The buyer has a page for completing payment and managing their subscription.
Current scope
LaunchPass supports Telegram, Discord and Slack. Comminari connects Telegram groups and channels.
Connect private Telegram groups and channels and use Stripe for payments. Stripe can include cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfers and other methods depending on country and settings.
Sell memberships for Telegram, Discord and Slack from the same platform. It uses Stripe for payments in paid communities.
Daily operation
Selling is only the beginning. You then need to understand what happens to every member, payment, access change and issue needing attention.
Comminari brings together groups, plans, discounts, payments, members and activity. Each charge is connected to a Telegram user, without rebuilding operations from messages or a separate spreadsheet.
The member opens the public page, identifies with Telegram, chooses a plan and pays. They can then manage the subscription or recover access from the same page.
Configure alerts for payments, access, subscription events and issues, so the dashboard is not the only place to learn what matters.
LaunchPass also offers a dashboard, an offer page and a member portal. Both platforms aim to reduce manual work; Comminari organizes that operation around Telegram and a single web administration area.
