Creating Store with Bot
A bot enables additional features like payment processing, order notifications, and inline search.
Step 1: Create a Group
Create a new group in Telegram for managing your orders. This will be your main group where the bot will send order updates.
- Open Telegram and create a new group
- Name it anything you like (e.g., “My Shop Orders”)
- Note: You’ll need to add your bot to this group later
Step 2: Create Your Bot
- Open @BotFather in Telegram
- Click Start and send
/newbot - Choose a name and username for your bot (must end with
botor_bot) - BotFather will provide a TOKEN — copy this token, you’ll need it soon
Step 3: Create the Store
- Open @ShopsBuilderBot in Telegram
- Click Start → Open → Add → Create Store
- At the “Add Bot” step, choose Connect Personal Bot
- Paste your BOT TOKEN from Step 2
- Add your bot to the order management group you created
- Click Refresh
Step 4: Complete Setup
- Enter your store name and email
- Choose a template
- Configure your store settings
What’s next? You’ll receive an email with a link to the CRM where you can add products.
Accessing the CRM
After creating your store, you’ll manage your products through the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system.
How to Access CRM
- Check your email for the registration link (sent when you create your first shop)
- Click the link to register in the CRM
- Work with the CRM — we recommend using a laptop or tablet
Didn’t Receive Registration Link?
- First shop? Check your Spam folder
- Already have a shop? The link is only sent for the first shop. New shops appear in your existing account automatically
You can also find the CRM link in @ShopsBuilderBot under the Store section.
Promoting Your Store
Once your store is set up, attract customers with these strategies:
Telegram Channel
If you have a channel talking about your products:
- Link your store — Add a button to pinned messages
- Create content — Share product information, tips, and tutorials

How to add a store button:
- Make @posted bot an admin in your channel
- Send a message from your channel to the posted bot
- Click “Create Post” and enter your post text
- Click “URL Buttons”
- Specify button name and store link (e.g., “Open Shop - https://t.me/YourBot/shop ”)
- Click “Next” → “🔥Publish”
- Pin the post in your channel
