Papi Pay: payments without a terminal via QR in Telegram
My own product. A manager picks the business account and the amount, and in 10 seconds the bot issues a QR invoice to the National Bank of Ukraine standard. When the money reaches that account, the invoice marks itself as paid.

The problem
Small businesses take payments to a sole-trader account: the buyer types in the amount and reference by hand, and someone later checks the statement against screenshots. A terminal and acquiring mean fees and extra costs.
How it works
An invoice is created in Telegram in a few taps — the QR already contains the amount, the recipient and the reference.
- The manager picks the account and the amount
- The bot issues a QR and a PDF invoice to forward to the buyer
- The buyer scans the QR in their bank app — nothing to type
- When the money arrives in that account, the invoice marks itself as paid (automatic matching for monobank accounts)
