Get paid with what your customers already use

WAStore doesn’t process payments or take a percentage. You add your methods in Settings → Payment, and customers see them when they order.

eSewa
Add an “Other” method called eSewa with your eSewa ID or phone number — you can also upload your QR: customers see it at checkout and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.
Khalti
Add an “Other” method called Khalti with your Khalti ID or phone number: customers see it at checkout and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.
Fonepay / bank transfer
Add “Bank transfer” with your bank, account number and account name, or your Fonepay ID; customers copy it at checkout and send you the receipt on WhatsApp.
Cash on delivery
Turn on “Cash on delivery”: nothing to set up, and the customer pays when the order arrives.

Selling on WhatsApp in Nepal

In Nepal most Instagram and Facebook Marketplace sellers close the deal on WhatsApp and get paid on eSewa or Khalti. WAStore turns that into a proper shop with prices in rupees: the customer builds a cart, sees your eSewa or Khalti details at checkout and sends one complete order.

Inside the Kathmandu Valley, Pathao and local riders cover same-day delivery; outside the Valley, parcels go by bus courier and sellers almost always ask for eSewa before shipping because returned parcels are expensive on mountain roads.

Shops in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lalitpur and Biratnagar, and across the country.

Delivery, registration and payments in Nepal

Delivery and couriers

Inside the Kathmandu Valley, Pathao Parcel, Indrive and local riders cover same-day delivery. Outside the Valley, parcels go by bus courier counters (Sajha, local operators) or Nepal Post, and mountain roads make returns expensive — so sellers usually take eSewa or Khalti before the parcel leaves Kathmandu.

Registration and tax

A permanent account number (PAN) from the Inland Revenue Department is the basic tax ID. Once turnover grows, VAT registration (13%) becomes compulsory. Many home sellers start with PAN only; food businesses also follow local municipality hygiene rules.

How customers pay

eSewa and Khalti are how Nepalis pay small sellers: ID, phone number or QR. Fonepay / bank transfer covers larger orders. Cash on delivery works in Kathmandu and Lalitpur; for Pokhara or Biratnagar most sellers ask for a wallet payment first.

What WAStore costs in Nepal

Free forever: up to 50 products, unlimited orders and 0% commission.

In NPR, Pro is रू 1,200 a month or रू 9,100 a year, and that is what your card is charged at checkout.

WAStore vs other options in Nepal

Most WhatsApp store tools no longer take a commission. What differs is how many products you get for free, whether orders are capped, and whether customers see your local payment methods (eSewa and Khalti) when they order.

Platform	Free plan	Orders	Commission	Paid plan
WAStore	50 products, forever	Unlimited	0%	Pro: $7.90/month (up to 200 products)

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Nepal

Can I accept both eSewa and Khalti?

Yes. Add both as separate “Other” methods with their IDs or phone numbers. Customers pick the wallet they already use.

Do I need VAT to sell on WhatsApp?

Not at the very start if you stay under the threshold, but you need a PAN. Check the current VAT threshold with the Inland Revenue Department as it changes.

Can I charge a different delivery fee inside the Kathmandu Valley and for the rest of Nepal?

Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone inside the Kathmandu Valley and another for the rest of Nepal, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.

Can I show my eSewa QR at checkout?

Yes. Add an “Other” method named eSewa, enter your ID and upload the QR image. Customers enlarge it at checkout and pay from the eSewa app.

Is WAStore free in Nepal?

Yes. The free plan doesn’t expire: up to 50 products, unlimited orders and no commission on sales. Pro is optional.

Can I get paid by eSewa and Khalti?

Yes. You add your payment methods in Settings → Payment and customers see them when they order. The money goes straight to you; WAStore never touches payments.

Does WAStore take a commission?

No, not on the free plan and not on Pro. Everything your customer pays is yours.

Do I need WhatsApp Business?

No. It works with regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, and neither you nor your customers install anything.

Can I accept card payments?

Stripe doesn’t open accounts for sellers in Nepal yet, so built-in card checkout isn’t available. You can add a payment link from a local gateway as a “Payment link” method, and customers pay by card there.
