Used by growing Nepali brands
What you get
The parts that matter most, all in the same system as your orders, stock and payments.
Build cost
What you pay before the store takes its first order.
Hosting and domain
Servers, SSL and a .com.np or .com, every year.
Payment integration
A gateway integration often carries its own one-off fee.
Courier integration
Usually custom work, or manual copying if nobody builds it.
Changes and fixes
Every new banner, page or bug fix, after launch.
Your time
Chasing a developer is a cost too.
The real cost is after launch
A store is never finished. Products, banners, offers, payment methods and couriers change every season, and each change on a custom build is a request to a developer. That is why a cheap build often becomes an expensive store.
A platform spreads that cost into one yearly price. Blanxer plans start at Rs 24,000 a year and include hosting, checkout, Fonepay QR, courier integrations, SMS credits, updates and support.

Questions people ask
How much does it cost to build a website in Nepal?
An ecommerce website built by an agency is usually quoted Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,50,000 or more, before hosting, payment integration and later changes. A simple brochure website costs less, but cannot take orders.
How much does an ecommerce website cost per year?
Hosting, domain, SSL and maintenance recur every year on a custom build. On Blanxer the yearly plan, from Rs 24,000, covers all of it along with payments and courier integrations.
Is it cheaper to use a platform than to build a website?
Usually, once you count the years after launch. A platform includes updates, payment and courier integrations and support that a custom build charges for separately.
Can I start small and upgrade later?
Yes. Start on Basic and move up as orders and products grow; your store, products and customers come with you.
