Need recommendation for memberships in FC
As new member here I think about how to monetize my site with FC. I have few questions which you could answer if you run paid memberships:
I need something for Donations and Subscription payments and also something selling memberships like some Tiers 1, 2, 3 with different capabilities and advantages and functions.
How can I reach it? Combine Paymattic with FluentCart? Just Paymattic or just FluentCart? What you use on your site efectively? I want to stay with FC plugins if possible.
For you:
Donations: Paymattic (no mention of donations in FC docs)
Subscriptions: FluentCart
Memberships: You need content restriction such as Fluent CRM+Fluent Community
Where will the content for your membership live? On your site as posts? In courses inside of Fluent Community?

My stack (complex; not recommended):
Surecart to sell the subscription to my membership
SureMembers: restricts content on my website to my members
Ottokit: adds Fluent CRM (free version) tags when the membership is purchased which gives access to courses and spaces in…
Fluent Community
I'd set it up slightly different from Kaneisha G. but that's because I've been doing it like below for awhile.
NOTE: I have Pro versions of everything so I'm not sure if what I'm suggesting requires pro or not.
If its essential that your donations & payments are embedded on your website then Fluent Forms for both donations & subscriptions. Unless you're going to have a lot of different products, then go with FluentCart. Handling about ±20 offers with Fluent Forms is really not a big deal. On my ADHD coaching website, thesuccessdoula.com, I have multiple products (there are actually more than what you see because there are workshops and seasonal offerings that aren't listed currently).
I use FluentCRM tags to control everything.
However, I know the Fluent team is planning deep integrations with FCart and FComm but they don't have donations available yet. Depending on your payment processor, you can also accept donations directly through that. For example, Stripe has donation options using their payment link. This is mine: https://buy.stripe.com/28E4gz3rR96W9EsdGa9Zm03
If you saw the announcement video for FC V2, around 18 minutes he shows how to integrate FCart & FComm with memberships and everything.

I will probably make the switch to Fluent Cart on the website above, but it's not a high priority since everything works well. But I am setting up FCart + FComm + FCRM on a revamp of one of my other websites (it's currently FCRM + Woo and Fluent Forms (payment) + LearnDash).
