Both run inside Telegram
Two ways to sellin Telegram.
Both run inside Telegram, and both pay straight to your own wallet. The only question is whether your buyer browses or arrives at one thing — and that decides which of the two you want.
Neither one sends your buyer out to a website to pay. Thirty seconds here saves setting up the wrong one.
The short answer
A shop window, inside Telegram
Buyers open your storefront in Telegram and browse — categories, photographs, a basket, a checkout at the end. They never leave the app to pay.
Choose this if your buyers should see everything you sell in one place, and pick from it.
Open a shop →A lock on one thing, inside Telegram
Nobody browses. The buyer arrives at the thing itself — through a Telegram link you posted, or a button inside a Mini App you built — pays without leaving, and it opens.
Choose this if you are charging for one thing or a handful, or putting a lock inside an app you have built.

What does not differ
Most of it, in fact.
The money is yours
Paid into a vault for that one sale and settled to your own wallet. TrueTransfer never holds it, and could not.
The same price
1.5% when something sells, and 0.5% more only if the money is converted. No monthly fee either way.
The same currencies
USDC on Polygon and USDT on TON, priced in whatever currency you think in. Card too, if you switch it on.
The same bot
One Telegram chat runs both, and the Telegram account you already have is the only account there is. Nothing to install.
Physical or digital
Both handle a posted parcel as well as a download — what differs is only how the buyer found it.
You can have both
Nothing stops you running a shop and putting a paywall on something separately.
Pick one and start.
Both live in the same Telegram chat, so you are not locked in — what you set up in one can be moved to the other.
