Stripe supports Pay What You Like: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/pay-what-you-want

If you maintain your product catalog outside of Stripe, you might want to use inline pricing. With inline pricing, you set inline prices for products or services when you create a Checkout Session.

You can also use inline pricing to collect donations. However, unlike pay-what-you-want pricing, you can’t reuse or update inline prices, and they’re only available through the API.

It's a bit unclear if the "pay what you like" slider should exist on our own website or we can use "inline pricing" with this option... but probably the Strip Docs say that somewhere...

Using this feature contradicts automatic renewal somewhat (since we would like to ask for the additional contribution from members)

Another point: If we rely on Stripe's features, we get more vendor locked-in and the "pay what you like" won't work for people that want to pay with bank transfer (supposing we want to make use of that)
