An app inside Telegram

Telegram Mini App development

A Telegram Mini App is an app that opens right inside Telegram from a bot button or a link. Your clients do not download anything or sign up: the catalogue, cart, booking or account works where they already chat. Kinto builds Mini Apps end to end, with an estimate within 1 day after a free brief.

Why a Mini App if you already have a bot and a website

A bot is great for simple flows: reply, take a request, remind about a booking. But picking from forty menu items or a free slot across three specialists with buttons is painful. A Mini App gives you a real interface: photos, filters, a cart, a calendar.

A website does similar things, but you still have to bring people to it. A Mini App lives where your clients already are: it opens from a bot, a channel or a link, and their name and Telegram account come through automatically. No phone number, no password.

Orders and requests arrive in your Telegram and, if needed, in your CRM. See how on the amoCRM, Bitrix24 and 1C integration page.

Use cases

What businesses build as Mini Apps

Shop and delivery

A catalogue with photos, cart, address and payment. The order lands in your chat right away.

Online booking

Service, specialist, free slot. The visit reminder arrives in the same Telegram.

Catalogue and matching

Apartments, cars, tours with filters. A favourite option goes to a manager in one tap.

Loyalty and account

Points, order history, status. The client opens them from the bot in a second.

Timeline

How long it takes

What we buildTypical timeline

These are guidelines. We put the exact price and timeline in an estimate after a free brief, and you get it within 1 day. Everything is fixed in the contract before work starts.

How we work: five steps

01Brief

A short call on Telegram or video: the task, the users, what the first version needs. Free. You get an estimate with price and timeline within 1 day.

02Prototype

We show the key screens before writing code. Changes are cheapest at this stage.

03Development

We build in parts and share a working version by link along the way, not an archive at the end.

04Launch

We test on real data and on phones, deploy to your account and hand over the code and access.

05Support

Fixes and improvements based on user feedback. Optional, billed monthly.

FAQ

How is a Mini App different from a Telegram bot?

A bot talks in messages and buttons. A Mini App opens a full screen with photos, filters and forms. They often go together: the bot greets, reminds and sends status updates, and the client places the order in the Mini App.

Do clients need to install anything?

No. A Mini App opens in Telegram on phones and computers, with no separate install or sign-up.

Can we accept payments?

Yes. We choose the payment method on the brief: it depends on what you sell and which country you work in.

How much does a Mini App cost?

It depends on the scope: how many screens, roles and integrations. After a free brief we send an estimate with price and timeline within 1 day and fix it in the contract. Payment is usually 50% before start and 50% after launch.

Who owns it?

You do. The bot is created on your account or transferred to you after launch, and so are the code and access.

Can the Mini App open in a browser?

A Mini App is built with the same technology as a website, so the same interface can open in a browser too. We will tell you on the brief what that takes.
