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.
The Telegram audience
Messenger users already have a wallet — fewer steps to payment.
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.
If you sell through Telegram — a channel, a bot or a mini app — accepting TON covers most of your customers without sending them to exchanges.
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.
