Gatepilot runs inside Telegram. You don't build a custom site; you don't rely on a third-party checkout. Your subscribers talk to your bot, pay through your processor, and join your channel — all in one flow.
Every creator gets their own Telegram bot — that's the door subscribers knock on. Open Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot, pick a display name and handle, and BotFather gives you a token. That token is the ONE piece you paste into Gatepilot.
Create (or pick) the Telegram channel you want to gate. Add your new bot as an admin with permission to invite members and remove them. Gatepilot needs those two rights — and only those two — to run the subscription lifecycle.
Connect the processors you want subscribers to pay with. Each one's credentials live in your Gatepilot account — they authorize us to read webhooks, nothing more. Money flows from subscriber → processor → your bank. Gatepilot never holds funds.
Monthly, yearly, lifetime — or all three. Add descriptions, set a trial window if you want, and price each tier in USD (or your preferred currency). You can edit prices any time without disrupting existing subscribers.
Your bot handle (t.me/your_bot) is the single URL you share everywhere — bio, other socials, Linktree, wherever your audience lives. Subscribers open it, hit /start, pick a tier, pay, and they're in.
From the moment a payment clears, automation takes over. One-time invite link issued. Expiry tracked. Renewal reminders sent 48 hours before. Failed renewal? Grace period, then auto-kick. Cancellation? Retain access until the paid period ends, then kick. Everything logged to an audit trail you can export any time.
Note that Gatepilot never sits in the money path. It orchestrates, verifies, and acts — but funds move directly between the subscriber and your processor, settled to your bank.
The demo bot is live. Kick the tires, then email us for your own account.
