What is MemberPass?
A plain-English overview of the platform — who builds it, who uses it, what it does, and why it exists.
MemberPass is a membership-management platform for creators, businesses, and communities — built by Envigo Innovations, LLC. It lets you monetize private Telegram channels, groups, and supergroups (with Slack, Discord, and Viber on the roadmap) through subscription plans, access codes, and multi-gateway payments — no code required.
In one paragraph
You run a community or produce content that is worth paying for. MemberPass gives you a bot plus a web portal that sits in front of your private Telegram destinations, handles subscribe / renew / cancel flows, accepts payments through nine providers, automatically invites paying members, removes expired ones, and reports everything back to you through a single dashboard. Subscribers stay on Telegram where they're comfortable; you stay in control of your business.
Who it's for
Individual creators
Coaches, educators, podcasters, analysts, mentors — anyone with an audience who wants to charge for premium access.
Communities
Private clubs, niche subreddits, investing groups, support networks — any organisation that needs gated access with subscription billing.
Businesses & agencies
Small teams selling training material or content libraries. Agencies managing multiple creators at once (via Teams).
Anyone with a private channel
Already have a private Telegram channel or group? MemberPass is the fastest path from "private" to "paid private".
Who it's not for
The three concepts you'll use every day
Project
The container for one specific membership business. Holds plans, payment methods, resources, and members.
Plan
The pricing tier subscribers buy — $9.99 / month Premium, $99 lifetime, etc. Currency, billing cycle, trial rules, audience filters.
Resource
The thing a plan unlocks — a Telegram channel, private group, supergroup, or a manually-tracked digital good.
Once those three are set up and you've connected a bot, subscribers join via your bot deep-link or your portal page.
Why does MemberPass exist?
Running a paid community on Telegram used to mean cobbling together spreadsheets, manual invite-link management, and nagging reminders about unpaid renewals. It worked until the first hundred members; past that it broke.
MemberPass turns "running a paid community" into a repeatable, nearly-zero-touch operation — so creators focus on the content, not the bookkeeping.
Security and compliance
Data residency
All MemberPass data is processed and stored in our North Virginia, United States data centres. Fully compliant with GDPR (EU subscribers) and CCPA (California subscribers).
Account security
Two-factor authentication, passkeys, and Telegram-based recovery protect creator accounts.
Payment credentials
Provider API keys are stored encrypted. MemberPass never sees raw card numbers or crypto wallets — those live with the payment providers.
How the money flows
Subscribers pay you
Members pay through whichever payment provider they pick at checkout (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, and so on). The provider deposits funds directly into your account — MemberPass never holds your revenue.
You pay MemberPass
You pay for your chosen creator plan (Free, Starter, or Growth) on a monthly or annual cycle, plus per-transaction fees on the income you process. Transaction fees settle monthly or when you hit a usage threshold — see Transaction fees.
Payouts and refunds
Payouts to your bank and refunds to subscribers both happen at the payment-provider level. MemberPass reflects current status through the dashboard but never intermediates or holds funds.
Key takeaway: Your revenue never passes through MemberPass. We are a SaaS tool that automates the community, not a payment processor.
The MemberPass ecosystem
Creator dashboard
The web app where you build and run projects. Sign in at
app.memberpass.net (or your deployment's URL). Every setup task ends with
an action here.
Official MemberPass bot
@MemberPassAppBot — how you register and manage projects on the go. Distinct from your project bots; this one is shared across every creator.
Project bots
One Telegram bot per project, owned by you and created via @BotFather. Connect the API token once; from then on it handles every subscriber interaction. See Connect your bot.
Project portals
Each project gets an auto-generated public page at
my.memberpass.net/{your-handle}. Subscribers can browse plans, subscribe,
and manage memberships from the web — handy for audiences not yet on
Telegram.
