🧱 Overview of What You Need

1. Telegram Bot

• Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather

• Save the bot token

2. WooCommerce Store

• WooCommerce REST API must be enabled

• Get your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret

3. Python Environment

Install required libraries:

pip install python-telegram-bot woocommerce flask

🧪 Example Use Case: Telegram Bot for New Orders

Step 1: Basic Telegram Bot Setup (Python)

from telegram import Bot

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = "YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"
CHAT_ID = "YOUR_CHAT_ID"  # Your Telegram user ID or group ID

bot = Bot(token=TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN)

def send_telegram_message(message):
bot.send_message(chat_id=CHAT_ID, text=message)

Step 2: WooCommerce API Integration

from woocommerce import API

wcapi = API(
    url="https://yourstore.com",
    consumer_key="ck_xxx",
    consumer_secret="cs_xxx",
    version="wc/v3"
)

def get_latest_orders():
    return wcapi.get("orders").json()

Step 3: Notify on New Order (Polling or Webhook)

Option A: Polling (Not real-time, simpler)

import time

last_order_id = None

while True:
    orders = get_latest_orders()
    if orders:
        latest = orders[0]
        if latest['id'] != last_order_id:
            msg = f"🛒 New Order!\nCustomer: {latest['billing']['first_name']}\nTotal: {latest['total']}"
            send_telegram_message(msg)
            last_order_id = latest['id']
    time.sleep(60)

Option B: Webhook from WooCommerce to Flask (Real-time, better)

1.Create a webhook in WooCommerce:

• Topic: Order Created

• Delivery URL: e.g., https://yourdomain.com/webhook

• Secret: Use something unique

• Flask app to receive webhook:

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/webhook", methods=["POST"])
def wc_webhook():
    data = request.json
    msg = f"🛒 New Order!\nCustomer: {data['billing']['first_name']}\nTotal: {data['total']}"
    send_telegram_message(msg)
    return "OK", 200

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(port=5000)

🧩 Optional Features

• Respond to Telegram commands (/latest_orders)

• Notify on stock status changes

• Add custom filters for big orders, VIP clients, etc.

📦 Packaging It

• Run Flask app on cloud (Heroku, Fly.io, etc.)

• Use ngrok for testing locally with webhooks:

ngrok http 5000

📁 File Contents

• requirements.txt
• bot/config.py
• bot/woo.py
• bot/telegram_bot.py
• webhook/server.py
• run.py

🚀 How to Run Locally

1.Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2.Start the bot:

python run.py

3.Run webhook server (for real-time WooCommerce updates):

python webhook/server.py

4.(Optional) Use ngrok to expose webhook to WooCommerce:

ngrok http 5000

• Then set this https://xxxx.ngrok.io/webhook as the webhook URL in your WooCommerce admin panel under:

• WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Webhooks
