Paid Telegram Group Access
Sell paid Telegram group or channel access with checkout linking, bot verification, and subscription expiry controls.
Use Telegram access when a product should unlock a paid Telegram group, supergroup, or channel. SellApp uses the official Telegram bot and a verification code flow, so there is no custom bot setup to maintain.
Connect Telegram
Start in your SellApp community settings, then open Telegram.
- Click Connect group/channel.
- SellApp will generate a verification code.
- Add the SellApp Telegram bot to the group or channel you want to sell access to.
- Post the verification code in that group or channel.
- Return to SellApp and wait for the group or channel to appear.
After it is connected, use Check Health if you want to confirm the bot can still manage that group or channel. SellApp also checks stale connections automatically.
Note
The bot needs enough permission to manage membership. If a health check fails, make the bot an admin in Telegram, then run the check again.
Add Telegram to a product
Open a product, expand Community, and choose the Telegram group or channel. Then decide whether the customer must link Telegram during checkout.
If linking is required, checkout will stop until the customer connects Telegram. If it is optional, SellApp can still show the access step without blocking the order.
For subscription products, keep Kick from group on subscription expiry enabled when the customer should lose paid community access after cancellation or failed renewal.
What customers see
During checkout, customers are asked to connect Telegram when the product requires it. Once the order completes, SellApp creates the community grant and tracks the result on the order.
If something needs attention later, check the order's Community Access panel and the Community Health page.
