1. Creating an Online Store
The entire instruction may seem lengthy, but in fact, creating a bot is just the regular process of registering an account, a website, and a bot, followed by setting up the bot (avatar, adding products, etc.). But the most important thing is that the bot is created
completely without code
, meaning no programming skills are required.
Let's get started on creating our bot:
1.1. Launch our bot constructor: @uShopWebBot
1.2. In the first message from the bot, click the button " 🛒 Create a Store "
1.3. Next, a window will open with links to this instruction and a link to technical support; we will click the button " 🤖 Create a Web Bot "
1.4. In the next message, click the button "🔑 Register ", after clicking, the registration phase will begin, and you will need to send your email, create a password, and then confirm your email. In the last stage of registration, you will need to come up with a technical address for your future website.
