Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Kostanay
Kostanay is a commercial centre in Kazakhstan home to about 259,000 people, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
Northern agricultural and automotive city — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Kazakhstan's super-app Kaspi.kz has made instalments and instant payments the norm. Brands need Kazakh and Russian content and a delivery plan for a very large country.
For a business in Kostanay, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own B2B ordering portal keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
What makes a Kostanay store feel local
Conversion in Kostanay depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Kazakhstani tenge: KZT amounts from product page to invoice, so Kostanay buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Kazakh and Russian, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Kostanay recognise: Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments and Halyk Homebank and delivery through Kazpost.
Domain, phone and contact
A .kz domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +7, so a customer in Kostanay taps once to call or message.
Custom-built for how you sell in Kostanay
We do not hand Kostanay businesses a ready-made theme: we study how you sell, then build the online platform and Android/iOS app your customers and staff actually need.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Kazakhstan — electronics, fashion, home appliances and groceries — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
Core modules we build for Kostanay 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. Checkout is configured for Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments, Halyk Homebank and Visa and Mastercard.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Delivery can be booked through Kazpost, CDEK and Kaspi Delivery or dispatched by your own riders around Kostanay.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Stock can be held in Kostanay or anywhere in Kazakhstan, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Kostanay, so you see what to promote.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Kostanay look for products, in Kazakh and Russian if your audience needs it.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Kostanay teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Kostanay
Popular online categories in Kazakhstan include electronics, fashion, home appliances, groceries, beauty and children's goods. Northern agricultural and automotive city — which shapes what local businesses need online. In Kostanay, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
We map how wholesalers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
FMCG distributors
For FMCG distributors, we usually start with quick and bulk ordering, then add accounting and e-invoicing once orders are flowing.
Industrial suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for industrial suppliers in Kostanay, connected to the systems you already use.
Electrical and hardware traders
Electrical and hardware traders get quotes and approvals plus sales-team tools workflows tailored to their operations.
Medical and institutional suppliers
We map how medical and institutional suppliers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Dealer networks
For dealer networks, we usually start with business accounts, then add logistics and freight partners once orders are flowing.
Getting paid online in Kostanay
Shoppers in Kostanay rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments, Halyk Homebank and Visa and Mastercard, then QR payments and cash on delivery.
Gateway selection depends on your category and merchant approval; we connect the provider, reconcile payments, automate retries and refunds, and never store raw card data. Prices, taxes and refunds appear in Kazakhstani tenge (KZT).
- QR payments
- Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments

Fulfilment options for Kostanay orders
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Kazpost, CDEK, Kaspi Delivery, Glovo and DHL, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Kostanay.
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.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Kostanay
Kaspi.kz Marketplace, Wildberries and Ozon are where many shoppers in Kostanay start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
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.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
For Kostanay sellers, tax first: Kazakhstan VAT rose to 16% from January 2026 under the new Tax Code, with registration thresholds for local businesses.
On privacy we design around the Law on Personal Data and Its Protection, which includes data-localisation requirements; on consumer rights the store reflects the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights and the Law on Trade Activities governing e-commerce.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser in Kazakhstan.
Take your Kostanay store onto customers' phones
Phones carry most traffic in Kazakhstan. 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 Kostanay time (UTC+5), in Kazakh and Russian if you want.
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Logistics and freight partners
- CRM and lead management
- Credit and payment gateways
- BI and reporting tools
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 Kostanay, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for KZT, Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments and Kazpost from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Kostanay 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.
