TrendForU — Telegram shop bot & Mini App

Built a Telegram bot and Mini App for the TrendForU streetwear brand. Customers browse the catalog, view product images, add items to cart, and check out without leaving Telegram. Drop notifications, order tracking, and loyalty points are synced with the main Django e-commerce backend.

TrendForU's audience lives on Telegram and Instagram. Pushing them to a separate website added friction to weekly drops — every extra tap cost conversions. The brand needed a way to sell directly inside Telegram while reusing the existing Django catalog, payments, and loyalty system.

• Telegram bot built on the official Bot API with a Mini App (Web App) for the full shop UI
• Catalog, product detail pages, cart, and checkout rendered as a Telegram Mini App synced with the main Django backend via REST API
• Drop notifications pushed to subscribers the moment new items go live
• Order status updates and shipping tracking delivered directly in chat
• Loyalty points shared with the website — buyers earn points whether they shop on the web or inside Telegram
• Mobile-first UI matching the brand's look and feel, adapted to Telegram's theme

• Zero-friction checkout — customers buy without leaving Telegram
• Drop notifications reach subscribers instantly, increasing first-hour sell-through
• Single source of truth — bot and website share catalog, inventory, and loyalty data
• Mobile-native experience matched to TrendForU's Instagram-driven audience
• Re-engagement channel — direct messaging to buyers without ad spend
