Why an online store makes sense for Kostanay
Kostanay is a commercial centre in Kazakhstan with a population of roughly 259,000, and one of the places where we build online stores 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 online store keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
Localised for Kostanay, not translated into it
A store that works in Kostanay respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Kazakhstani tenge (KZT), formatted the way Kostanay customers read them.
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
Using .kz where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. 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
Every NNT Mart online store in Kostanay is engineered to the client's own brief — the web platform, the admin panel and, when you need one, a mobile application built for your workflow.
Typical clients include D2C start-ups, speciality shops, manufacturers selling direct and grocery and food businesses. 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.
What your online store includes
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Kostanay business sells.
Branded storefront
A fast, mobile-first design on your own domain with your colours, typography, banners, landing pages and SEO-ready category structure. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Kostanay drive revenue.
Catalogue manager
Categories, brands, variants, bundles, specifications, images, videos and bulk import/export so your team can manage thousands of SKUs. Content and design can follow how customers in Kostanay search and buy, including Kazakh and Russian where you need it.
Checkout and payments
Guest and account checkout, local payment gateways, wallets, bank transfer, cash on delivery, coupons and abandoned-cart recovery. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Kostanay teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Orders and fulfilment
Order confirmation, packing slips, courier booking, tracking links, cancellations, returns, refunds and customer notifications. Customers in Kostanay can pay with Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments, Halyk Homebank and Visa and Mastercard, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Inventory and locations
Stock by warehouse or store, low-stock alerts, store pickup, local delivery zones and sync with your existing inventory system. Shipping rules can use Kazpost, CDEK and Kaspi Delivery as well as your own delivery staff in Kostanay.
Growth and reporting
Promotions, loyalty, reviews, email and WhatsApp campaigns, plus dashboards for revenue, products, customers and conversion. Multiple stock points in Kazakhstan are supported, so a Kostanay order ships from the nearest one.
Payments customers in Kostanay expect
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Kazakhstan, customers expect to pay with Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments, Halyk Homebank and Visa and Mastercard, and many also look for QR payments and cash on delivery.
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 Kazakhstani tenge (KZT).
- Cash on delivery
- QR payments
- Visa and Mastercard
- Halyk Homebank
- Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments
Delivery and fulfilment from Kostanay
Your online store 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.
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 Kostanay sellers must respect online
Tax basics: Kazakhstan VAT rose to 16% from January 2026 under the new Tax Code, with registration thresholds for local businesses.
Customer data is handled with the Law on Personal Data and Its Protection, which includes data-localisation requirements in mind, and the storefront follows the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights and the Law on Trade Activities governing e-commerce.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser in Kostanay.
Marketplaces vs. your own online store in Kostanay
Many Kostanay sellers already list on Kaspi.kz Marketplace, Wildberries, Ozon, Halyk Market and Technodom. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
Your online store becomes the hub: marketplaces and social shops become extra outlets fed from one catalogue, while repeat customers buy directly from you at better margins.

From first demo to growth in Kostanay
Value first, depth later. For an online store serving Kostanay, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch store | Storefront, catalogue, checkout, payments, shipping and admin go live. Configured for KZT, Kaspi.kz payments and Kaspi Red instalments and Kazpost from the start. |
| Grow | Promotions, loyalty, reviews, marketing integrations and SEO content. |
| Scale | Mobile app, marketplace feeds, multi-warehouse and ERP sync. Reviewed against how Kostanay customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on conversion rate, average order value, cart abandonment, repeat-purchase rate, page speed (Core Web Vitals) and return rate — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
