Overview
Waiting Payment starts only after a paid-media card is successfully delivered. Every follow-up remains attached to that same locked media until purchase or the configured negotiation boundary closes the attempt.
- Recognize the one active paid offer in a conversation.
- Keep negotiation grounded in the current card and price.
- Explain Telegram Stars without inventing an external payment route.
Before you start
- Select the bot and creator that will use the Script.
- Prepare usable media in Gallery before adding media-based steps.
- Decide whether the bot sells Telegram paid media or uses a configured Sell Link path.
Step by step
- Open the conversation and identify the latest successfully delivered paid-media card.
- Confirm the card is still locked and has no recorded purchase.
- Review its exact current Stars price, media context, and active Voice Preset.
- Answer the fan objection or hesitation, then return naturally to the value of that same media.
- If an authorized discount is used, confirm the same card is resent before referring to its new lower price.
How it works
These are the product rules and states that matter for this workflow.
| What to know | Telestars behavior |
|---|---|
| One active offer | Waiting Payment negotiates only the exact paid media already sent in the current Telegram chat. |
| Locked truth | Until purchase is confirmed, Telestars cannot claim the fan viewed, enjoyed, or reacted to the locked content. |
| Payment destination | The fan unlocks the existing card with Telegram Stars in the same chat; no alternate site, wallet, or profile is invented. |
| Current price | The visible card price is authoritative even when the fan or older messages mention another amount. |
| Discount | A lower amount becomes real only after the same media is successfully resent at an authorized price. |
Verify the result
- Every follow-up refers to the same media type, count, context, and current card.
- The reply does not claim purchase, viewing, access, or delivery that Telegram has not confirmed.
- No new Gallery bundle, Script offer, or Sell Link replaces the active paid media.
Troubleshooting
| If you see this | What to check |
|---|---|
| A Script exists but is not used | Check that it is active, has usable steps, and meets the media or Sell Link requirements for the bot. |
| A step is due but does not send | Check media readiness, Telegram permissions, manual takeover, active follow-ups, and the current Waiting Payment state. |
| The next step appears too early | Check Transition Timing, the full conversation, and whether the exact step was legally available for this fan. |
Best practice
Launch with one fully verified Script before adding more paths, then test every delivery and purchase transition in Telegram.
