Why server owners are monetizing
If you're providing value to your members, you should get paid for it. Trading signals, coaching, courses, or community access all have monetary value.
- Paid memberships filter out lurkers — people who pay are more engaged and contribute more
- Recurring revenue lets you invest back into your community with better tools and moderation
- Unlike YouTube or Patreon, you own the entire payment relationship — no platform can demonetize you
- Price as a quality filter — higher price means more serious members and better discussions
Your Payment Page
Secure CheckoutSell to anyone — even non-Discord users
Your followers don't need an existing Discord account. They create one during checkout, then get an invite link to your server. The bot assigns their role instantly.
- No existing Discord account required
- Create Discord account during checkout
- Auto-email with server invite after payment
- Bot assigns roles the moment they join

Affiliate & Referral Programs
10-30% boost to existing revenue
What it is: Turn paying members into your growth engine. Each member gets a personal referral link. When someone subscribes through it, the referrer earns a commission — deposited to their account automatically via Stripe.
Commission structures that work:
- 10% recurring — member earns as long as the referral stays subscribed
- 20% first month + 10% ongoing — front-loaded incentive to drive action now
- Flat $10 per referral — simple, predictable for lower-priced tiers
How it works: PayBot tracks every click, attributes every conversion, and handles payouts through your connected Stripe account. You set the rate. Available on the Large plan.

Monetization Questions
Will I lose members if I start charging?
Some, yes. But the members who stay are more valuable. Most servers see 10-30% of active free members convert to paid. Those paying members are 10x more engaged.
Should I keep free channels or go all-paid?
Hybrid works best. Keep some channels free for community building, then lock premium content behind paid tiers. This lets people see the vibe before subscribing.
How fast do I get paid?
First payout is usually 7-10 days after your first sale (Stripe's fraud prevention). After that, it's based on your schedule — most people set it to weekly.
What fees are involved?
Stripe charges 2.9% + 30c per transaction (varies by country). PayBot charges $0-89/mo depending on your subscriber count. No other fees or revenue sharing.
Can I use my existing Stripe account?
Yes. If you already have a Stripe account for other projects, you can use that. All Discord payments will show up in the same dashboard.
What if someone disputes a charge?
Stripe handles disputes through their dashboard. You can provide evidence (screenshots showing they had access to paid channels). Most disputes are resolved in your favor if you have proof of service.
