Telegram Stars for bots: how they work
Telegram Stars are a digital currency used inside Telegram, and bots that accept Stars use them as payment for content and services. The SexyGram checkout lets you buy Telegram Stars with crypto for a chosen username, so the buyer can spend them with bots from the account balance (internal checkout fact). After payment, the checkout shows a status link for the order.
What Stars mean for bots
Telegram Stars are a digital currency inside Telegram that bots can accept for content or services. A bot that supports Stars shows a payment option in Stars instead of a separate card form. The payment is taken from the balance of the Telegram account that uses the bot. This guide explains how Stars for bots relate to the SexyGram checkout.
How bots accept Stars
A bot that accepts Stars shows the amount it expects in Stars inside the chat. When the account balance covers that amount, the bot proceeds with the content or service. The exact options a bot offers depend on the bot itself and are shown by Telegram. SexyGram checkout is not part of how a bot accepts Stars.
Why users buy Stars for bots
Users buy Telegram Stars when they want to pay a bot or use a feature that accepts Stars. The Stars must be on the Telegram account that interacts with the bot, because the payment is taken from that balance. Buying Stars before opening the bot avoids stopping mid-flow. The checkout delivers Stars to the username entered (internal checkout fact).
Buying Stars with crypto for bot use
The SexyGram checkout lets you buy Telegram Stars with crypto for a chosen username. The crypto payment step shows an address for the order and does not show card fields (internal checkout fact). Automatic matching depends on the amount and network matching checkout. After a matching payment, the order moves toward completed in the status flow.
Choosing the username that uses the bot
Enter the username of the Telegram account that will spend the Stars, because the checkout delivers Stars to that account (internal checkout fact). If the bot is used by a different account, order the Stars for that account instead. Check the username before payment, since the order targets the exact value entered. The account balance is where the Stars appear after the order completes.
Following the order on the status link
After payment, the checkout provides a private status link for the order. The status page opens without logging into a SexyGram account and shows the visible order state. Keep the link until the order reaches completed. Completed means the order is treated as complete in the status flow (internal checkout fact).
Using Stars with the bot after the order
Once the order is complete, the Stars appear in the balance of the account entered at checkout (internal checkout fact). Open the bot with that account and use the Stars for the content or service it offers. The bot shows its payment options inside the chat. Stars spent with a bot are spent inside Telegram.
Stars for bots versus Premium
Stars and Premium are different Telegram services. Stars are used for payments and content, while Premium is a subscription with extra features. SexyGram checkout sells both for a chosen username. If the goal is bot payments, Stars are the service to order.
