No. Tribute is not a print-on-demand or production service. You create and source your own physical products, and Tribute provides the storefront, checkout, and payment handling inside Telegram.
No, fulfillment stays with you as the seller. Tribute handles the sale and collects the customer's delivery details at checkout, including letting shoppers pick a convenient pickup point on an interactive map, but you pack and send the order yourself.
Tribute doesn't automatically pull live carrier rates. You set up your product and its pricing, and the bot collects the customer's chosen delivery address or pickup point so you can arrange dispatch. You decide how shipping is priced and factored into your product cost.
Any merchandise you can ship, such as printed t-shirts, branded goods, and other physical items. You can also set up multiple variants of a product, with the listing price taken from the cheapest variant. In effect, you can build a small online store for your merch entirely within Telegram.
The standard commission is a flat 10% on the sale, with no setup or monthly fees. Tribute occasionally runs reduced-commission promotions on physical product sales, so the effective rate can be lower during those periods.
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.
For physical products, customers pay by card in just a few clicks, using cards from any bank and country, without leaving Telegram.
No. Tribute processes payments natively inside Telegram, so you don't connect any external payment provider like Stripe or PayPal.
The automated refund flow inside Tribute covers purchases made with Telegram Stars. For physical product orders paid by card, returns and refunds are arranged directly between you and the customer, and you can contact Tribute support to process a refund where needed.
Tribute accepts payments from customers in over 190 countries with no restrictions on where payments can be made, and supports creators across 100+ countries. For physical products specifically, your reach also depends on where you're able to ship, since you handle delivery. You select your country during setup, which determines your available payout options.
