Sendlify Pay

Sendlify Pay is a crypto payment terminal integrated directly into Telegram. Accept cryptocurrency payments from your customers with ease.

Getting Started​

First Time?​

Sendlify Pay is available in two versions:

  • Testnet: For testing cryptocurrency payments

    • Bot: @testnet_pay_sendlifyBot
    • Use with Testnet wallets (e.g., Tonkeeper testnet)
    • Perfect for trying out all features risk-free

  • Production: For real cryptocurrency transactions

    • Bot: @pay_sendlifyBot
    • Currently in development
    • Coming soon for live transactions

We recommend starting with testnet to familiarize yourself with Sendlify Pay before moving to production.

In this guide, we'll walk through the testnet setup. Everything works the same way in production once it's available.

Connecting Your Wallet​

Step 1: Open Testnet Bot​

Open the testnet bot: @testnet_pay_sendlifyBot

When you first enter the bot, you'll see the main screen with several options.

Step 2: Connect a Wallet​

  1. Tap Settings → Wallet
  2. You'll see a message: "To accept payments, you need to connect your wallet. Only Tonkeeper is supported in the test network (Testnet)."
  3. Tap the Connect Wallet button
note

Testnet Requirement: In testnet, only Tonkeeper wallets are supported. Make sure you're using a testnet wallet in Tonkeeper, not a mainnet wallet.

Step 3: Successful Connection​

Once your wallet is connected, you'll see:

  • Your wallet balance (e.g., 0.62 TON)
  • A green checkmark with "Ready to receive funds"
  • Your wallet address

Setting Up Your Terminal​

Step 1: Access Terminal Settings​

  1. Go to Settings → Terminal Settings
  2. You'll see Main terminal (testnet) with status: online

Step 2: Configure Payment Currency​

In Terminal Settings:

  • Payment currency: Currently set to TON
  • This is the primary cryptocurrency you'll accept through Sendlify Pay

Terminal settings can be customized based on your needs. You can manage multiple terminals and adjust settings as needed.
