Channel Paywalls

Gate any private Telegram channel or group with a crypto subscription. Set a price, share one link, and Cloakd handles the rest.

What is a paywall?

A paywall lets you charge for access to a private Telegram channel or group. When someone pays, the bot sends them a join link automatically. When their subscription expires, they are removed automatically. You do not need to manage any of this by hand.

How it works in 3 steps

1

Set up your paywall

Open the Cloakd bot and type /paywall. Follow the wizard to set your price, choose which coin you want to receive, and pick an access type.

2

Share your link

The bot generates a unique subscribe link for your channel. Share it in your bio, a pinned post, or anywhere your audience is.

3

Cloakd does the rest

Payment confirmed → join link sent. Subscription expiring → reminder sent. Renewal missed → member removed. All automatic.

Requirements

  • Your Telegram channel or group must be private. Paywalls do not work on public channels.
  • You need admin rights in the channel or group to add the Cloakd bot.
  • The Cloakd bot must be added as an admin with Invite Users and Ban Members permissions.
  • You need a crypto wallet address to receive settlement payments.
