Opening the app for the first time
Find @tgpaycryptobot in Telegram search, open the chat, and tap Start. Your wallet is created on the spot — there’s nothing to register and no password to choose.
If the bot or app asks you to join the news channel, open it using the button, join in Telegram, then return to the wallet. Your membership is checked automatically.
The welcome message
The bot replies with a short welcome and a grid of buttons. They open the Mini App on the corresponding screen; Support opens the support chat inside the app:
- Wallet — your balances and the main screen
- Exchange — swap between assets
- Checks — redeemable crypto links
- Invoices — invoices and payment requests
- Merchant API — tools for accepting payments
- Giveaways and Subscriptions
- Stars
- Settings and Support
- Fees and limits
If you close the message, send /menu in the chat to bring the grid back. /start works too.
Inside the app
The wallet opens as a full-screen Mini App. On a narrow screen, the bottom tab bar has Wallet on the left, More on the right, and one to three tabs in between that you choose yourself (they start as Exchange, Agent and Stars). The home screen shows your total balance and a row of quick-action tiles — Receive, Send, and Withdraw to begin with.
On wider screens, navigation moves to the side.
Both the middle tabs and the quick-action tiles are yours to rearrange: More → Customize menu.
Everything else lives under More: Settings, Profile, Security, Verification, Saved addresses, Support, About, and the additional services.
Adding your first funds
Tap Receive, pick the asset and the network, and send to the address shown. Use exactly the asset and network shown, and include the memo if required. A wrong network or missing memo can prevent crediting or cause loss of funds. The full walkthrough is in how to receive crypto.
If the app doesn’t open
- Update Telegram — Mini Apps need a reasonably recent version.
- Try the Telegram mobile app on iOS or Android. A few features, including the phone-sharing dialog and biometrics, aren’t available on every desktop client.
- Make sure you opened the bot from Telegram itself, not from a link someone forwarded you claiming to be the wallet.
Opening the wallet in a browser
After linking a backup email and setting a PIN in the Mini App, open app.tgpaycrypto.com in your browser. Sign in with the code sent to that email and your wallet PIN. A new browser may also require approval in Telegram or a code from your linked authenticator. Some Telegram features are unavailable in the browser — see browser access.
Getting help
Agent opens a chat with our support team. Use that channel rather than anyone who messages you first.
