Let the bot handle the subscription lifecycle so you can focus on your members. ![PayBot automates subscription management in Discord](https://paybotapp.com/images/discord_dashboard_light.png) ## How Discord Subscriptions Work with PayBot Connect Stripe, create your tiers, and share a link.

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. ## Start Your Subscription Business ### Free $0/month Up to 3 subscribers [Add to Server](https://paybotapp.com/r/) No credit card • Try it free Most Popular ### Small $9/month Up to 50 subscribers [Add to Server](https://paybotapp.com/r/) No credit card • Start earning ### Large $89/month Up to 500 subscribers + one-time payments + affiliate program [Add to Server](https://paybotapp.com/r/) No credit card • Scale up No additional transaction fees beyond Stripe's standard processing rate. ## Subscription Bot FAQ ### What payment methods do subscribers use?
