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 w…

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 …

Ah, I think I get it now. Your issue wasn’t so much about Ghost and Discourse being self-hosted, but DoG itself, right?

Wow. Appreciated it a lot :pray:t3:

Hi there, I’m new here and joined specifically to research this issue: how to integrate a paid (hosted) Discourse instance with paid (hosted) Ghost(Pro) via a robust, secure third party SSO app. Did you manage to fix this? What route did you take? Would be great to know how you got on …

Hi @inderjot did you manage to sort this? I am looking for a solution to your same problem, and so far have hit a brick wall between Ghost and Discourse support teams.
