Where Discord falls short for commerce teams

Discord is built for open servers, not for owned customer journeys, segmentation, or executive-ready reporting.

No brand ownership

discord.gg URLs, default UI, confusing onboarding—hardly on brand for premium customers.

No revenue data

Bots and spreadsheets required to link conversations to business outcomes.

Heavy moderation lift

Security settings, raids, and complex role trees demand full-time operators.
