README.md

Discourse Patrons

Accept payments from visitors to your Discourse application. Integrates with Stripe.

This is a newer version of https://github.com/rimian/discourse-donations.

Installation

Be sure your site is enforcing https.
Follow the install instructions here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157
Add your Stripe public and private keys in settings and set the currency to your local value.

What are Subscriptions?

There are two core components to make subscriptions work for your Discourse application. These are Products and Plans.

A Product describes what the user gets when they subscribe. It has a name and description and is associated with a Discourse user group.

A Plan is how you charge your users for the Product. Plans have rates, billing intervals and trial periods. A Product may have multiple Plans. For example: a yearly and a monthly Plan. You can't change plans much once they are created but you can archive them and create new ones.

Together, Products and Plans make up subscriptions.

How to set up your Discourse app for subscriptions.

Set up your payment gateway.

Firstly, you'll need an account with the Stripe payment gateway. This is how you take your payments. When you get a moment, take a look at Stripe's documentation. But for now, you can set up an account in test mode and see how it all works without making any real transactions. Then, if you're happy with how everything works, you can start taking real transactions. See below for test credit card numbers.

Known issues

CSS is mucked up in Safari and probably Firefox too.
The phone number isn't sent to Stripe

TODOs

Confirm dialog CSS isn't the best.
Check against other themes (works ok with light and dark)
Validate the model properly. Not in the stripe component
Show the transaction on the thank you page.
Work out where to put the helper tests. Name collision!
