Hide and show your special offers with just a few clicks

You can now disable a subnoscription 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 subnoscriptions only. If there's a recurring subnoscription (created with Stripe, for example), it won't be canceled automatically.

Semi-Automated Payments with Access Codes Are Now Available

With Access Codes you can accept payments in a semi-automated way.

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

To get started with Access Codes, start your free 14-day trial.

Recent updates from InviteMember

You can now broadcast messages of all types: photos, gifs, stickers, audios, voice notes, videos, video notes, documents, locations, etc. (Project > Telegram bot > Broadcast).

Your bot is now showing invite links in the same message ("Join channel/group" button is replaced with invite link for 3 seconds). A customer should simply double-click the button to get inside.

We've implemented a new algorithm for showing invite links. It's more user-friendly but less secure (no more errors like "the invite link is invalid or expired"). If you wish to try it out, please contact @InviteMemberSupportBot.

Your bot is now asking for email when someone is starting his free no-CC trial.

If you've enabled no-cc free trial for a subnoscription plan, your bot will show it as the only payment option to the new users (to avoid confusion).
Banning users in your membership bot

If someone behaves badly, you can now ban that person in just a few seconds.

Just open your membership bot and type:
/ban XXX

Where XXX — Telegram userId (you can find it in Telegram Bot > List users or in @userinfobot).

To unban, use:
/unban XXX

Stripe Integration Updated

On 14 September 2019, new requirements for authenticating online payments will be introduced in Europe as part of the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2).

Your business is affected if all of the following apply:
🇪🇺 Your business is based in the European Economic Area (EEA);
🇪🇺 You serve customers in the EEA;
💳 You accept cards (credit or debit).

In order to comply with PSD2, we updated our Stripe integration to support SCA (Strong Customer Authentication). Starting today, we're using the newest Stripe Checkout for all payments & subnoscriptions created with InviteMember.

Stripe Checkout is a smart and responsive payment page that has Dynamic 3D Secure support (SCA-ready) and already localized in 14 languages.

Your membership bots are already updated. To reduce failed payments, we highly recommend enabling automated emails in "Manage payments that require 3D Secure" section of Billing Settings page in Stripe Dashboard. You can also customize your logo and color on Branding page, it will affect your Stripe Checkout page look and feel.

Live Demo of Stripe Checkout integration:
1. Launch @YogaMemberBot;
2. Click Monthly or Yearly;
3. Click Credit/Debit Card;
4. Open payment link;
5. Use 4000 0027 6000 3184 virtual card for SCA test (other card numbers are available here).
