This guide explains how to use Suby to accept payments and manage paid access for Telegram groups or channels, without building a custom checkout or payment flow.

Overview

How Telegram Gating Works

Telegram access is based on group or channel membership.

Suby bot ensures that only users with a valid subscription can:

• Join private groups

• Stay inside paid channels

• Keep their access active over time

---

Granting Access

Suby bot can:

• Add a user to a private Telegram group or channel, even if they were not previously a member

• Grant access immediately after a successful payment

• Update the user’s access status as long as they continue paying

---

Renewals & Reminders (Crypto Only)

For crypto subscriptions:

• Users receive renewal reminders before losing access

• If the payment is completed, access continues

• If the payment is not completed, access is removed automatically

Card subscriptions do not require reminders, as they renew automatically.

---

Removing Access

Access is automatically revoked when:

• Payment is invalid or fails

• Crypto subscription is not renewed after reminders

The user is removed from the group or channel without manual action.
