Good fit · Fit 50%

Pros

  • Transfers confirm quickly, so the customer does not wait on the checkout page.
  • Low network fee: paying even small amounts makes sense for the customer.

One payment link

paymentUrl opens in Telegram’s browser, so the customer isn’t away from the messenger for long.

TON and USDT

Telegram wallet, TRC-20 and other networks — the customer chooses.

Micropayments

Low fees make even a couple of dollars per order worthwhile.

The bot flow is simple: the user taps “Buy”, the bot calls POST /v1/payments with orderId = user and product id, and sends a button with paymentUrl. The payment.confirmed webhook is the signal to grant access or deliver a key or file.

Solana users are used to fast transfers: if a payment hangs for minutes, they leave. Moonvex tracks transfers and shows the status to the customer right away.

Recommended coin set in a Telegram bot

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.
