Updates and News

Telegram newsletters and online store via bot — new integration in BooStore.pro!

We have added full-featured Telegram newsletters through your own bot. Now products, promos, news and articles reach subscribers right inside the messenger — fast, beautiful and automatic. No third-party mailing services: everything works from your site's control panel.

What this gives you

A subscriber taps “Start” once in your bot and is automatically added to the newsletter base. You compose a message, choose the audience, and it reaches every subscriber in their language. Product images are sent as real Telegram pictures, not bare links.

Subscriber collection — automatic

• The base grows on its own — users subscribe with the /start command right in the bot.
• Import and export — load an existing base or export the current one to CSV.
• Each subscriber's language — the message arrives in the language the user chose (or is detected automatically).
• Profile in settings — a subscriber can set an email, delete it, or change the language themselves.

What the newsletter can do

• Different content types — plain text, catalog products, promos and special offers, blog articles and news.
• Product collection — pick products by ID or gather sale items/new arrivals/bestsellers/reduced/latest in one click.
• Short/full description, sizes, image — everything is toggled with checkboxes.
• Separate sending — each product or promo goes out as its own message.
• By schedule — delayed sending at a chosen date and time.
• Automatic currency conversion — prices are shown in the site currency, converted at the current rate.
• Delete after sending — the newsletter does not clutter the database (checked by default).

Special offers right in the bot

The bot's main menu has “Special offers” and “Latest arrivals” buttons. The subscriber picks a category — Sale, New, Bestsellers, Reduced price — and gets a selection of products with price, image and link. All automatic and in their language.

A full online store in Telegram

The bot lets you not only send newsletters, but also create a full online store right in Telegram: a customer browses categories and subcategories, views product cards with price, image and sizes, flips pages, and searches by name and SKU. All data is taken from your catalog automatically — no programmers or third-party services. Learn more about the store in Telegram.

Sending to groups and channels

You can use the same bot to publish newsletters to a regular Telegram group or channel (for example, t.me/your_channel). Add the bot to the group and messages will be delivered there.

How to connect

1. Create a bot with @BotFather (/newbot) and copy the API token.
2. In the control panel open “Messenger newsletters” and connect a channel by entering the token.
3. Share the bot link: https://t.me/your_bot.
4. Create a newsletter — choose the type, collect products or text, set a schedule and send.

The new integration is already available to all sites on BooStore.pro. Connect your bot — and delivering news, products and promos to your customers becomes instant and visual.

Scheduled Article Publishing on BooStore.pro: Another Step Towards Content Automation

We are excited to announce a new feature that will make managing your online store even simpler and more efficient — scheduled article publishing! Automating your content marketing has never been easier.

This is an incredibly convenient tool for SEO optimization and regular blogging. For search engines, the regularity and consistency of website updates are crucial. The scheduled publishing feature allows you to prepare a content plan for a week or a month ahead in a single day, ensuring a smooth, systematic release of materials without constant manual control. You no longer need to watch the calendar and the clock to release important content on weekends or holidays — the system handles everything for you.

How it works

The entire automation process takes just a few seconds and consists of three simple steps:

• Set the time: when adding an article, specify the desired future date and time for its release.
• Activate the feature: check the box for «Scheduled publication».
• Turn off publication access: to keep it hidden until the specified publishing date arrives.

That is it! The system saves your settings, and the article will automatically appear on the website exactly at the scheduled time. Free up your time for strategic tasks by leaving the routine to BooStore.pro automation.

Markup Optimization: data-hotengine-marking

What changed?
The data-hotengine-marking-* attributes are now located directly on the product and article blocks, instead of a separate <span class="hotengine-marking">.

Affected types:
blog_catalog_page_incategory — article list
shop_catalog_page_incategory — product list
+ Product and article display widgets

Why it's better:
— Fewer nested elements in HTML
— Script simplification (no need to look for a child span)
— Attributes are always where the data is

For users:
If your scripts use the .hotengine-marking selector for blog/shop lists — replace it with [data-hotengine-marking-type].

