Tribute charges a flat 10% commission on all transactions. There are no setup, monthly, or hidden fees. You keep 90% of everything your subscribers pay, and you set your own prices.
No. Tribute is a verified service built natively into Telegram, so subscribers pay through the @Tribute bot inside the Telegram app they already use. There's no separate account, app, or website. They get a simple profile inside the bot where they can view and manage their subscriptions.
Subscribers can pay with cards from any bank and country, as well as with cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC, TON). For digital products, Telegram Stars are also supported. Payment methods are added and managed in the subscriber's profile inside the bot.
During setup you fill in your payment details, select your country, and choose how you'd like to get paid, either to a bank card or a crypto wallet. Payouts are sent twice a month, on the 10th and 25th (or the next working day). The minimum payout to a bank card is 100 Euros; if you don't reach it, the balance carries over to the next payout date. Once you reach the threshold, you can also request a payout manually from your Creator Dashboard.
Yes. You can offer several subscription plans with different billing periods (one-time, weekly, monthly, or yearly) and prices you set yourself. Tribute also supports free trials, discounted long-term plans, promo codes, and retention tools, so you can present subscribers with a range of options and manage them all from one dashboard.
Access continues until the end of the period they've already paid for, after which the bot stops billing and removes them from the private channel. Subscribers can cancel any time from their profile, where they can manage, renew, or cancel all their subscriptions. If a card is linked, the subscription renews automatically; if not, the bot sends a renewal reminder instead.
Almost certainly. Tribute accepts payments from users 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.
Tribute is verified by Telegram (it carries the blue verification checkmark) and is built natively into the app. Unlike a generic bot, it handles the entire payment and access flow automatically: it sends invoices, processes payments without any external payment provider, adds and removes members from private channels, manages renewals and reminders, and gives you a Creator Dashboard where all your subscriptions, donations, products, and transaction data live in one place.
