FAQ
- What are the main advantages of Tribute?
Tribute is a Telegram-native monetization service. Everything happens inside the messenger, so creators never have to redirect their audience to external platforms. There are no subscription fees or monthly charges to use the service. Creators only pay a flat 10% commission on completed transactions. Key advantages include: payments accepted from cards issued by any bank in any country, cryptocurrency support (USDT, BTC, TON), no hidden fees, and a creator dashboard for managing subscriptions, donations, digital products, and physical goods with built-in statistics.
- How do I start using the service?
1. Open the bot.
2. Tap "Start" to activate the bot.
3. Add the bot as an admin to one or more channels or groups. Make sure it has permissions to send, edit, and delete messages, as well as create invite links.
4. Set up your monetization tools (subscriptions, donations, digital or physical products) by following the in-app instructions.
5. Enter your payment details, select your country, and choose how you'd like to receive payouts.
6. Let your audience know about the new ways they can support you and access exclusive content.
- How are payouts processed?
Creators receive payouts twice a month, on the 10th and the 25th (or the next business day). Each payout covers a specific period: the 1st–15th and the 16th–end of the month. The minimum payout amount to a bank card is €100. If the balance hasn't reached the minimum, it carries over to the next payout date. Payouts in cryptocurrency are also available.
- Are there any limits on the amount of payment?
Yes. The minimum amount a subscriber can send is €1. For donations, the maximum one-time amount is €2,000. For subscriptions, the maximum price is €3,000. Creators set their own prices within these limits.
- Are there any hidden fees?
No. Tribute charges a flat 10% fee on digital sales (subscriptions, donations, digital products) and 8% on physical product sales. That's it — no monthly subscription, no setup costs, no listing fees, no charges for creating or publishing offers. You only pay when you earn.
- Does the 10% include payment processing fees, or are those extra?
Yes — the 10% is all-inclusive. Payment processing, currency conversion, and platform costs are all covered within that single fee, so what you see is what you pay.
- What currencies do you support?
Creators can set prices in multiple currencies including EUR, USD, and others, and subscribers can pay in their local currency through supported payment methods. Payouts are available in EUR to bank accounts and cards, or in crypto (USDT, TON, and others) to your wallet.
- Is there a fee for withdrawing to crypto vs bank?
Both payout methods are included in the standard 10% / 8% platform fee — Tribute doesn't charge an additional withdrawal fee. Note that external network fees may apply: bank transfers may incur standard banking fees depending on your bank, and crypto withdrawals include a network (gas) fee that varies by blockchain.
- What happens if a subscriber requests a refund?
Refund policies are set by each creator — you decide whether to offer refunds and under what conditions for your subscriptions and products. If you issue a refund, the Tribute platform fee on that transaction is also refunded to you, so you're not charged for sales that didn't go through. In cases of chargebacks or disputes initiated through the payment provider, Tribute assists with documentation and resolution.
- Can I change my pricing anytime?
Yes. You have full control over your pricing and can update it whenever you want: raise or lower subscription prices, change donation tiers, or adjust product prices directly from your creator dashboard. When you update a subscription price, the new price applies only to new subscribers. Existing subscribers continue to be charged at the rate they originally signed up for, so no one gets charged more than what they agreed to.
- Do you charge anything if I don't earn in a given month?
No. Tribute is pay-as-you-go — if you don't earn, you don't pay. There are no monthly fees, minimum earnings requirements, or inactivity charges. Your account stays active regardless of your earnings, so you can come back and start earning anytime without penalties
