Where should I start setting up Telegram payments?

The first thing you need to do is revoke the token from the Telegram bot in @botfather. If you have a new bot (newer bot release than this article), then you do not need to do this. Next, you need to enter the new token on our platform Bot-T.

After that, in the token update section, you should see a parameter as in the screenshot. Then you go to the payment system and add the payment method Telegram

Rate and setup in the payment system

We set the rate manually first in the payment methods section -> Currency management, set the rate for Telegram Stars (It will not be generated automatically, see screenshot)

We are configuring the Stars exchange rate directly in Telegram payments.

Changing the rate to stars in Telegram payment itself

We are changing the minimum deposit amount in the bot so there are no errors

Go into the Telegram payment settings (log in via the gear icon where all payment groups are shown) and change the minimum amount to 100 and the maximum to 15000. So you don’t get the error shown here https://prnt.sc/iJiZoNwspR5C

If you want, you can change the percentage, since the withdrawal fee in Telegram Stars will be about 30 percent

Done. Your Telegram Stars has been successfully connected!
