Is eStars for Telegram channels or bots?

The strongest fit right now is Telegram AI bots, service bots and Mini Apps with paid usage, not just paid channels.

Do I need Telegram Stars?

For digital goods inside Telegram, Stars is the default rail by default, and this is what eStars positioning is built on.

Is eStars public self-serve?

The current release path uses staged access so payment, support, pricing and data boundaries can be reviewed before broader self-serve access.

Terms

eStars staged-release payment terms

Name: eStars
Availability: LimitedAvailability
Author: eStars

These terms cover staged paid-release access for Telegram-native monetization operations. Final commercial terms remain review-gated before broader access opens.

Bot-specific digital goods and internal credits

eStars helps Telegram-native operators manage bot-specific access, usage units, quotas and related post-payment operations. End users buy or receive offers that are specific to the connected bot. Credits are internal metering and accounting units used to track paid operations; they are not cash, stored value, a withdrawal balance or a transferable product.

Payments and delivery

Telegram Stars payments are confirmed through Telegram payment events. After a payment is confirmed, eStars records the event, updates the related access, usage allowance or internal accounting state and keeps an audit trail for duplicate handling, support and reconciliation.

Telegram relationship

eStars uses Telegram Stars payment events for Telegram-native digital goods workflows. eStars is not affiliated with Telegram and does not act on Telegram's behalf.

Refunds and disputes

Refund requests are reviewed manually before any Telegram Stars refund action is taken. A refund may revoke related access, correct internal accounting balances and create audit records. Completed digital operations or used usage units may affect the refund outcome, and review does not guarantee approval.

Support and contact

For payment application, access or refund questions, contact [email protected]. For privacy or personal data requests, contact [email protected]. Do not send passwords, bot tokens, webhook secrets, private keys or full payment credentials by email or in public comments.
