Onboarding Wizard

Complete the 3-step setup wizard to launch your store.

When you first log into the dashboard, you'll see the onboarding wizard — a guided 3-step process to get your store ready.

Step 1: Configure Mini App

Set up your Telegram Mini App so customers can access your store.

  1. Copy the Store URL shown in the wizard
  2. Open @BotFather in Telegram
  3. Send /mybots and select your bot
  4. Go to Bot SettingsMenu ButtonConfigure Mini App
  5. Paste the Store URL

This URL is unique to your store. It enables sharing links and referral functionality.

Step 2: Configure payments and checkout

Choose between two checkout modes:

  • Manual Checkout — customers fill out a custom form. Best for COD, bank transfers, or when you want full control over the checkout experience.
  • Telegram Payments — accept payments directly through Telegram using 20+ payment providers (Stripe, PayPal, YooKassa, Razorpay, and more).

You can also use Telegram Stars — Telegram's built-in currency that requires no payment provider setup.

Step 3: Add products

Choose how to manage your product catalog:

Manage products directly in the dashboard with the built-in editor. Features:

  • Rich product editor with image uploads
  • Real-time updates
  • Variant support (sizes, colors)
  • Better performance

Sync products from a Google Spreadsheet. Features:

  • Familiar spreadsheet interface
  • Bulk editing
  • External collaboration
  • Stock updates write back to the sheet

Once you've completed all three steps, your store is ready to accept orders.

Dismissing the wizard

If you want to complete setup later, you can dismiss the wizard from the dashboard. The onboarding checklist will remain accessible until all steps are complete.
