Sell paid access to Telegram groups and channels
Gate your private community with native Stars checkout. Buyers pay, get the invite link, and join — all inside Telegram.
The problem with manual access management
Most Telegram creators selling community access run a painful manual workflow: buyer DMs them, creator sends a payment link, buyer pays on an external page, creator manually checks the payment, then manually sends the invite link. Each step is a delay where the buyer can lose interest or forget.
Automated tools like InviteMember improve the workflow but still route payment through external checkout (Stripe, PayPal). The buyer still leaves Telegram, still enters card details on an unknown page, still waits for confirmation. The friction is lower than manual, but it's still there.
With native Telegram Stars checkout, the entire flow — discovery, payment, and access delivery — happens inside the app the buyer already has open. One tap to pay, instant invite link, done.

How to set up paid community access
Create your private group or channel
Set your Telegram group or channel to private so it requires an invite link to join.
Create a Gategram offer
Open the Gategram bot, create a new paid offer, set your Stars price, and paste your private invite link as the content.
Share the buy link
Post the buy link in your public channel, pinned messages, bio, or DMs. This is the single link buyers use to purchase access.
Buyers pay and join instantly
When someone taps your buy link, they see the Stars payment dialog, confirm with one tap, and receive the invite link as a Telegram message. They join your community in seconds.
Paid community access FAQ
How do I sell access to a private Telegram group?
Create a Gategram offer with the invite link as your content, set a Stars price, and share the buy link. Buyers pay natively and receive the invite instantly.
Can I gate a Telegram channel with a paywall?
Yes. Set the channel to private, use the invite link as your Gategram offer content, and share the buy link publicly.
What if I need to revoke access later?
You control your group settings. You can regenerate invite links and manage members directly in Telegram. Gategram handles the payment and delivery — membership management stays in your hands.
Can I set different prices for different access levels?
Yes. Create separate Gategram offers for each access tier — each with its own price and invite link to different groups or channels.
