Use Cases

Same extension, different shops. It comes down to how you set checkout mode, shipping, and what goes into Inventory.

Small online shop

Stickers, prints, handmade goods. No website needed, no platform fees.

• Checkout mode: address
• Set a flat shipping rate or free-shipping threshold
• Customers browse in the Mini App, pay Lightning, you get notified
• Ship the order, update fulfillment status, done

Digital goods

E-books, presets, templates, access codes.

• Checkout mode: none or email
• Shipping stays at zero
• After payment, send the download link through the Mini App's messaging

Pop-up or event sales

Markets, conferences, meetups.

• Print a QR code with a deep link: t.me/yourbot?start=product_ID
• Customers scan, open the Mini App, tap, pay
• Works for pre-orders too — set up products before the event

Community merch

Your Telegram group sells branded gear.

• Share the bot in the group description
• Members browse the Mini App and pick variants via categories
• Store credit refunds work well for out-of-stock items — customers spend credit on the next drop

Restaurant takeaway

• List the menu in Inventory with categories (Drinks, Mains, Sides)
• Customers order and pay through the Mini App
• Mark orders as ready; no address collection needed

Automated store with AI

Let an AI agent manage your shop end-to-end.

• Set up the store through the REST API (create shop, configure settings, start bot)
• AI monitors orders, replies to customer messages, updates fulfillment
• Handles returns: reviews requests, approves or denies automatically
• Runs marketing campaigns based on customer activity
• See the AI Setup section for the full integration guide

Marketing-driven shop

Use the built-in campaign engine to drive repeat purchases.

• Abandoned cart reminders bring customers back to unpaid orders
• Back-in-stock alerts notify customers when items return
• Post-purchase follow-ups encourage reviews and repeat visits
• Promotion broadcasts announce sales and new products to all customers

Testing and workshops

• Use polling mode and LNbits FakeWallet
