How Unloka works

Quick answer

Unloka lets a creator connect a Telegram group or channel, publish paid access plans on a storefront, collect member payments, deliver Telegram access, track expiry, and withdraw cleared earnings.

Creator flow

The creator connects a Telegram destination, fixes bot permission warnings, creates one or more access plans, and publishes the storefront link.

Member flow

A member opens the storefront, selects a plan, enters the details needed for payment and access, then follows the Telegram handoff after payment confirmation.

Payment flow

Payments are tied to storefront plans. Unloka pricing is 8% on mobile money payments, 10.5% on card payments, and KES 50 per withdrawal.

Telegram access flow

After payment, Unloka helps deliver access to the Telegram group or channel through the supported Telegram workflow and records the access state.

Expiry and removal flow

Access plans have a paid period. Unloka tracks expiry and can remove expired Telegram access when permissions and Telegram state allow.

Withdrawal flow

Creator earnings move through wallet records. Creators can request withdrawals for eligible balances using configured payout methods.

Limitations

Unloka does not create content, guarantee buyer satisfaction, mediate creator-member disputes, or promise automatic recurring billing unless the product explicitly supports it.
