Monetize your interactive community. Learn how to convert a standard Telegram Group into a premium subscription-only hub.

Telegram Group vs. Channel

Telegram Groups are designed for two-way discussions, networking, and active chatting. In contrast to channels (broadcast-only), groups require careful management to ensure subscribers enjoy a high-quality experience free from spam.

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Set up a private Telegram Group.
  2. Add `@PayPassTGBot` as an administrator. Grant permissions to "Invite Users via Link" and "Ban Users".
  3. In the bot dashboard, create a subscription project and select your group.
  4. Define your subscription tiers (e.g., Monthly, Yearly, Weekly).
  5. Distribute your checkout link.

Best Practices for Groups

  • Set Group Rules: Pin a clear rules message to prevent spam and link sharing.
  • Use Automated Moderation: PayPass manages entry, but utilizing secondary moderation bots can help filter out inappropriate content.
  • Monitor Evictions: If users complain about eviction, check if their subscription lapsed or if they failed to renew in time.
