Using the Web Apps tool for telegram bots, the site can be transferred to the messenger.
In a release dated April 16, Telegram developers introduced the possibility of bots moving “to a new dimension”.
You can test new features from the buyer’s point of view via @DurgerKingBot – try ordering a fake lunch through the new bot.
Run @DurgerKingBot, click “Order food”
This menu appears. Select the desired products and their quantity
Proceed to placing an order
Click “Pay” and fill in all the necessary information about the recipient (name, delivery address, phone number)
The possibility of paying through payment bots in Telegram has been available since 2017. In 2021, we added “Payments 2.0” – merchants got the opportunity to accept payments to cards in any chat using 9 payment systems. Now the number of payment systems has been increased to 15.
If we look at the @TestStore demo and its @ShopBot from 2021, we can see that the products were presented in an awkward feed.
To find a product, you had to flip through the tape. It was not at all like the usual format of online stores, as it is done now.
In the updated interface, finding and placing an order is much easier and more enjoyable. Considering that business has now begun to move to Telegram, we can expect an increase in the number of purchases in the Telegram application thanks to the new bot. Telegram does not charge a fee for making payments.
To create an online store in a messenger through WebApps, you will need the help of a developer: the interface is written in JavaScript, one of the most popular programming languages in the world. You can find the developer documentation here.
Chat bot of the new generation will become a full-fledged replacement for any site.
