Telegram has released a new update bringing a slew of new, value-added features to its messaging app.
In the latest update, the company will now allow merchants / business owners to accept credit card payments in all private chats with users, groups, and channels through 8 different built-in third-party payment providers.
Telegram partner payment companies include Stripe, Yandex. Money, Sberbank, Tranzzo, Payme, CLICK, LiqPay, ECOMMPAY. This payment functionality is currently available in 200 different countries, including India.
Telegram promises that all transactions, including bot-generated purchase invoices, are fully protected. It states that the details of the payment transaction will not be stored or tracked and that the company does not charge any commission.
It should be noted that WhatsApp in the recently revised terms and conditions does the exact opposite. It plans to store and share payment and other transaction details exchanged between user and business owner with parent company Facebook and others.
