Watch out for

Telegram requires valid currency codes for Star transactions so you must ensure your payload uses 'XTR' instead of standard ISO codes.
Invoice payloads have strict character limits for titles and descriptions so keep text concise to avoid API rejection errors.
Refund processing relies on unique charge IDs which expire after a certain period so store these immediately in Google Sheets upon payment.
