At Polar, we're building the creator platform for developers and the open source ecosystem. Empowering you to setup free- and paid subscriptions to your audience with built-in benefits that are seamless for you to manage and delightful for your audience to consume.
First, we introduced free- and paid posts & newsletters with our launch three weeks ago. In the coming days, we're excited to share 3 new subscription benefits that we've been cooking in our open s/kitchen/repository. Starting with Discord invites.
Your audience will clearly see the Discord benefit with your custom label, e.g Discord Members Lounge
, console.log(chat_message)
to OCamel My Camel
- have fun with it. Of course, you're also in complete control which tiers to enable it for - both free- and/or paid tiers.
In case the subscriber has already connected their Discord account with Polar, they'll immediately be invited to your Discord server with the appropriate role that you've set. C'est tout as the French say.
But if it's their first time c'est pas un probleme, as the French also say.
Subscribers will receive a notification that a Discord invitation via Polar is awaiting them. On Polar, they can then easily unlock it under their Benefit
-tab by connecting their Discord account (OAuth) - instantly getting invited to your server thereafter.
Wave to say hi! It's coconut oily smooth as ThePrimeagen would say.
It only takes a few minutes.

(See below)PS. You could also go directly to Benefits
to see all existing ones across subscription tiers and create a new one from there.
You'll be presented with a modal to create a new Subscription Benefit.

You'll now see the name of the Discord server you connected for this benefit.

. This is what your audience & subscribers will see.Create
Please note: Discord bots can only grant access to roles listed underneath the bot (Polar
) in your permission settings. We'll show a warning if you choose a role that is listed above our bot.
You can read more about Discord roles, what they enable and how you set them up on Discord's support page.
You now see the new Discord benefit and that it's been automatically enabled for the tier you're currently editing. Awesome. Just hit Save Tier
and you're done.
We've built this integration to support creating benefits across multiple Discord servers & roles 🤯 So unlike other creator platforms, we don't limit you to only upsell one role for one server across all subscription tiers.
Suggested upsells & roles
Share your upsell on Twitter with us @polar_sh - we can't wait to see how creative you get with this feature 😍
We're open source so there are no spoiler alerts or stealth operations here. Here's what's coming up shortly:

Discord was shipped by @Francois Voron in Lyon, France. So I (@birkjernstrom) broke out my high-school French to salute his efforts properly.
