I was able to find a way to replicate much of what the Subscriptions plugin does using Invoice Ninja, which supports a multitude of payment processors including Paypal. I highly recommend it!

The Invoice Ninja “payment links” documentation page is a good place to start if you want to try this: [Payment Links | Invoice Ninja](https://invoiceninja.github.io/docs/user-guide/subscriptions)

Then you use a webhook and scheduled cron task to make sure discourse is updated when people start, change or end their subscription plan.
