Connecting CoinPayments to InviteMember lets you accept crypto payments in Telegram with your membership bot.

CoinPayments is a global crypto payment gateway that lets you accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and thousands of other cryptocurrencies easily.

Follow the sections below to start accepting crypto in Telegram easy.

1. Create a CoinPayments account

  • Go to coinpayments.net and sign up for a free account.

  • Verify your email address to activate the account.

2. Create a new integration

To link CoinPayments with InviteMember, create a new API integration in your CoinPayments dashboard:

  1. Open your CoinPayments Dashboard → Integrations

  2. Click Add Integration → API Integration

  3. Enter your integration Name

  4. Store URL can be your membership landing page link (like https://im.page/YourProject)

  5. Set permissions: choose None, then enable only Create Invoice

  6. Click Create

  7. You’ll get the API URL, Client ID, and Client Secret — you’ll need to send them to the bot.
    Note: Keep the window open until you finish connecting everything in the bot. If you close it, you’ll need to create a new integration to get the Client Secret.

3. Connect in InviteMember

You can connect your CoinPayments account to your web dashboard > Settings > Payment options > Add + > COINPAYMENTS.

You'll have to enter your Live API URL, Live Client ID and Live Client Secret here.

4. Check the CoinPayments Button

  • You’ll now see a CoinPayments option in your bot and project page

  • Members can pick any cryptocurrency on the checkout page

5. Testing (Optional)

  • In test accounts, only Litecoin Test (LTCT) works

  • You can get free test coins in your CoinPayments wallet

  • Try a test purchase and pay with LTCT

  • You’ll see the payment in your dashboard

Legacy CoinPayments

The old CoinPayments (Legacy) integration still works, but we recommend switching. Why switch:

  • Legacy may stop working eventually

  • New checkout lets users change crypto easily in checkout page

  • No need to refresh coin lists and set IPN

  • Easier setup and faster payments

✅ That’s it! You’re ready to accept crypto payments with the new CoinPayments integration.
