Troubleshooting

"I don't have enough Stars" You need to buy more Stars first (Step 2). The Subly Starter plan costs 385 Stars (~$5).

"The payment button doesn't show" Make sure you're using the latest version of Telegram. Update the app if needed.

"My plan didn't activate after payment" Stars payments process instantly. Type /status in @subly1bot to check your plan. If it still shows free, contact support by typing /help.

"I want a refund" Telegram Stars purchases are generally non-refundable per Telegram's policy. Contact @subly1bot with /help and we'll try to assist.

"Can I pay with a credit card instead?" Stars is the primary payment method inside Telegram. This is Telegram's policy for digital goods sold through bots.

Why Stars? (vs card payment)

Telegram Stars is: - ✅ Private: No credit card details stored anywhere - ✅ Instant: Plan activates in seconds after confirmation - ✅ Secure: Telegram processes the payment, not Subly - ✅ Works globally: Available in 100+ countries including Russia, Iran, UAE
