Why Tehran businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
Tehran is a capital and largest city of iran, home to about 8.7 million people, and one of the markets in Iran where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Businesses here work in retail, finance, services, manufacturing and IT; many are based around Valiasr, Tajrish and the Tehran Grand Bazaar.
Logistics are supported by Imam Khomeini International Airport, Mehrabad Airport and the Tehran Metro, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Iran’s online shopping is large and domestic: Digikala, Divar and Instagram dominate and Shetab cards process payments. International cards and many global cloud tools are unavailable, so stores here need local gateways and in-country hosting.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Tehran already compare options on their phones; a B2B ordering portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts Shetab domestic cards turns that research into orders.
What makes a Tehran store feel local
Conversion in Tehran depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Iranian rial (IRR), formatted the way Tehran customers read them.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Persian (Farsi), Azerbaijani and Kurdish, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Tehran recognise: Shetab domestic cards and Shaparak payment gateways (Zarinpal, IDPay) and delivery through Iran Post.
Domain, phone and contact
A .ir domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +98, so a customer in Tehran taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
With University of Tehran, Sharif University of Technology and Amirkabir University close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Tehran.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Tehran business
Whatever your business sells in Tehran, N&T Software designs and develops the B2B ordering portal and the matching mobile app exactly to your requirements — your catalogue, your prices, your payment and delivery rules.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Iran — electronics, fashion, home goods and food and saffron — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Tehran clients
Each module below is configured — or custom-developed — to your requirements. You choose what launches first and what follows in later phases.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Tehran teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Checkout is configured for Shetab domestic cards, Shaparak payment gateways (Zarinpal, IDPay) and Shatel and mobile wallets.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Delivery can be booked through Iran Post, Tipax and Mahex or dispatched by your own riders around Tehran.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Multiple stock points in Iran are supported, so a Tehran order ships from the nearest one.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Tehran drive revenue.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Content and design can follow how customers in Tehran search and buy, including Persian (Farsi) and Azerbaijani where you need it.
Checkout and payment methods for Tehran
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Iran, customers expect to pay with Shetab domestic cards, Shaparak payment gateways (Zarinpal, IDPay) and Shatel and mobile wallets, and many also look for cash on delivery and bank transfer.
Provider approval, settlement time and fees differ by business type, so we shortlist gateways with you, then wire up status updates, refunds and reconciliation in IRR — card details stay with the provider.
For Tehran customers ordering from Valiasr, Tajrish and the Tehran Grand Bazaar, cash-on-delivery and pay-on-pickup rules can be set per delivery zone.
- Shaparak payment gateways (Zarinpal, IDPay)
- Shatel and mobile wallets
- Bank transfer
- Shetab domestic cards
- Cash on delivery
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Tehran
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Iran Post, Tipax, Mahex, Snapp! Express, Alopeyk and Chapar, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Tehran.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
Connectivity in the area — Imam Khomeini International Airport, Mehrabad Airport and the Tehran Metro — makes regional and national dispatch from Tehran practical.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
For Tehran sellers, tax first: Iran charges 10% VAT (value-added tax) with e-commerce sellers registering through the Moodian tax system for electronic invoices.
Two frameworks shape the build: the Electronic Commerce Law and cybercrime rules; data-protection rules are not consolidated in a single law, and the Electronic Commerce Law (2003) and the Consumer Rights Protection Law.
We build the technical controls — tax-inclusive pricing, compliant invoices, consent banners, terms and return pages, data-access roles and audit logs. We are not a law firm, so final legal and tax positions should be confirmed with your own adviser in Iran.
Tehran sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Many Tehran sellers already list on Digikala, Divar, Basalam, Snapp! Market, Torob and Instagram shops. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
Who we build for in Tehran
Popular online categories in Iran include electronics, fashion, home goods, food and saffron, carpets and crafts and cosmetics. Local demand in Tehran is shaped by retail, finance, services, manufacturing and IT, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Tehran, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
For wholesalers, we usually start with contract pricing, then add ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho) once orders are flowing.
FMCG distributors
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for FMCG distributors in Tehran, connected to the systems you already use.
Industrial suppliers
Industrial suppliers get quick and bulk ordering plus credit and payments workflows tailored to their operations.
Electrical and hardware traders
We map how electrical and hardware traders sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Medical and institutional suppliers
For medical and institutional suppliers, we usually start with sales-team tools, then add credit and payment gateways once orders are flowing.
Dealer networks
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for dealer networks in Tehran, connected to the systems you already use.
Mobile commerce in Tehran
In Tehran, shoppers browse on phones first. A dealer and sales-representative app lets buyers re-order in seconds, scan products, check statements and receive scheme announcements, while reps take orders at the counter even with patchy connectivity.
One backend serves the website and the apps, and the apps ship under your own Google Play and App Store accounts — so what you change once appears everywhere.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Tehran time (UTC+3:30), in Persian (Farsi) and Azerbaijani if you want.
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Credit and payment gateways
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Logistics and freight partners
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
Launch roadmap and success metrics
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Tehran, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for IRR, Shetab domestic cards and Iran Post from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Tehran customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
Support hours and communication for Tehran
Our team covers UTC+3:30 — 2h behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Tehran client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Persian. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your B2B ordering portal.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Tehran clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
