Gatepilot turns your Telegram channel into a paid subscription in minutes. Subscribers pay through your processor — card, crypto, or Stars — and get an auto-issued one-time invite. When they cancel, they're kicked cleanly. You keep the audience. You keep the revenue.
Create a bot with @BotFather, paste the token into Gatepilot, add the bot as admin of your private channel. Three minutes, one time.
Plug in CCBill, NOWPayments (crypto), Stripe, or accept Telegram Stars natively. Money flows to YOUR accounts. We never hold funds.
Your bot handles /subscribe flow, issues one-time invite links, and auto-kicks on expiry. You focus on creating; Gatepilot runs the gate.
Monthly, yearly, lifetime — with free-trial support and per-tier pricing in any currency.
When a sub lapses, the scheduler pulls the member from your channel on the next hour. No manual babysitting.
Failed renewals trigger a configurable grace window with reminder DMs before access is revoked.
Create percent or flat-dollar codes with redemption caps and expiry. Redeem with /redeem CODE.
Every subscriber has a personal referral deep-link. Convert a friend, get 7 days added to your sub.
Push announcements, manually add or remove members, see payments and audit trail — all inside Telegram.
Duplicate deliveries from CCBill, Stripe, or NOWPayments are dedup'd at the DB level. No double charges, no double grants.
Missing webhook secrets reject incoming requests instead of accepting forged ones. Your gate doesn't open by accident.
Runs on your infrastructure with your processor credentials. Export subscribers any time. No platform lock-in.
We're software, not a payment platform. Your subscribers pay your processor directly — Gatepilot just orchestrates the Telegram side. That means lower fees, no merchant-of-record risk, and a product that treats CCBill and crypto as first-class rails.
