What are the steps?
Grupo Chat Monetization Suite Activation (Delivery)
- 01
Confirm the client holds a Professional License ($159 one-time) before touching monetization settings
The Starter License ($49 one-time) ships core chat, AI moderation, and WordPress integration but no wallet, paid groups, memberships, or tips. Upgrading after deployment means re-uploading the package and re-verifying the admin panel, so settle the license tier at contract signature.
- 02
Open the admin panel and enable the Wallet System so users can fund accounts
Wallet balances are the settlement layer for every other monetization feature. Without it, paid groups and tips have no payment rail. Test a top-up with a live card before configuring anything downstream.
- 03
Connect the client's payment gateway and run a live transaction through the wallet
A sandbox pass proves nothing about the client's merchant account. Process one real top-up, confirm the balance lands in the user wallet, then refund it. If the gateway fails here, every paid group and membership configured afterward is dead on arrival.
- 04
Create the first Paid Group and set its access price and member cap
Paid Groups gate exclusive rooms behind a wallet charge. Name the group to match the client's offer (for example a coaching tier or a premium channel), set the price in the client's currency, and verify a non-paying account is refused entry.
- 05
Configure Paid Memberships for recurring revenue and map each tier to a role
Memberships bill on a cycle, so the role mapping decides what a member sees versus what a lapsed member sees. Assign permissions per tier in the role-based permissions screen and confirm a downgrade revokes access to gated rooms.
- 06
Switch on the Tips System and test a user-to-user payment
Tips move money between members, not to the client. Confirm the wallet debit and credit both post correctly and that the recipient's balance updates in real time. This is the feature most likely to surface a gateway rounding or fee error.
- 07
Hand the client a written revenue report showing wallet float, active memberships, and paid group counts
Pull the figures from the admin panel after seven days of live traffic. This report is the artifact that justifies the agency retainer at renewal, so it needs real numbers rather than a feature list.
