PRISMРусская версияHow to pay in PRISM with Telegram Stars
Use Telegram Stars to buy Credits or eligible upgrades in the PRISM Mini App with a short, native Telegram checkout flow.
Telegram Stars provide a native payment route inside Telegram. If you use PRISM as a Mini App, eligible Credits packages and upgrades can display a Stars option alongside other supported methods.
Open the purchase in Telegram
Launch PRISM from the official Telegram bot and navigate to the Credits package or server upgrade you want. Choose Telegram Stars from the available payment methods.
PRISM asks Telegram to create an invoice for the selected item. The invoice opens inside the Telegram environment, so you do not need to copy a blockchain address or choose a crypto network.
Review the Telegram invoice
Check the item and Stars amount displayed by Telegram. Confirm only if the invoice matches the purchase you selected in PRISM. Telegram handles the authorization with the Stars balance connected to your Telegram account.
If your Stars balance is not sufficient, Telegram can show its own balance purchase flow. The exact options depend on your account, platform and regional availability.
Let PRISM confirm the purchase
After payment, return to PRISM and keep the purchase flow open while the app checks the authoritative result. Your Credits balance or upgrade state refreshes after the backend receives Telegram's successful payment event.
Avoid closing the Mini App immediately after authorization. If the interface does not update at once, reopen the relevant screen and refresh the current balance rather than paying for the same item again.
When Stars are a good choice
Stars are useful when you already work inside Telegram and want a short checkout without handling wallet addresses. Crypto may still be preferable when you want to pay from a specific asset or connected wallet. PRISM presents the methods that are enabled for the selected purchase, so you can choose the route that fits the current situation.
Stars earned from referral payments
If a referral pays with Telegram Stars, an eligible referrer receives their commission in Stars. The Stars asset appears at the bottom of the PRISM Wallet and has no market chart. It cannot be withdrawn directly, but it can be swapped for another supported asset or Credits.
The Wallet uses a separate exchange rate from checkout. Its current default is 100 Stars = $1.20, reflecting the platform costs associated with Stars. The effective exchange value is shown before you confirm a swap.
