Introduction
What is Tiny Shops and how can it help you sell on Telegram.
What is Tiny Shops?
Tiny Shops is a platform for creating fully-featured online stores inside Telegram. Your store runs as a Telegram Mini App — customers browse products, add to cart, and checkout without ever leaving Telegram.
You get a merchant dashboard to manage everything: products, orders, customers, payments, marketing, and storefront appearance.
Who is it for?
- Small businesses selling physical or digital goods via Telegram
- Creators and brands looking for a direct-to-customer sales channel
- Entrepreneurs in markets where Telegram is the dominant messaging platform (Russia, CIS, India, Middle East)
How it works
Create your store
Sign up and complete the setup wizard. Connect your Telegram bot and configure payments.
Add products
Add products via the built-in editor or sync from Google Sheets. Set prices, upload images, configure variants.
Start selling
Share your store link. Customers open it in Telegram, browse, and buy. You manage orders from the dashboard.
