You send the photo.
We take the payment.
One webhook from your bot. FanPay locks the photo in the fan's chat, takes the payment, delivers it the moment they pay, and answers your fans' payment questions.
One webhook in.
Paid photo out.
Your bot sends us the photo, the price and the fan. Everything between that request and money in your balance is ours.
- We lock it in the chat. The fan gets the photo blurred, with an Unlock button, sent from your own bot.
- We take the payment. Checkout, tax and receipts, all on our side.
- We deliver and tell you. The photo goes to the fan and your server gets a
payment.succeededevent.

From upload
to delivered.
No bot of your own? Make a link in the dashboard. Three steps: you do the first one, the other two happen on their own every time a fan buys.
Create a link
Upload the photo, set a price and pick how the preview looks.
Share it in any chat
Paste it into a DM, a group or your channel. Fans see a locked preview.
The bot delivers
After a confirmed payment, our bot sends the original file to the buyer's chat.
A decline isn't
a lost sale.
Connect the processors you already use, or use ours. When one declines, FanPay retries the same payment on the next one, and the fan never types their card again.
- Your order, your rules. Set which processor goes first by country, card type or amount.
- Retries that make sense. Soft declines go to the next processor; hard declines stop, so you don't burn the card.
- Invisible to the fan. They tap Pay once and see one result.
Fans ask us.
Not your chatters.
Payment questions, refunds and missing photos come to FanPay's support team. Your team stays on selling.
- Missing photo? We find the payment and send it again from the delivery log.
- Refunds and disputes. Handled by us, with you copied on every decision.
- Chargeback evidence. Built from the payment and delivery record, ready to send.
Every sale,
tracked in one place.

Good
questions.
Something else? Write to us at [hello@your-domain] and a person will answer.
Does the fan need an account?+
No. They tap the link or the Unlock button, pay with a card or wallet, and the photo lands in the same Telegram chat. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
How does the bot know who paid?+
The link carries the buyer's Telegram account when they open it from the chat, so the payment and the chat are tied together before they pay.
Can a buyer forward the photo?+
Only if you let them. Switch on protected delivery per link and Telegram blocks forwarding and saving from the chat.
What happens if a payment fails?+
Nothing is sent. The fan sees the reason on the checkout and can try another card. The bot only delivers after a confirmed payment.
Can I refund a sale?+
Yes, in one tap from your sales list. The money goes back to the fan's card and the sale shows as refunded.
When do I get my money?+
Every day. Sales up to midnight are paid out the next morning, and the bot sends you a summary of what sold.
Can I sell more than one photo?+
Yes. Make a link per photo, or bundle a set of up to 20 into one link. The bot delivers them as a single album.
