DRAFT status is only for unpaid invoices. ACTIVE is the status of invoices that are unpaid but have a trial associated with them. You can search into future dates to see people on trial.

Stripe transactions can only be viewed from the STRIPE dashboard (https://dashboard.stripe.com/) The Upgrade.Chat Control-Panel only shows PayPal transactions since STRIPE has a comepletely robust reporting dashboard, there was no reason for us to reinvent the wheel when you can see everything in STRIPE.

Yes, they will automatically be billed if you set the role as a subscription and then save the role for sale. However, if you have other settings enabled that change this, then it will not be automatic.
No. They are two different account types and two different processors. Since the payment was made directly to that account type, the only way to switch this would be to have the user downgrade and then upgrade again with the new payment method.
The Free Way: You can offer each subscription you already have to Upgrade via Upgrade.Chat and offer them a coupon to switch over the services. (The coupon should be enough to cover the amount of time they have left on their subscription) The Quick Way: We offer a migration service for a minimum of 250 users which can be purchased here: https://upgrade.chat/upgrade
The $TransferUpgrade command is only valid if your subscriptions are already with Upgrade.Chat and you want to move the subscription to another user.

In your discord server type: $upgrade and generate a checkout link. The link will look like this: https://upgrade.chat/checkout/544238107957133352 <- The last part is your serverID number.
Because all checkout links are now server dependent instead of user dependent, you can use these links anywhere and people can purchase a role from anywhere; Your Website, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Email, Message Boards, Other Chat Services... Pretty much anywhere that you can think of.
Users will be invited to your room and given the role after checkout.
You control access to the channels, you can prevent the bot from speaking in certain channels by removing admin privileges from the bot but allow it to send messages, links, add, remove, ban, and send embeds, then prevent it from talking / seeing the channel that you don't want it to talk in. This involves you setting Discord perms. We do not guarantee that the bot will function correctly since we add new features all the time that may require different permissions.
Roles are ordered from HIGHEST PRICE TO LOWEST PRICE. This cannot be changed.
Each role purchased is a new product / subscription. Therefore, no matter what role someone purchases, they are not able to increase the length of time on an existing subscription.
$1.00 USD. (Payment Processors wont allow below this so we set it as our default)
YES.
Since we use the latest checkout from PayPal and Stripe, all payment method types are 3D secured upon checkout. https://stripe.com/docs/payments/3d-secure https://www.paypal.com/hk/webapps/mpp/3dsecure-faqs
If the bot is offline, please check https://status.discordapp.com/ and https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ before contacting support. If Discord is having issues, there is nothing we can do. The bot will try to give the role again the following day.
No it will not. "Grandfathered" members will keep the same rate they have been paying. Only new members and subscriptions will be affected by a price change.
To change price for existing subscriptions already in effect, please edit the customer directly in stripe. (This is not recommended). https://dashboard.stripe.com/subscriptions Edit the subscription and add a coupon as you see fit.
PayPal must cancel and resubscribe to change the price.

Yes! Please upgrade to Upgrade.Chat Pro:
PEOPLE CANNOT BE INVITED TO THE UPGRADE.CHAT SUPPORT SERVER UNLESS THEY ALREADY WERE GIVEN AN INVITE TO YOUR SERVER. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE OTHERWISE.
REASONS A USER WAS NOT INVITED TO YOUR SERVER AFTER CHECKOUT:
Your bot doesn't have proper permissions. Please read this entire FAQ.
Their payment failed or their payment method declined.
They ignored or did not accept the invite to your server.
The user is banned from your server or already in your server.
The user has not validated / verified their email on their account yet.
There can be several reasons for this:
The user was not the same user logged into the browser when the role was purchased. (Check your Dashboards account and make sure the username matches the user that upgraded) A lot of people have alternate accounts.
The bot does not have the proper permissions to give the role or the role for sale is above Upgrade.Chat
The bot was not online at the time. Stripe was down or Discord was down.
When you refund a member the following things will happen:
They will not lose their role unless you cancel their subscription.
They will be billed again next cycle unless you cancel the subscription.
If you cancel their subscription and they purchased a duplicate role, the role WILL be removed regardless if they have an active subscription. Manually reassign the role to fix this.
No. Currently the only currency is USD... BUT the transaction will automatically be converted to whatever currency your account is set in at the time of purchase.
Upgrade.Chat only charges 6% and offers many features. Patreon charges 12% and has less than half the features. OnlyFans charge 20% and has less than half the features.
