Telegram bot, how to charge subscriptions?

Hi community,

Reaching out for the community knowledge.

I’m currently working on a new project idea💡, currently in a design/investigation phase.

My project is a telegram bot that will delivery daily news for different categories to a Telegram user that subscribes for them and they can also request them ad-hoc by sending a message to the bot.

I’ve been reading the Telegram API and have my first draft of the bot, receiving webhook notifications.

I can charge single payments from Telegram with the Payments API (and Stripe) but it seems I cannot setup subscriptions.

I don’t want to implement a site with account creation and all that logic, just a landing page for sales and marketing and manage the accounts right from Telegram.

My solution for now is to offer payment options that grant access for one, three and six months and then sent another payment request on Telegram when that time expires.

Would love to hear some ideas on this.
