These Telegram bot options help you sell inside channels and groups, then handle orders and customer conversations. Use this list to pick the approach that matches your catalog type, how you want customers to pay, and how much automation you need.
BotLaunch Mini App store (products, digital items, courses, real estate)
If you want customers to browse and order inside Telegram, BotLaunch’s Telegram Mini App store runs in the chat. It offers 21 ready-made storefront designs and an AI shop builder that generates a themed storefront from one sentence, then you preview and edit before launching.
BotLaunch bot-manager modules (moderation, analytics, and sales conversations)
Use BotLaunch’s channel and group manager to automate the selling side of community operations, not just posting. You toggle 165 module types from the web dashboard, including moderation, anti-spam and CAPTCHA, analytics, AI chat replies, scheduled broadcasts, and vertical tools like e-commerce, education, and real estate.
Telegram checkout inside a Mini App, seller-fulfilled by default
For many sellers, the simplest path is seller-fulfilled orders: the Mini App can collect orders and you fulfill them without taking payment in Telegram. If you want card payments inside Telegram on a paid plan, BotLaunch supports card payments via a Telegram Stripe provider token, with money going to your own Stripe account.
Dedicated “catalog and cart” bots (best for simple product listings)
Catalog and cart bots fit when you already have products and you mainly need a structured way to show items, collect cart selections, and route customers to a buying step. Pair this with moderation and analytics so your store experience stays stable in busy channels and groups.
Booking bots for services and appointments
Booking-focused bots work when selling is about time slots instead of shipping. They suit courses, consultations, and appointments where you need availability and a clear next step after the customer asks in chat.
Course delivery bots (best for online courses and memberships)
Course delivery bots fit when your “product” is lessons, quizzes, progress tracking, and access. Use them when you want to manage learning content and tie purchases to account access or verification.
Where BotLaunch belongs
BotLaunch belongs when you want a Telegram-first setup, with a Mini App store that opens inside the chat and a bot-manager to keep your channel or group organized. You can start with the free plan for the manager and a free store tier, then move up if you need more products, more monthly orders, or card payments inside Telegram.
To choose, compare BotLaunch’s Mini App store for the buying flow with BotLaunch’s modules for moderation, analytics, AI replies, and vertical selling features.
