Community engagement is essential for online creators, and Discord is a powerful platform for building vibrant communities. Platforms like Whop have done an excellent job of simplifying monetisation and managing subscriptions, but by using Helio alongside Whop, creators can tap into additional features, like accepting crypto payments on Solana and offering unique membership options.
Helio enhances your Discord memberships with instant access, lower fees, and new ways to grow your audience and income. Whether you're focused on reselling, sports picks, trading tips, or crypto alpha, Helio works seamlessly alongside Whop to help you expand your community and boost your revenue.
Take Your Discord Memberships To The Next Level
Offering crypto payments for Discord memberships with Helio drives new sales by reaching a new audience of users eager to transact with their Solana wallets. It also enhances the user experience for members.
For Creators:
Reach New Customers: Enable crypto payments with Helio to access millions of new users across ecosystems like Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin.
Powerful Discord bot: Helio’s Discord bot is easy to set up and assigns roles instantly after purchase. It also automatically removes roles when a subscription ends—unlike competitors that can take over an hour to assign roles and don’t remove them at all when subscriptions expire.

Instant Payments: Receive funds immediately, with the option to automatically deposit them into a bank account of your choice.
For Members:

Flexible Payments: Offer customers the freedom to pay in hundreds of currencies across Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other L2s.
Case Studies
Helio is being used by communities to enhance their Discord membership offerings, particularly in the world of crypto trading. These communities are unlocking new opportunities for growth and monetisation through the integration of crypto payments, but the potential goes beyond just crypto trading groups. Here are some examples:
The Secret Society: A private trading community that focuses on building and growing crypto portfolios and networks. Members gain access to exclusive content, including weekly calls and streams, tracked wallets, trading tools, and important tweet trackers.
Pastel Alpha: This platform curates early information specifically for NFT investors, traders, and enthusiasts.
Alpha Line: A crypto-focused group providing exclusive trading tips and strategies.
Beyond crypto trading, Helio can also be used by various other types of communities looking to engage and monetise their members including gaming communities, educational groups and content creators.
How to Get Started
Implementing crypto payments for Discord memberships is simple. Helio makes it easy for communities to accept cryptocurrencies like SOL and USDC. With tools to automatically manage memberships, tiered access and track payments, creators can focus on building their community instead of managing transactions.
To get started with Helio's crypto payments for Discord memberships, follow these steps:
Enable Developer Mode in Discord to access required IDs.
Log into the Helio dashboard and authenticate the Helio bot for your server.
Set up the roles in Discord, ensuring the Helio bot role is above others in the hierarchy.

Start sharing the link with your community, and members will receive roles in real-time or claim them later!
