The case for a B2B ordering portal in Nepal
Nepal is a market of about 29 million people where B2B and wholesale portals are growing fast, with Kathmandu as its capital.
Nepal's digital wallets eSewa and Khalti have made online payments mainstream in just a few years. Stores that combine wallet payments with valley-wide fast delivery are winning.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Nepal already compare options on their phones; a B2B ordering portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts eSewa turns that research into orders.
Local details we build into every Nepal project
A store that works in Nepal respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Nepalese rupee: NPR amounts from product page to invoice, so Nepal buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Nepali and English, so a Nepal customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Nepal recognise: eSewa and Khalti and delivery through Nepal Post.
Domain, phone and contact
A .np domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +977, so a customer in Nepal taps once to call or message.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
We do not hand Nepal 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 Nepal — electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries and handicrafts — 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.
What your B2B ordering portal includes
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Nepal operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Nepal team keeps its current way of working.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Customers in Nepal can pay with eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay QR, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Delivery can be booked through Nepal Post, Pathao and Upaya City Cargo or dispatched by your own riders around Nepal.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Multiple stock points in Nepal are supported, so a Nepal order ships from the nearest one.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Nepal guide stock and marketing decisions.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Nepal look for products, in Nepali and English if your audience needs it.
Getting paid online in Nepal
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Nepal, customers expect to pay with eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay QR, and many also look for cash on delivery, ConnectIPS bank transfer and cards.
We integrate suitable gateways and providers for your business category and merchant eligibility, handle payment status, failed-payment retries and refunds, and keep sensitive card data with the provider rather than on your servers. All amounts are shown in Nepalese rupee (NPR).
- ConnectIPS bank transfer
- Fonepay QR
- ESewa
- Cards
- Khalti
- Cash on delivery
Fulfilment options for Nepal orders
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Nepal Post, Pathao, Upaya City Cargo, NCM (Nepal Can Move) and Aramex Nepal, or route orders to your own riders and stores.
Delivery rules can price by distance, weight, postcode or zone, offer same-day slots in dense areas, and switch on pickup points or click-and-collect where customers prefer them.
Rules Nepal sellers must respect online
For Nepal sellers, tax first: Nepal VAT is 13%, administered by the Inland Revenue Department.
Two frameworks shape the build: the Individual Privacy Act 2018 and its 2020 regulations, and the Consumer Protection Act 2018, which requires clear pricing and grievance handling.
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.
Nepal sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Daraz Nepal, SastoDeal and HamroBazar are where many shoppers in Nepal start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
Your B2B ordering portal becomes the hub: marketplaces and social shops become extra outlets fed from one catalogue, while repeat customers buy directly from you at better margins.
Who we build for in Nepal
Popular online categories in Nepal include electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries, handicrafts, beauty and books. In Nepal, 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 Nepal, 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 Nepal, connected to the systems you already use.
Add a mobile app for Nepal customers
Phones carry most traffic in Nepal. 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.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your B2B ordering portal, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Nepal time (UTC+5:45), in Nepali and English if you want.
- BI and reporting tools
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- CRM and lead management
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Credit and payment gateways
- Logistics and freight partners
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Accounting and e-invoicing
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
How we phase your B2B ordering portal
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Nepal:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for NPR, eSewa and Nepal Post from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Nepal customers actually buy. |
We track order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity on a live dashboard from day one, so Nepal results are visible, not promised.
Time zones, language and support
Our team covers UTC+5:45 — 0h 15m ahead of India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Nepal client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Nepali. 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; clients in Nepal are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
