# Discord

#### Overview

The Suby bot acts as an access controller for your Discord community. Its core role is to grant, manage, and revoke access to private channels based on a user’s payment status.

Access on Discord is handled through roles, which are automatically assigned or removed depending on payments and renewals.

***

#### How Discord Gating Works

Discord access is granted through a role linked to a paid product.

* The role unlocks private channels
* Losing the role immediately removes access

Suby bot automates this entire flow.

***

#### Granting Access

Suby bot can:

* Invite a user into your Discord server even if they are not already a member
* Assign the correct paid role immediately after a successful payment
* Assign a role to users who are already inside the Discord

If the payment is successful, the role is applied automatically.

***

#### Removing Access

Suby bot automatically removes access in the following cases:

* Payment fails → no role is assigned
* Card subscription fails to renew → role is removed
* Crypto subscription is not renewed after the reminder period → role is removed

Access is always synced with the subscription state.

***

#### Notifications & Reminders

Suby bot sends notifications to keep both admins and members informed:

* Payment successful
* Renewal reminder (crypto subscriptions only)
* Access removed due to non-payment

These notifications help reduce churn and avoid confusion.

***

#### Free Access (Free Days)

You can grant temporary access to any user using the /freedays command.

* Assign a role for a fixed number of days
* Role is automatically removed when the free period ends

Useful for trials, giveaways, or manual exceptions.
