Shopify agency for Kathmandu brands
Shopify development for Kathmandu’s pashmina, craft, tea and fashion brands, selling across the valley and to customers and visitors around the world.
Shopify development and growth for Kathmandu brands
Kathmandu and the wider valley, including Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, are home to most of Nepal’s online shoppers and consumer brands. Thamel’s shops sell pashmina, felt, trekking gear and handicrafts to visitors, while Patan’s metalworkers and woodcarvers continue centuries-old crafts. Younger brands sell streetwear, cosmetics, coffee and tea through Instagram and TikTok. For many, a Shopify store means reaching both valley customers and international buyers who first discovered them on a trip.
We work with Kathmandu brands in real time, since we are only 15 minutes apart. Typical projects include stores with eSewa, Khalti and cash on delivery, same-day delivery within the valley, export storefronts priced in dollars and euros, and product content that explains materials, origin and craftsmanship clearly for overseas buyers.
What Kathmandu brands need from their store
Thamel and the visitor trade
Trekkers and tourists buy pashmina, felt and crafts, then want to reorder from home. We add international shipping, multi-currency pricing and QR codes in shop that lead visitors straight to your online store.
Patan’s metal and wood crafts
Statues, singing bowls and carved pieces are heavy, fragile and valuable. We set up weight-based shipping, insurance, packaging notes and detailed photos, so international buyers understand exactly what they are purchasing.
Valley delivery for local shoppers
Customers inside the valley expect fast delivery and familiar wallets. We create delivery zones covering Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, with cash on delivery and eSewa or Khalti, and separate rates for the rest of Nepal.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Kathmandu?
No. Our team works remotely from India. Because we are only 15 minutes apart, we work the same hours as you, with video calls, a shared project board and a staging store where you review every change.
Can we offer same-day delivery inside the valley?
Yes. We set up local delivery zones and rates for Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, connect your courier and show cut-off times for same-day dispatch. Orders from other parts of Nepal switch automatically to longer delivery options.
Can visitors who bought in our shop reorder online?
Yes. We set up international shipping and pricing in their currency, then add QR codes and email sign-ups in your Thamel or Patan shop, so visitors can find the same products online and reorder after they return home.
