Paid communities and premium bots are a growing business. The difficult part is payments: members pay, then someone must check, then grant access. A gateway removes the manual step.

The basic flow
- User asks the bot to buy access.
- Your bot creates a payment and sends the checkout link.
- The user pays.
- The gateway sends a signed confirmation to your server.
- Your bot grants access and tells the user.
Register the bot as a platform
ZurvaPay supports websites, mobile apps, Telegram bots, WhatsApp bots, Discord bots and desktop apps. Add your bot in the dashboard so payments are linked to the right platform.
Expiry and renewals
Store the end date for each member. Before it ends, send a renewal link. If payment does not arrive, remove access automatically.
Keep it safe
Never trust a user message that says "I paid". Only the signed confirmation counts. See the IPN guide.
Reduce support load
Add a command that lets users check their payment status by order ID.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a website?
No, a bot with a server endpoint is enough.
Can I run several bots?
Yes, add each one as a platform under your account.
How do I prevent double access?
Make your confirmation handler idempotent: process each order once.
