This Stripe Discord bot is useful to put a Discord server behind a paywall. It makes direct requests to Stripe, meaning there is no other fees (like when using Donatebot.io) to manage roles. Users have to provide their email using /email and they get instant access. There is a daily check to make sure their subscriptions are still active.
You can install and host this bot on your own server. Here are the main steps:
- Download and install Node.js v16 or higher.
- Download and install PostgreSQL v13 or higher.
- Create a new database and a new role that has access to the database.
- Install the dependencies of the project by running
yarn install. - Run
yarn buildto get the JavaScript output of the project. - Install PM2 or another process manager to keep your bot alive, or run
yarn start. - You are done!
