Pros

    Keep in mind

    • Telegram users often pay from the built-in wallet: add TON or USDT on TON as an option.
    • The network fee is noticeable: for small orders add a cheaper network to the checkout, such as BEP-20, TON or Solana.
    • The coin’s price moves: set the price in USD and the amount is converted at the rate fixed when the invoice is created.

    Subscriptions

    Moonvex issues the invoice for the next month and sends you an event.

    Automatic access

    The webhook is the signal for your bot to hand out an invite link.

    Invoice in fiat

    A USD price is converted to BTC at the rate locked when the invoice is created.

    The setup is simple: your sales bot creates a subscription via the API, sends a payment link and, once it receives the payment event, issues a one-time invite link to the channel. When a subscription isn’t renewed, the bot removes the member.

    Bitcoin transfers take longer to confirm than stablecoins, so for digital goods it helps to show the customer the payment status in real time. The Moonvex payment page updates on its own — the customer doesn’t need to reload it.

    Recommended coin set for paid channels

    To cover most customers, enable on the checkout page: USDT on TON, Toncoin (TON), USDT TRC-20. The customer picks the network, and every payment lands on one project balance.

    One request to create a payment

    The response contains the address, the exact amount and a link to a ready-made payment page. Status updates arrive via HMAC-signed webhooks.

    FAQ

    Which currency should the price be in when customers pay in Bitcoin?

    Set the price in USD with Bitcoin as the payment coin: Moonvex converts the amount and fixes the rate when the invoice is created.

    Can I do this without my own bot?

    Yes, issue invoices manually and add members yourself. A bot is only needed for automation.

    Do you accept Lightning?

    For now, only the Bitcoin main network.

    What if a subscriber pays late?

    You’ll receive the payment event and can restore their access.

    Can I send a BTC invoice without a website?

    Yes, from the dashboard or the Telegram bot — the customer gets a link to the payment page.
