How to order bot or Mini App starts

Step by step on the bot's screens: token, your own link, limit, moderation, and start.

Updated October 16, 20262 min read2 views

Starts bring new users to your Telegram bot or Mini App. The price is from 1 ₽ per counted start; it's charged after each start.

Before you start

  • Access to your bot in @BotFather — you'll need its token.
  • Money on your balance. Nothing is reserved in advance.

How to order starts

Your own link — optional

Send a link to the bot with a parameter: t.me/your_bot?start=… or t.me/your_bot?startapp=… for a Mini App — this way MGRAM users show up in your analytics. No link of your own — tap “Skip”.

What happens next

  • The higher the price per start, the more often your bot is shown to users.
  • The card shows how many people started the bot and how much was spent.

Starts are never refunded: a start counts when the person opened the bot, even if they block it later.
