Weekly updates from InviteMember

βœ… Users from πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή Portugal can now accept payments in cash through Multibanco. Local payment methods like Multibanco are available upon a request, please tell us if you're interested;
βœ… We published a new article, this one is the most popular in our blog so far: Telegram vs Slack, What’s best for your online community?
βœ… We launched on botlist.co, popular chatbot catalog.

Next week a major update is coming, stay tuned and have a great weekend!
InviteMember introduces CoinPayments integration

With CoinPayments integration you can accept payments in Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Ethereum and many other cryptocurrencies from customers anywhere in the world.

CoinPayments fees are very low β€” only 0.50% + coin TX fee. You can either receive funds to your CoinPayments Wallet or set up ASAP/Nightly forwarding to your external address.

To get started:
1. Create CoinPayments Account. For additional security, we highly recommend setting up 2FA with Google Authenticator or Authy.
2. Add CoinPayments in @InviteMemberBot (Project β€” Payment options).
3. Check your membership bot β€” now it should allow users to pay in the coins that you enabled in your CoinPayments dashboard.

CoinPayments integration is available for all InviteMember subscribers (Standard plan, $29/month with 14-day free trial). Start your free trial.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us: @InviteMemberSupportBot.
Weekly updates from InviteMember

βœ… We're now integrated with CoinPayments and you can start accepting payments in cryptocurrencies.
βœ… Now you can create lifetime subscription plans, not only recurring ones. Just create a new plan and select "lifetime" as plan period.
βœ… Now you can create subscription plans with price in Bitcoins.
βœ… Client subscriptions are now canceled at the end of the current period, not immediately. The access is revoked only when the period is over and the subscription is finally canceled. Until that, you can reactivate subscription manually from Stripe Dashboard.
βœ… Membership bots are now showing info about trial periods (however, these trial periods are available only for Stripe recurring subscriptions).
βœ… Minor bug fixes and UI improvements.

Have a great weekend!
Weekly updates from InviteMember

This week has started with the launch of our new side project: tele.ws (ProductHunt).

tele.ws (think of TELEgram WebSite) is a very simple landing page generator, designed for Telegram-based projects of many kinds (channels, groups, and bots).

As an alternative to t.me, it provides you with some cool extra features:
πŸ“ Tagline, large description
πŸ†’ Multiple buttons for all your channels, groups and bots
🎨 Color themes
🧠 Short address (tele.ws/...)
πŸ” SEO settings (coming soon)

If you don't yet have a website for your subscription/membership business in Telegram β€” you should probably try building one with tele.ws. It's both super-easy and free. Please let us know if you have any questions or miss any features: @TeleWsSupportBot.

Here are the most interesting updates of the rest part of the week:

βœ… Invite links rotation: to make it really complicated (almost impossible) to pass an invite link to a someone else, links are now shown for a very small time interval (around 1.5-2 secs) and revoked automatically after that.
βœ… Users, who have already joined your private channels and groups are not allowed to request invite links anymore (they don't need them).
βœ… When a user clicks to a "Cancel subscription" button now he's asked for a confirmation.

Have a great weekend!
Weekly updates from InviteMember

βœ…
You can now edit your subscription plan benefits (add/remove what channels/groups are included).
βœ… Existing subscriptions are now independent of plan updates (even if a plan was deleted, existing customers will keep the access to the benefits they paid for).
βœ… You can now see the names of the Multibanco customers in Stripe Dashboard.

Have a great weekend!

Weekly updates from InviteMember

Here are some fresh updates of this week:

βœ… Now you can create plans for newcomers only (who've never paid you in the past). To do that, create a new subscription plan as usual and enable "Newcomers only: ON" in the plan settings.

βœ… Now you can create non-recurring plans. For example, you can sell 1-day access (single payment, non-recurring). To do that, create a plan and set "Recurring: OFF" in the plan settings.

βœ… Your membership bot built with InviteMember can now understand Plans and Status commands sent by simple text. First one will show subscription plan list, the second one will show current subscription status as well as Join Channel/Group buttons if a user has access to something.

βœ… Your new membership bot users will see Plans and Status buttons at the bottom of the chat with the bot. Existing users can send /start, and these buttons will appear automatically.

βœ… "User X has just launched your bot" notifications are now coming from your membership bot with an active link to new user's profile. Open private chat with the new lead instantly!

Have a great weekend!

Free Trial Without Credit Card

We've just rolled out a very cool update. Now you can set up a trial period that doesn't require a credit card!

Such trials can be used not only with Stripe but with Multibanco and CoinPayments as well. Please note that free trial can only be used once and it's not available for users that made any payments or had any subscriptions in the past. So trial periods are "newcomers only" by design.

How to use: Free Trial Without Credit Card (article from InviteMember Help Center).
Access Codes β€” Accept Payments In A Semi-Automated Way

We're about to release a new feature that will allow you to accept payments in a semi-automated way. This feature is designed for users, who can't use automated payment methods like Stripe or CoinPayments.

Here is how it works:
1. Accept a payment manually (p2p bank transfer, cash, whatever).
2. Generate an Access Code in InviteMember and send it to your customer.
3. Your customer will use this code in your membership bot to activate his subscription.

With Access Codes the payment processing part is done manually, while membership management part is automated. Your customers will receive renewal reminders and will be kicked when the subscription period is over.

Access Codes feature is in private beta at the moment, if you wish to try it β€” please, request an invite.

Hide and show your special offers with just a few clicks

You can now disable a subscription plan to hide it from your membership bot users. In the future, you can re-enable the plan to make it visible again.

These changes will affect new payments and subscriptions only. If there's a recurring subscription (created with Stripe, for example), it won't be canceled automatically.
