# Telegram Overview

> Accept payments and manage paid access for your Telegram groups and channels with Suby.

The Suby bot manages paid access to private Telegram groups and channels automatically. It controls who can join, stay, or get removed based on subscription status, no manual work required.

## How It Works

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Granting Access" icon="user-plus">
    Once a payment is confirmed, the Suby bot adds the user to your private group or channel instantly, even if they were not previously a member.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Removing Access" icon="user-minus">
    Access is revoked automatically when a payment fails or a crypto subscription is not renewed after the reminder period. The user is removed without any manual action.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Renewals" icon="rotate">
    Card subscriptions renew automatically, no action needed from the subscriber. Crypto subscribers receive a reminder before their access expires and must renew manually.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Renewal Reminders" icon="bell">
    For crypto subscriptions, Suby sends renewal reminders directly inside Telegram before access expires. If the payment is completed, access continues uninterrupted.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>