Done:
For all websites where scripts are connected via menu blocks — the update has been performed automatically.

BooStore.pro added support for a new internet marketing standard — integration with AI agents via the llms.txt file

We have officially announced the implementation of a cutting-edge tool for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — the ability to create a system manifest "llms.txt" directly from your online store's control panel.

What is the llms.txt file used for?

The web search landscape is changing rapidly: millions of users worldwide now look for products, services, and reviews not through classic search bars, but by asking direct questions to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity.

The "llms.txt" file is a new open standard that acts as a "business card" and a concise guide to your website, written in the Markdown language easily understood by artificial intelligence.

What this integration brings to your business:

• Direct recommendations from AI: Models receive a structured summary of your store (payment methods, delivery terms, key product categories), allowing them to accurately answer user queries and provide a ready-made response complete with a link to your website.
• Server resource savings from AI crawlers: Instead of time-consuming and expensive scanning of heavy HTML code filled with scripts, Large Language Model (LLM) bots instantly read clean facts, reducing the load on your server.
• Generative SEO (GEO): This is your direct step toward ensuring your online store appears in the results of the smart search engines of the future.

How to set this up in BooStore.pro?

We have made the implementation process as simple as possible by fully automating complex server routing and delivering correct response headers (Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8). You don't need to modify server configuration files or write code.

To create an AI knowledge base, follow three simple steps in your admin panel:

1. Go to the "Pages" section.
2. Click the "Create a functional page" button.
3. In the dropdown list, select the type: "LLM (AI knowledge base / llms.txt)".

The system will automatically link the page to the root address of the website https://your-domain.com/llms.txt, ensuring proper data processing and multi-language support for large language model bots. Implement innovations and stay one step ahead of the competition with BooStore.pro!

Ready-made style sets for forms added to the design editor

New interface customization functionality has been added to the design editor. Now you can quickly change the design and color scheme of web forms without editing CSS.

• Where to find it: «Design Editor → Style Catalog → Forms»
• What has been added: More than 20 ready-made presets (Minimalism, Gradients, Glassmorphism, Underlines) in various colors (Blue, Green, Red, Orange, Purple).
• How it works: Select a style from the drop-down list — the preview form instantly changes its look. A direct link to the active CSS file is displayed below.

Fast data import and export from clipboard added to BooStore.pro

We are pleased to announce an update to the BooStore.pro platform functionality, which will significantly speed up your website content management.

A fast import and export tool has now been integrated into the system, allowing you to instantly add new elements or bulk update existing positions directly via the clipboard within the WEB interface.

What exactly has changed and how it works:

• Product Variants (Modifications): Forget about manually creating each modification. In addition to the standard automatic import from XML, XLS, or CSV files, as well as text import from the clipboard, fast import of variants in JSON format is now available. This guarantees a precise data structure: you can export the current variant matrix, quickly edit it, and instantly import it back.
• Wholesale Prices (Instant paste from Excel): Along with the classic price import from XML and Excel files, a fast format has been introduced for wholesale prices. Data is pasted directly from the clipboard as plain text, using tab characters (when copying columns from Excel or Google Sheets) or a vertical bar (|) as separators. Wholesale prices can be imported both for variants and main product pages.
• Search Filter Characteristic Values: Catalog filter population has been enhanced with JSON exchange import. New properties are created instantly, while existing ones are updated without duplicating connections. Meanwhile, the previous plain text import functionality remains fully available.
• Payment and Shipping Methods: Logistics settings are now also under the control of smart import. Move and copy your pre-configured shipping options and payment gateways in JSON format to replicate them across the site much faster.
• Main and Mobile Menu Items: In the menu editor, you can now expand a complex multi-level menu for the desktop version or set up an optimized menu for mobile devices in a single click via the clipboard.

Note: Full automatic import of large catalogs from XML, XLS, and CSV files for variants and wholesale prices continues to operate normally, just as before. The new clipboard tool is designed specifically for targeted and maximum speed data editing "on the fly".

