Overview
Manual paid media sends one locked Telegram offer to the selected fan. The offer can contain one or several prepared photos and videos, has one Stars price, and remains locked until Telegram reports a purchase.
- Select compatible paid assets from Gallery.
- Set and confirm the Stars price before delivery.
- Distinguish a sent locked offer from a purchased offer.
Before you start
- Select the Telegram account you intend to manage in the dashboard bot selector.
- Confirm that the fan has sent a new message to the connected Secretary Mode profile.
- Prepare Gallery media for the selected Telegram account before attaching it to a message.
- The selected bot must satisfy the wallet and Telegram delivery checks shown in the composer.
- Do not include audio in a paid photo or video bundle.
Step by step
- Open the fan conversation and review whether another paid offer is already waiting for payment.
- Select one to ten Telegram-ready photos or videos from the same bot Gallery.
- Choose a shared bundle price or review the price controls shown by the composer.
- Preview the locked offer, caption, media count, and Stars amount before sending.
- After delivery, monitor the message bubble and PPV history for locked or purchased status.
How it works
These are the product rules and states that matter for this workflow.
| What to know | Telestars behavior |
|---|---|
| Bundle size | A manual paid offer supports from 1 to 10 photos or videos. |
| One unlock | A paid bundle is delivered as one Stars offer and unlocks as one purchase. |
| Purchase authority | The offer remains locked until Telegram purchase evidence is received. |
| Wallet checks | Paid delivery is preflighted against the selected bot, wallet, media readiness, and duplicate-offer state. |
Verify the result
- Confirm the outgoing message appears in both the Fan Inbox and the intended Telegram conversation.
- Check that the sender, media state, price, and purchase status are represented correctly.
- Verify that every manual action stayed inside the selected bot and team-member scope.
Troubleshooting
| If you see this | What to check |
|---|---|
| A previous offer blocks the send | Resolve or review the existing Waiting Payment offer before creating another paid payload. |
| Telegram rejects the paid media | Repair the asset preview or Telegram variant in Gallery, then retry with a compatible photo or video. |
| The fan says they paid but the card is locked | Do not mark it purchased manually; refresh purchase state and collect the bot, fan, screenshot, and approximate purchase time for support. |
Best practice
Keep the selected bot, fan, and current paid offer visible while replying so manual work never conflicts with the active Telegram conversation state.
