FAQ
- What digital products can I sell on Tribute?
A digital product is a piece of content you upload and sell. It can be text, a photo, video, audio, a location, or an attached file (JPEG, PNG, MP4, PDF, TXT, MP3, WAV, WAVE, SVG). Essentially anything that can be sent inside Telegram works, which covers ebooks, guides, presets, templates, courses, checklists, and similar files.
- How much does Tribute charge for selling digital products?
Tribute charges a flat 10% commission on the sale. There are no setup, monthly, or hidden fees, so you keep 90% of each sale.
- How do customers receive the product after purchase?
Delivery is automatic and instant. As soon as the payment goes through, the Tribute bot sends the content straight to the customer inside Telegram, with no manual step on your side.
- Can I sell custom or personalized products?
Each digital product is a fixed piece of content you set up in advance, and the same content is delivered automatically to every buyer. Tribute is built for that automated one-to-many delivery rather than made-to-order items, so if you offer truly personalized work, you’d typically arrange the custom part with the customer directly and use the product listing for the standard deliverable.
- Do my customers need a Tribute account to buy?
No. Tribute is a verified service built natively into Telegram, so customers buy through the @Tribute bot inside the Telegram app they already use. There’s no separate account, app, or external website.
- What payment methods can my customers use?
Digital products are purchased with Telegram Stars. Customers can buy Stars through in-app purchases on the App Store or Google Play, or with a bank card on Telegram desktop, and then use them to complete the purchase in one tap without leaving the app.
- Do I need a Stripe or PayPal account?
No. Tribute handles the entire payment flow natively inside Telegram, so you don’t connect any external payment provider like Stripe or PayPal.
- How do I get paid?
For digital products, you set your price in Euros and receive payouts in USDT to your @wallet. Payouts are sent twice a month once you reach the minimum payout threshold, and you keep the full amount minus Tribute’s 10% commission. During setup you fill in your payment details and choose how you’d like to get paid.
- Is Tribute available in my country?
Almost certainly. Tribute accepts payments from customers in over 190 countries and supports creators across 100+ countries, with no restrictions on where payments can be made. You select your country during setup, which determines your available payout options.
