Platform Introduction

The complete guide to MemberPass — launching, running, and growing subscription-based Telegram communities with automated member management.

Welcome. This is the home for everything you can do with MemberPass — from launching your first paid Telegram community in under an hour, to running it at scale with teams, custom roles, and nine payment providers.

MemberPass is a membership-as-a-service platform built by Envigo Innovations, LLC. It turns private Telegram channels, groups, and supergroups into subscription businesses — no code, no servers, no manual member management. Subscribers pay, the bot invites them, and if they stop paying it removes them. That's the whole product in one sentence; the rest of these docs cover how to make the most of it.

New here? The fastest way to get your bearings is the Quickstart Guide — it's a 10-minute, no-skip walk from "create an account" to "first paying subscriber". The conceptual tour lives at How MemberPass works.

What is MemberPass?

A plain-English overview — who builds it, who uses it, what it does, and why it exists. Read first if you're evaluating the platform.

Quickstart

Zero to first live plan in about 10 minutes. Nine numbered steps, each linking to deeper docs if you want more context.

How it works

The end-to-end flow — creator setup, subscriber signup, the money path, what the bot does automatically, and what you still handle manually.

FAQ

Common questions about billing, features, platforms, and edge cases.

Pick your path

MemberPass has two kinds of users — creators (the people running communities) and subscribers (their paying members). Almost every page in these docs is geared toward one of the two. Start with the path that matches you.

For Creators

Build and run a subscription business. Covers plans, projects, bot setup, payment methods, access codes, members, subscriptions, dashboard, and more.

For Subscribers

Subscribe to a creator's community, manage your membership, redeem access codes, and get help if something goes wrong.

Account & Security

Sign-in methods, two-factor auth, passkeys, recovery, and all your personal account settings.

Teams & Roles

Invite collaborators, define custom roles and groups, assign the right permissions. Growth plan and above.

Billing & Subscriptions

How MemberPass bills you, how transaction fees work, grace periods, and upgrade/downgrade mechanics.

Payment Methods

Nine supported providers — Stripe, PayPal, Skrill, CoinPayments, Paystack, Razorpay, CeyPay, Telegram Stars, and Access Codes.

Platform-level mechanics — bot setup, resource linking, admin commands, deep-linking, and how the webhook stays in sync.

Reference

Glossary, status codes, and cross-cutting troubleshooting when you need a quick lookup.

Developers & automation

REST API

The public API at api.memberpass.net/v1 — Sanctum tokens, idempotent mutations, OpenAPI 3.1 spec, and an agent-friendly error envelope.

Outbound Webhooks

Subscribe any HTTPS endpoint to the 71-event taxonomy. HMAC signing, 8-retry backoff over ~4 days, dead-letter replay.

MCP Server

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or ChatGPT Desktop to mcp.memberpass.net and drive your creator workflow via natural language.

Integrations

Zapier, n8n, Make, LangChain, and any OpenAPI-aware toolkit. Build your own in minutes against the hosted spec.

Common creator tasks

The setup journey in the order creators actually do it — plus the day-two tasks you return to once subscribers start flowing in.

Day-one tasks

Mirrors the Quickstart checklist — the sequence the dashboard's onboarding enforces.

1. Activate your creator subscription

Pick Free, Starter, or Growth. Add a payment method on file (required even on Free because per-transaction fees apply).

2. Create your first project

Name, handle, banner, description. Every field explained.

3. Add a resource

Start with a Manual resource — a welcome PDF, a Notion link, anything URL-addressable. Telegram destinations get linked later through the bot.

4. Set up a payment method

Configure Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, or any of the other six supported providers.

5. Add a subscription plan

Pricing tier, billing cycle, trial rules, eligibility filters. Link the resource from Step 3, then Sync Subscription Plans on the payment method so recurring billing works.

6. Connect your bot

BotFather → MemberPass token handshake. Done once per project. After the bot is live, loop back to Resources to attach your private Telegram channel, group, or supergroup.

7. Share your bot and portal

t.me/YourBotName plus my.memberpass.net/your-handle. Marketing links, QR codes, deep-link start parameters.

Day-two tasks

Generate access codes

Bulk-mint single-use codes for offline sales, giveaways, influencer gifts, or gated plans.

Read your dashboard

Period filters, compare-to windows, plan / status / provider slicing. The same numbers the Analytics API returns.

Supported platforms

Live and fully supported. Native bot integration, automated member management, nine payment methods including Telegram Stars.

Slack

Coming soon. Workspace membership and paid-channel management planned.

Discord

Coming soon. Role-gated channels and automated role assignment planned.

Viber

Coming soon. Community-focused integration planned.

See Platform roadmap for more.

When things go wrong

Troubleshooting

Common issues across both creator and subscriber paths — sign-in problems, bot not responding, payment failures, plan-sync errors, and more.

Subscriber troubleshooting

The subscriber-specific variant — can't access a group, payment failed, bot didn't add me, portal sign-in issues.
