We just shipped three updates that change how your store works. No breaking changes — just new options that give you more control.
1. Accept Payments in TON#
Your store can now accept payments directly on the TON blockchain.
A new "Crypto Payments" mode is available in the dashboard under Settings → Orders & Payments. Enter your TON wallet address, and your store is ready to accept blockchain payments — no intermediaries, no platform fees on crypto transactions.
What your buyers see:
- Pay in TON
- Scan a QR code or open a TON deeplink
- Copy the wallet address manually if needed
- Add a memo and confirm
- Wait for on-chain verification
Why it matters:
Crypto payments are growing fast in Telegram. TON is Telegram's native blockchain — it's fast, cheap, and familiar to the 900M+ users already inside the app. If you're selling to crypto-native audiences, this removes a major friction point.
How to set it up:
- Go to Dashboard → Settings → Orders & Payments
- Select Crypto Payments mode
- Enter your TON wallet address
- Save — your store is live for TON payments
The system automatically handles currency compatibility. If your store was set to a currency that doesn't work with TON, it adjusts automatically — nothing breaks silently.
2. Change Your Bot Token#
You can now update your Telegram bot token without recreating your store.
Previously, the bot token you entered during setup was locked in. If you needed to switch bots — maybe you're migrating to a new bot, rebranding, or fixing a compromised token — you had to start over.
Now:
Go to Dashboard → Settings → Storefront Settings and update your bot token directly. The system revalidates the new token, confirms the bot username, and switches over. Your products, orders, and settings stay intact.
When you'd use this:
- Rebranding your Telegram presence
- Switching to a new bot after a security incident
- Consolidating multiple bots into one store
- Testing with a staging bot before going live
3. Delete Orders#
You can now delete individual orders from your dashboard.
Before this update, you could only change order statuses (pending → processing → shipped → delivered → cancelled). Cancelled orders still cluttered your order list. Now you can permanently remove test orders, duplicates, or any order that doesn't belong in your history.
How it works:
- Go to Dashboard → Orders
- Open the order you want to remove
- Click Delete Order
- Confirm — it's gone
Good to know:
- Deleting an order is permanent — there's no undo
- Product stock is not affected (we don't auto-reverse inventory)
- Analytics may show a small gap if you delete recent orders — that's normal
What's Next#
We're working on a few things for next month:
- More payment providers — expanding beyond Stripe and Telegram Payments
- Better analytics — real-time sales data, conversion funnels
- Bulk operations — mass updates for products and orders
