Hi there! I keep searching everywhere but can't seem to find any solution. I created a botpress chatbot, and I want to have a paywall (access after paying, subscription model). I'm going to use Wayforpay as payment system (basically Ukrainian Stripe, identical features and APIs). The chatbot itself will be deployed to Telegram I already came up with the whole payment workflow, with some automation between the payment system and Airtable as the user database. However, I can't figure out how to gate content! Is there any script? Should I start a new flow after payment = success? I need people to access the chatbot freely during the subscription time (28 days) Literally any workarounds are welcome! I already though of a code-based verification system (e.g. one-time passwords for 28 days) but that doesn't really solve the issue... Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

You could upload a table that stores the subscription status of each customer, and if that customer has a free trial active or not. Then, if customer subscribes, after payment = success set the value of the subscribed column of that customer to 1. Every customer starts with a free trial, which has a start date. When checking if customer is allowed to enter the paywalled node, you check: -For subscription status and -Free trial status and/or start date. (If free trial status = 1, then customer can proceed to paywalled node, or if current date is > freetrial start date + 28 then the customer can not proceed to paywalled node, and they are taken to an alternative node, and so on for other cases which are really simple to set up).

Yep, that's what I figured out! I'm using a table with the variable of "subscription-end" and every time a user starts interacting with the chatbot (starts a session) the bot first tests the user against the conditions of "user is in the table = true" and "subscription end = more than today" Now I just setup the whole automation between the payment system and the table so that Botpress updates the subscription-end accordingly

hey, do you mind sharing the workflow for the stripe integration?

I actually don't use Stripe, but a Ukrainian alternative called WayForPay. It is almost exactly the same, but Botpress doesn't offer the native integration yet, hence the big workaround

Yeah so the workflow where the bot stores the status of the users that paid in a table then the bot check against it would be similar for both Stripe and the one you're using

Update! So this is how it's working so far: 1. User pays the subscription 2. Payment system sends a webhook with the payment data 3. A new row is created in the local table in BP 4. When a user enters a session (any, first time or just new session) - the bot searches for the row associated with the user. If they can't find it - there is a whole signup system, which then matches their phone number to a phone number given by the payment system. Otherwise, the bot just works normally This is the setup for now, I will most probably change it later, but it's better to launch it anyhow than to not launch it ever! p.s. people are loving my product! I might end up posting it for share, even though it's in Ukrainian

Hi Kunji you work is great! Is possibile to share the bot? i'm new in botpress and i havn't experience in coding, but i would like to do somthing of similar.

Hi, can you tell us more about the payment processing process? how does the payment system send a webhook with payment data?
