🛍 Mini Store

A good Telegram shop should feel simple for customers and practical for the person running it. Mini Store, a ready-made Telegram bot template built with the @MANSIABOT bot factory at mansiabots.com, helps small businesses accept product orders inside Telegram without a full ecommerce website. Buyers can browse, search, use a cart, apply coupons, and track orders, while the owner manages products, categories, stock, photos, settings, and order statuses.

What Mini Store Is

Mini Store is a compact commerce bot for Telegram. It turns a normal bot chat into a small digital storefront where customers can open the catalog, choose a category, view product details, add products to a cart, change quantities, and submit an order with their name, phone, address, and notes.

It is useful for home food sellers, perfume and cosmetics shops, handmade goods, clothing sellers, service providers, neighborhood stores, and social-media sellers already speaking with customers on Telegram or WhatsApp. Instead of asking buyers to scroll through old posts, Mini Store gives them a structured path from browsing to order submission.

Real Features Inside the Bot

The customer side starts with a store home screen showing the store name, description, visible products, active categories, delivery information, and order status. From there, buyers can browse categories, open all products, search, view the cart, check previous orders, or open store information.

Products can include a title, price text, parsed price amount, description, category, optional photo, visibility status, and stock value. Unlimited-stock products can stay available continuously, while limited-stock products are checked before checkout. If the quantity is not available, the bot blocks the order.

The cart is more than a “buy now” button. Customers can add several products, increase or decrease quantities, remove items, clear the cart, and see line totals where prices are available. The bot also supports discount coupons. Owners can create percentage coupons, such as 10%, or fixed-value coupons, such as 5 in the selected currency. The bot calculates subtotal, discount, and final total.

Checkout is built for direct selling. After tapping confirm, the customer sends details in a structured format: name, phone, address, and notes. The bot creates an order number, saves items, totals, coupon data, currency, customer information, Telegram user details, and status. The owner receives a new-order notification with a button to open it.

Orders can move through real states: new, preparing, ready or awaiting delivery, delivered, and cancelled. Customers can open “My orders” to track status. They can cancel while an order is still new; after processing starts, cancellation is blocked. If an order is cancelled, stock can be restored.

The owner panel includes product creation, editing, product photos, category management, settings, coupons, orders, statistics, preview as visitor, and a store guide. Products can be hidden or shown, deleted after confirmation, assigned to categories, and updated with new text or photos. Categories can be added, renamed, enabled, or hidden. Store settings include name, description, currency, delivery text, phone, address, WhatsApp, and Instagram. The store can also be opened or temporarily closed for orders.

For operations, Mini Store includes filtered order lists, status update buttons, customer contact through Telegram when available, CSV export, and statistics for products, visible products, categories, total orders, new orders, low stock, recorded sales, and revenue by status. It is a lightweight sales workflow without turning spreadsheets into the main system.

How to Create Mini Store with @MANSIABOT

• Step 1: Open Telegram and start @MANSIABOT.
• Step 2: Create a new bot through the factory flow. If you do not already have a Telegram bot token, create one with BotFather first, then return to @MANSIABOT.
• Step 3: Choose the commerce group or template list and select Mini Store Bot.
• Step 4: Connect or launch the bot using @MANSIABOT instructions.
• Step 5: Open the new bot as the owner. The owner panel appears automatically when you start it from the owner account.
• Step 6: Add categories and products, upload photos, set prices and stock, and update currency, delivery, contacts, and address.
• Step 7: Use “Preview as visitor” to test the buying experience, then share the bot link with customers.

Use Cases

• Home food orders: Add categories like cakes, meals, and drinks. Customers choose quantities, write delivery notes, and send their address.
• Perfume or cosmetics catalog: Use photos, descriptions, categories, and limited stock to sell small collections through Telegram.
• Local clothing drops: Hide sold-out products, use categories for sizes or styles, and export orders as CSV after a campaign.
• Handmade products: Present a small catalog of custom items and collect notes from customers during checkout.
• Service packages: List services as products, use categories for package types, and let customers submit contact details and preferences.

Tips for Better Results

Keep product names short and specific, because they appear inside buttons and search results. Put the strongest selling point early in the description, and use clear product photos. If an item has limited availability, set stock instead of relying on memory. For promotions, create one simple coupon code and test it from the cart before sharing it.

Use categories only when they help customers decide faster. A store with five products may only need “All products,” while a larger store should use clear groups. Update the delivery text before launch so customers know whether you offer delivery, pickup, or manual agreement. Check order status buttons regularly so customers get accurate tracking.

FAQ

Can customers pay inside Mini Store?

Mini Store focuses on catalog browsing, cart building, coupons, and order collection. It records order details and totals, then sends the order to the owner. Payment can be arranged separately.

Can I close the store temporarily?

Yes. The owner can open or close order intake from settings. When orders are closed, customers can still view the store, but the bot blocks cart additions and checkout.

Does Mini Store support product photos?

Yes. The owner can choose a product and send a photo to add or replace its image. When a product has a saved photo, the bot can show it with the product details.

Can customers track or cancel orders?

Customers can open “My orders” to view saved orders and their current status. They can cancel while an order is still new; once the owner starts processing it, cancellation is no longer available.
