We are out – give it a try! 👇😅

Just shipped something I've been working on — Tiny Shops.

It lets you create a full e-commerce store inside Telegram.

Here's why that matters 🧵:

- @telegram has 950M+ users. Messages have a 90% open rate. And with Mini Apps, you can build native-feeling experiences right inside the chat.

That's where your store lives now.

- Your customers don't download an app. Don't create an account. Don't leave the conversation.

They tap, browse, and pay - all inside Telegram

What you get out of the box:
- Product catalog with search & filters
- Shopping cart & checkout
- Google Pay / Apple Pay / Telegram Stars
- Cashback system (boosts repeat purchases 40% - we literally check it with my first customer ⚡)
- Referral program
- Promo codes & contests
- Google Sheets product sync
- Analytics dashboard

It's free to start (up to 50 products, 0% platform fees).

If you sell on Telegram or run a community - give it a try.

And you can setup it in less than 5 minutes btw 🥰

Below the link to the site and my first youtube tutorial video 😅 👇

We have 4 (!) clients already and we just getting started 🚀

[Eugene @eugenezelenkov]

Ok, i just failed. Was too optimistic about everything along the way to get the new customers to @tinyshopsapp

BUT, i spent the whole month on marketing and research and got a lot of new experience and knowledge out of it.

Nothing happens overnight, i will continue my work. I understand the hidden spots and even started building 2 new apps during my research that will make my app much better (analytics and automation).

The problem itself are so big and important that i decided to make the separate apps as a solutions to them (will just have an integration with @tinyshopsapp after release)

Overall, i am exited and full of energy as never before. No visible results makes me even more motivated to grind more, idk how it works but thanks god it works this way. Would be so fking sad to get depressed after every lose 😅

Because i know 95% of attempts will be loses so i don't give a fuck just moving forward.

So next weeks i will:
- improve @tinyshopsapp and try several more ads strategies
- run two new apps (telegram focused analytics and oss posting automation if will be possible to get what i want out of it)
- will get deeper into shitposting and marketing

Love to everyone who likes my post 😅❤️

A big one. Here's what landed: 👇

🔗 Nicer sharing in Telegram

When someone shares a product link in Telegram, it now shows a proper preview with the product image and title — instead of a bare URL.

@samuel_spitz @Replit Can't say I am 100% happy ofc, but for entry attempt with zero skills it is ok

[tinyshops @tinyshopsapp]

We tried new @Replit animation to build something like an ads for tiny-shops.

The result for 30 minutes of work is amazing 👇

[tinyshops @tinyshopsapp]

We just supported @stripe and @Razorpay integrations integrations directly inside of you storefront.

Despite the fact telegram does not support stripe via native payments flow - you can setup it in 1 minutes using our manual checkout form

Works really nice 🥰
