Telegram invite link vs public link: the difference and which to use in an order
A Telegram channel or group can have a public link like t.me/name, which matches its username, and any number of invite links like t.me/+code created by an admin. The public link is single and permanent; invite links can be created, limited and revoked.
Comparison
| Public t.me/name | Invite t.me/+code | |
|---|---|---|
| Who creates it | Comes automatically with a public channel | An admin, as many as needed |
| Limits | None | Expiry, join limit, join-request approval |
| Statistics | Channel-wide | Per link |
| Can be revoked | Only by changing the username | Yes, any time |
| For a private channel | No | The only way in |
How to create an invite link
- Open the channel → title → Edit → Invite links (in groups: Manage group → Invite links).
- Tap “Create a new link”. The link name is visible only to you: name it after the order, e.g. “tgfocus-september”.
- Do not enable “Request admin approval”: requests would need manual approval and the added members could not join.
- Copy the link like https://t.me/+AbCdEf12345 and paste it into the order in full.
Why an invite link is better for an order
- Members who joined via an invite link are less often caught by Telegram clean-ups than those added via an open link. Premium member orders are accepted with an invite link only.
- On the “60-day refill” offer, the refill right applies only to invite-link orders.
- A separate link per order shows exactly how many joined through it: handy for checking delivery.
