Sellers got the opportunity to accept payments by credit cards in any Telegram messenger chat, reported on the company’s blog, RIA Novosti reports.

“Payment bots exist in Telegram since 2017. With their help you can safely pay for goods and services like delivery of pizza, without leaving applications. From today, sellers can receive payments by credit cards using 8 built-in payment systems in any chat, including Groups and channels, “- said in the message.

It is noted that for payment you can use any application, including Telegram for computers. Buyer can also leave tip to support a favorite author, cafe or shop.

“Payments Open and Freeware Platform – Telegram does not take commission and does not store payment information. Details are sent directly by the payment system, and the address for delivery – the seller so that he can send the goods,” the message says.

Connect your store to the payment platform, without negotiation with Telegram. All details are available in technical documentation for developers.
