KickThemBot is a Telegram subscription bot for paid private groups and channels. Members subscribe by card on Stripe's checkout page into your own Stripe account and renew on their own, and the bot removes them when a subscription is cancelled or goes unpaid, with six hours of grace for a late renewal. Plans run from free to $49 a month, priced by active members.
Every plan should create a clear access window. When that window ends, the system should know whether to renew, remind, extend, cancel, or remove the member.
Subscription revenue is protected by useful reminders before access ends, not by panicked manual messages after members have already churned.
When a member asks about access, admins need status, plan, expiry, source, and access outcome in one place.
Every paid membership in KickThemBot follows the same path: a payment, the member's Telegram account, a visible status and removal when access ends.
A Stripe checkout on your own account, or an access code you send after a crypto, invoice or partner sale, starts the membership.
The membership belongs to the Telegram account that paid or redeemed the code, and the bot approves a join only for that account.
In the Mini App, admins search members, see each plan, status, end date and source, and extend or remove access.
Reminders go out before the end date, subscriptions get a short renewal grace, and the bot removes members when access ends.
No. A hosted membership bot is meant to remove the need to build payment, invite, expiry, and support flows yourself. With KickThemBot you create a bot in @BotFather, paste its token into @KickThemBot, and make @KickThemBot an admin of your chat with two rights: Invite users via link and Ban users. An AI agent can do most of the setup for you through the owner API.
Yes, but only when it is an admin there with the right permissions. KickThemBot needs Invite users via link and Ban users in every chat you connect, and checks them every five minutes. If one goes missing, it stops selling plans that include that chat and tells you right away, and removals it could not make run once you restore the rights. Always test permissions before launch.
The membership record should move to an expired or inactive state, reminders should stop or change, and Telegram access should be removed if the bot has the right permissions.
