Aloha!
Is it possible to install a paywall that doesn’t take the user offsite?
I’ve seen [https://community.thefantasyfootballers.com/](https://community.thefantasyfootballers.com/) recommended as a site that does a paywall well, but the “Join and unlock all forums” upgrade sends users offsite to Patreon.
I had hoped for an option, like a payment pop-up, that allows the users to pay without leaving.
Mahalo!

You can take a look at this plugin

> This plugin allows you to take one-time or recurring payments in exchange for access to a group. Effectively, that allows you to put categories behind a paywall and opens up a lot of possibilities that allow the monetization of your forum. If you want to get a feel for how this works, you can see a [demo setup here](https://demo.procourse.co/memberships/l/6269).

[Memberful.com](http://Memberful.com) also integrates natively with Stripe and Discourse and is what I previously used. They charge ~$25/mo plus 4.9% on top of Stripe’s 2.9%.
EDIT: I’m moving to free access to the site, then allowing someone to upgrade via Gravity Forms on Wordpress with Stripe, which then creates a new WP user, which is SSO for Discourse and updates Group access to view “protected” groups. It’s not super straight forward (like Memberful is), but it’ll save me 4.9% which is a lot. Here’s my flow: [Wordpress SSO flow](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wordpress-sso-flow/128496)
