Telegram subscription bot that runs on your own Stripe

Charge for access to your private Telegram group or channel. The bot approves paying members, removes them when their access ends, and the money goes straight to your Stripe account.

A Telegram subscription bot automates paid access to a private channel or group: it charges members, lets them in when they pay, and removes them when their subscription ends. Grouptizer is that bot — @grouptizer_bot on Telegram — with one difference that matters: buyers are charged on your own Stripe account, so your revenue is yours from the very first sale.

What the Telegram membership bot actually does

Add @grouptizer_bot to your channel or group as an admin and verify it from your Grouptizer dashboard. That's the whole setup — from then on, the bot handles the door.

  1. 1

    One invite link

    The bot generates a single invite link with manual approval. Every buyer uses that same link.

  2. 2

    Buyers get in

    Buyers purchase on your storefront. When their join request matches a valid purchase, the bot approves it on the spot.

  3. 3

    Out when it expires, back if they return

    When someone cancels or their period ends, the bot removes them from the channel or group. If they subscribe again, it re-approves them — no manual work from you.

Your storefront does the selling

Every product is sold through a public storefront with your own URL — grouptizer.com/YourStore — with your prices, buyer reviews and questions, and Stripe checkout. The bot handles the door; the storefront handles the sale.

It only manages the members it let in

You can connect a channel or group that already has people in it. Your existing members stay exactly as they are — the bot never audits or removes them. It only manages buyers who came in through a purchase, so your current community is never touched.

What happens when a payment fails

For recurring subscriptions, if a renewal charge fails the subscription goes past due and Stripe retries it automatically. If the retries also fail, access is revoked and the buyer is removed from Telegram — then re-approved the moment they pay again. One-off purchases have no renewal, so there is no failed-charge risk: access stays until you cancel it.

Buyers stay in the loop

Grouptizer notifies your buyers by email at every step — purchase confirmations, a trial about to end, failed payments, refunds — so you don't have to play support.

The bot doesn't read your messages

The bot is an admin only so it can approve and remove members. It runs with Telegram's privacy mode on and receives just two events — a join request, and changes to its own permissions. It never sees the posts in your channel or the conversations in your group.

Your money goes straight to your Stripe account

Grouptizer never processes or holds your money. The charge runs on your own Stripe account, you are the merchant of record, and Stripe pays out to your bank directly. The Grouptizer fee comes out of each sale automatically — you never pay it separately.

Sell it your way

One bot, every model you need:

  • Recurring subscriptions on any interval — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or custom.
  • One-off or lifetime access with a single payment.
  • Trial periods, and prices you can mark single-use per customer.
  • Bundle several channels and groups into one product — a single purchase unlocks them all.
  • Access codes to let people in without paying online.

Telegram subscription bot FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?
No. You add the bot to your group, connect Stripe, and set a price. No servers and no separate website.
Will it remove members I already have?
No. The bot only manages people who joined through a purchase. Anyone already in your channel when you connect it stays untouched.
What happens if a member's payment fails?
Stripe retries automatically. If it keeps failing, the bot removes the member when the subscription lapses and re-adds them the moment they pay again.
Can it read what I post in my channel?
No. The bot has privacy mode on and only receives join requests and permission changes — never your messages or files.
Can I sell one-time access instead of a subscription?
Yes. Sell recurring subscriptions, one-off or lifetime access, or mix both on the same product.
Does the money go to me or to Grouptizer?
To you. Buyers are charged on your own Stripe account and you are the merchant of record. Grouptizer takes a plan fee plus a small percentage per sale.
Is Grouptizer a Telegram membership bot?
Yes. Telegram subscription bot and Telegram membership bot are two names for the same tool: a bot that manages paid memberships to a private group or channel. Grouptizer covers the full membership cycle: checkout on your storefront, payment on your own Stripe account, automatic approval when someone subscribes and automatic removal when their membership ends.
