Dear Bot Developer,
Apple has informed Telegram that @fStikBot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services directly from customers without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism.
To ensure that Telegram bots/mini apps such as yours continue operating without interruption on all platforms, we have developed a way for third-party developers on Telegram to accept payments from their customers that is compliant with the App Store and Play Store policies.
To this end, we are rolling out a new in-app currency, Telegram Stars, which users will be able to acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you. Developers will be able to review their Telegram Stars balance and withdraw them at any time using the TON blockchain.
Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. Since Telegram has to follow the Guidelines imposed on us by the app stores, failure to comply with these changes will result in the suspension of @fStikBot for most of your customers.
We will publish the full updated API documentation within the next few days, but you can already prepare your bots and mini-apps for the upcoming changes. To accept payments for digital goods and services, you will need to use the sendInvoice or createInvoiceLink methods with the
We expect these changes to positively impact the conversion rate for payments from customers in most markets.
Payments for physical goods and services remain unchanged.
More details will be published on @botnews soon.

Dear Bot Developer,
As previously announced, Apple has informed Telegram that @fStikBot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism – this has never been allowed on Telegram.
To allow all affected bots to continue operating without interruption, we are rolling out Telegram Stars, an in-app currency users will be able to acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you.
Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. If digital goods and services can be purchased for your bot or mini app on other platforms (including from your external website), the same goods and services must also be available for purchase with Telegram Stars, in compliance with Apple Review Guideline 3.1.3(b).
⚠️ Note that payments for physical goods and services are unaffected by this change and can continue operating as usual.
For more details, see this post on @BotNews and the updated API documentation.
