As the author, I can tell you that the Premium BT plugin is not the answer. It’s very outdated and most likely nonfunctional at this point.

I’m not familiar with the Patreon plugin but my limited knowledge of it tells me that it would work to create different payment levels that grant access to different groups. I don’t know what fees Patreon collects but I would imagine them to be fairly high.

All of that said, I’m currently in the middle of building a plugin (working title is Discourse League) that handles paid access to groups through either a subscription or initial payment or both. There are a lot of other details I want to implement but that’s the base idea that I’m working towards.

The obvious difficulty with this is payment gateways and currencies to support. My plan is to use [Active Merchant](https://activemerchant.org) for the backend. I’ll have to build in limited support on my end to make each gateway work but the long-term goal is to support every gateway in AM. That should hopefully help with the currency support.

I’m looking at early February for a limited launch for this. 😉
