Manage group membership in Discourse with WP Discourse SSO

It looks like when someone places the order they might not already have a Discourse account, so hooking into the “subscription changed” hooks can’t work.

When Discourse is used as the SSO provider, you can check if a WordPress user has a Discourse account by checking if the value returned by this statement is empty:

get_user_meta( $user_id, 'discourse_sso_user_id', true );

You’ll need to do something to handle the case where the user doesn’t yet have a Discourse account. Creating the user via the API and adding them to the appropriate groups is probably the right solution. It will take some work to set that up.
