This guide explains how to create a functional e-commerce Telegram bot in under 5 minutes using Jagamio. By following these steps, you’ll have an operational bot with an admin panel, product showcase, and order management system. This tutorial is designed for beginners looking to launch their online store on Telegram without any technical skills.

Target audience: Beginner
Prerequisites: An active Telegram account, access to the Jagamio app

Step 1: Create the bot on BotFather (Telegram)
Objective: Register a new Telegram bot and retrieve its authentication token.

  1. 1. Open Telegram and search for the official bot @BotFather.
  2. 2. Send the command /newbot to start the creation process.
  3. 3. Choose a display name for your bot (e.g., YouTube Test Jagamio).
  4. 4. Choose a unique username (must end with "bot," e.g., youtube_test_bot).
  5. 5. Copy the API token provided by BotFather—you’ll need it in the next step.

⚠️ Note: Keep this token secure. Never share it publicly, as it grants full access to your bot.


Step 2: Connect the bot to Jagamio
Objective: Link your new Telegram bot to Jagamio to enable e-commerce features.

  1. 1. Create an account if you haven’t already.
  2. 2. Access the bot setup page (via the banner when you reload the homepage).
  3. 3. Paste the API token copied from BotFather into the designated field.
  4. 4. Confirm and wait for Jagamio to verify the connection if the token is correct.

⚠️ Note: If Jagamio displays an error, ensure you’ve copied the entire token without extra spaces at the beginning or end.


Step 3: Set up your admin profile
Objective: Identify yourself as the bot’s administrator to access the management panel.

  • 1. From your new bot, type /new_admin in the chat and send the message.
  • 2. A verification code will be requested—enter it to confirm your identity (the code is available on the Jagamio site where you pasted the API token).
  • 3. Once the code is validated, you’ll be recognized as the bot administrator.
  • 4. Click "Next" to proceed with automatic configuration.

⚠️ Note: This code is single-use and temporary.


Step 4: Generate store elements
Objective: Configure the elements specific to your store.

  • 1. Jagamio automatically generates banners, which you can modify later.
  • 2. However, you’ll need to enter the bot’s description, language, and category. Don’t worry—you can edit these later if needed.
  • 3. Accept the terms of use to finalize the setup.

⚠️ Note: Banners are generated automatically from the start. It’s recommended to customize them with your branding before officially launching your store.


Step 5: Test and launch the bot
Objective: Ensure the bot is operational and accessible to your customers.

  • 1. Open your bot directly in Telegram (search for it by its username).
  • 2. Send the command /start—the bot should respond with a welcome message.
  • 3. Verify that all buttons are working.

⚠️ Note: If the bot doesn’t respond, wait a few seconds—propagation on Telegram’s servers may take a moment after creation.


Conclusion
By following this guide, you now have a fully functional e-commerce Telegram bot, complete with an admin panel, order system, and a basic storefront generated automatically.
Your store is ready to be customized and launched.

Recommended next steps:
  • 🛍️ Create your product catalog (digital or physical store—see the dedicated guide).
  • 🎨 Customize your store’s banners and description.
  • ⚙️ Set up accepted payment methods for your bot.
  • 📊 Explore the admin panel to manage customer orders.
