How it works

Buying Stars in four steps

Everything happens inside the @tgpaycryptobot Mini App, with no other sites involved.

Step 1

Open “Stars and gifts”

The Stars tab buys Stars, Premium handles the subscription, Gifts sends profile gifts from Telegram's catalog.

Step 2

Pick the amount

Preset packs or a custom amount. The minimum and maximum are shown on screen, each pack with its dollar price.

Step 3

Choose the recipient

By default the Stars go to you. Send them to a friend's public @username instead, or issue a check link — whoever opens it first claims it.

Step 4

Pay from your balance

Pick the coin, check the “To pay” line and confirm with your PIN or biometrics. The rate locks at payment, fees are already included.

Terms

What to know before you buy

The same rules as on the app's payment screen, which is always the more precise source.

Why here

Stars from a crypto wallet, not a bank card

TG Crypto Pay is a custodial wallet inside Telegram: top it up on any of 16 networks and pay for Stars from that same balance.

No card, no exchange service

Pay from your USDT, GRAM, BTC or other balance. The amount to be charged and the rate are visible before you confirm.

Anonymous or named

Stars and gifts arrive from the bot without your name. Turn on “Show me as the sender” and the recipient sees who they are from.

Orders under control

Every order's status on one screen. While an order is pending you can cancel it — the money comes back at once.
