Quickstart Guide

Open @MemberPassAppBot in Telegram and tap Start.

The bot sends you a signup link. Tap it, fill in your name, email, and a password (8+ characters, mix of upper/lower/numbers), and click Create Account.

Open the verification email and click the link. You're now signed in — and the dashboard's onboarding checklist marks Create an Account complete.

You'll land on the Plans & Billing page right after first sign-in. (Or open it yourself at /billing/plans.)

Click Subscribe to Free (or a paid tier if you'd rather go directly to a lower transaction-fee rate).

Complete the Stripe-hosted checkout — add a payment method. Even Free plans need a card on file because per-transaction fees apply regardless of tier.

From the dashboard, click + New Project (or Create New Project on the All Projects page).

Fill in:

• Platform — Telegram.
• Name — your brand / community name. 5+ characters.
• Handle (optional, Starter+) — URL slug for the portal, e.g. my-community.
• Description (optional) — greeting message for new bot users.

Click Save Changes.

From the project, open Project Resources and click Create New Resource.

Fill in:

• Title — e.g. "Welcome PDF" or "Onboarding Notion".
• Description — free-form text with basic HTML allowed. Paste the URL, voucher, or instructions you want subscribers to see.
• Active — toggle on.

Click Save Changes. The resource appears in the list — onboarding Step 4 is complete.

In the project, go to Payment Methods → Setup a Payment Method.

Pick Stripe. Select Live (or Test for sandbox experimentation).

Click Connect Stripe to MemberPass. You're redirected to Stripe's onboarding flow.

Sign in or create a Stripe account. Complete the required verification. Authorize MemberPass.

You're redirected back to MemberPass. Toggle the method Active if needed.

Go to Subscription Plans → Create New Subscription Plan.

Fill in:

• Plan Name — e.g. "Pro Monthly".
• Description — optional rich-text pitch.
• Linked Resources — tick the resource from Step 4.
• Currency — USD (or your preferred currency).
• Price — e.g. 9.99.
• Billing Cycle — Monthly, count 1.
• Recurring — On.

Toggle Active, click Create Subscription Plan.

On the Payment Methods page, open Stripe's options menu (⋯) and choose Sync Subscription Plans. MemberPass pushes your plan to Stripe as a product + price so recurring billing works.

In Telegram, open @BotFather and send /newbot.

Follow BotFather's prompts to name your bot and pick a @username ending in bot.

Back in MemberPass: open your project, click Actions → Connect Bot, paste the token, click Activate Bot.

(Optional, now that the bot is connected) Return to Project Resources and add the Telegram channel, group, or supergroup you actually want to monetize — either through Send Request to Bot or by adding the bot as admin directly. See Resources → Linking a Telegram destination.

Make sure Access Codes is enabled as a payment method: Payment Methods → toggle Access Codes on. No credentials required.

Pick the subscription plan from Step 6, set a quantity (up to 1,000 per batch), choose an expiry, tick consent, and click Generate Codes. The bot DMs you the codes once they're ready.

Copy your bot's URL from the project's Bot Connection section (it looks like t.me/YourBotName).

Share it in your existing audience channels — social media bios, newsletters, podcast show notes, your existing Telegram channel.

Test the flow yourself: open the bot in an incognito browser or a second Telegram account, tap Start, pick your plan, and complete the Stripe checkout (use a Stripe test card if you're in Test mode). On success the bot sends you invite links — tap Join to see what new subscribers see.

Add it to your website, link-in-bio, email signature, or marketing materials alongside the bot link.
