Telegram custom menus and shortcut buttons
Turn rules, help and frequently used information into buttons that members can tap instead of memorizing commands.
How do I create custom menu buttons for a Telegram bot?
Save shortcut entries as label=reply in the bot’s private Customize menu. Labels can use Chinese and other languages. Enable the feature and publish the menu to an authorized group so members can tap instead of remembering commands.

Illustrative example, not a live bot demonstration.How to configure it
New to MSH? Create and connect your bot first, then complete owner binding. Group features also require authorization for the target group. ID tools are available without payment or owner binding.
Step-by-step BotFather and connection guideSaving settings does not turn a feature on. Enable it separately and check the bot’s runtime, group authorization, audience and required Telegram permissions. Owners configure their own bot; members do not receive its configuration permissions.
Questions before you start
Can button labels use languages other than English?
Yes. Labels support Chinese and other text, with 1–32 characters and up to 20 entries. Save and enable the feature, then publish the menu to an authorized group.
How is the bot service priced?
For each bot and every two-group quota, MSH service costs the equivalent of 0.1 USDT per 30 runtime days, quoted when an order is created. BNB service costs 0.001 BNB for the same base period. Hour, day, month and year units are available. Runtime is consumed while running and preserved while paused. Trial: one hour per account, two groups and 100 ordinary replies. ID tools are free after connection. Provider API charges and network fees are separate.
Read all billing and after-sales rulesWhy might a configured feature not respond?
Check that settings were saved, the feature is enabled and the bot is running with remaining time. For groups, confirm authorization, audience settings and permissions. Telegram must deliver the relevant message to the bot. Event, poll, membership and reminder deadlines follow their own rules; pausing runtime does not freeze those wall-clock deadlines.

Telegram bot pricing: 21 features from the equivalent of 0.1 USDT per month
Use auto replies, scheduled announcements, group moderation, digital delivery and other available tools in one bot. The base MSH service price is the equivalent of 0.1 USDT per bot, per two-group quota, for 30 days of running time. Choose the functions you need; each is off until enabled.
Do I pay 0.1 USDT directly?
No. This is the USDT reference value for payment in MSH. The required MSH quantity is calculated from the current reference price and locked when the order is created. Direct USDT payment is not offered. Alternatively, pay 0.001 BNB for the base 30-day service; it is a separate fixed price.
What is included, and what costs extra?
The base price covers one bot with a two-group quota. More groups increase the price proportionally. Hour, day, month and year purchases are supported; running consumes time and pausing preserves it. Network fees and third-party AI API charges are separate. AI calls use your own provider account. One basic one-hour trial is available per account.
