Quick Overview
Product and architecture concept for a Telegram-first B2B commerce platform spanning a Mini App storefront and merchant web dashboard.
- Who it serves
- Buyers who shop through Telegram, merchants who sell through a web dashboard, and platform administrators who run the SaaS

Architecture concept only. No implementation repository, live application, payment integration, Telegram integration, or AWS deployment is presented as complete. Gallery images are product-direction concepts, not screenshots of working software.
The Problem
In markets where Telegram is already how people communicate and discover businesses, asking buyers to download a separate shopping app is friction that does not need to exist. Merchants still need a real dashboard to manage catalog, orders, and payments.
The Solution
AradaCart is designed around three roles: buyers who shop through a Telegram Mini App, merchants who manage their store through a web dashboard, and platform administrators who operate the SaaS itself.
The architecture direction is AWS hosted, covering catalog, orders, payments, inventory, merchant subscriptions, and analytics.
My Contribution
Product planning
Defined a proposed three-role model: buyer, merchant, and platform administrator.
Architecture direction
Mapped a Telegram Mini App storefront alongside a separate merchant web dashboard, with AWS as the intended hosting direction.
Key Features
Telegram Mini App storefront
Planned buyer flow for browsing and ordering without leaving Telegram.
Merchant dashboard
Proposed web-based management of catalog, orders, and store settings.
Catalog and inventory
A shared product-management concept for the buyer and merchant experiences.
Orders and payments
A planned transaction lifecycle for B2B purchases.
Subscriptions
A proposed subscription model for merchant access.
Analytics
Planned reporting to give merchants visibility into store performance.

Engineering Challenges
Splitting one product across two very different surfaces
A Telegram Mini App and a merchant web dashboard have different constraints and different users. Keeping catalog, orders, and inventory consistent across both, from a single architecture, is the core design problem.
What I Learned
Planning for a chat native storefront alongside a traditional dashboard has been a useful exercise in designing one data model that serves genuinely different interfaces well.
