how to setup

First of all, see the dependencies in the requirements file or type pip install -r requirements.txt to install the dependencies automatically.

The second process is to create a bot with the Bot Father and get your bot token and to make test payments you should have a token from a payment provider, learn more about this in the telegram payment page.

Now, put your tokens in the file /telegram_ecommerce/utils/user_credentials.json, in this file you can put the admin's usernames and the credentials of your MySQL database. Moreover, you can change some settings in the consts.py file, like the default language.

After all, you can run the bot typing:

 $ python bot.py
