Quick answer

A Telegram bot for business is a program that works with customers automatically inside Telegram: it takes orders, collects payment via Click/Payme, answers questions 24/7, sends reminders and writes data to your CRM — with no operator. In Uzbekistan Telegram is the most-used messenger, so customers don't need to install a new app. Price usually: a simple orders/FAQ bot from ~$279, more with payments and a Mini App store, more again with an AI layer (free-form answers) — the exact figure after the spec. Timeline: a simple bot 1–2 weeks, a complex one 2–4 weeks.

What does a business Telegram bot do?

A Telegram bot is a program that talks to customers automatically on behalf of your business. It does the following:

  • Takes orders: the customer picks a product, adds to cart, checks out — no operator, even at night.
  • Collects payment: Click or Payme connect, and the customer pays right in the chat.
  • Answers 24/7: frequent questions (price, address, hours, delivery) — instantly.
  • Reminders and broadcasts: promos, order status, reminders — automatically.
  • Writes to CRM: every order and customer lands in amoCRM, Bitrix24 or 1C automatically.

Why Telegram specifically?

In Uzbekistan Telegram is the most widespread messenger. For business that's a big advantage:

  • The customer doesn't need to install a new app — they're already on Telegram.
  • The bot meets the customer on your own channel: ads, channel and bot in one place.
  • Via a Mini App a full store (catalog, cart, payment) opens inside Telegram — no website needed either.

Types of Telegram bots

Depending on business needs, there are several types:

  • Simple orders/FAQ bot: menu, Q&A, order taking — the fastest start for small business.
  • Telegram store (Mini App): catalog, cart, Click/Payme payment — turns Instagram into a commission-free store.
  • With AI: an AI layer is added that understands free-form questions and answers from your knowledge base.
  • With CRM/1C integration: orders and customers are written to your system automatically.

There's no single price — it depends on what the bot does. Starting prices at Tezcode:
