Rather than downvoting my message, could you please give me

feedback regarding it? As I said, I may well be wrong. If so, I'd like to hear how this bot actually does what it claims to.

I think @ItDidNotWork wanted you to check how that bot solves its "premium" features and how they did payments there (spoiler alert: it's a total mess)

Oh okay, fair enough. It does seem to mention an /upgrade command in the description. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get to that point though. I could take a peek at its source code if available (something tells me it's probably not open source though), but I don't think I'd be willing to pay for a feature I can implement myself in 50-100 lines of code, and restrict to my UID only. However, I'd be more than willing to be shown the interaction flow this bot uses, by someone who did purchase it!

Well, it tells you to click a link and pay there, it's a huge wall of text though and there are multiple links that depend on what you want to buy I'm not going to but the idea is basically what's been already told which is doing the payment gateway inside browser

well it's the only public bot on Telegram that does that. https://t.me/Robots/66 also, @Indians don't have access to Telegram Payments yet 😐😐

I'm not bashing the solution, I'm just saying it's being presented in a very unintuitive way

Oh my, yikes! 😆 Seems like they're really overselling the whole application flow I alluded to in my previous message (parse URL, wget, send to chat). I guess it is possible to make payments happen, but if it's like this.. it does seem very convoluted and nowhere near Telegram's Bot API. And callbacks to a bot.. well for authorization maybe, if there's some string of text you can copy into the bot or whatever. But that'd have more to do with the bot's own code than Telegram's Bot API. Side note: I've started this bot now, and was immediately greeted with a promotional message for Udemy courses. Yikes on bikes!

Same, first thing i saw was an ad
