Quick Start

Prerequisites

A Discord or Stoat server where you have admin permissions
A Stripe account (or create one during setup)

Step 1: Add Arcalotl to your server

Invite the Arcalotl bot to your server using the invite link from your dashboard.

Step 2: Connect Stripe

Run the setup command in any channel:

/setup

Arcalotl will guide you through connecting your Stripe account via OAuth. If you don't have a Stripe account yet, you can create one during this flow.

Money flows directly to your Stripe account via Stripe Connect. Arcalotl never holds your funds.

Step 3: Create a plan

Create your first subscription plan:

/plan create Pro --price 9.99 --role @Premium

This creates a Pro plan at $9.99/mo that grants the @Premium role when a member subscribes.

Your members can now subscribe directly in chat:

/subscribe Pro

They'll get a Stripe checkout link, complete payment, and instantly receive the role. Dunning and retention are automatically active.
