Frequently Asked Questions

Grouper is a platform that lets Telegram creators monetize their private groups and channels through paid subscriptions. Subscribers pay in USDT (TRC-20), and the bot handles payment verification, group access, renewals, and creator payouts automatically.

Open the Grouper bot on Telegram, tap "Become a Creator," enter your TRC-20 wallet address, add the bot to your private group as an admin, and create your subscription plans. The entire process takes under five minutes.

No. Your Telegram account is your identity. Creators register through the bot by providing a wallet address, and subscribers simply pay and get access. No email, no password, no separate account.

Any private Telegram group or channel — trading signals, courses, fitness coaching, exclusive communities, software access, VIP memberships, and more. If you can make it a private Telegram space, Grouper can gate it.

Grouper supports USDT (Tether) on the TRON network (TRC-20). USDT is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, so there is no crypto price volatility — 10 USDT is always worth approximately $10.

TRON offers near-zero transaction fees (fractions of a cent) and fast confirmations (~3 seconds per block). This makes it practical for recurring subscription payments of any size. USDT on TRON is one of the most widely used stablecoin combinations globally.

Any wallet that supports TRC-20 tokens — TronLink, Trust Wallet, SafePal, Ledger (with TRON app), TokenPocket, and exchange wallets with TRC-20 support (Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.).

A platform fee starting at 5% per transaction. No monthly fees, no setup charges, no hidden costs. Network fees (TRX gas) are separate and typically negligible on TRON.

Each invoice is valid for 30 minutes. If it expires before your payment is detected, you can request a new one at no cost.

Payments are matched by deposit address. Sending less may not be recognized; sending more may leave overpayment at the deposit address. Always double-check the exact amount.

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Grouper does not process refunds directly. Refund policies are at the discretion of individual creators.

Payouts are sent automatically to your TRC-20 wallet. After each payment is confirmed, your share (minus platform fee) is transferred. No manual withdrawals needed.

Payouts are processed automatically. Once initiated, the TRON network confirms within minutes. No minimum payout thresholds.

Yes, update it anytime through the bot. Future payouts go to the new address; previous payouts are unaffected.

Creators can set up weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly plans. Each group can have multiple plans at different price points.

The bot sends a reminder before expiry. If you don't renew, access is automatically revoked. You can resubscribe anytime.

Yes — automatic reminders with a direct renewal link are sent before your subscription ends.

Absolutely. Each group has its own plans and pricing, managed independently.

Yes. Payments are verified on the TRON blockchain — no way to fake them. The bot uses unique deposit addresses per invoice, HMAC-signed communications, and never stores your private keys.

Only "Invite Users" and "Ban Users" admin permissions. It does not read messages, delete posts, pin messages, or change settings.

Payments are collected at unique deposit addresses and forwarded to creators after the fee is deducted. We do not operate as a custodial wallet.

Telegram user ID, wallet addresses, transaction records, and subscription details. We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or personal information beyond what Telegram provides.

A background service monitors the TRON blockchain for USDT transfers to active invoice addresses. When a matching transaction reaches the required confirmations, the subscription is activated.

Infrastructure is designed for 99.9% uptime. During temporary downtime, subscriptions and access remain intact. Pending payments are processed when monitoring resumes.

Yes. Grouper works with both private groups and private channels. Setup is identical.
