Trusted by Discord Communities
"PayBot simplified our entire subscription process. We set it up in minutes and now manage over 200 premium members effortlessly."

"Our members love how easy it is to subscribe. The seamless role assignment and checkout process has boosted our conversion rate significantly."
Building a Paid Community Shouldn't Be This Hard
- You want to gate premium channels but Discord has no built-in paywall
- Managing who has access to what is a nightmare at scale
- Free members keep asking how to join the paid tier
- No branded page to showcase your membership tiers
- You're losing potential members because the signup process is confusing
You built a community worth paying for. Let the bot handle access control so you can focus on creating value for your members.
How Paid Memberships Work with PayBot
Connect Stripe, create your membership tiers, and share your storefront. PayBot handles payments, role assignments, and access control automatically.
Connect your Stripe
Connect Stripe from the PayBot dashboard you land in after install, or with /setup in Discord. Takes under 2 minutes.
Create membership tiers
Each tier gets a Discord role that unlocks specific channels. Bronze, Silver, Gold, or whatever fits your community.
Share your storefront
Members pick a tier, pay through Stripe, and get instant access to their gated channels.
Everything You Need to Run a Paid Community
Tiered Access Levels
Create Bronze, Silver, Gold, each with its own Discord role and channel access. Members see exactly what they get.
Role-Gated Channels
Paid roles unlock private channels automatically. No manual permission management.
Branded Storefront
A beautiful link-in-bio style page with all your tiers, bio, and social links. Share it anywhere.
Sell to Non-Discord Users
Buyers don't need an existing Discord account. They create one at sign-in, and PayBot adds them to your server when the payment clears.
Tier Upgrades
Members switch from Basic to Pro without canceling. They pay the prorated difference now or the new price at renewal, as you choose.
Onboarding DMs
New members get a welcome DM you write for each product the moment their access starts. First impressions matter.
Your Membership Has Its Own Storefront
A branded page where potential members can browse your tiers, see what each level includes, and join in one click. Share it in your YouTube descriptions, social bios, newsletters, or anywhere else.
- Designer templates, styled in the PayBot Studio
- Custom URLs like
go.paybotapp.com/yourname - "Most Popular" badges to guide buyers toward your best tier
- Display all membership levels with pricing and descriptions
- Works on any device, mobile optimized
Build a Community Members Stay For
Members open their own private channels, your events fill up, and quiet voice rooms come alive. The daily pull that keeps members from canceling.
Member-Created Private Groups
Let members create their own opt-in interest groups as private threads via /groups, perfect for cohorts and sub-communities inside your paid membership.
Auto Event Announcements
/events auto-announces your coaching calls, AMAs, and member events at intervals you set so attendance actually happens.
Voice Channel First-Member Alerts
/monitor tells the room when the first member hops into a voice channel, so your premium "members lounge" actually gets used.

Membership Bot FAQ
How do members join my paid community?
They visit your storefront or use /subscription in Discord, pick a membership tier, pay via Stripe, and get their role instantly. Access to gated channels is immediate.
Can I have multiple membership levels?
Yes, unlimited tiers. Each tier maps to a Discord role with different channel access. Bronze sees general paid channels, Gold sees everything.
Do members need a Discord account to join?
They sign in with Discord before paying, and anyone without an account can create one right there. Once the payment clears, PayBot adds them to your server with their role.
What happens when someone cancels?
They keep access until the end of the period they paid for, then PayBot removes their role and they lose the gated channels. Clean and automatic, no manual cleanup.
Can I offer monthly and yearly memberships?
Yes. Create both pricing options and group them together. Members choose their preferred billing cycle at checkout.
What does PayBot cost?
PayBot is free to install and use, with no monthly fee and no trial clock. You only pay when your members pay you: PayBot keeps a small 3% share of your sales, on top of Stripe's standard processing rate. Set everything up first and pay only once money is coming in.
