Telegram and Stripe, ready to switch on
Every payment, refund, failed charge and dispute arrives in the Telegram group you choose with the amount and the customer, and one morning message carries yesterday's totals. You paste two keys in your account and it runs, in about ten minutes.
No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

What moves, and when
The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.
| What | Direction | When | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payment | Stripe to Telegram | Within seconds | Amount, currency and customer, with a link into Stripe for whoever wants the detail |
| Failed charge | Stripe to Telegram | Within seconds | The reason the bank gave, so somebody can write while the cart is still warm |
| Disputes | Stripe to Telegram | Within seconds | With the date the evidence is due, which is the part that costs money when it's missed |
| Daily total, pinned | Stripe to Telegram | Daily at 09:00, your time zone | Yesterday's takings pinned in the group, so the number sits at the top all day |
| Amounts are optional | Stripe to Telegram | Every message | If the group is wider than the finance team, the sums can be left out of the messages |

Before you decide
Which currency does a post show?
The one the payment was taken in, exactly as Stripe recorded it. If you sell in several, the currency is in every message so nobody adds euros to dollars in their head.
Can somebody open the payment from the post?
Yes, each message carries a link into Stripe. The person who needs the detail is one tap away from it, which is why the message itself can stay short.
Can we keep the amounts out of the group?
Yes. Some teams post only the event and the customer, and leave the sums to the people with a Stripe login. Say so while connecting and the messages go out without figures.
Is a group chat a sensible place for this?
Only a group you control. The messages carry amounts and customer names. Card details are never sent, and if the group is wider than the finance team the sums can be left out entirely.
Anything to know about Telegram?
A bot can't read messages sent before it was added to a chat, so old conversations stay where they are.
Anything to know about Stripe?
A restricted key with read access can only read. It can't move money, and we never ask for your secret key.
What if mine is a bit different?
