Telegram subscription bot

Turn a private channel into recurring revenue. A subscription bot charges your members, lets the paying ones in, and kicks the lapsed ones out — automatically. tgkit builds it for you on a fixed price.

A Telegram subscription bot sells recurring access to a private channel or group. It collects payment with Telegram Stars (native in-app recurring subscriptions) or Stripe (card billing), adds the paying member, and automatically removes them when their subscription lapses — so your paywall enforces itself with zero manual admin. It's one of the simplest ways to turn a Telegram audience into recurring revenue, and it's exactly what we build.

What a subscription bot does for you

Stars vs Stripe — which billing?

Telegram Stars is the path of least friction: subscribers pay inside Telegram, renewals are handled by Telegram, and there's no checkout to leave the app for. Stripe gives you full control — custom pricing, multiple currencies, trials, and proper failed-payment handling. Many channels run both. We wire whichever fits your audience, including the payout path so you can actually withdraw what you earn. (Related: our payment bot for one-off sales rather than recurring access.)

Who uses subscription bots

Paid communities, trading- and sports-signal channels, course and cohort access, creator memberships, and any private channel where access should be gated behind a recurring payment. If your channel already has an audience, a subscription bot is the fastest way to make it pay. New to bots? Start with what a Telegram bot is.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Telegram subscription bot?
A Telegram subscription bot sells recurring access to a private channel or group. It takes payment (Telegram Stars or Stripe), adds the paying member to your channel, and automatically removes them when their subscription lapses — so your paywall enforces itself with no manual admin.
How does a subscription bot take payment on Telegram?
Two routes. Telegram Stars supports native recurring subscriptions inside the app (Telegram handles renewals). Or the bot can charge cards through Stripe for full control over pricing, currencies and dunning. tgkit builds either, or both side by side.
How do I get paid / withdraw the money?
With Stars, you accumulate Stars from subscribers and withdraw them to TON (or convert per Telegram's current payout rules) from your bot's balance. With Stripe, payouts land in your bank account on Stripe's normal schedule. We wire whichever payout path you want when we build the bot.
Does the bot remove members when they stop paying?
Yes — that's the core of it. The bot tracks each member's expiry and revokes their access (kicks them from the private channel/group and invalidates their invite link) the moment a subscription ends or a payment fails, so non-payers can't linger.
Can Telegram subscription bots actually make money?
Yes — a subscription bot is one of the clearest ways to monetise a Telegram audience: recurring revenue from a paywalled channel, with the bot doing collection and access control automatically. It works for paid communities, signal channels, course access, and creator memberships.
