Telegram Web Apps (TWA) — The New Standard for Mobile Commerce

Text-based bots with regular buttons are a thing of the past. Modern users are accustomed to the convenient interfaces of classic apps. Telegram Web Apps technology allows embedding a fast and lightweight website directly inside the chat.

We create turnkey online stores in Telegram that open with a single button inside the messenger. Users don’t need to switch to an external browser, log in, or download third-party software — purchases are made in just a few clicks within the familiar ecosystem.

How Does an E-Commerce Bot Store Work?

  1. Interactive Storefront: By pressing a button in the bot, a graphical store interface (Web App) opens. Users see product categories, high-quality images, descriptions, and prices.
  2. Smart Cart: Shoppers add items to their cart, can adjust quantities, apply promo codes, and see the total order amount in real time.
  3. Checkout and Delivery: Directly within the interface, users select a delivery method (pickup, courier, postal services) and fill in address details. The bot can automatically detect the user’s location to simplify input.
  4. Secure Payment: Payment is processed within the app. We integrate international payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, credit cards) or accept payments via Telegram Stars for digital products.
  5. Order Status Notifications: Immediately after payment, the customer receives a receipt and confirmation in the bot chat. Store administrators receive detailed order information in their CRM system or support chat, and the bot automatically updates the customer at each stage («Order is being prepared», «Shipped», «Delivered»).

What Problems Does a Bot Store Integration Solve?

  • Reducing Cart Abandonment: The longer the path to checkout, the lower the conversion rate. A bot store minimizes this path. The store opens instantly, and delivery details can be saved for future purchases.
  • Inventory Synchronization: No more manual price and stock updates across multiple platforms. We set up integration between the bot’s database and your inventory system or website via API. Stock updates happen automatically.
  • Direct Customer Contact: Unlike a regular website, where a lost user is gone forever, the bot retains the chat with the customer. You can use this database for automated notifications about new collections, promotions, or abandoned carts without spending on paid ads.
  • Multilingual by Default: The system automatically detects the user’s Telegram interface language and loads the corresponding language version of the catalog and bot menu.

Architecture and Tech Stack

We build fast and fault-tolerant solutions:

  • Interface (Frontend): Lightweight and fast web interfaces using modern frameworks (Svelte 5, React) that load instantly even with slow mobile internet.
  • Server (Backend): Asynchronous Python code (FastAPI) capable of handling high loads and instantly transmitting order data.
  • Databases: Structured storage of catalogs, users, and order history on PostgreSQL.
