Discourse Subscriptions with Thrive Cart

Sami_Syed wants to use the Discourse Subscriptions plugin to create a private subscription-only group and grant access to users who purchase a product using Thrive Cart. blake points out that Thrive Cart uses Stripe Connect, which doesn’t provide direct Stripe API keys needed for the Discourse Subscriptions plugin. Instead, blake suggests using Zapier to accept the Thrive Cart webhook and make an API call to Discourse to add users to the private group, as building a custom Discourse plugin would be an alternative solution.

I was wondering how I can use the Discourse Subscriptions Plugin plugin (or any other similar plugin) to:

  • Create a private subscription-ONLY group within Discourse

  • Grant users access to this private group only when they purchase a product using Thrive Cart.

I am assuming that I can send a webhook from Thrive Cart to Discourse to create a new user and grant them access to the subscription-ONLY group?

It’s worth noting that I am using Wordpress SSO. I thin it might even be worth exploring the Discourse Automation plugin for this.

Any advice here would be helpful. Thanks!

Looks like Thrive uses Stripe?

The problem is that it uses Stripe Connect so you don’t get your own Stripe api keys that the Discourse Subscription plugin still needs.

This webhook likely doesn’t match the Stripe one so it won’t be compatible with the Discourse subscription plugin.

The discourse subscription plugin likely isn’t the route to go for this at the moment because it is only designed to work with Stripe directly. Unless you want to build a simple Discourse plugin yourself to accept the thrive webhook I would look into using Zapier It should be able to accept the Thrive webhook, and then make a corresponding api call to Discourse that adds the user to your private group.
