How to accept Telegram star payments

← Back

In the Telegram mini app, the site balance is topped up with stars: the rate and packages are set in the app_tg section settings, card payment there is disabled by default.

  1. Open the section with the app_tg module → "Module settings".
  2. Set "Rate: rubles per 1 star" (default 1) and "Star packages", for example 50, 100, 300, 1000.
  3. If desired, set the limits "Custom amount: from, stars" and "Custom amount: to, stars".
  4. Specify "Terms page (/terms command)" and "Reply to /paysupport". Telegram requires them from bots that accept payment.
  5. Save.

When the site is open in Telegram, on the "Finance" page the "Top-up with Telegram stars" block appears instead of card payment. The person chooses a package or their own number of stars and pays in the Telegram window. The balance is credited with "stars × rate" rubles, and the bot sends a top-up message.

Stars accumulate on the bot. The bot owner withdraws them via Fragment.

According to Telegram rules, digital goods and services in a mini app are sold only for stars. Therefore, pages from the "Card payment pages (closed in Telegram)" field do not open there. If the site sells physical goods (for example, printing), enable "Allow card payment in Telegram (physical goods only)". You can disable stars entirely with the "Disable star payments" checkbox.

If it didn't work

  • "Update Telegram — this version does not support star payments". The person has an old version of Telegram.
  • "Payment went through, the money will appear on the balance within a few minutes". The payment is accepted, crediting will catch up. If the balance has not changed for a long time, check "Check polling" on the section page.
  • "Card payment in Telegram is unavailable". This is expected for digital services — see the checkbox above.
