Sell access to your Discord server

Want to charge for your Discord server and get paid in crypto? Soca gates a Discord role behind a subscription: anyone who subscribes gets the role automatically, and anyone who cancels loses it automatically — billed in USDC on Solana, renewing on its own. There is no bot to build, no token to copy, and no code. Think of it as the crypto-native version of what Whop or MEE6 do for paid Discord communities.

What the role gates

You choose a role; assigning it is what unlocks the channels, categories, and perks behind it, and removing it locks them again. Each connection maps to exactly one plan: *while* a member holds an active subscription to that plan, *they* hold the role. Run several tiers by pointing each plan at its own role.

How members pay

Access is sold as an ordinary Soca subscription: recurring USDC on Solana, renewing automatically, with gas sponsored so the customer never needs SOL. Members who check out with a Soca account save 1% on every payment, and you still receive the same amount — Soca covers that discount out of its own fee, never yours (see pricing). You keep custody the whole time; each payment settles straight to your wallet.

Set it up (one click)

1. 1

   Create the plan

   If you have not already, create the subscription plan membership will be sold under. Its checkout link is what you share with prospective members.

2. 2

   Add Soca to Discord

   In Dashboard → Settings → Integrations, open Discord and click Add Soca to Discord. Choose your server on Discord’s own screen and authorize. There is no application to register and no bot token — you are inviting Soca’s shared bot, which asks only for permission to manage roles.

3. 3

   Pick the role and plan

   Back in the dashboard, choose the role subscribers should receive (from a dropdown of your server’s roles) and the plan that grants it, then Save.

4. 4

   Keep the granted role below Soca’s role

   Discord only lets a bot manage roles positioned below its own. Soca’s role is placed high when you add it, so most roles work out of the box; if a grant ever fails, drag the granted role lower in Server Settings → Roles.

5. 5

   Share your checkout link

   Post the plan’s checkout link wherever your audience is — your server’s welcome channel, a pinned message, your bio. Everything after payment is automatic.

What your members experience

1. 1

   Subscribe

   They pay through your plan’s hosted checkout like any other subscription — with Google, email, or their own wallet. Nothing to install.

2. 2

   Connect Discord

   Right after paying (or later from their Soca account) they tap Connect Discord and authorize with the identify scope only — Soca reads their Discord user id and nothing else.

3. 3

   Connect the wallet they paid with

   They connect the same wallet the subscription is paid from. That is what proves the person in your server is the person who subscribed — nobody types or pastes an ID.

4. 4

   The role is assigned

   Soca adds the configured role automatically, and renewals keep it in place with nothing more for them or you to do.

When a subscription ends

The role is removed automatically when a member cancels, revokes their payment authorization, or exhausts failed-payment recovery. One important nuance: during failed-payment recovery, members keep the role while automatic retries run, so a briefly-late renewal never strips a good member — the role is only pulled once the subscription is genuinely over.

Monitor who has access

Dashboard → Access is the control room. It lists your connected server, its gating plan, and every member’s wallet, Discord identity, and current state:

Access reconciles automatically every minute, and a Sync now button forces a pass immediately. If a paying member stays pending after a sync, the usual cause is role order — make sure the granted role sits below Soca’s. The technical guide covers the exact checks.
