For the past few hours, I’ve been trawling the interweb for information on how best to link these together. I’ve found integration services such as Zapier and Automate.io, but I’m struggling to understand if the following can be achieved:
Basically, I’m trying to create a premium subscription service that has a few benefits. One of those benefits would be access to a private discord channel with other premium members and our sponsored players. So when someone purchases a specific product, it triggers and they get allocated the specific role in Discord.
If the target services can assign a role in discord then yes this is possible.
Generally the process would be after purchase during the order, or fulfillment , process whether manual or automation the customer is given some sort of flag: a tag or a metafield flag to indicate status, and possibly a separate flag to track expiration. Though it can be one thing like a tag “premium_until_2024_03” but that often means string parsing has to happen somewhere to figure out that date.
Then the service reads that flag and any other relevant customer data and does the actions need to set a discord role or other processes.
If your running a discord bot that can assign roles based on chat|interaction; in theory you can do this whole thing just using shopify-flow’s send-http-request action to send a bot webhook.
If you need something like that worked out you can contact me for services. Please provide context: store url, theme name, post url and any further detail. Contact Info in signature.
The general idea is to connect your payment platform’s webhook or event system with Discord’s API. For example, when a payment is completed, the system sends a signal to Discord that assigns the role to that user. Tools like Zapier or Make can handle that connection without needing to code much, but if you want more flexibility, you can also create a small custom bot that listens for purchase confirmations and adds roles automatically.
Basically, you can use the workaround like whenever the customers pay for subscription, the link will be open to them in navigation menu to join the Discord server. The link will be hidden for the customers who have not paid the subscription fees. I want to inform you that AiTrillion can help you create the premium membership where the link or the menu where the Discord link exist will be visible to the subscribers. The non subscribers will have option to purchase the premium membership.
