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 build to 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!

If you have any issue or bug with this bot, you can contact me using Discord, Androz#2091 or @androz2091.
