Subscriptions, paywalls and donations — native Stars checkout

Turn your Telegram channel into income

How to monetize a Telegram channel?

AdminHub turns a regular Telegram channel into a revenue stream via native Stars payments. Three independent models work on the same channel: a paid subscription on a 30-day cycle, locked posts that unlock per payment, and open-ended donations toward a goal. Access opens and closes automatically — the creator's bot manages every join link, post unlock and refund revocation. No cards, no payment processor — Telegram requires Stars for digital goods. AdminHub takes 0% of payment flow.

Paid Telegram channel

Three ways to monetize a channel

Pick the model that matches your channel — recurring paid access, one-off paid posts, or open-ended donations. Mix them on the same channel if you want.

Paid channel access

A closed channel with a paid subscription: buyers pay in Stars every 30 days and join via their own invite link. Access closes the moment they cancel or refund.

  • Paid in Stars on a 30-day cycle
  • Renews on its own until cancelled
  • Unsubscribe in one tap inside the bot
  • Each subscriber gets their own invite link
  • Access closes instantly on cancel or refund

Paid posts in your channel

Lock any post in the channel — buyers see a preview, pay and unlock the full version. Sell guides, videos and exclusives one by one.

  • Lock any post in the channel
  • One payment unlocks one post
  • Views and purchases shown in analytics
  • Post locks again if the payment is refunded

Fundraising goals

Raise toward a clear goal — new gear, a trip, a charity. Supporters see how much is already raised and contribute any amount.

  • Goal in Stars or fiat
  • Progress bar right inside the channel post
  • Any amount from the supporter
  • Built-in suggested amounts
  • Funds reach you directly, no middleman

Three steps to the first payment

No website, no payment processor. The bot does the access work, Telegram does the checkout.

  1. Give the bot admin rights

    Add your bot to the channel as admin with the "invite users" permission. That is what lets it open and close access per buyer.

  2. Pick a model

    Paid subscription, paywall post or fundraising goal — set it up in the Mini App in a couple of taps. You can run more than one on the same channel.

  3. Share the link or post

    For a subscription — share the join link. For a paywall — publish the post. For a goal — pin it. Each payment opens access on its own.

Channel questions

What can I charge for on a channel?

Recurring paid access on a 30-day cycle, one-off access to a single paywalled post, or open-ended donations toward a goal. Three independent models — use any combination on the same channel.

Stars or card?

Stars only. Telegram requires Stars for digital goods like paid posts and channel access — cards are not allowed by Telegram policy for this category. Funds land directly in your Stars balance.

What cut does AdminHub take?

Nothing on payments. Telegram keeps its standard cut on Stars (about 30%). The rest lands in your Stars balance. AdminHub only charges you for the Pro plan you pay with your own Stars.

What happens to access on cancel or refund?

A subscription cancel closes access at the end of the paid 30-day period. A refund — through Telegram inside 21 days — closes access the moment it clears. For a paywall post, a refund relocks the post immediately.

Can a subscriber unsubscribe in one tap?

Yes. Telegram-native unsubscribe button right inside the bot. No emails, no support tickets. The flow is the same Telegram uses for its own paid channels.

Do I need a separate bot for this?

You need a bot — your own creator bot. AdminHub guides you through creating one with @BotFather and connecting it to your channel as admin. After that the bot handles every checkout, invite link and access revocation on its own.
