Key rules you should know up front
You can enable many providers per project. Subscribers see each provider as an option at checkout — the more you enable, the more likely they find one they trust.
Recurring vs. one-time. Only Stripe, PayPal, Paystack, and Razorpay support automatic recurring billing. Skrill, CoinPayments, CeyPay, Telegram Stars, and Access Codes are one-time only. If you need recurring, pick one of the first four.
The portal vs. the bot. The web portal supports every provider except Telegram Stars (processed natively by Telegram) and Access Codes (has its own dedicated Use Access Code button). The bot supports all nine. Tailor your sharing strategy accordingly.
