Why connect Telegram to Stripe
Stripe covers card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay for physical goods and services sold through Telegram, while Telegram Stars handles digital goods. We implement checkout, subscriptions and webhooks with proper reconciliation.
How the integration works
- Checkout. Checkout Session or Payment Link from the Mini App; Telegram invoice with Stripe where supported.
- Confirmation. Webhooks confirm payment; idempotent order creation.
- Subscriptions. Recurring billing with the customer portal.
- Compliance. Stars for digital goods inside Telegram as required.
Typical flows
- Order → Stripe Checkout → paid → Telegram confirmation
- Subscription renewal → reminder
- Refund → notification
