Megalodon tips

Megalodon is a tipster-style subscription platform with a Telegram-first delivery model. Subscribers pay through PayPal, get plan-specific access tiers, and receive content directly inside a Telegram channel that the platform manages on the operator's behalf. The interesting part is what happens between those simple-sounding pieces.

Behind the curtain

Subscriptions are tracked against PayPal's recurring billing webhooks. Access to the Telegram channel is granted and revoked automatically — when a subscription lapses the user is removed from the channel; when it renews they are added back, no manual handling. The bot also enforces single-device access where the plan requires it.

We took care of all the edge cases that make this kind of system fragile: failed payments with grace periods, refunds, plan upgrades mid-cycle, dispute handling, and audit trails for every state change. The result is a platform the operator can scale to hundreds or thousands of subscribers without spending evenings reconciling who paid and who is still inside the channel.
