How payments work, step by step
Clear flow for buyers and creators: pay in Telegram Stars, verify payment, unlock automatically.
1
Buyer taps your link
They see your title, price, and content teaser in Telegram.
2
Buyer pays in Stars
Telegram handles payment with its native Stars checkout.
3
Payment is confirmed
Gategram receives confirmation and verifies the purchase.
4
Content unlocks automatically
Your text, link, or file is queued for delivery in chat, with retries for temporary failures.
5
Your creator share is recorded
Gategram records at least 95% after a whole-Star service fee of up to 5%. Eligible balances are paid using the published payout rate after the holding period.
