Introduction
Welcome to the Arcalotl documentation. Learn how to monetize your Discord and Stoat community with native subscriptions, automated revenue recovery, and retention tools.
Arcalotl is a subscription and payment platform built natively for community platforms like Discord and Stoat. It handles the full subscription lifecycle, from checkout to dunning to cancellation saves, without ever sending your members to an external page.
What Arcalotl does
- Subscriptions: Create plans that map to roles. Members subscribe with a slash command and checkout through Stripe.
- Revenue Recovery: When a payment fails, Arcalotl starts a dunning sequence via DM to recover it automatically.
- Cancellation Saves: When a member cancels, Arcalotl presents a dynamic offer based on why they're leaving.
- Term Optimization: Engaged monthly subscribers get offered annual plans at a discount, locking in revenue.
How it works
- Connect your Stripe account with
/setup - Create subscription plans with
/plan create - Members subscribe with
/subscribe
That's it. Billing, role management, and retention are handled automatically from there.
