💳 Setting Up Payment Methods

Botoscope supports multiple payment methods that allow your customers to pay directly inside the Telegram bot — fast, safe, and simple.

⚙️ Where to Configure

  1. Go to the “Payments” tab in the admin panel.
  2. You will see a list of available payment methods.
  3. Use the switcher to activate the method(s) you want to offer.
  4. Click the “Settings” button next to the chosen method to configure required parameters.

💼 Supported Payment Methods

  • 💳 Stripe — fast integration with minimal setup  (opens a secure browser window for payment)
  • 💰 PayPal — requires Client ID and Client Secret
  • 💸 LiqPay — supports Ukrainian bank cards
  • 🏦 Bank Transfer — no real-time payment, but order is created with payment instructions
  • 🏷 Bank Card (Manual) — similar to bank transfer, used for local/offline payments
  • 🧾 PayForMe — special link-based method (see separate article)

📲 Payment Experience Inside Telegram

  • All methods except Stripe support in-bot checkout — payment is done inside the Telegram window.
  • Stripe opens an external browser window due to Telegram’s restrictions.

🏦 Manual Payment Types

Methods like Bank Transfer and Manual Card Payment do not process payments automatically, but allow the order to be placed.

In the settings, you can provide custom payment instructions, such as:

  • Bank account details
  • Card number for transfer
  • Any additional notes

🔗 PayForMe Option

Botoscope supports the “Pay For Me” option, where you can:

  • Create a custom order
  • Generate a payment link
  • Send it to a friend, customer, or business partner

They can pay for the order directly, and you’ll be notified once payment is complete.

👉 For details, see: Using the PayForMe Feature

✅ After Setup

  • Test the checkout flow after enabling payment methods.
  • Make sure you see the correct options at checkout and that orders are created properly.
