For course creators

Sell your online course inside Telegram, get paid in USDT

You teach something — copywriting, options trading, prompt engineering, Python, kettlebell — and the people who care about it most are already in your Telegram channel or group. Right now the buy path probably runs through Teachable, Kajabi, or Thinkific: post a link, ask engaged readers to leave the chat, sign up for an account they don't want, type their card into a page they've never seen. AllScale Store collapses that into a tap inside Telegram. The bot DMs the student their course materials the moment payment clears on-chain.

Why the checkout belongs in the chat, not on a separate site

Four things shift when your enrolment flow lives where your audience already is.

The student stops abandoning the funnel. Course hosts have a known problem: a curious reader clicks a link in your channel, hits a Teachable or Kajabi landing page, sees an account-creation form, and bounces. You lose a chunk of warm intent at the page load. A bot button asks one question — pay or not — and the student answers it without leaving the conversation they already trust.

You keep close to 100% of the price. Teachable's Basic plan charges 5% per transaction on top of $39/month. Kajabi starts at $149/month. Thinkific takes a cut on its free plan and gates features otherwise. With AllScale Store you set the price in USDT, the student pays, and that USDT lands in your own wallet — no platform percentage, no monthly fee. Honest trade-offs: you pay on-chain gas (a few cents on TRC-20 or Solana, more on Ethereum), and you need somewhere to off-ramp USDT if you want fiat. For a creator selling a $99 course, keeping the full $99 instead of $94 starts mattering on the second sale.

Delivery is built in, not bolted on. Upload your course outline PDF, your week-one workbook, a ZIP of slide decks, or a license-key file once on the dashboard (up to 20 MB). The bot sends it as a Telegram document the moment the on-chain payment confirms. Need to deliver access to a private student channel? Upload a text file with the one-time invite link. No Zapier zaps, no Mailchimp automation, no exporting an orders CSV every Sunday night to figure out who needs onboarding.

It works inside your cohort group, not just DMs. Course creators usually run a Telegram group for students — Q&A, accountability, alumni chat. AllScale Store uses Telegram's force_reply mechanism so the bot can take payments in groups without reading the rest of the conversation. Practically: the same bot can sit in your free-preview channel and your paid cohort group, and existing students top up for the next cohort from the place they already hang out.

Four course shapes this works for

1. A $29 mini-course as a single PDF

You've got a 3,500-member channel built around one niche skill, and a short PDF that teaches one specific thing well. Today: you pitch the course, link to a Podia landing page, watch ~20% of click-throughs actually finish checkout. With AllScale Store: you pin a buy button in the channel ("Enrol → $29 USDT"), the student taps, pays from their wallet, the PDF arrives in their DM under a minute. Their receipt carries an order code like #IXHK9FE — the same one you see on the dashboard, so support questions resolve in two clicks.

2. A $99 self-paced course with lifetime access

Mid-ticket self-paced courses are where auto-delivery earns its keep. Upload the welcome PDF — it can carry a one-time link to the private student channel, your Vimeo unlisted playlist, or your Notion curriculum. Every paying student gets it auto-delivered the moment payment confirms; no manual invite-sending at midnight when a buyer in another timezone enrols. Six months later, when a student asks "I lost the link," they ask the AI assistant inside your bot — it's anchored to your catalog and FAQ, so it can resend or explain without you being awake.

3. A $299 live cohort

Cohort-based courses on Maven or Podia tend to charge a percentage on each enrolment, plus you still build the comms layer yourself. With AllScale Store you sell the $299 cohort seat as a single product. The auto-delivered file is the welcome packet — schedule, Zoom links, prep work, one-time invite link to the private cohort group. New students arrive already onboarded; you didn't manually approve anyone. Deep-link buy URLs like https://t.me/yourbot?start=buy_cohort7 let you drop a one-tap enrol link in a tweet, a newsletter, or a podcast description.

4. A $19/month curriculum drip via tickets

AllScale Store handles one-shot purchases natively, not card-based subscriptions. For ongoing curriculum — monthly modules, quarterly cohort top-ups, access to a paid signal channel that ties into the course — sell "tickets" priced in USDT (one for 30 days, one for 90 days, one for the year). Each ticket auto-delivers an invite link or a renewal code. Students who already prefer stablecoin often convert better on ticket-style access than on card-on-file recurring, and appreciate not handing card details to a platform they barely know.

The setup

1. Sign in at allscale.store with your Telegram account. One tap, no password.
2. Make a bot in @BotFather if you don't have one yet. Paste its token into the dashboard.
3. Paste your AllScale API key and secret. Don't have one? Create the account on allscale.io; it takes a minute, and the same wallet receives payments across every bot you connect.
4. Add your first course as a product. Name, USDT price (minimum 0.11), a description, an optional cover image, and the file you want auto-delivered.
5. Tell your audience to tap /shop in the channel or group your bot is in. Or share the deep-link buy URL anywhere. That's enrolment.

Bot-to-first-student is on the order of minutes. No domain to register, no SSL to configure, no Stripe onboarding, no business verification, no waiting for Teachable to approve your subdomain.
