What is Telegram Stars on BotLaunch?
Telegram Stars (XTR) is Telegram’s own in-app currency. A BotLaunch seller on a paid App plan who has connected their own Telegram bot can turn on Stars and set a price, in Stars, on any single (non-variant) product. Buyers tap "Buy with Stars" on the product page, approve the Telegram invoice, and the Stars are credited straight to the seller’s own bot balance. BotLaunch never holds or moves the money and takes no cut. Unlike card payments, Stars needs no provider token, because Stars has no external payment processor.
- No provider token, Stars has no external processor
- Stars settle straight to your bot's own balance
- You set each product’s Stars price yourself
- A separate switch from card payments, turn on either, or both
A second way to get paid, alongside cards
Telegram Stars is a separate rail from your Stripe-based card payments, built for digital goods.
Direct to your own bot
Stars settle straight to your own bot's Telegram Stars balance. BotLaunch is never in the payment path.
No provider token needed
Card payments need a Stripe provider token from your bot; Stars needs none, there is no external processor to connect.
You set the price
Choose a whole number of Stars per product yourself. BotLaunch doesn't convert your regular price or apply an exchange rate.
Works alongside card payments
Turn on Stars, card payments, or both, independently, on the same shop.
Three steps to accept Stars
No payment processor to sign up for and no keys to paste. Stars is a toggle plus a price.
Connect your own bot on a paid App plan
Telegram Stars needs your own white-label bot (not the shared BotLaunch bot) and a paid App plan, Starter, Growth, or Business.
Turn on Stars and price a product
In Shop → Payments, switch on Telegram Stars, no provider token to paste. Then open a product and set its "Price in Stars," a whole number you choose yourself.
Buyers tap "Buy with Stars ⭐"
On the product page, buyers see a "Buy with Stars" button. Telegram opens the Stars invoice, they approve it in the app, and the order is marked paid.
Every line below is enforced server-side, not aspirational copy: the same gates apply whether you flip the toggle from the dashboard or call the API directly.
- Paid App plan (Starter, Growth, Business)✓ required
