Sell Community Access
Sell paid community access for Discord, Telegram, Slack, and WhatsApp with checkout grants and subscription expiry rules.
Community lets you sell paid access to the places your customers already use: Discord servers, Telegram groups or channels, Slack channels, and WhatsApp groups. It works for memberships, subscriptions, private communities, paid support rooms, and buyer-only access spaces.
The flow is always the same:
- Connect the platform from Community settings.
- Add the server, group, or channel you want SellApp to manage.
- Open a product, expand Community, and choose which access should be granted after purchase.
- Decide whether linking is required at checkout and whether access should be removed when a subscription expires.
SellApp tracks the grant on the order, shows pending actions when a platform needs the customer to join, and gives you a Health view for setup issues like missing bot access or Discord role hierarchy problems.
Platform differences
Discord can grant one or more roles inside a connected server, which makes it a strong fit for a paid Discord server or role-based membership. The customer connects their Discord account during checkout when the product requires it.
Telegram adds customers to a connected group or channel. Setup uses a verification code flow, so you do not need to create your own Telegram app.
Slack grants access to channels in a connected workspace. Customers are invited through your workspace invite link, then SellApp handles the channel access.
WhatsApp grants access to groups. The customer confirms their phone number, then joins the group so SellApp can approve the request.
Before you attach access to products
Make sure the platform is connected and healthy first. If SellApp cannot see a Discord role, cannot access a Slack channel, or cannot verify a WhatsApp group, that issue will carry into checkout.
For subscription products, keep the expiry setting switched on when access should only last for the paid period. SellApp will revoke community access when the subscription expires or is cancelled, so access stays tied to the customer's paid status.
