Developing mini apps in Telegram

A bot talks in messages and buttons. A mini app is a full interface with screens, a catalog, search and forms, opened from a bot or a link. They often work together: the bot launches the app and sends notifications.

It depends on the task. For Taro i Teni they complement each other: the site introduces the author and the services, the channel is where the audience talks, and the app is an interactive reference. A QR code on the site leads into the app.

Telegram can take payments in mini apps through third-party payment providers. The first version of Taro i Teni has no payment, so I plan payment as a separate stage, checked with test payments.

From a button in the bot, a link in the channel or in posts, or a QR code on the site or in print. It helps to plan the ways in before the design starts.

A description of the task and the materials for the app: texts, images, prices, answers to common questions. It is better to register the bot on your Telegram account, so it belongs to you.

No. You pay for the app hosting, the domain and other services directly, and the accounts are in your name. Setting up the hosting and deploying the app is my work, and it is included in the price.
