Nepal, March 31, 2020

A few years ago, online shopping was not as popular as it is now today. And, the reason mostly was unreliable quality and the lack of online payment gateways. The growth of technology has made it possible for the rapid progress of online shopping sites in Nepal. People use their laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. to shop these days without having to go to the market themselves.

Sounds convenient, right?

Indeed, it is.

In fact, 5 years old study shows that almost 35% of the overall e-commerce traffic in Nepal is solely from Mobile.

Besides, people can simply pay online using several digital payment platforms.

These online shopping sites have the potential to turn some extent of our money cashless, or digital.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Although there are a few things that make an E-commerce platform appealing to the users, it is said that “a good web design generates good sales in eCommerce.” Of course, other factors come to play when it comes to the popularity of these sites.
