RUNNING A PAID TELEGRAM GROUP MANUALLY IS A FULL-TIME JOB

You're DMing people for payment screenshots. Copying invite links one at a time. Keeping a mental note of who paid this month and who didn't. When someone's access expires, you're the one who has to catch it and remove them. Half the time you don't — and now half your group hasn't paid in weeks.

A Telegram membership bot exists to handle all of this automatically. But most bots are complex, unreliable, or require a server to run. You shouldn't need a developer to charge for a group chat.

PAPRIKA IS THE MEMBERSHIP BOT. PLUG IN, SET A PRICE, WALK AWAY.

Creator overwhelmed with manual Telegram group management, DMs, and spreadsheets

SET UP IN FOUR STEPS

From free group to paid membership. Under 10 minutes.

ADD PAPRIKA TO YOUR GROUP

Make Paprika admin in your private Telegram group. One tap, 30 seconds. Give it invite-link and ban rights — that's what lets it add paying fans and remove expired ones.

SET YOUR MEMBERSHIP PRICE

Open the Paprika dashboard, name your price. $5/mo, $50/mo, $500/mo — your call. Pick 30-day rolling access or lifetime. No platform decides your rate.

SHARE YOUR JOIN LINK

Paprika generates a page with your group description, price, and a pay button. Drop it in your free group, bio, tweets — anywhere your audience lives.

PAPRIKA HANDLES THE REST

Fan pays. Gets added instantly. Stops paying. Gets removed automatically. You just show up and post. The membership bot runs while you sleep.

EVERYTHING YOUR PAID GROUP NEEDS

✦

AUTOMATIC MEMBER MANAGEMENT

Paying fans get added the moment payment clears. Expired members get removed without you lifting a finger. No lists, no reminders, no chasing people for money.

✦

STRIPE OR MANUAL PAYMENTS

Gateway mode: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay via Stripe — instant access. Manual mode: fans send payment proof, you approve. Works with crypto, bank transfers, PayPal, anything.

✦

ZERO COMMISSION ON EVERY PAYMENT

Flat monthly plan. Your fans pay you, not Paprika. 150 members at $20/mo is $3,000/mo — not $2,640 after someone skims 12% off the top.

✦

WORKS FOR GROUPS AND CHANNELS

Same bot works for private groups (chat-based) and broadcast channels. Run both. Different prices, different formats, one dashboard to manage everything.

✦

PROOF REVIEW IN TELEGRAM

Manual payment proofs land as Telegram cards. Approve or reject with one tap. Your entire admin workflow lives inside the app — no separate dashboard to babysit.

QUESTIONS

A Telegram membership bot automates paid access to a private group or channel. When someone pays, the bot adds them. When their time is up, the bot removes them — no manual work. Paprika is a Telegram membership bot plus a payment page, dashboard, and full access manager.

Yes. Paprika works for private groups (where fans can chat with each other) and broadcast channels (where only you post). Groups and channels have different vibes — pick the format that fits your content. Same setup, same bot.

Stripe gateway mode accepts cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — fans get instant access on payment. Manual mode lets fans send proof (screenshot, receipt), and you approve them. Manual mode works with crypto, bank transfers, cash app, or literally anything else.

Paprika removes them automatically. Your group stays paid. You won't need to check — there's no action required from you at all. Expired means out, immediately.

None. Add Paprika to your group as admin, open the dashboard, set a price. That's the full setup. No server, no code, no developer needed. Most creators are live in under 10 minutes.
