Payment in a bot with no extra steps

Payment in a Telegram bot with AzelPay works like this: the bot creates a payment, the buyer opens the link and pays by card, and the bot gets the status in a webhook and delivers the product or access right away.

A payment link right in the chat

The “Pay” button in the bot opens the payment form. The buyer enters the card and returns to the bot.

Delivery after payment

The status arrives in a webhook, and the bot delivers the product with no manual check.

Mini apps

Open the link from a mini app or put it on a menu button.

Telegram Stars

We connect Stars sales to payment acceptance: pay by card, get the stars after payment.

Second gateway

Russian methods stay with your current provider, and cards from other countries go through AzelPay.

Why a Telegram shop loses buyers

A Telegram shop loses buyers from other countries when it offers only Russian instant payments, crypto or a card transfer. A purchase in a bot is an impulse: if the payment fails the first time, the buyer changes their mind.

Buyers from all over the world

Users from many countries see the bot, but only a Russian card can pay.

Buy “here and now”

One extra step in payment is a lost order. Especially on a check of a few dollars.

Gateways reject some business types

Your business type is rejected with no explanation. With us it is agreed before launch.

Terms without surprises

AzelPay terms cover what merchants complain about most: slow payouts, hidden fees, setup charges and outages you learn about from your own customers. We agree on everything below before launch.

Payout in USDT weekly

The term depends on your business type and plan. We name it before you connect.

No hidden fees

One rate, which we name before you connect. No extra charges on top.

No setup fee

You do not pay to connect. A security deposit applies only in some cases, for example if your site works as a pass-through for another project. We tell you before launch.

You learn about an outage first

If something stops working, our official Telegram bot sends you a notice before your customers write to you.

A second gateway: orders are not lost

If your main payment provider goes down, cards from other countries keep going through AzelPay.

Support for your customers

A customer paid, but the order did not arrive? They write to our bot with the button "Payment not credited", and we check the payment ourselves.

No foreign company needed: we check your project

Payments go through a foreign gateway, so you do not need your own company abroad. Instead of company documents, we look at the project itself: what it sells, to whom and through which site or bot. We agree on the business type before launch, not after the first payments.

What we check when you connect

  • The site or bot is real: it works and shows the product and the price.
  • The project has live traffic. We look at the visit statistics.
  • The business type, customer countries and turnover match what the site shows.

We do not connect shell sites, adult, betting, gambling and P2P. So other people's prohibited traffic does not break your payments.

How to start accepting payments

Connecting to AzelPay takes three steps: an application with your site, business type and turnover; agreeing on the rate and a project check; then launch through a payment link, a payment form or the API.

  1. Send an application

    Your project site or bot, business type and approximate turnover. A manager will contact you and answer your questions.

  2. Agree on the terms

    A manager reviews the project and names the rate. Connection takes 2 days on average, up to 5 days.

  3. Accept payments

    A payment link, a form or the API. Make a test payment, and customers from other countries can pay by card.

Questions about payments in Telegram

Answers for owners of Telegram bots and shops: is a site needed, how the payment status reaches the bot, do we connect Stars, and does payment work in a mini app.

Do I need a website if I sell only in Telegram?

No. You can send the payment link in a bot or chat. At review we look at the bot or channel where the buyer sees the product and the price.

How does the payment status reach the bot?

Through a webhook: after payment your bot gets the status and can deliver the product or access right away.

Do you connect Telegram Stars?

Yes. Selling Stars can be connected to payment acceptance: the buyer pays by card and the bot issues the stars after payment.

Can I accept payment in a mini app?

Yes. The payment link can be opened from a mini app or put on a button in a bot.
