InviteMember vs GramBase
Why Telegram-native checkout beats a web-based subscription bot.
The Buyer Journey: GramBase vs InviteMember
Where do buyers drop off before they ever join?
InviteMember (Web Checkout)
User taps your payment link
Starts in Telegram, leaves immediately
Checkout opens on a web page
⚠️ App switch + form friction
InviteMember processes payment via custodial stack
⚠️ Platform and processor in the middle
Access is granted after external checkout completes
⚠️ More steps before the buyer joins
You run subscriptions only
One use case, less room to upsell
Access depends on external checkout
More friction, more drop-off before they pay
GramBase (Telegram-Native)
User opens your store inside Telegram
Bot + Mini App storefront
Buyer pays USDT or USDC direct to your wallet
✅ No web redirect, no custody
Bot grants access or delivers product instantly
✅ Subscriptions, files, courses, coaching
Done in one Telegram session.
Checkout to access: one native flow
Fewer steps, faster conversion, broader monetization
