Benefits of having your own exchange bot
- Additional income. You earn a commission on every exchange processed via the bot. In essence it’s your personal “mini-exchange” that monetizes traffic and audience trust.
- 24/7 autonomy. The flow runs around the clock. After initial setup, the bot handles orders without your involvement — you focus on user acquisition.
- Branding & trust. The bot operates entirely under your name and style: title, avatar, description, tone — all yours. No third-party mentions — it’s a white-label approach.
- Time & resource savings. Instead of building from scratch, you use the exchange’s ready infrastructure via the AlwaysMoney API — rates, reserves, security, and order execution run on the platform side.

94.67BWhere a crypto bot fits: use cases & scenarios
- Telegram channels & communities. If you run a crypto/finance/trading channel or chat, the bot adds value: exchange directly in Telegram, with no “external site hops.” Pin the link in the description and remind subscribers periodically.
- Crypto websites & blogs. Place a “Swap via Telegram Bot” button on pages — visitors start exchanging right from the messenger. Brand the bot to match your site’s design.
- Crypto services & fintech startups. The bot can be an extra exchange module for your clients — an easy Telegram entry point, while exchanges are executed by AlwaysMoney through the API.
- Forums & trading communities. Audiences love practical tools. A “homegrown” exchange bot boosts engagement and brings passive income to the owner.
How it works: architecture “bot ↔️ AlwaysMoney”
The flow is simple: the user chats with the bot → the bot uses the AlwaysMoney API → the platform calculates the rate, checks limits/reserves, creates & executes the order → the bot receives statuses and updates the user.
- The user chooses a direction (e.g., BTC → USDT), enters the amount and the destination address.
- The bot requests rate/limits via API and displays deal terms (amount to receive, fee, instructions).
- After confirmation, the bot creates an order via API and returns payment details.
- Payment is tracked; once confirmed on-chain, the order is executed and funds are sent to the specified address.
- The bot announces completion and returns a TxID/operation identifier.

Step-by-step launch guide
Step 1. Register a bot via @BotFather
- Find @BotFather in Telegram → press “Start”.
- Use
/newbot: set a display name (any language) and a unique username in Latin characters, 5–32 chars, ending withbot(e.g.,MyCryptoExchangeBot). - Save the API token — it’s the control key for your bot. Keep it secret.
Step 2. Create a partner account with AlwaysMoney
- Create an account at alwaysmoney.org, enable 2FA, set a strong password.
- Review partner terms in your dashboard (the “Partners” section).
- Questions? — message support: we’ll help choose a commission model and advise on integration.
Step 3. Get API access
Documentation: https://alwaysmoney.org/partner-api/
- In your dashboard, open the “API” section and generate keys (typically API Login and API Key).
- Enable required methods: quotes, order creation, status retrieval.
- If needed, restrict calls by the server IP that will access the API.
- Store credentials in a password manager and never share them.
Step 4. Integrate the bot’s logic with the AlwaysMoney API
You have two options:
- No-code / with team assistance: send AlwaysMoney support your partner login, bot token, and a link to the platform where the bot will be used — specialists will connect and test the integration.
- With a developer: use popular Telegram libraries (Python
python-telegram-bot, Node.jstelegraf, etc.). Add API Login/API Key to request headers, and implement handlers for:/start— greeting and exchange wizard;- Direction selection: fetch live directions via API (no manual lists);
- Amount input → min/max checks, reserves, payout calculation;
- Terms confirmation → create order → provide payment details;
- Polling/webhooks for statuses → completion notice → show TxID.
Step 5. Personalization & usability
- Avatar & profile: via BotFather:
/setuserpic,/setdescription(up to 512 chars),/setabouttext(up to 120 chars). - Commands:
/setcommands— add/start,/help,/rates,/status. - Tone of voice: short, polite, clear messages. Split complex steps into 2–3 concise prompts.
- Multilingual support: start with your core language; add English and others as you scale.
Step 6. Embed the bot in your channels
- Website: add a prominent “Swap in Telegram” button linked to
https://t.me/YourBotUsername. Create a mini-landing “How the bot works” with steps and benefits. - Telegram channel: announce the launch, place the link in the description, pin a post, and remind followers periodically.
- Groups/chats: the bot can handle commands in groups (with privacy disabled), but exchanges are best processed in private chats.
- Social & video: a short screencast with a real exchange boosts trust and conversion.
Step 7. Pre-launch testing
- Walk through all branches: valid/invalid inputs, cancellations, on-chain confirmation delays.
- Run a small test exchange.
- Check copy, buttons, “silent” branches — every path should have a clear response.

Branding, copy & UX: make the bot truly yours
Trust is key to conversion. A few rules that noticeably uplift CR:
- Name & username. Clear and memorable (e.g., SwapNow Bot, FastXchangeBot).
- Avatar & description. Recognizable logo, a short tagline: “Crypto swaps 24/7. Fast. Clear. No fuss.”
- Prompts & buttons. Put popular routes (BTC→USDT, ETH→USDT, TRX→USDT) on inline buttons.
- Transparent terms. Amount to receive, time estimate, number of confirmations — no fluff.
- Service commands.

- Widgets/banners: simple “3 steps to exchange” infographic + QR code with the bot link.
- Content marketing: posts like “How to swap X to Y in 3 steps,” “How to verify details,” “Common mistakes” — each with a launch-the-bot button.

Operations: orders, statuses, support
Post-launch, operations are minimal, but you should stay in control:
- Track statuses in the AlwaysMoney dashboard: order created → payment received → exchange executed → funds sent → completed.
- Set time expectations. Networks require confirmations. For example, BTC can take longer than TRX/USDT-TRC20 (as a popular network).
- Error handling. Provide friendly prompts for invalid addresses/amounts.
/cancel— abort current flow;/status— check latest orders. - Support. inсlude
/helpand a contact: “Questions? Message support — we’ll help resolve it in minutes.” - Updates. Watch for new routes, limits, and API methods: AlwaysMoney Partner API.

FAQ
It depends on the network and confirmations. Faster chains are near-instant after payment; for BTC, expect longer. The bot reports status at every step.
The bot fetches live rates, limits, and reserves via the AlwaysMoney API, then shows the calculation and asks for confirmation before creating the order.
Fees and limits come from the API when you choose a route and amount. The bot displays them before confirmation. Details are in the docs: Partner API.
Yes: you set the name, username, avatar, description, message copy, and tone. No third-party brand mentions — it’s your white-label bot.
Not necessarily. The AlwaysMoney team can connect a ready bot to the API. For custom flows, bring in a developer (Python/Node.js/PHP).
You receive partner rewards from every exchange processed by the bot. Specific terms are available in the AlwaysMoney partner area.
