Ternary Joins Stripe Partner Program To Manage Discord Memberships

Ternary Developments, which provides a service that lets operators of online communities using the Discord chat platform easily offer paid membership plans, announced in a press release it is teaming with Stripe to let members of those plans easily conduct transactions, such as renewals.

Ternary, which was established in 2019, said in the release that it joined “the new Stripe Partner Program as a verified partner, which will enable customers to accept online payments securely on Stripe and scale their businesses while benefiting from Ternary’s seamless system.”

Ternary’s key offering to operators of Discord communities is websites that potential or existing users sign up for, or otherwise manage, online subscription to those communities, the release stated. Discord launched in 2015 as a platform for online gamers to interact with each other but has grown enormously. Users have described it as an especially flexible and free peer of Slack or Microsoft Teams.

“The solution integrates website, Discord and online payments to automate the entire lifecycle of subscriptions so customers can focus on growing their business instead of worrying about administrative tasks,” Miami-based Ternary said in the release. “Ternary’s seamless system manages all aspects of memberships in the backend, from payment collection to user authentication, providing full visibility of all actions to the administrators every step of the way.”

Ternary CEO Jason Lee said in the release: “Becoming a verified member is a great achievement that reinforces our commitment of delivering enterprise-grade infrastructure to help customers monetize online communities with confidence.”

Stripe Verified Partners reportedly must undergo extra security verification before integrations are allowed and gain access to Stripe’s partner directory, which the company said puts them in front of millions of potential users, according to the release.
