Requiring users to pay to access a category ? Possible

Makc

Hi guys,

First post here. I've just discovered your platform through Google, amazing ! Love the design and functionalities.
I would like to create a forum for my community, actually 300 000 people on Facebook.
I really need this feature :
- An automatic payed access to a private category on a forum (ex : 10$ to access during 1 month to this private category or renewal access 10$/month). I would like to use something like Stripe.

Thank You

webeindustry I may have a solution for you.

Is that something that would come out as an extension, eventually? Even at reasonable cost? ?
I don't need anything like that now, but possibly in the future.

hahahahaha

At this point, I'm just interested in the concept in general. Can someone flesh out a use case or scenario a bit more for this? For example, what would be a content topic/scenario that people pay for by month? Also, how would the "automatically paid" work?

csf Stripe offers a simply monthly payment solution. Using an api one can request user details, including credit cards and then simply have stripe solve recurring payments.

I can imagine such a scenario if you have specific content that you would allow users to view. Much like a payment wall.

Clear enough. Thanks!

Yes I would want this to be an extension. The details are not all fleshed out, but as it's a commercial feature it would carry some cost. It wouldn't make sense to have this be high-cost, that much is certain.

@clarkwinkelmann is working on an extension called paywall that does this.
