How do I sell digital products on Discord?
Updated
Discord does not take payments
Discord has no checkout for selling your own files, so you connect an outside selling platform to your server. A purchase then grants the paid role automatically and a cancellation removes it. Selling by hand in DMs works for three people and collapses after that.
Chat is also a poor shop: links scroll away and nobody can find last month’s file.
Use a platform that links to your roles
Connect a selling platform to your server so a purchase grants the paid role automatically, and cancelling removes it.
Whop is the common choice for this. Sellers connect their server, and members get access the moment they pay.
Give files a permanent home
Chat is a terrible shop. Links scroll away and nobody can find last month’s file.
A store gives each product a page you can pin. A Whop store app such as MKKT puts that catalogue next to the server your members already use.
Keep the free part free
A server where everything is behind a paywall stops growing. Keep enough open that new people have a reason to stay.
Sell the deeper thing, not the front door.
