Telegram Stars: Pay for Digital Goods and More

Telegram Stars: Pay for Digital Goods and More

Over 400 million users interact with bots and mini apps on Telegram
every month - to buy products, access services, play games, and much
more. With today's update, bots and mini apps can sell digital goods
and services.

 Digital Goods and Services

For years, businesses have been able to sell physical products on
Telegram via bots and mini apps and accept payments from around the
world. This month, we updated the Bot Platform to seamlessly support
payments for digital products as well.

 Telegram Stars

To enable payments for digital goods and services across the Telegram
ecosystem, we're launching Telegram Stars. Stars can be acquired
through in-app purchases via Apple and Google or PremiumBot, then
spent on digital products offered by bots - from e-books and online
courses to items in Telegram games.

    You can try out payments with Stars in @DurgerKingBot which
    offers a special cake for the occasion (and even if the cake is a
    lie, it will refund your stars).

 Ready for App Stores

Telegram Stars are compliant with Apple and Google's latest policies
on sales of digital products - and gives developers in the Telegram
ecosystem and their users unprecedented access to in-app purchases on
mobile app stores.

Soon, developers will be able to withdraw the stars earned by their
bots in Toncoins via Fragment.

    Purchases of physical products stay exactly the same - using any
    of Telegram's supported payment providers. Developers can read
    more about the changes for digital products on this page.

With fast, user-friendly payments for digital goods and services, the
bot and mini app platform will allow new types of businesses to reach
over 900 million potential customers inside Telegram.

 More than Bots

This is just the beginning for Telegram Stars. Future updates will
bring extra features and functionality to Stars - like gifts for
content creators and more.

More than Bots


    For more details about Stars, please check our CEO's post on his
    channel, updated Terms of Services for Developers and the
    Detailed Guide for Payments in Stars.
