😱 Regex?! 😱Sounds scary, but it’s actually simple!

Sometimes you want buyers to enter data in a specific format - like exactly 10 digits or a date.

Example:

^\d{10}$ → exactly 10 digits

😮 Don’t worry, you don’t need to understand it!

We’ve added ready-made examples for you.
Need something custom? Use the 👉 regex generator or ask any AI to create the pattern.

🔗 External Link for Products

You can now add a button to your product that links to an external website - for example, a product page on a marketplace, a landing page, or your own website.

Buyers will see the button directly on the product card and can quickly proceed to purchase outside of Telegram. This feature can complement in-app purchases or be used to fully redirect the customer.

Why is this useful?
You retain your Telegram audience while gaining the ability to follow up and maintain control over your sales funnel - even if the purchase happens off-platform.

To enable it, go to Store Settings → Premium → External Links. Each product will now include a new property: "Product External Links".

📢 Want more buyers? Get listed on the Marketplace!

If you already have a store on Telegram but aren't getting many orders, the issue might not be your products - it could just be low traffic.

👉 Your store will appear in the public catalog
👉 Customers will find you by category, location, or search
👉 You’ll build trust with verified status, ratings, and reviews
👉 That means more views, orders, and subscribers

Make sure your store is ready and submit a listing request.

✈️ 3 Ways to Promote for Free

We’ve already talked about Telegram Ads – in this post, we’ll share how to attract an audience for free 👇

💡 Collaborations
Find channels with a similar – but not competing niche for mutual promotion. For example, a clothing store teaming up with a stylist to create a capsule wardrobe file. Useful files get shared well and bring in new audiences.

Set up inline search so you can publish product cards in your partners’ channels.

💡 Commenting
Join discussions related to your business, answer questions, and share value in comments or chats. Users will get curious about your profile – make sure it’s filled out with up-to-date information and clearly represents your business.

Pin a button with a link

to your shop in your business channel so it’s always visible.

💡 UGC Content
Authentic reviews are the best advertising! Host a contest for those who tag your shop on social media, or offer a discount for a review.

Launch an affiliate program:

you’ll get new customers, and influencers will earn from their referrals’ purchases!
