Bot type
We provide two telegram bot types, namely the official trading robot provided by the platform and the custom bot provided by the merchants themselves.
The core functions of the two bots are the same and they can complete trading functions, but there are the following differences:
| Official robot | Custom robot | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | Free to use forever | Paid Use |
| Appearance display | The bot avatar and introduction information are set by the platform and cannot be modified | Merchants can modify the robot avatar and introduction information by themselves |
| Merchant entrance | Users need to use the entrance link shared by the merchant to enter the merchant's store | After entering the robot, users can click Shop to directly access the merchant's projects |
| Other requirements | None | Merchants need to provide their own telegram bot token. By opening telegram @BotFather and sending the /newbot command, you can get a free token |
Merchant usage steps
1. Publish digital products
Before using the bot, merchants need to publish project so that users can make purchases in the bot.
Enter the console Merchant, click Create Project, and select Digital Product as product type.
Currently the telegram bot supports digital product & paid group, please refer to Publish Digital Products and Publish Paid Group
2. Use platform bot
Enter the console Merchant -> Settings to get the telegram bot merchant entrance link.
TIP
We provide two types of links: fixed link and telegram internal link
The fixed link will redirect the telegram bot merchant entrance currently being used. This link will remain unchanged and can be used for external promotion.
telegram internal link is the domain link of telegram. It can seamlessly jump to the bot page in the telegram application. However, due to possible uncontrollable factors, this link sometimes changed.
Finally, send the bot link to the user to access and use it.
3. Custom bot
Open the telegram app, enter @BotFather in the contact search box. After finding the bot, open it, send the command /newbot to it, and enter the nickname and account id of the custom bot according to the prompts.
Precautions
When setting the bot's account ID, it must end with _bot or Bot
After creating the robot, copy the returned token for configuration.
After submitting the token, your custom bot will take effect within 5 minutes.
Custom bot help reply
🔔 This step is not necessary
If you want users to return specified content when they click Help, you can achieve this by setting custom introduction content. For more flexibility, we support passing in formatted content in HTML format.
Example:
Hello, if you have any questions, please <a href="https://docs.idatariver.com/zh/guide/04.01.merchant.html">click me</a>Now, your custom bot can be used normally. At this time, just send the bot's username or short link to the user.

The platform reserves the right of final interpretation of this tool, please use this tool rationally.
