[Learn About Payment Links →](https://paybotapp.com/discord-payment-links/) ## What the Bot Does For You PayBot automates membership tier creation, role assignment, subscription upgrades, failed payment handling, tier groups, and member notifications — all through simple Discord slash commands. ### Membership Tier Creation Set up unlimited membership levels with different prices and roles. Want Bronze, Silver, Gold tiers? Done. Need different pricing for students vs. professionals? Easy. ### Automatic Role Assignment Roles get added when someone pays and removed when they cancel. No manual work. The bot polls Stripe every few seconds to catch completed payments. ### Seamless Upgrades Members can upgrade to higher tiers mid-billing cycle. Stripe prorates the charge automatically so they only pay the difference. ### Failed Payment Handling If a card fails, Stripe retries automatically based on your settings. If the subscription ultimately cancels, the bot removes their role. ### Tier Groups Link related tiers together (like Basic → Pro → Premium) to enable one-click upgrades and downgrades between them. ### Member Notifications The bot sends DMs to members when payments succeed, fail, or when their subscription is about to renew. ## Real Discord Servers Using PayBot ### Trading Discord ~200 paid members **Setup:** Three tiers ($49/mo, $99/mo, $199/mo) for different signal channels. **What they did:** Used tier groups so members can upgrade from Basic to Pro without canceling. Pro members get access to private voice channels for live trading calls. **Result:** 40% of Basic members upgraded within 60 days. ### Fitness Coaching Server ~95 paid members **Setup:** Monthly ($9) and yearly ($90) subscriptions for the same program. **What they did:** Gave the annual tier a different role color to make it feel premium. Added a "Yearly Member" badge in the nickname. **Result:** 30% chose annual upfront, improving cash flow. ### Course Community ~140 members **Setup:** One-time $199 payment for lifetime access to course channels. **What they did:** Used the Large plan to enable one-time purchases. Students get a "Graduate" role after purchase. **Result:** Simpler than monthly billing for a cohort-based program. ## PayBot vs. LaunchPass vs. Whop vs. Patreon — Feature-by-Feature Feature PayBot LaunchPass Whop Patreon Platform fee **0%** 3-5% 3-10% 5-12% Discord role management Automatic Automatic Manual setup Via integration Subscription bot in Discord Built-in /subscribe External link External link External link One-time payments Yes (Large plan) No Yes Limited Your own Stripe account Yes No No No Tier upgrades/downgrades Prorated, in-Discord Cancel and resubscribe External External Branded payment portal Yes Yes Yes Yes Affiliate payouts Yes (Large plan) No Yes No Comparison based on publicly available information as of 2026.

PayBot requires Manage Roles, Send Messages, Embed Links, and Read Message History permissions. It cannot read DMs or access private channels. When you add PayBot, you'll be asked to grant these permissions: - **Manage Roles:** To assign and remove roles when subscriptions change - **Send Messages:** To respond to commands and send payment confirmations - **Embed Links:** To show formatted subscription options - **Read Message History:** To see command interactions The bot can't read your DMs, see private channels it's not added to, or access any other Discord data. ### Role Hierarchy Tip Make sure the PayBot role is positioned above the roles you want it to manage in your server settings. Discord only lets bots assign roles that are lower than their own position. ## Bot Pricing ### Free $0/month 0% platform fees Up to 3 subscribers [Add Bot](https://paybotapp.com/r/) No credit card • Try first Most Popular ### Small $9/month 0% platform fees Up to 50 subscribers - ✓ Payment links [Add Bot](https://paybotapp.com/r/) No credit card • Start earning ### Large $89/month 0% platform fees Up to 500 subscribers + one-time payments + affiliate program + import from Stripe - ✓ Payment links [Add Bot](https://paybotapp.com/r/) No credit card • Earn now ### Ultra $399/month 0% platform fees Unlimited subscribers - ✓ Everything in Large - ✓ Team payroll for community managers - ✓ Priority support - ✓ Custom feature requests [Add Bot](https://paybotapp.com/r/) No credit card • Scale now Stripe's payment processing fees apply separately (usually 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction) ## Learn More [ ### Discord Subscription Bot The Discord subscription bot for recurring memberships — automated billing, renewals, and role assignments.

Yes. You connect your own Stripe account, so all your payment data, customer info, and payout schedule stay exactly the same. ### What if I already have paying members outside Discord? You can manually assign roles to them, or have them go through the /subscription flow to link their Discord account to their Stripe subscription. ### Does the bot work in multiple servers? Yes, but each server needs its own Stripe connection. You can't share subscriptions across multiple Discord servers. ### Can I customize the bot's messages? Not currently. The bot sends standard confirmation messages and payment links. If you need custom branding, you'd need to build a custom bot. ### What happens if someone's payment fails? Stripe automatically retries failed payments according to your Stripe settings. If the subscription ultimately cancels, the bot removes their role and sends them a DM. ### Can members get refunds? Refunds are handled through your Stripe dashboard. If you issue a refund, you'd manually remove their Discord role (the bot doesn't auto-detect refunds yet). ## Ready to Add Payments to Your Discord?
