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

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.
