What your member does
Four steps, none of them yours.
They press a price
On the plans panel you pin in your server, or on your invite page. Every billing period has its own button with its price on it.
flatpass knows who they are
From the panel in your server, the checkout link they get is already tied to their Discord account. On your invite page they sign in with Discord, or have the bot DM them a link.
They pay on Stripe’s checkout
By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The payment goes straight into your own Stripe account.
They get the role
Straight away, with nothing for you to check. If they weren’t in your server yet, flatpass adds them.
Setting it up
Four steps, all from your dashboard.
- Add the flatpass bot to your server. It asks for two permissions: Manage Roles, to add and remove the roles you sell, and Create Invite, to put buyers into your server. Never Administrator.
- Connect Stripe. You use your own Stripe account, new or existing. Stripe’s onboarding takes about ten minutes and asks for photo ID and bank details, so it’s easier on a laptop.
- Pick the role you want to sell.
- Set a price: weekly, monthly, every three months, every six months or yearly.
Then run /flatpass panel in the channel where you want the plans panel, and pin it. Posting the panel.

When the role comes off
The role follows the subscription, not the click.
The member cancels. They keep it for the time they’ve already paid for.
Until the period endsA renewal payment fails. They keep it while Stripe retries the card. It comes off if the subscription ends.
While Stripe retriesYou give a full refund. The subscription ends too.
Comes off nowThe member pauses. It comes back when they resume.
Off until they resumeYou give a partial refund. The subscription carries on as before.
No changeThe member leaves your server. The subscription keeps billing until they cancel it.
No change
What else you can set up
- Several tiers, each with its own role and its own prices, and members can switch between the ones you mark switchable.
- A role with no price, which needs no Stripe account and never counts toward the 15.
- A free trial for the whole server.
- Promo codes members type on your invite page before checkout.
The one Discord rule
Discord only lets a bot give out roles that sit below its own role, and it puts a new bot’s role at the bottom. So drag flatpass above the roles you sell, in Server Settings → Roles. The flatpass dashboard warns you if a role you sell is out of reach, and members who paid in the meantime get their role as soon as you fix it.
What it doesn’t do
Worth knowing before you set it up, rather than after.
Not yet, or not at all
No lifetime access: a price is a subscription, weekly, monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or yearly, or one payment for access until a date you set, the same for every buyer. And there’s no PayPal or crypto: members pay through Stripe’s checkout, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
What it costs
- 15 free
- 80 for $29
- 200 for $79
- 750 for $149
- ∞ for $399
All features on every tier. The only meter is active paid members — never a percentage of your sales. Full pricing →
Free up to 15 paid members, then a flat monthly fee from $29, and 0% of your sales on every plan. Stripe’s card fee comes out of each payment as usual, and the money goes straight into your own Stripe account, not a flatpass balance.

Common questions
How do I give a Discord role automatically when someone pays?
Add the flatpass bot to your server, connect your Stripe account, and link a role to a price: when someone pays, they get the role, and when their subscription ends, it comes off. It’s free up to 15 paid members, and flatpass takes 0% of your sales on every plan.
Does a member need to be in my server before they pay?
No. They can pay from your invite page, and flatpass adds them to the server with the role.
What if someone paid and didn’t get the role?
Almost always, the role sits above flatpass’s own role in your role list. Drag flatpass above it and the role goes out; the member can also run /membership in the server, which re-applies it. The fix, step by step.
Can I use the Stripe account I already have?
Yes. flatpass connects to it through Stripe’s own onboarding and never sees your keys.
Does flatpass hold my money?
No. Payments go straight into your Stripe account, and Stripe pays out to your bank on its usual schedule.
Can I sell more than one role?
Yes. Each tier has its own role and its own prices.
