After several months' development, we're finally ready to announce boteqa, a service based on the Telegram Bot API that can turn your bot into an e-shop. If you like startups that are "X for Y", you can think of boteqa as "Shopify for Telegram". With boteqa you can do the following:

* define products: the minimum you need is a name and a price, but you can optionally attach photos, videos or files (for example, a sample of a digital product you're selling)

* manage product availability: automated in stock/on order quantities count; make products un/available by one click

* multiple fiat currencies and Monero (XMR) as base currency

* payments with Stripe, Rave by Flutterwave, Yandex.Money, Sberbank, Tranzzo, Payme, CLICK, LiqPay (see https://core.telegram.org/bots/payments)

* payments in Monero (for the beta we run a Stagenet node): customers get notified in real time about the transaction status

* access management: your bot can be invitation-only and you can assign different access levels to your team

* customers can attach notes and a GPS location to the order

* order status: set the order status to confirmed/fulfilled/canceled/refunded

* printable order slips with qrcode: just scan the qrcode with your phone and the bot will show you the corresponding order, no typing needed

* if you promote your products in a Telegram channel or group, your boteqa bot will automatically place the "Add to cart" and "Checkout" buttons to your posts that mention your products

all other features will be described in the upcoming reference documentation.

we are looking for early adopters who are interested in joining boteqa's private beta: please get in touch with us on Telegram @boteqa if you are interested

we do not use chatbots, you'll get a 100% human-based reply please follow us on https://t.me/BoteqaNews
