Development of Telegram Mini App for ticket sales

When is a Mini App needed, and when is a ready-made service enough?

If you need to sell regular tickets for multiple events, you should first evaluate a ready-made ticketing platform. Your own Mini App is needed for a non-standard hall map, special partner rules, connection with your CRM or a single organizer account. Development is justified when these processes are truly important, and not just because the widget looks more interesting than the link.

The studio has real case of ticket sales with Mini App. It covers the choice of location, payment and affiliate program. We evaluate a specific new project according to its rules: the card and commission scheme cannot be transferred between organizers without verification.

Buying scenario without double selling a place

1. The buyer opens the event and selects an available seat.
2. The server creates a reserve for a limited time. Another buyer can no longer make the same reservation.
3. A payment associated with the order is created. The amount and composition are checked on the server.
4. After confirmed payment, a ticket is issued. Repeated notification does not create a second ticket.
5. If time runs out without payment, the reserve is released according to the agreed rule.
6. The ticket status is checked at the entrance. A second scan reveals that the entry has already been marked.

What will the organizer receive?

In the admin panel you need events, a seating chart, prices, quotas, a list of orders and a payment report. The refund should update the ticket status and financial history, not simply remove the buyer from the table. Separate roles are required for the cashier, entry operator and owner. The partner sees his sales; He does not need the personal data of other buyers.

Different ticket types require different interfaces. For free landing, the quantity and category are sufficient. For assigned places you need a map. Multiple visits and rules of use are added to the subscription. We discuss these options before the estimate, because they affect the server logic.

What will we check before starting sales?

• Two buyers simultaneously choose the last place.
• Payment is completed after the reserve has expired: the system operates according to the agreed scenario.
• A repeated payment notification does not double the ticket and the accrual to the partner.
• The operator rescans one QR code.
• The return is reflected in the order, access and report.
• Mini App runs on the phone and reports a clear error when the network is lost.

Payment, cost and preparation

The payment scenario depends on what exactly is being sold. For digital goods and services within Telegram there are separate Telegram Stars rules; For your event, we will check in advance the suitable payment method and the requirements of the provider. We do not connect arbitrary acquiring without checking the product.

The price of a simple bot is from USD 7,500 general section is not the price of the ticket platform with a hall card. Such a system requires a separate calculation. Send us a seat map, types of tickets, return rules and an example of affiliate accrual: on a prototype we will show the purchase path and admin panel.
