Newbie & confused. I have a squarespace website, so I’m not sure I can integrate Discourse into the the site / members area. It would be awesome if so! I want to be able to give my customers (those who buy a package of services) access to the Discourse forum, but also to sell a monthly membership to others. I’ve looked at patreon, and don’t think it fits my needs. Example, I don’t want another repository of content, I want monthly & yearly subscriptions, and it’s all or nothing access not levels that I want to provide. So can I somehow use Paypal or Stripe to have a membership subscription that gives them access to Discourse and know that when they stop paying, they will no longer have access? Or can I put my discourse info in a member area of Squarespace. TY for helping a newbie out. Really like discourse – hoping I can find a way to continue.

at the risk of showing my complete novice status – I think that is completely over my head!

Its alright. You can’t know everything if you are new. Welcome to the community by the way :discourse: :tada:

So I found plug-ins, and got this error: Unable to configure link to ‘Subscriptions’. Ensure ad-blockers are disabled and try reloading the page. Now to figure that out :slight_smile:

I feel like this could meet my needs if I can just figure out how to make to work. I was able to get past the pop-up, but I don’t even know where to start with the instructions. Is there a helpdesk?

Hi @danabrig, Are you trying to get this to work on the plan that we host for you, or do you also have a self-hosted site?

I don’t really know what that means? I’m on a trial of discourse. I think it’s exactly what I’m looking for. If I can confirm the subscription works I’ll sign up today! Without the subscription I’m trying to figure out else to manage paid access

Good news - the Subscription plugin is available on all of our hosting plans. :tada: :slight_smile: You should be able to find it on your /admin/plugins page and enable it from there. You will need to set it up for your Stripe account following the instructions in the Discourse Subscriptions Plugin topic @ondrej linked above. :+1:

I’m super close after talking with the folks over at stripe. I see the subscription option, but it’s not pulling in the product. [~WRD000.jpg]

This is great info @JammyDodger I’m working on a similar functionality as @danabrig using SqSp and Discourse. I had a few questions: How can I create a quarterly subscription option? (I only see monthly and annual, among a few options) How do I prevent access to the discourse instance for non-subscribers (i.e. members)? I know I can limit access/permissions with groups, however I’m trying to understand the workflow/funnel to get to the Products page for non-subscribed users (which are also users that have not created an account/logged in yet). Appreciate the help. Dana - how’s the “integration” going for you?
