Flutterwave is partnering with Telegram to enable Bot Payments
Today we are glad to announce that we are partnering with Telegram as a payment provider in their recently launched Bot Payments update. This update will support payments through chatbots and will enable merchants to accept payments through any platform powered by a bot.
As a payment provider, Flutterwave is now a part of Telegram’s bot ecosystem and is providing developers with the ability to accept payments by charging a user’s card. With this update, making payments is as easy as connecting to the bot and making your payment from anywhere in the world.
Telegram is an open platform which means bot developers can access the available APIs they need to integrate Bot Payments into any ecommerce platform. Once the Bot API is accessed, bot developers can then choose Flutterwave as their preferred payment processor. Prior to this update, the only available payment provider connected to Telegram’s Bot API was Stripe, the world’s leading software platform for running internet businesses.
Telegram has built its own flow around their Bot API and has created a seamless way to charge cards and accept payments globally. We are excited to be a part of this global collaboration as it gives us room to expose our services to the conversational commerce market. Telegram’s decision to work with us a payment provider creates an opportunity for them to widen their international reach into more countries around the world; which is both beneficial and inclusive, not only for the company but also for their users.
Telegram’s open platform will give African developers an avenue to play around with the necessary Bot APIs. At Flutterwave, our mission is to empower a new wave of prosperity across Africa and with our new partnership with Telegram, we are making it possible for African businesses and merchants to connect with their users in an exciting way.
Telegram enabling payments through chatbot is particularly exciting for users who can now order and pay for goods and services through a messaging platform. Imagine being able to order a pair of shoes & pay for them with a bot? The possibilities are endless.
Flutterwave is available as a payment provider to bot developers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa.
