The job is membership, not checkout
Taking a payment is the easy half. The work is what happens afterwards, every day: letting the right people in, removing the ones who stopped paying, and keeping the channel usable for everyone still there. A tool that stops at the receipt leaves you with the hard half.
One bot for the door and the room
Because the paid membership and the moderation modules sit on the same bot, the member who joined through a payment is the same record the moderation sees. Anti-spam, CAPTCHA, warnings and bans run in the channel you are selling access to, from the same dashboard.
That matters most when a channel gets big enough to attract people who are not there for the content.
What you can sell besides access
The Mini App storefront runs on the same bot, so a channel that sells membership can also sell a physical product, a digital file with automatic delivery, or a one-off session, without a second tool. Courses are a common pairing; see Sell courses on Telegram.
Prices, plainly
Paid memberships and your own branded bot are on the Business plan at $99 a month, which also covers unlimited channels and priority support. The Mini App ladder is separate and starts free, then $19, $49 or $99. Both tables are on Pricing.
Where the money goes
Card payments inside Telegram run through your own Stripe account, so the revenue is yours directly. Digital goods can also be sold for Telegram Stars, which settle to your own bot balance. In both cases BotLaunch is not in the payment path and takes no cut of the sale.
