The Telegram Subscription Manager displays bank account details to users so they can make payments. These details are configured in the src/lib/config.ts file.

​
Current Configuration

src/lib/config.ts
export const BANK_DETAILS = {
  bankName: 'PAYSTACK TITAN',
  accountNumber: '9740079311',
  accountName: 'learnrithmai/learnrithm ai'
}
These details are displayed when users send the /start or /pay commands to the bot.

​

​

Edit src/lib/config.ts in your project: 
# Open the file in your editor
code src/lib/config.ts

​
2. Update the Details

Replace the values with your bank information:
src/lib/config.ts
export const BANK_DETAILS = {
  bankName: 'YOUR BANK NAME',      // e.g., 'First Bank'
  accountNumber: '1234567890',     // Your 10-digit account number

}

export const BANK_DETAILS = {
  bankName: 'GTBank',
  accountNumber: '0123456789',
  accountName: 'VIP Signals Ltd'
}

​
3. Deploy Changes

After updating the configuration: 
# Commit your changes

​
Additional Configuration Options

You can extend the bank details configuration with additional fields if needed:
src/lib/config.ts
export const BANK_DETAILS = {
  bankName: 'GTBank',
  accountNumber: '0123456789',
  accountName: 'VIP Signals Ltd',
  // Optional: Add more fields
  bankCode: '058',          // GTBank code
  branchName: 'Victoria Island',
  swiftCode: 'GTBINGLA'     // For international transfers
}
Additional fields won’t automatically display to users. You’ll need to update your bot message templates to include them.

​
Payment Provider Options

While this system uses Paystack for payment verification, you can accept payments through:
  1. Direct Bank Transfer (Current method)
    • Users transfer to your account
    • Users provide transaction reference
    • Bot verifies with Paystack API
  2. Paystack Payment Links
    • Generate unique payment links per user

    • Better tracking and analytics
  3. Paystack Dedicated Virtual Accounts
    • Unique account per customer
    • Automatic payment detection

​
Best Practices

Security Considerations:
  • Verify account ownership before going live
  • Test the payment flow with small amounts first
  • Monitor transactions regularly for discrepancies
  • Keep records of all configuration changes
  • Use business accounts rather than personal accounts for professionalism
User Experience Tips:
  • Use clear, recognizable account names
  • Double-check account number accuracy
  • Consider using bank name abbreviations that users recognize
  • Test that the details display correctly in the Telegram bot

​
Troubleshooting

​
Users Report Wrong Account Details

  1. Check src/lib/config.ts has the correct information
  2. Verify the changes were committed and deployed
  3. Clear any caching (restart bot if needed)
  4. Test by sending /start command to your bot

​
Payment Not Showing in Account

  1. Verify accountNumber is correct (check for typos)
  2. Confirm bankName matches the actual bank
  3. Ensure users are sending to the right account
  4. Check with your bank for any account restrictions

​
Users Can’t Verify Payments

This is related to Paystack configuration, not bank details:
  1. Verify PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY environment variable is correct
  2. Ensure the Paystack account matches the bank account
  3. Check that users are copying the full transaction reference
