Paid drops, bundles, tips and requests

Sell single posts and bundles, take tips and deliver custom requests — all paid right inside your bot.

Besides subscriptions, your bot can sell single pieces of content, bundles, tips and custom requests. Fans always pay with Telegram Stars in the chat with your bot, and everything they buy is protected from forwarding and saving. Each of these is off until you switch it on.

Paid drops

A drop is a set of up to ten photos and videos that a fan unlocks for a price. Create one under Sell › Paid drops: give it a title, a caption, a price in Stars and pick the items from your gallery. A free teaser photo is optional.

How fans get to a drop:

  • a paid post in your channel with an unlock button (see Paid posts),
  • /content in the bot, which lists what is for sale,
  • a link to the drop you share anywhere,
  • an offer from your inbox, a broadcast or the welcome sequence.

Not sure about the price? Once a few drops have sold, VelocityBot shows which price band earned you the most per drop — right next to the price field.

Bundles

Sell › Bundles puts two to ten drops together for less than their sum. The bot shows what is inside and how much the fan saves, then delivers everything right after payment. A fan who already owns some of the drops is told so before paying.

Tips and a tip menu

Under Sell › Tips switch tips on and create a menu: a coffee for 50 ⭐, a voice note for 300 ⭐… Fans tip with /tip or with one tap under your plans.

The tip menu with items, prices and recent tips

Mark an item as one you have to deliver (a voice note, a personal photo) and every tip for it lands in your requests as already paid, so nothing is forgotten.

Custom requests

Fans describe what they would like with /custom. You see every request under Sell › Custom requests.

  1. Set a price and a date The fan gets your price, the due date and an invoice — with a No thanks button.
  2. The fan pays The request turns paid. Past the due date it turns red, so you notice.
  3. Deliver Pick the photos or videos from your gallery and add a message. The bot sends them protected from forwarding and the request is done.

You can decline a request until it is paid. Refunds of Stars are not automatic, so price only what you are sure you will deliver. You can set a starting price for all requests.
