Plans, trials and reminders

Members pay for access to your paid channel with Telegram Stars, right inside your bot. You decide the plans and prices; the bot does the selling, lets people in and removes them when their access ends.

What your fans see

1. Start A fan opens your bot — from your channel, a promo post or a link — and presses Start.
2. Age check They confirm they are 18 or older. Nothing is sold before that.
3. Your plans The bot shows your plans as buttons. One tap opens the payment in Telegram.
4. Access After paying, they get a personal one-time link into your paid channel. When access ends, the bot removes them — unless they renewed.

Lost the link? /join in the bot gives a new one to anyone whose access is still valid.

Set up your plans

Open Sell › Plans & reminders.

• Title and description — what the fan sees on the button and the invoice.
• Price in Stars and length in days — for example 30 days for 500 ⭐.
• Renewing or one-off — a renewing subscription is charged by Telegram every 30 days until the fan cancels it in Telegram; a one-off pass simply ends.
• Who is it offered to — everyone, newcomers only (an introductory offer, such as a cheaper first week), or only people who paid before and let it lapse (a win-back offer).
• Position in the offer — the order of the buttons.

Referrals and reminders

Lower on the same page, under Referrals & reminders, the bot can sell for you. Each option is off until you set a number, and nothing goes to anyone who blocked the bot.

• Free days for each friend who subscribes — every member gets a personal invite link with /invite; when a friend pays through it, the member gets free days.
• Remind before access ends — a note a few days before a one-off pass runs out.
• Invite back after access ended — a message to those who left, with your win-back offer first.
• Nudge after /start without paying — one gentle reminder for people who looked but did not buy.
• Remind about an unpaid checkout — for someone who opened the payment and did not finish, with a button that brings the same offer back.

Free trials

Sell › Free trials creates links that give a few days of free access — for a giveaway, a collaboration or your bio.

1. Name the link so you know where you used it.
2. Days of free access (1–30) and, if you want, how many people can take it and until when.
3. Create link and copy it. The page then shows who took a trial, how many went on to pay and how much they brought.

Each person can take one trial per figure, ever — and someone who already paid gets your win-back offer instead of free content.
