What Is Groupbuys?
What does Groupbuys do, who is it for, and how does a partnership work?
1 min readUpdated November 5, 2026
Groupbuys helps Discord server owners grow by promoting each other. This is what it does and how a partnership works from start to finish.
The Short Version#
You post their server, they post yours. You find a server you'd like to partner with, agree on the terms, and the Groupbuys bot posts both ads for you.
Who It's For#
Owners of Discord servers with 100 or more members. You sign in with Discord, and only the real owner of a server can list it. Member counts come straight from Discord.
How a Partnership Works#
- List your server. Add the bot, pick a category, write a description and add your ad. See Listing Your Server.
- Find a partner. Browse the directory by category, size or language. See Finding Partners.
- Send a request. Say what you're offering and what you want back. See Sending a Request.
- Agree on the terms. The other owner can accept, decline or counter. See Countering a Request.
- The bot posts both ads. Once someone accepts, each ad goes into the other server. Nothing is posted before that.
Words You'll See#
| Word | What it means |
|---|---|
| Groupbuy | Your ad goes in the other server's shared partner channel |
| Partnership channel | Your ad gets a channel of its own in the other server |
| Add-on | Something extra on top of the post, like a ping, a pin or a giveaway |
| Counter | Sending a request back with different terms |
| PR team | People you let run partnerships for your server |
Note
Nothing is ever posted in your server until you, or someone on your PR team, accepts a request and its terms.
