Product-native pricing
Set the exact Stars amount
A Stars-only digital product needs no USD price or crypto Payment Profile. The whole-number Stars amount is the payment truth.
Choose payment by what you sell
Digital goods and services sold inside Telegram bots or Mini Apps must use Telegram Stars. This includes paid digital content and community access; buyer wallet preference does not change that rule.

Where USDT/USDC fits
GramBase also supports direct-to-wallet crypto transfers. Assess physical goods or genuinely separate web sales under the rules for that sales channel. A website or a crypto switch does not exempt in-Telegram digital sales from Stars. Check the configured token, network and receiving address before sharing checkout.

Deliver automatically
Telegram's payment confirmation starts delivery. In Orders, check payment and delivery separately: a paid order can still have a delivery error. Resolve that error before promising access.
Telegram Stars payments FAQ
Can a digital product accept only Stars?
Yes. A Stars-only digital product does not need a crypto price or Payment Profile.
Can I use USDT instead of Stars for digital goods?
No. Telegram requires Stars for digital goods and services sold inside its apps. GramBase's separate crypto capability does not override that requirement.
Are Stars payments non-custodial?
No. Telegram manages the Stars balance and withdrawal path. Non-custodial direct-to-wallet wording applies only to stablecoins.
Do Stars subscriptions renew automatically?
No. GramBase's Stars invoices are one-time charges. Buyers place a new order to renew, or you send a renewal link. Expiry removal requires the bot's permissions and is best-effort.
