In Nepal, thousands of people are searching for products and services online every day — from clothes and cosmetics to local food and furniture. If you run a small business, now is the right time to start selling online.

This blog will guide you through the basics of starting online sales, even if you have never done it before. No need for technical knowledge or a big team — just follow these steps and use Thulo to make the journey easier.

Why Start Selling Online?

Here are 4 big reasons:

1. Reach More Customers – Not just in your city, but across Nepal and even abroad.
   
   

2. Sell Anytime – Your store is open 24/7, even during bandas, bad weather, or shop closures.
   
   

3. Less Cost, More Growth – You don’t need to open new branches to expand.
   
   

4. Future-Proof Your Business – Customers are already online. Your competitors are going online. Don't be left behind.
   
   

Step-by-Step Guide to Start Selling Online

Step 1: Decide What to Sell

You can sell:

• Physical products (clothes, food, electronics, handmade items)
  
  

• Digital products (courses, designs, PDFs)
  
  

• Services (consulting, beauty services, repairs)
  
  

Start small — choose your best-selling or most popular item.

Step 2: Take Good Photos & Write Details

• Use your mobile phone for clear photos.
  
  

• Add price, size, features, and delivery details.
  
  

• Keep the language simple. Add both English and Nepali if possible.
  
  

Step 3: Create Your Online Store (No Coding Needed)

With Thulo, you can create a website with:

• Your brand name and logo
  
  

• All your product details
  
  

• Order and payment system
  
  

• Delivery options
  
  

It’s like opening a new shop online — without rent or big expenses.

Step 4: Set Up Payments & Delivery

Accept payments via:

• eSewa, Khalti,Fonepay, ConnectIPS, bank deposit, or cash on delivery
  
  

Deliver through:

• Your own team
  
  

• Local courier services
  
  

• Or start with pick-up options
  
  

Thulo helps you manage everything in one place.

Step 5: Share Your Website Link

Once your website is live:

• Share the link on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok
  
  

• Send to past customers on Viber or WhatsApp
  
  

• Tell family, friends, and loyal customers
  
  

The more people visit, the better chance of sales.

Real Example: From Local Shop to Online Orders

Sita runs a small handicraft shop in Bhaktapur. She started with just 5 products on her Thulo website. After sharing the link on her Facebook page, she started getting orders from Pokhara and Butwal. Today, 30% of her monthly sales come from online customers.

“I thought online selling was only for big companies. But I now realize that even small shops like mine can grow online.”

Bonus Tip: Don’t Wait for Perfection

Many businesses wait too long — to get perfect photos, perfect prices, or a perfect website. Don’t wait. Start simple, and improve over time.
