How Payment Processing Works

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 is encrypted in transit. The Discord access tokens PayBot keeps are stored encrypted.
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.
2. Customer Notification
While Stripe retries, PayBot emails and DMs the member to update their payment method, and alerts you that the payment failed.
3. Grace Period, Then Role Removal
The member keeps access for the grace period you set (7 days by default, or none). If the payment hasn't recovered by then, PayBot 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.
What does PayBot cost?
PayBot is free to install, with no monthly fee. You only pay when your members pay you: PayBot keeps a small 3% share of your sales, and Stripe charges its own standard processing fees (about 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction in the US). Nothing is due while you're not selling.
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.
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.
