Plans and payments

A plan ties together price, limits and access: what it costs, how much traffic and how many devices, and which locations the client gets.

One currency

The whole service runs on a single currency. Several at once would mean exchange rates, conversion and figures that disagree. You change it under Payments and currencies, but prices already entered are not converted — you have to go through them by hand.

The exception is Telegram Stars: they live in their own unit and cannot take ordinary money, so the price in stars is a separate field.

Plans

Code — internal; past purchases are found by it. Best left alone on a plan that is in use.
Periods and prices — how many days and for how much. There can be several.
Limits — traffic, devices, and how the counter resets.
Squads — the set of locations the client receives.
Visibility — a hidden plan is reachable only by direct link or promo code.

The order of plans in the list is the order in the bot and on the site; rows are dragged.

Payment providers

Keys are entered in the panel, not in files on the server. They are kept in the database and never handed back to the browser: only a “set” marker is shown. An empty field on save means “keep the existing key”.

A price is useless if no enabled provider takes its currency: the client sees the amount but no pay button. The panel warns about this on the plan page.

For a provider with an ordinary REST API there is a generic “Custom provider” module: it posts an amount, gets a payment link back and waits for a webhook with the status. No code to write.

Refunds

Money goes back through the provider's own dashboard — the panel does not do it for you: refunds work differently everywhere, and a quiet “refund automatically” that failed would mark a payment refunded while the money was still there.

The panel records that a refund happened and, if you want, revokes the subscription. A partial refund leaves the payment successful and notes the amount returned; a full one moves it to “refunded”, so the month's revenue does not count that money.

Promo codes and affiliates

Promo codes give a percentage off, a fixed amount or bonus days; they can be limited by number of uses, by date and to first purchase only.

An affiliate earns a percentage of every successful payment by a client they brought, for life. A new rate applies to future payments — commission already earned is not recalculated.

What the servers cost

Each node carries its hosting provider, rental cost and billing day. The Infrastructure billing section adds it up: what the fleet costs and what is left after it.
