Creator Studio | Asset marketplace
Sell Mini Apps, bots, channels, and groups you control on TG.app. Buyers pay in Telegram Stars only. Funds sit in escrow for 21 days, then you receive a ledger credit (minus platform fee) that you can withdraw as TON.
Why Stars only
- Digital goods inside Telegram must use Stars (App Store / Play Store rules).
- Fragment holds earned Stars for 21 days before withdrawal. That window covers chargebacks and lets TG.app refund a failed transfer via
refundStarPayment. - Bot API cannot split an invoice to another Telegram user. TG.app receives Stars on the platform bot, then pays sellers through the existing USDT ledger → TON payout path (same pattern as community ad revenue).
List something for sale
- Open the listing in My Apps or Channels & Groups.
- Use Sell this listing: price in Stars, sale description, and included assets checklist (graphics, codebase, repository, server, BotFather, admins, DNS, secrets, other).
- Publish. The listing appears on /marketplace and shows a Buy CTA on the public catalog page.
Offers
Anyone can send a Make an offer price (in Stars) on a claimed listing, even if it is not published for sale. You accept or reject in Creator Studio → Marketplace. Payment starts only after acceptance.
Deal flow
- Buyer pays the full Stars amount upfront.
- Deal enters escrow / transfer. Both sides mark checklist items (seller hands over, buyer confirms).
- When required items are confirmed (or both sides complete transfer), TG.app moves catalog ownership (
creatorId) to the buyer. - After 21 days from payment, a cron credits your wallet (price minus platform fee). Fee default is 10% (admin-configurable).
If the buyer arrived through Telegram's official Stars affiliate program, Telegram pays that affiliate 5% of the Stars. TG.app covers that from the platform fee. Your credit is still the sale price minus the platform fee. TON, USDT, and card are not used for marketplace checkout.
