How to charge for Telegram access with mobile money

Quick answer

Create a Telegram access plan, send members to your Unloka storefront, let them pay through the supported mobile-money checkout flow, then use Unloka to deliver access and track when that access should expire.

Create access plans

The creator defines what a member gets and how long access lasts. Plans should be clear: name, amount, currency, and access period.

Member opens the storefront

Instead of sending a screenshot request, the member opens the public storefront and chooses the plan that matches the access they want.

Member pays

The member enters checkout details and pays through the supported payment method. Mobile money pricing is 8%; card payment pricing is 10.5%.

Telegram access flow

After payment confirmation, the member completes the Telegram handoff so access is linked to the right Telegram account where possible.

Expiry and withdrawals

Unloka tracks the paid period. Creator earnings can be withdrawn when available, with a KES 50 withdrawal fee.

Important boundary

Unloka facilitates payments and access automation. It does not guarantee creator content quality, member satisfaction, or mediate creator-member disputes.
