Ghost Paid Plan and Discourse Paid Plan SSO

My goal:
My premium ghost members (on a paid plan) should get automatic access to a paid hosted discourse community which otherwise is not accessible. Ghost is handling the payments and SSO to Discourse.

Hello,
i have read the posts about integration of discourse and ghost on self hosting but i was wondering if there is also a solution to above stated goal for no-coding people like me?

Appreciate any guidance here

By saying that you’ve “read the posts about integration of discourse and ghost on self hosting”, does that mean you’ve read about DoG?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes i did read it. As i undertstand it the context it is talked about is strictly self hosting.
In my case i was looking for a solution for a paid account (on both sides).

I have asked the same in the Discourse forum itself (with no solution) and they suggested posting here too.

Ah, I think I get it now. Your issue wasn’t so much about Ghost and Discourse being self-hosted, but DoG itself, right? Because yes, although I have Ghost and Discourse instances hosted by both Ghost and Discourse themselves, the DoG instance connecting the two is self-hosted.

If that’s your issue I can sympathise with it as I’d ideally want something where I could be fully hands off as well, but unfortunately that’s not something that exists at the moment.

That is correct. It’s about connecting both paid versions which currently can’t be connected (integrated) which is really a bummer as both are great products and making it available like that would open it to many more people who can’t or don’t want to code and self host. Ghost has a super smooth and frictionless payment workflow and utulising it with the power of discourse would make a great combination.

I think I may be able to do something for this, will have to dig into it.

Yes. By none other than myself :grimacing:
And i’m still perplexed that nobody else has brought it up :man_shrugging:t3:

I just created a topic on Discourse’s forum questioning whether or not the creation of a Sign in with Ghost plugin is technically possible.
