How to Set Up a Telegram Bot to Accept Payments (No Code, 2026)

Quick answer: create a bot with @BotFather, connect it to a no-code platform like TeleCrow, enable the balance/top-up payment option (including crypto), set your prices, and the bot collects payment in-chat and delivers automatically. Here are the steps.

Step 1: Create the bot

Message @BotFather, send /newbot, and copy your bot token.

Step 2: Connect & enable payments

Paste the token into TeleCrow, pick the Digital Product or Access Control template, and turn on balance/top-up payments (USDT supported).

Step 3: Add products & launch

Set prices and items; the bot charges in-chat and auto-delivers on payment — no servers, no code.
