How Payment Processing Works
User Initiates Purchase
Member runs /subscription command and selects a tier. PayBot creates a Stripe checkout session on your connected account.
Stripe Handles Payment
User enters card info on Stripe's PCI-compliant checkout page. Stripe processes the charge and handles 3D Secure if needed.
PayBot Detects Completion
PayBot polls the checkout session status every 10 seconds. When Stripe marks it complete, PayBot records the subscription.
Role Assignment
Discord role is added to the member within seconds. They get a DM confirmation with subscription details.

Payment Security & Compliance
PCI-DSS Compliant
All payment processing happens on Stripe's infrastructure, which is certified PCI-DSS Level 1 (the highest level of compliance). Card data never touches PayBot's servers or your Discord server.
Your Stripe Account
Payments are processed through your own Stripe account. You maintain full ownership of customer data, and funds are deposited directly to your bank account.
OAuth Authentication
PayBot connects to Stripe using OAuth 2.0. Your Stripe secret keys never leave Stripe's servers, and you can disconnect PayBot anytime from your Stripe dashboard.
Data Encryption
All communication between PayBot, Discord, and Stripe uses TLS 1.3 encryption. Discord user IDs are stored encrypted in our database.
Handling Failed Payments
Payment failures are normal. Cards expire, bank accounts run out of funds, or fraud checks trigger false positives. Here's how PayBot handles them:
1. Stripe Retries Automatically
Stripe's Smart Retries feature attempts to charge the card again at optimal times based on machine learning. This recovers about 30% of failed payments without any action.
2. Customer Notification
If retry fails, Stripe emails the customer asking them to update their payment method. You can customize these emails in your Stripe dashboard.
3. Subscription Cancellation
After all retry attempts are exhausted (based on your Stripe settings), the subscription cancels. PayBot detects this and removes the Discord role automatically.
4. Re-activation Support
If the member updates their payment method in Stripe, they can run /subscription again to reactivate without creating a new subscription.

Payment Processing FAQ
What payment methods does the processor support?
Whatever your Stripe account supports. Usually this includes Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and various regional methods depending on your location.
Are there any transaction fees beyond Stripe's?
No. You only pay Stripe's standard processing fees (2.9% + 30¢ per transaction in the US) and PayBot's flat monthly fee. We never take a percentage of your revenue.
Can I process payments in multiple currencies?
Yes, if your Stripe account supports it. Your customers will be charged in the currency you set when creating each price.
How long does it take for payments to reach my bank?
That depends on your Stripe payout schedule, which you control in your Stripe dashboard. Typically it's 2-7 days after the initial payment.
What happens if Stripe is down?
If Stripe's API is unavailable, users won't be able to complete checkouts until it's back. PayBot will automatically retry failed requests. Historical data shows Stripe has 99.99% uptime.
Can I export transaction data?
All transaction data lives in your Stripe dashboard. You can export it as CSV or connect Stripe to your accounting software using their integrations.
