BotSubscription Updates

March 10, 2026

Paddle Integration
Reach global audiences effortlessly! We've added support for Paddle to handle global payments, tax compliance, and recurring billing out-of-the-box.

Admin Billing Notifications
Project admins now receive clear, instant notifications the moment a BotSubscription invoice is issued. Stay on top of your project's billing with automated alerts delivered directly to your dashboard.

Enhanced Billing Precision
We've further refined our billing engine to provide absolute synchronization across all project states. This overhaul ensures even more robust handling of renewals and edge cases during project suspensions or reactivation gaps.

Smarter Notifications
Renewal reminder timing has been fine-tuned to be clearer and more accurate. Plus, notification language handling has been significantly enhanced for global communities.

Rock-Solid Platform Reliability
Dramatically improved logic for project suspensions and reactivations—especially in tricky scenarios like when the Discord bot leaves and rejoins a server. Background job lifecycles and membership reactivations are now more resilient to edge-case failures.

Advanced Merchant Accounts
Introduced support for complex merchant account configuration rules alongside smarter payment-provider capability handling during setups and renewals. Plus, our improved UX prevents frustrating duplicate "double-click" actions.

Targets Management
Added pagination support for targets, ensuring snappy performance for massive communities. Bulk updates strictly prevent empty submissions, plus enhanced UI accessibility.

Stricter Permissions & Protections
We've bolted down our security: transferring projects will now automatically invalidate past API keys. Plus, rigorous protections against destructive project mistakes, locked-down token behaviors, and tightened permission gating globally across admins.

Membership Expiration Reminders
Members now receive automated reminders before their subscription expires, giving them time to renew and reducing involuntary churn.

Automatic Usage-Report PDFs
Every bill to BotSubscription now includes an automatically generated usage-report PDF, making accounting and record-keeping effortless.

Production-First Onboarding
The default install environment for new merchant accounts is now production, so you can start accepting payments right away without switching environments manually.

Payment Polling & Reconciliation
Improved payment polling and reconciliation logic for more reliable subscription activations and fewer missed payments.

Auto-Settlement
Outstanding invoices are now settled automatically when a payment method is saved, reducing manual follow-ups and ensuring smoother billing cycles.

Permissions Simplification
Consolidated settings permissions into fewer, clearer options—without losing precision control over who can do what.

Cleaner Cancellation Notifications
Subscription cancellation notifications now render as a clean, formatted message instead of raw JSON.

API Robustness
Empty JSON bodies are now accepted safely, and error payloads have been standardized across all API handlers for more predictable integrations.

More Payment Options
Added support for Razorpay, Paystack, and Binance Pay. Expand your payment acceptance with these new providers.

More Reliable Payments
Introduced a fallback payment polling system to ensure subscriptions are activated even if webhooks are delayed or misconfigured.

Smarter PayPal Handling
The system now automatically detects if a PayPal merchant account lacks vaulting support. It gracefully falls back to non-vault flows and caches this capability to prevent future failures.

Automatic Project Suspension
Projects are now automatically suspended if the bot is removed from the server, ensuring your dashboard reflects the true status of your community.

Cleaner Setup
Reduced the number of default channels created during setup (such as #subscribe and #support) to minimize clutter in your server.

Enhanced AI & Support Flows
Improved AI-related UI flows and action-button handling. AI features are now more clearly gated and controlled, reducing confusing states for users.

Subscription Stability
Fixed edge cases regarding subscription classification (internal vs. provider-backed) and improved the reliability of subscription cancellations.

January 21, 2026

Accept Payments via Revolut
You can now connect Revolut as a payment provider. Members pay through Revolut's secure checkout, and you receive funds directly to your Revolut business account.

API Keys for Custom Integrations
Building your own tools or connecting third-party services? You can now create and manage API keys directly from your dashboard. Generate keys, view active keys, regenerate them if needed, and revoke access instantly.

Custom Posts
Create polished posts with clickable buttons that link to your subscription page, website, or any URL. Write your message, add buttons, and post directly to any channel—no coding required. Available for Custom Bots.

Automated AI Support
Turn your bot into a 24/7 support agent. Create a Knowledge Base with your FAQs and let the AI handle member questions, check statuses, and explain plans instantly.

Choose Where Welcome Messages Appear
Welcome messages can now be sent to a specific channel you choose, instead of defaulting to the system channel. Keep your onboarding organized and visible where it matters most.

Smoother Checkout Experience
We've redesigned the subscribe flow to make payments clearer. Members now see a better payment method selector, a summary of what they're subscribing to, and helpful prompts if they need assistance.

Smarter Welcome Message Delivery
When many members join at once, welcome messages are now queued intelligently to prevent spam and ensure every new member receives their greeting without delays or duplicates.

Automatic Plan Selection
When you create a new project with only one subscription plan, that plan is now selected automatically. One less step to get started.

More Reliable Support Tickets
Support ticket threads are now cleaned up automatically when resolved, and thread handling is more reliable overall—fewer stuck or orphaned tickets.
