Why integrating Stripe with Discord is normally a pain
Manual API Setup
You need to generate API keys, store them securely, and handle Stripe Connect yourself.
Webhook Configuration
Setting up webhook endpoints, SSL certificates, and handling event verification takes hours.
Role Management Logic
Writing code to sync payment status with Discord roles and handle edge cases.
Subscription Lifecycle
Managing cancellations, upgrades, downgrades, and failed payments manually.
How PayBot's Stripe Integration Works
Built on Stripe Connect for maximum security
Run /setup in Discord
Type the command and click "Connect Stripe Account". No copy-pasting API keys.
OAuth Authorization
You'll be taken to Stripe's official site to authorize PayBot using Stripe Connect. Your credentials never touch our servers.
Automatic Webhook Setup
PayBot registers webhooks on your Stripe account automatically. Payment events trigger role assignments without any manual configuration.
What happens behind the scenes
- checkout.session.completed events trigger role assignment
- customer.subscription.deleted events remove roles automatically
- invoice.payment_failed events send notifications to admins
- All payment data stays in your Stripe account (we never store card details)
Everything you need for Stripe + Discord
Stripe Checkout Sessions
Users click /subscription and get a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Supports cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more.
Subscription Billing
Recurring monthly or yearly subscriptions are handled by Stripe. Proration is automatic when users upgrade tiers.
Customer Portal Links
Members can manage their billing info, download invoices, and update payment methods through Stripe's customer portal.
Test Mode Support
Connect both test and live Stripe accounts to try the integration before going live.
Role Syncing
Discord roles are assigned the moment Stripe confirms payment. Roles are removed when subscriptions cancel or expire.
Metadata Tracking
Every Stripe payment includes Discord user ID and server ID in metadata for easy reconciliation.
Technical Implementation Details
Built on Stripe Connect Standard
PayBot uses Stripe Connect Standard accounts, which means:
- You keep full control of your Stripe dashboard
- Payouts go directly to your bank account on your schedule
- You can disconnect PayBot anytime without losing data
- Your pricing, tax settings, and business details stay in your control
Security First
We use Stripe's OAuth 2.0 flow, which is the same method used by Shopify, Zapier, and thousands of other platforms. Your Stripe secret keys never leave Stripe's servers.

PayBot vs. Building Your Own Integration
Common Stripe + Discord Use Cases
Trading Communities
Charge for access to private channels with real-time market signals. Stripe handles recurring billing while Discord roles lock channels.

Gaming Servers
Offer VIP tiers with perks like custom roles, priority queue, and exclusive channels. Let players upgrade seamlessly.
Coaching Programs
Run accountability groups or coaching cohorts with monthly subscriptions. Automatically remove access when members cancel.
Stripe Integration FAQ
Do I need a Stripe account?
Yes. You'll need either a live Stripe account (to accept real payments) or a test account (to try the integration). Sign up at stripe.com if you don't have one.
Does PayBot take a cut of my payments?
No. All payments go through your Stripe account and get deposited to your bank. You only pay Stripe's standard processing fees (2.9% + 30¢ in the US).
Can I use Stripe in test mode first?
Yes. Connect your Stripe test account to try everything with test card numbers before going live.
What if I disconnect my Stripe account?
Your membership configurations stay in Discord. If you reconnect the same Stripe account, everything resumes. Your historical payment data remains in Stripe.
Can I use Stripe Billing features like trials or coupons?
Promo codes work automatically at checkout. Free trials need to be configured when you create prices in your Stripe dashboard.
Does this work with Stripe in other countries?
Yes. PayBot works with any Stripe account in any supported country. Pricing automatically shows in your configured currency.
