Telegram Mini App development for stores, bookings and customer accounts
We build custom Telegram Mini Apps — an app with real screens right inside Telegram: a catalogue and a cart, a booking flow, a customer account. No install, no app stores, payment in the messenger.

What is a Telegram Mini App in plain words
A Telegram Mini App is a web app that opens inside Telegram: from a button in a bot, from the chat menu or by a direct link. The user sees not a conversation but familiar screens — a catalogue, a cart, a booking calendar, a personal account.
It differs from a chatbot in the way it talks to people. A bot converses: it asks questions and answers in messages. A Mini App is an app with an interface: buttons, forms, lists, payment. They often work as a pair — the bot sends notifications and reminders, and the Mini App shows everything else.
The customer installs nothing and signs up nowhere: they enter with their Telegram account. So the path from a channel post or an ad to an order is a few taps.
Who a Telegram Mini App is for
-
A store in Telegram
You sell through a channel or a chat: a catalogue, a cart and payment in a Mini App replace orders taken in private messages.
-
Booking a service
A salon, a clinic, a studio or a repair shop: the customer picks the service and a free slot, and you get a finished booking.
-
A customer account
Orders, bonuses, passes or the status of a request — in the messenger the customer already uses, with no separate app.
What you get
-
A Mini App in your bot
It opens from a button in the bot, from the chat menu or by a direct link — no install, no app stores.
-
Screen design
Screens in your brand’s style that follow the light and dark themes of Telegram.
-
A catalogue or bookings
Products with photos and prices, a cart and checkout — or services, specialists and free slots to book.
-
Payment in the messenger
LiqPay, WayForPay or monobank — the payment page opens in the Mini App; digital goods are paid with Telegram Stars.
-
Sign-in without passwords
The customer enters with their Telegram account — no sign-up, no email, no passwords.
-
Notifications from the bot
The bot confirms the order, reminds about the booking and tells the manager about a new request.
-
An admin panel
When you need it: you change products, prices, the schedule and orders yourself, without a developer.
-
Revisions and support
Two or three rounds of revisions during development and a month of support after launch are included in the price.
From brief to launch in four steps
-
01
Brief and scenario
We work out what the customer should do in the Mini App: buy, book or check an order. Within one or two days after the brief you get an estimate and a plan of stages; once agreed — a contract with a fixed price.
-
02
Prototype and design
A map of screens and a design in your brand’s style. You see the app before development starts and approve every screen.
-
03
Development and testing
We build the Mini App and the bot and, when needed, connect payment and an admin panel. We test in Telegram on iOS, Android and desktop. Two or three rounds of revisions are included in the price.
-
04
Launch and support
We connect the Mini App to your bot, hand over the access and support the app for a month. A simple Mini App takes 2–4 weeks; with payment, an account area and an admin panel — 1–2 months.
What we build Mini Apps with
The interface of a Mini App is a web app in React and TypeScript that runs inside Telegram. Data, orders and payment are handled by a custom API on Laravel, which talks to the bot and to outside services through a REST API and webhooks.

What our clients say about us
We’re confident that after working with us you’ll leave a positive review here too.
This is where it all started. Since then we've ordered two more websites here and never even looked for another developer. Every time the work is done well and on time. I recommend them to colleagues.
We came back a second time, now with the chamber's own website. I didn't have to explain anything from scratch: they remembered how we work and suggested better options themselves. And regular clients get a discount too.
I expected it to be like other companies, where you wait days for a reply. Instead, they're always available and always get back to me. Even in the evenings and on weekends, which I really appreciated.
I paid exactly what they quoted at the start. When I asked them mid-project to add a page with my students' results, they named the price first and only then did it. No "that wasn't included" at the end. Others never worked that way.
Two days after launch, inquiries from the contact form stopped coming in. I wrote to them on a Saturday, and it was fixed by lunch. The problem was with the hosting, but no one said "that's not on us." They just sorted it out.
I know nothing about websites. They explained everything in plain language, no jargon. Before handing the site over, they showed me how to change the text and photos myself and recorded a video. Now I update everything on my own. Thank you for your patience.
The site went live a year ago, and I still message them about small things: adding partners, posting photos from the celebration. They answer as if they'd delivered it yesterday. Not once have I heard that the contract has ended.
We needed the site before the season started, and the deadline was tight. They promised four weeks and delivered in three and a half. I never had to chase them. Every week they told me what was done. We started the season with the site already live.
Our old website brought in one or two inquiries a month. Three months after the new one launched, we get eight to ten, with no ads. We're now on Google's first page for the searches that matter. The site finally pays for itself.
Frequently asked questions about Telegram Mini Apps
Answers about how a Mini App differs from a chatbot, cost and timelines, payment and the link to your own systems. Did not find yours? Write to us.
How is a Telegram Mini App different from a chatbot?
A chatbot talks in messages: it asks questions, answers and collects a request in a dialogue. A Mini App is an app with screens inside Telegram: a catalogue, a cart, a calendar, an account. A bot suits questions and simple requests; a Mini App suits the cases where the customer has to choose, compare and pay. They usually work as a pair: the Mini App opens from the bot, and the bot sends notifications. More about bots — on the chatbot development page.
How much does Telegram Mini App development cost?
From ₴20,000 — that is a simple Mini App: a catalogue or a booking flow, a few screens and a request that arrives to the manager in Telegram. Online payment, a customer account, an admin panel and data exchange with your own systems add to the scope and the price. We prepare an estimate within one or two days after the brief and fix the price in the contract.
How long does it take to build a Mini App?
A simple Mini App — a catalogue or bookings with a request to the manager — takes 2–4 weeks. With payment, a customer account and an admin panel — 1–2 months. The timeline depends on the number of screens and on the systems the app has to exchange data with; we name the exact one after the brief and fix it in the contract.
How does payment work in a Telegram Mini App?
For goods and services we connect a payment provider — LiqPay, WayForPay or monobank: the payment page opens right in the Mini App, the customer pays by card and never leaves Telegram. Digital goods and services — subscriptions, courses, access to content — are paid with Telegram Stars, as Telegram’s rules require. Which way fits your product is decided at the brief.
Can a Mini App be connected to a website or a CRM?
Yes. A Mini App can work with the same data as your website or online store: products, stock, orders, customers. For that we write a custom API or connect to the one you already have — more on the backend and API development page. Requests can go to your CRM if it has an API.
A Mini App or a mobile app — which to choose?
A Mini App fits when your customers already use Telegram: it launches faster, costs less and needs no install. A separate mobile app is the choice when you need offline work, advanced device features — the camera, background location, Bluetooth — or an audience outside Telegram. More about apps for iOS and Android — on the mobile development page.
Shall we discuss your Mini App?
Tell us what the customer should do in Telegram — buy, book or check an order — and we will name the cost and the timeline. No obligation.
