Help with orders and reservations.


Open the Viber admin panel . Install the messenger on the device.

To log in, enter your phone number and provide a vp hr email list confirmation code.

Click the "Create bot" button.

Enter information in the required fields. This is the profile avatar, name, ID (useful for searching the bot), categories and subcategories, language, bot description, website link, email and location.

Click “Create” and save the Viber token.

Download a standard bot (for example, this one ) to your PC and open the index.php and set_webhook.php files in the main folder.

In the first one, you need to replace AUTH_TOKEN with the token received from Viber and HelloBot with the bot name.

In the second file, you also need to replace the token and WEBHOOK_URL with the URL of the index.php file on the hosting.

Upload a webhook for the Viber bot. To check if it is correct, run the set_webhook.php file in the browser. If it opens, then everything is fine. Otherwise, you should correct the error in the address and the PHP file itself.

Go to Viber and open "Public accounts". You need to find the chatbot there. Now it is ready to work.

If a company has added a link to a website, Viber will allow it to remain if the resource has an SSL certificate. It provides a more secure connection between the server and client parts.

In 2023, SSL has become a common and even mandatory attribute of commercial sites in many niches. Therefore, it is most likely already installed. Companies that have not yet made an SSL should get a certificate for money (Sectigo Positive SSL) or take a free one (SSL Let's Encrypt).
