FAQ
Answers for buyers, channel owners, and catalog users.
What is Buy Channel?
Buy Channel is the marketplace view. It shows only Telegram channels, groups, or chats that the owner marked for sale.
What is Catalog?
Catalog is the wider discovery directory. A channel can be listed there even when it is not available for purchase.
What is Bots?
Bots is a separate directory for Telegram bots. Bot listings use their own categories, pages, and detail URLs.
Can I add my own channel, bot, or group?
Yes. Use the account dashboard to add channels, bots, and groups. Each type has its own form and review flow.
Why do channels and bots have different URLs?
EN pages use the default URLs like /channels and /bots. RU pages use /ru/channels and /ru/bots, which gives search engines separate localized pages.
What happens after I add an asset?
Channels and groups are saved for review before public display. Bots are saved separately and can be published into the bot catalog after moderation.
Can I list a channel for sale later?
Yes. In the account dashboard, channel cards have a catalog-only / for-sale toggle. Bots and groups do not show sale fields.
How does delete work?
Owner deletion is soft delete. Deleted assets are hidden from public catalog pages while preserving backend history.
Where does buyer contact happen?
Public detail pages route users to Telegram actions. A deeper safe-deal and owner-verification flow can be added as the next backend layer.
Why can I be redirected to Django sign in?
The new Catalog.tg UI uses the existing Django session. Account pages check that session first, then redirect to Django sign in when needed.
