BotGG 1.5.2: Memberships paid into your own PayPal or crypto, with 0% fee

This release is about getting paid. Memberships (paid roles) now sends every payment straight to the server owner, and you can pay for BotGG plans with crypto.

Memberships: your money, your account

• Your own PayPal, 0% fee. Server owners connect their own PayPal account in Memberships → Payments and members pay them directly. BotGG takes no commission, never holds the money and has nothing to pay out: PayPal only charges its usual fee. Test everything in sandbox first, then switch to live. Learn more
• Crypto through NOWPayments. Connect your own NOWPayments account as well (or instead) and members can pay in crypto, choosing the coin on the payment page; the price is converted at the current rate. A crypto payment buys one month, one year or lifetime and never renews by itself, so members get a DM with a renew link 3 days and 1 day before their period ends, and paying early adds the new period after the current one. Roles are given only once a payment is fully paid; a partial payment shows what's missing, and a refunded or unusual payment is flagged for you to revoke or keep access instead of being changed automatically. Free trials aren't available with crypto.
• Pick the method at checkout. Offer PayPal, crypto or both; when both can sell a tier, the member chooses. The checkout shows your seller details, not BotGG's.
• Free and Pro. Memberships works on every plan. Free: up to 3 monthly tiers, with "Powered by BotGG" under the checkout. Pro: up to 25 tiers, yearly and lifetime tiers, free trials and a checkout without BotGG branding.
• Sales history with CSV. Every payment, refund and dispute from your accounts in one list, with a date range, currency and type filters, totals per currency and a CSV export for your bookkeeping.
• Members' data export. Under My memberships in the console, members see their memberships, cancel PayPal ones, renew crypto periods and can download all their Memberships data as a file.
• Sales are open. The Memberships Seller and Buyer Terms are published (see below), so members can check out now: connect your account, set up tiers and start selling.

BotGG plans: pay with crypto

• Crypto at checkout. Pro, Pro + Custom Bot, Network, Custom Bot and TopGuilds PRO can now be paid with crypto through NOWPayments, next to PayPal. A crypto payment buys a prepaid month or year at the usual USD price and doesn't renew automatically: we remind you 7 days and 1 day before it ends (by DM and in the console), renewing adds the new period after the current one, and when a period ends the server simply goes back to Free — nothing is deleted. The plan starts once the payment is complete. Pricing
• Billing page. Crypto plans show "Paid through", a Renew with crypto button, receipts with the USD price and the crypto paid, and any payment still in progress with what's missing.

Improvements

• Server Doctor warns when Memberships can't take payments: no payment account offered at checkout, keys a provider rejected, webhook or IPN address missing, crypto payments waiting for review, or an account still in sandbox.
• Flows: the Memberships triggers also fire for crypto payments and for crypto periods that end.

Legal

Memberships sales are open now. The Memberships documents are published, together with the updates for paying for BotGG plans with crypto:

• Memberships Seller Terms 2.0 (new): what server owners accept before connecting PayPal or NOWPayments and selling roles. You are the seller and receive the money in your own account; BotGG provides the software and takes no commission.
• Memberships Buyer Terms 1.0 (new): what members accept at checkout: who the seller is, PayPal subscriptions and prepaid crypto periods, and that refunds come from the server owner.
• Terms of Service 1.6: how prepaid crypto periods for BotGG plans work (no automatic renewal, price in USD at the rate when you pay, when the plan starts).
• Refund & Cancellation Policy 1.2: how crypto payments for plans are refunded, and a new section on Memberships: BotGG doesn't refund them, the server owner does.
• Privacy Policy 1.13: what we keep about crypto payments (payment ID, coin and amounts — BotGG never holds a wallet) and about Memberships (the owner's payment credentials, stored encrypted, and buyers' purchases), where the server owner is the seller and the controller.
• Data Processing Addendum 1.5: Memberships data and the encryption of the owner's payment credentials.
• Sub-processors 1.5: NOWPayments as the crypto payment processor for BotGG plans and for Memberships paid into the server owner's own account.
