When do I actually get paid?

Every Wednesday straight into your Indian bank account, once the balance clears ₹500. One-time penny-drop KYC before your first payout.

Do I need to build my own Telegram bot?

No. Add the verified @My_Scoop_Bot as an admin and MyScoop handles single-use invites and removes members the moment their subscription lapses.

How does UPI AutoPay billing work?

Buyers approve a recurring mandate once in PhonePe, Google Pay or Paytm. It renews monthly — no cards, no reminders, no failed payments.

Why not just use Patreon or Gumroad?

Both run on international cards: 10% plus 3.5% forex, high Indian card failure rates and slow cross-border payouts. MyScoop is native UPI, a flat 10%, and a weekly bank transfer.

What is the payment gateway fee?

Beyond the flat 10% platform fee, RBI-licensed gateways charge ~2% (+18% GST) to move money. MyScoop passes that through at cost, with zero markup.

Is there a yearly discount?

Video Academy is ₹999/mo or ₹9,990/year — two months free. Digital Store & Communities stays ₹0/month forever.

What if I pass the 30 GB storage limit?

Self-serve Storage Booster Packs: +50 GB at ₹199/mo up to +500 GB at ₹1,499/mo, with no bandwidth egress charges.

How do 15-minute download links work?

The timer starts when the download connects, not when it finishes, so a slow link still completes. Any time later, your order receipt mints a fresh one.

Is a phone number watermark legal?

Raw numbers are not. MyScoop masks them (+91 98*** **210) and adds an encrypted session token, so a leaked clip traces back to one buyer under the DPDP Act.

Can I offer different membership tiers?

Yes! You can create multiple tiers (e.g., Bronze ₹199/mo, Silver ₹499/mo, Gold ₹999/mo) with custom Telegram channel access and downloadable bonuses.

What happens if a member's bank account has insufficient balance?

Our automated system retries the UPI AutoPay mandate and sends friendly WhatsApp notifications. If payment fails after grace periods, our bot removes the user automatically.

Where Patreon Falls Short

Why Indian Creators Look Beyond Patreon

A look at where Patreon falls short for Indian creators, based on its publicly published pricing and product limitations — from heavy commissions and missing India-first payment rails to limited delivery automation.

Broken Recurring Card Billing Under RBI Norms

In October 2021, RBI mandated AFA (Additional Factor of Authentication) for all recurring card transactions. Patreon's US billing engine fails on almost all Indian credit and debit cards.

Prohibitive Tier Fees (8% to 12% + Processing)

Patreon takes 8% on Pro and 12% on Premium, plus processing fees and currency conversion. Creators surrender nearly 15% of their monthly Patreon support.

Foreign Exchange Friction & Bank Delays

Patreon pays in USD through Payoneer or PayPal. Creators lose 3% on exchange rates and face 5-7 business day transfer delays.

Lack of WhatsApp & Telegram Community Rails

Indian audiences live on WhatsApp and Telegram, not Discord or Patreon's clunky native app feed.

The MyScoop Difference

Engineered Specifically for India's Creator Economy

From 1-Click UPI AutoPay to automated Telegram bot invites and weekly Wednesday direct bank payouts (Min ₹500, KYC), MyScoop delivers a seamless checkout experience for your audience.

Frictionless UPI AutoPay Recurring Subscriptions

Subscribers authorize an e-mandate once on PhonePe, GPay, or Paytm. Monthly renewals happen automatically with zero OTP friction.

Native Telegram VIP Group & Channel Bot

Deliver your exclusive content right where your supporters are. Our bot manages member entry and handles automatic exits if a membership is paused.

Keep 90% of Every Patreon Payment

Enjoy a transparent flat 10% commission with ₹0 upfront monthly software fee, instead of Patreon's 8%-12% revenue tax and 3.5% forex loss.

Weekly Wednesday Payouts into Indian Accounts

Earnings arrive in your bank account the very next working day via NEFT/IMPS with zero international currency penalties.
