Paid group membership (in turn granting access to specific categories) is an existing feature. Take a look in #plugins

Examples include [Patreon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-patreon-integration/44366), [Procourse Memberships](https://meta.discourse.org/t/procourse-memberships/57558/) and [Subscriptia](https://meta.discourse.org/t/subscriptia-simple-paid-memberships/99275).

If you have an existing website which handles such memberships you can also deliver group membership information via your SSO payload.

Users can’t charge others fees directly on a site they don’t own, would it make sense for them to even be able to?
