About this business
This is a complete Telegram bot that works as a catalog of local specialists ("masters") and digital products. Buyers search for free. Sellers create a profile with their own listings, a rating and reviews, so the profile works like a small website. After a free trial, sellers pay a subscription in Telegram Stars. You can run it for your own city or niche community, or rebrand it. Features • Seller profiles: name, category, city, description and price. Each profile gets a unique ID (S1234) and a shareable deep link. Sellers can edit or pause their profile at any time. • Listings: up to 20 per seller, for services or digital products. Each listing has its own category and city, or “Online”, which matches every city. • Search: by category, city (common aliases are understood), keyword or seller ID. Results are paginated, and each one has Profile and Contact buttons. • Reviews: 1–5 stars with optional text. A buyer can leave one review per seller, only after pressing Contact, and sellers can't review themselves. • Monetization: a free trial followed by a Telegram Stars subscription. The default is a 3-day trial, then 15 ⭐ per 30 days, and both can be changed in .env. Every payment extends the term. The bot sends a reminder about a day before expiry and removes unpaid profiles. • Refunds: when Telegram reports a Stars refund, the bot removes the days that payment granted, along with any related referral bonuses. Running the refund twice changes nothing. The admin gets a notification. • Referral program: each user has a personal invite link. The referrer earns bonus days, limited by a monthly cap. Invitees get a longer trial and a bonus on their first payment. • Moderation: profiles and listings are checked against a banned-word list. Buyers have a Report button, and the admin has /stats, /ban, /unban and /delitem. • RU/EN interface: the bot asks for a language on the first /start, and users can switch later with /language. All texts are in texts.py, and the command menu is set up for both languages. • Hardening: all user text is HTML-escaped. Callback data is parsed defensively, with ownership checked on the server. Database writes are serialized, with one transaction per operation. The bot uses long polling with timeouts and comes with an optional watchdog. Tech stack: Python 3.11+ (the Docker image uses 3.12), aiogram 3, SQLite (aiosqlite), and Telegram Stars payments (XTR, no payment provider needed). Included: full source code (about 4,000 lines of Python plus shell scripts, no tokens or secrets), 67 automated tests, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore, run.sh, watchdog.sh, an English README with a short Russian section, .env.example, MIT license and full transfer of rights. Source code only; a transfer of the bot's Telegram username can be discussed. Honest notes: pre-revenue; no users, sellers or revenue are claimed. Docker files are included, but the image has not been test-built; the bot was tested with Python directly. SQLite with a single process comfortably handles up to a few thousand sellers; for more than that, move to PostgreSQL. The buyer will need their own bot token from @BotFather and a server or VPS to run it.
Growth opportunities
- Launch for a specific city or niche community, onboard sellers, and rebrand or adjust the subscription settings.
Risks to consider
- Pre-revenue with no users or sellers. Docker image has not been test-built; the bot was tested with Python directly. Buyer needs their own Telegram bot token and server/VPS. SQLite single-process use suits up to a few thousand sellers; larger scale would need PostgreSQL.
