Five storefront templates: choose how your Telegram shop looks

Classic, Zero, Catalog, Menu and Market: five ready layouts for your Mini App. Products, prices and orders stay the same; only how the shop looks to buyers changes.

A coffee shop needs a list like a delivery app, a sneaker store needs big photos, and an art shop wants to look like a marketplace. Your Mini App now has five templates, and you switch between them with one button. Products, prices, orders and payments stay the same. What changes is how the screens of your shop are built.

What's new#

  • Five templates: Classic, Zero, Catalog, Menu and Market.
  • A preview of each template in the dashboard before you switch.
  • One Apply button: buyers see the new template right away.
  • Your colors and fonts work with every template.
  • The same for agents and Nano: the MCP tool update_theme switches the template.

Classic#

The Classic template: product cards with prices, search and filters
The Classic template: product cards with prices, search and filters

Cards with a photo and a price, search, filters and a bottom menu. It fits almost any catalog, so it's the default. Home strips work on the Classic home page.

Zero#

The Zero template: large product photos on a clean field with small monospace captions
The Zero template: large product photos on a clean field with small monospace captions

Only the product on a clean field: large photos, one small caption in a monospace font, no frames or buttons on top. The menu and the bag sit in the header, with no bottom menu. Zero has its own product page and bag in the same style.

Zero looks best with product photos on a white or plain background. It suits clothing, shoes, jewelry and anything that sells by its photo.

Catalog#

The Catalog template: three products per row, sale badges and a "+" button on each card
The Catalog template: three products per row, sale badges and a "+" button on each card

A dense grid: three products per row, category chips on top, a product count, filters and sorting. Cards carry sale and "few left" badges, and "+" adds a product to the cart straight from the grid. It suits large catalogs where buyers want to see a lot at once. Home strips work here too.

The Menu template: a list of drinks with a description, a price and a "+" button in each row
The Menu template: a list of drinks with a description, a price and a "+" button in each row

A list like a delivery app. Categories are tabs that stick to the top of the screen; each row has a name, a description, a price and a photo. A product without options goes into the bag with "+" right in the row, a counter appears next to it, and a bar at the bottom shows the bag total.

It suits food, coffee, flowers and anything people order several items of.

Market#

The Market template: a carousel of large cards and a "Top picks" ranking with Popular, Cheaper and Pricier tabs
The Market template: a carousel of large cards and a "Top picks" ranking with Popular, Cheaper and Pricier tabs

A storefront like a marketplace: big rounded cards, a carousel on top, a deals row with sale items and a "Top picks" ranking with Popular, Cheaper and Pricier tabs. The header holds search, the bag and the menu. Market has its own product page.

It suits digital goods, art, collections and shops where buyers like to browse and compare.

What stays the same#

  • Products, prices, stock and orders. A template only changes how the shop looks.
  • Checkout and payments. The cart, checkout and payment methods work the same in every template. In Menu and Catalog the product page and the cart are the same as in Classic.
  • Colors and fonts. Your colors and fonts from Appearance apply to every template. Some size sliders work differently per template: for example, Zero has square corners and its own spacing. The dashboard tells you which sliders a template ignores.

How to choose a template#

The template picker in the dashboard: five cards with previews, the current one marked "In your store"

  1. Open Storefront Settings β†’ Appearance in the dashboard, or go to dashboard.tiny-shops.com/storefront-settings.
  2. In Storefront template, look at the previews and pick a card.
  3. Press Apply. Buyers see the new template right away.

Switching back works the same way: pick your previous template and apply it. The Save button at the top of the page doesn't change the template; only Apply does.

Or ask Nano in the dashboard: "Switch my store to the Menu template."
