How to connect your Telegram bot

billbot delivers digital orders through your own Telegram bot. You create the bot in Telegram, we handle the rest. No coding, no servers.

1

Open BotFather in Telegram

BotFather is Telegram's official tool to create bots. Open Telegram, search for @BotFather and tap Start.

I can help you create and set up Telegram bots. Type /newbot to begin.

Create a new bot with /newbot

Send the command /newbot. BotFather will ask for a display name (anything you like) and a username that must end with bot, for example yourshop_bot.

/newbot
Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it?
Your Shop
Good. Now choose a username. It must end in 'bot'.
yourshop_bot

Copy the bot token

BotFather replies with an API token that looks like 123456789:AA…. Keep it private — anyone with this token controls your bot.

Keep your token secure and store it safely.

Paste it into billbot

Open your store, go to Settings → Telegram bot, paste the token and hit Connect. billbot verifies it with Telegram and shows the linked bot username.

You're live

billbot can now deliver orders through your bot — manually from the order drawer, or automatically when auto-deliver is on. Test by messaging your bot from Telegram.

Ready to connect?

Head to your store settings and paste the token.

Bot got compromised?

In BotFather send /revoke, pick your bot, and paste the new token in billbot to reconnect.

One bot per store

Running multiple stores? Create a separate bot for each so branding and deliveries stay clean.
