FAQ: selling on Telegram

What can I sell on Telegram?
You can sell digital products (ebooks, templates, files), paid content (signals, analysis, tutorials), community access (private groups/channels), and courses. Any content that can be delivered as text, file, or invite link works.

How do Telegram Stars payments work?
Telegram Stars is Telegram's in-app currency for digital goods. Buyers fund and use a Stars balance through Telegram. When they buy your product, they confirm in Telegram — Gategram does not show a card form or redirect to card checkout.

How much does it cost to sell on Telegram?
Gategram charges at most 5% per Stars payment, rounded down to whole Stars. At least 95% is credited to the creator balance, with no monthly or setup fee.

Do I need a website to sell on Telegram?
No. Everything happens inside Telegram. You create products through the bot, share links in your channels or groups, and buyers pay without leaving the app.

Is selling on Telegram better than using Gumroad or Patreon?
Gategram removes the external checkout and buyer-account steps for a Telegram audience. Whether that improves conversion depends on your offer and audience, so use the creator funnel metrics to compare results.
