Stars payments are not Stripe with a paper airplane

Stars checkout happens inside Telegram. That is the point and the constraint. You do not get Stripe’s dashboard, dispute letters, or a generic card form you can restyle at will.

What you do get: a payment the user already understands, in the app they did not leave. For Mini Apps that sell a digital thing in-chat, that beats sending someone to a website they will not finish.

Halakou wires Stars when the product actually charges. If the brief is “we will add payments later,” the honest site copy says that. This company page will not invent a processing volume or a fake “trusted by” row to look bigger.
