Monetizing Your Discord App Hero Image
App Monetization applies to Bots and Activities. If you’re building a game integration, check out Social Commerce & Game Shops for more information on how to monetize your game with Discord.
Our Premium Apps features let you charge for your app’s features directly within Discord, using Discord’s built-in payment and checkout flow. Users never leave the platform to subscribe or make a purchase, which reduces friction and keeps the experience native. Discord handles billing, fraud detection, and receipts, while you handle granting access to your premium features. You can offer two types of monetization:
  • Recurring monthly subscriptions with the option to offer to individuals or whole servers
  • One-Time purchases with the option to offer durable upgrades or consumable items
Both types integrate through the same SKU and Entitlement APIs, so your app checks whether a user is entitled to a feature before granting access. Monetized apps also get additional surface area on the App Directory, including a store page where users can browse and purchase your offerings without having to install your app first.