Added Automatic Creation of Waybills (TTN) for Nova Poshta + Creation of Counterparties (Senders)

We are pleased to announce the release of a new functionality that will significantly simplify and speed up the dispatch of orders. Now the platform supports automatic generation of express waybills (TTN) via the official "Nova Poshta" API with full support for counterparties.

Brief configuration instructions:

1. Before starting the configuration, be sure to go to the section «Магазин» → «Доставка» and enter your Nova Poshta API key. You can get this key in your personal account on the official Nova Poshta website.
2. Go to the admin panel path: «Магазин» → «Доставка» → «Выбор способа доставки (в форме оформления заказа)».
3. Add a new or open an existing delivery method.
4. Activate the switch to the position «Api:Включить NOVAPOSHTA API».
5. In the row that appears «Создание ТТН», select the value «Включить».
6. Be sure to click the save delivery method button.
7. After saving, return to the item and click on the configuration icon in the form of a «Gear» next to the TTN enabling option.
8. In the window that opens, specify your sender (counterparty).
9. In order not to configure the data again for related methods, check the checkbox «Использовать для всех способов доставки». This will automatically apply the selected sender to all other delivery options working via the Nova Poshta API.

Use the new automation tools to eliminate human error when filling out waybills and spend less time on routine shipment processing.

Quick price editing added to booking slots

We have added a new handy tool «Quick price replacement» for slot modules in "Booking" on BooStore. Now you can update rates several times faster!

No need to open each slot individually anymore — just specify the old price and the new price to update them with a single click in all required positions at once.

What has changed:

• Mass replacement: Instant price updates based on the "Was / Become" principle.
• Search by name: Ability to update prices only for a specific group of slots by entering a part of its name.
• Change counter: Upon completion, the system will immediately display the exact number of updated records in the database.

New Update: SEO-Friendly URLs (Slugs) for Products on BooStore.pro

We continue to improve the BooStore.pro platform, making your online stores even more efficient for search engines and more convenient for users. Previously, we successfully implemented human-readable URLs (slugs) for the blog module, and now this functionality is available for the product catalog as well!

BooStore.pro Adds SEO-Friendly URL Support for Article Catalog: A New Level of SEO Optimization

We are pleased to announce a significant update to the BooStore.pro platform. From now on, all publications in the article catalog can use SEO-Friendly URLs (Slugs). This allows you to replace standard numeric identifiers (e.g., /15282.htm) with meaningful addresses that contain keywords.

Why is this beneficial for SEO?

• Improved Ranking: Search engines (Google, Bing) consider the presence of keywords in the page URL.
• Increased CTR in Search Results: Users are more likely to click on links that clearly describe the article's content before they even click.
• User Convenience: These links are easier to read, copy, and share on social media or messaging apps.

Global Multilingual Management

One of the main advantages of this update is simplified management for multilingual websites. Now you can:

Set identical page names (Slugs) for different language versions.

For example, an article about ad setup can have the same path /google-ads-setup.htm across all language folders (/ua/, /en/, /pl/). This significantly eases analytics, cross-linking, and content structuring while maintaining a consistent standard for the entire project.

Update your links today to make your content even more visible to search engines and more convenient for your customers!

🔐 Security First: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is now on BooStore.pro!

We continue to improve the BooStore.pro platform, prioritizing the protection of your data and the security of your online stores. We are pleased to announce the implementation of a major update — Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Why is this important?

A regular password, even the most complex one, may not be enough today. 2FA adds an extra layer of protection: even if an attacker finds out your password, they won't be able to log in to your account without a special one-time code generated on your smartphone.

How does it work?

We have integrated the Google Authenticator standard. This is a reliable and free solution that works offline and does not require sending paid SMS.

How to enable protection:

• Go to your profile in the BooStore.pro control panel.
• Find the "Two-Factor Authentication" section.
• Scan the QR code using an app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar).
• Enter the verification code from the app to activate.

BooStore.pro — creating reliable tools for your success!
