Telegram Group Access

🚀 Gate Telegram Access with Paymento App Bot

Easily sell access to your Telegram groups or channels using crypto payment links. Whether you're offering one-time access or recurring subscriptions, Paymento automates everything from joining users to groups, to removing expired members, and even sending payment reminders via Telegram.

✅ What You Can Do:

• Sell access to private Telegram groups using Payment Links

• Support both one-time and recurring payments

• Automatically invite or remove users based on payment status

• Link multiple payment links to a single group

• Choose to notify users via Telegram, or both Telegram + Email

🔧 Pre-Requisites

1. Start Telegram Bot

Just send a start command by the administrator telegram account to @PaymentoAppBot

2. Add Paymento Telegram Bot to the Group

Simply go to group members and add @PaymentoAppoBot to your group.

3. Convert Your Group(s) into a Supergroup

Telegram group access control works best with supergroups.

To convert your group:

• Open manage group settings

• Enable “Chat History for New Members”

• Telegram will automatically convert it to a supergroup

4. Invite the Bot & Make It Admin

Invite @PaymentoAppBot to your Telegram group and promote it to admin:

• Open group settings

• Tap “Add Members” → invite @PaymentoAppBot

• Right Click to “PaymentoAppBot” → Promote as Admin

• Select the bot and grant permission to add & remove members

3. Retrieve Group Chat ID

Inside each group, type:

/chat_id

PaymentoAppBot will reply with the group’s chat ID (e.g., -1001234567890). Make note of:

• Group Name

• Group ID

You’ll need both for the setup.

ℹ️ Group IDs must start with -100 to confirm it’s a supergroup.

⚙️ Setup in Paymento Dashboard

Step 1: Configure Group Access in Payment Link

• Go to the Payment Link Settings

• Navigate to the Advanced Integration step

• Add your Group Names and Chat IDs

Step 2: Choose Notification Method

Decide how your users should receive updates:

• 🔘 Telegram only (recommended)

• 🔘 Telegram + Email (if you collect email)

Paymento will handle payment reminders and renewals through Telegram.

Step 3: Share Telegram Bot Link with Your Customers

Once Telegram integration is active, Paymento generates a bot link like:

https://t.me/PaymentoAppBot?start=groupid-<chat_id>

When users click the link:

1. They start the bot

2. The bot detects the group and shows available payment options

3. After successful payment, they're invited to the group automatically

4. If using a subscription, they’ll get reminders via Telegram and be removed automatically if they don’t renew

✅ Done!

Your Telegram group is now fully gated using crypto payments! no manual approvals, no spreadsheets, no headaches.
