E-commerce Website Development in Nepal
An online store is an operations problem wearing a website. We build the checkout, but we spend just as long on what happens after the order - because that is where shops in Nepal actually lose money.
Cash on delivery is still the default here, which means your store has to handle a return rate a card-first market never plans for. Stock has to be right, the delivery partner has to be told, and someone has to confirm the order by phone. A shop that ignores any of that looks finished and then quietly stops being used.
What e-commerce development covers here
Storefront and catalogue
Product structure that survives growth - variants, categories and filters that still work at a thousand products. Search that finds things people spell approximately.
Nepali payments, done properly
eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay, IME Pay, bank transfer with receipt upload, and cash on delivery. All verified server-side, so an order is only paid when the gateway says so, not when the browser came back.
Order operations
Confirmation calls, COD status, partial dispatch, returns and refunds - modelled in the admin rather than tracked in a side spreadsheet. Delivery partner handover and tracking numbers included.
Stock that is trusted
One source of truth for inventory, reservations at checkout so two customers cannot buy the last item, and a low-stock alert that reaches a human.
Growth built in
Product schema for rich results, a feed for Facebook and Google Shopping, abandoned-cart recovery, and pages fast enough to survive a mobile data connection.
What we build on
- WooCommerce when your team wants a familiar admin
- Next.js with a headless backend when speed is the priority
- All Nepali gateways plus card payments where needed
- Hosted on AstraCloud with SSL, backups and caching configured
- Staging store, so a change is tested before customers see it
How a project runs
- 1
Talk
A conversation about the problem, not a feature list. We ask what happens today, who does it, and what it costs when it goes wrong.
- 2
Scope
A written scope with phases, what is explicitly out, and a price against each phase. You can take this document to another firm - that is fine, and it means you are comparing like with like.
- 3
Build
Fortnightly demos on real data. You see progress in the working thing, not in a percentage on a chart.
- 4
Launch
Staging first, a rehearsed cutover, and someone watching for the first days. Redirects, certificates and DNS handled by us.
- 5
Support
A handover you can act on, and a maintenance option if you want us to keep watching. Not compulsory.
Questions we get asked
WooCommerce or a custom store?
WooCommerce for most shops: the admin is familiar, the ecosystem is large, and it is cheaper to run. Custom when your catalogue or ordering rules do not fit a product-and-variant model, or when the store is one part of a larger system.
Can you connect our delivery partner?
Where they publish an API, yes. Where they do not, we build a structured export and an import for the status updates, which is far better than typing them twice.
Do you handle product photography and listings?
We handle listing setup and can produce the image treatment and templates. Photography itself we usually arrange with a specialist rather than pretend to be one.
How do you deal with cash on delivery returns?
By treating a COD order as unpaid until the courier remits, and by making the return path a first-class flow in the admin. Shops that treat COD as paid on dispatch end up with revenue figures they cannot reconcile.
Often bought together
Everything we build can be deployed straight onto AstraCloud hosting or a VPS, in Nepal or internationally, with SSL, backups and the control panel already configured. You are not obliged to host with us, and the price of the build does not change either way.
