First Steps in Purple

Purple is a cashback service that lives inside Telegram. Here is the launch, step by step — from opening the Mini App to your first payout.

Purple in a minute

Purple is a cashback service, not a standalone platform for chatting. The earning from activity happens on a partner dating platform, and Purple returns part of your spending and activity to you as bonuses. Everything runs right inside Telegram through a Mini App — there is no separate app to install.

There are two currencies inside the service, and it helps to grasp the difference up front:

CurrencyWhat it is forWithdrawal
Purple CoinsThe internal cashback currency, 1,000 coins = $1Exchanged for dollars in the app: a 20% fee, from 1 coin
DollarsReal balance ready for payoutVia Telegram Wallet, from $1, with no Purple fee

In short, the path looks like this: you collect coins, exchange them for dollars (the round ⇅ button next to "Withdraw"), and withdraw to Telegram Wallet.

Step 1. Open the Mini App

There is just one starting point — follow the link to the bot and tap "Launch": https://t.me/purpleapp_bot. Telegram opens the Mini App inside itself, with no downloads and no email sign-up. Your profile is already recognized from your Telegram account, so there is no separate login.

Step 2. Welcome screen and 18+ consent

The first screen is a short welcome: you confirm that you are at least 18 and accept the Terms. This is not a formality: the service is for adults only. You cannot move forward without this consent — and that is by design.

Step 3. Pick your gender — one tap

Purple has no roles. There are two simple axes: gender (woman or man) and Purple Plus status. Your gender sets which cashback scenario fits you best:

  • Women — cashback for activity in conversations. With free Purple Plus that is 100% in coins: Purple returns everything it earns from your dating profile.
  • Men — cashback for purchases on the partner platform: buy minutes or a Premium package, and up to 40% comes back in coins.

The choice takes a single tap — and you land straight on the home screen. It only tunes your scenario; it does not lock you out of the rest of the features.

Step 4. Connect Telegram Wallet

Dollars are paid out through Telegram Wallet — a wallet built right into the messenger. If you do not have one yet, Telegram will offer to activate it in a couple of taps. You do not need the wallet straight away — only when you reach your first withdrawal (from $1), so you can set it up later. Payouts arrive within 48 hours, with no fee on Purple's side.

Step 5. Get started and earn first bonuses

After onboarding you land on the home screen. Here is where to begin:

  • Collect coins — from activity or purchases, depending on your scenario.
  • Bonus boxes — spend coins to open a box: Amethyst for 500, Gold for 1,000, Diamond for 5,000 coins. Inside is a random win in coins: it may be smaller than the price of the box, or it may reach 75,000. It is entertainment with an element of luck, not a lottery, and it is 18+ only.
  • Watch ads — a round "AD" button sits in the bottom right of the home screen. Every fully watched video credits coins (10 per view right now), up to 10 views a day. If the button is not there, ads are unavailable at the moment.
  • Invite friends — the referral program gives you a flat 5% in coins from the cashback credited to each invited person. It is a separate bonus, it does not reduce your friend's income, it is credited automatically, and your invitee gets a 100-coin welcome bonus at the start.
Purple Plus is a free status for women, granted on request: we review the profile and assign a personal payout account. For a woman it means 100% cashback in coins, priority withdrawal, and personal support. It is not insurance and not a guaranteed percentage — simply a higher return for your activity.

What is next

The first step is simply to open the Mini App and go through onboarding. The rest becomes clear as you go. If something does not launch or you have a balance question, message support. Find deeper breakdowns of the mechanics in the blog, and quick answers in the help section.
