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.
Pay from Telegram
The customer pays from their Telegram wallet without going to an exchange.
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.
Many services accept TON through a single address with a mandatory comment (memo). Customers forget to add it, and the payment has to be tracked down by hand. In Moonvex each payment has its own address, so no comment is needed.
Recommended coin set in a Telegram bot
