Start Accepting Payments in Nepal: Use Khalti Payment Gateway for Merchants

Nepal’s e-commerce space has changed a lot in the past few years. More people shop online, more businesses moved digital, and the question of how to actually collect money and epayment stopped being an afterthought. Khalti payment gateway was built specifically for this market as a trusted API provider. It connects merchants with buyers across every secure and efficient payment method Nepali customers actually use, and getting it running on your platform doesn’t require weeks of back-and-forth with a vendor.

Once you’ve completed registration and submitted your KYC documents, you can enable testing the same day. The merchant dashboard hands you your keys right away, the development kits are open-source, and if anything’s unclear, the merchant team is reachable by phone and email. Contact them, and someone will help you move forward.

Secure E-Payment Gateway for Your Business Solutions

Pick the wrong partner, and you’ll feel it. Downtime during peak hours, limited payment options that push customers away, security gaps that damage trust - these aren’t theoretical problems. Khalti has ISO 27001:2013 certification, which is an internationally recognised security standard that most local gateways don’t hold.

Covering all the ways Nepali customers actually pay is just as important as security. Think about it. One user might prefer internet banking, their colleague uses mobile banking, and the next person only has their SCT card handy. If any of those online payment options are missing at checkout, you’re basically saying goodbye to that sale. Here’s what Khalti supports out of the box, so you’re not turning away customers over a missing payment method:

All five types of online services in Nepal sit behind a single integration - you don’t build separate flows for each method, and customers aren’t redirected to different sites depending on how they want to pay. Fewer friction points at checkout mean more completed payments, and that’s what having multiple payment options in one place achieves.

Secure Epayment Transactions with KPG

When people pay on your site, they’re trusting you with their money. Khalti’s technology gets that. Their system locks everything down. The neat part: sensitive financials never hit your server, and it trades them out for tokens. Your code never manages the scary things. And whether you’re processing 10 payments a day or 10,000, this protection remains exactly the same. Load doesn’t matter.

Comprehensive Business Solutions

Money lands in your account, which feels good, but then you have to deal with fees to calculate and records to keep. Someone wants their money back. Month-end approaches, and finance is beating down your desk for a report. This is where Khalti ceases to be just another payment tool and begins saving your team real hours. All that boring stuff is automated. Your team doesn’t have to spend the afternoon churning out numbers on spreadsheets they learn from.

We put everything where you can see it, in your merchant dashboard. Every payment appears the moment it goes through - amount, method, exact time. Need to show finance? One click, and it’s on Excel. You can even make it so that different people see different things. Junior staff see only what they need; managers see everything. Gone are the days of sharing one login around the office like some kind of mystery cult. It’s just more professional and cleaner.

Simple Steps to Integrate Khalti Payment Gateway

Most people think setting up payments means weeks on the phone with Khalti. They built the whole thing so you can do it yourself. The code’s on GitHub for everyone to look at. The docs actually make sense - not some technical mess. And if you’re ever connected with an integration interface, it’s like you can have a test checkout up and running within a few hours. No waiting around.

Here’s how it actually works:

That’s literally it, only five steps. And you actually need to have a human being for the contact - everything else you can do on your own. Many developers have their integration completed in an afternoon and are earning real money by Friday, for example.

Installation and Initial Configuration

The integration process is pretty simple. You can find libraries on GitHub for JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby - basically anything. Just install it like usual with your package manager. To set it up, you just need your public and secret keys, and the return URL where Khalti redirects customers after they pay. Store them as environment variables instead of putting them directly in your files. That way, switching from testing to real things is quick and easy; you won’t have to search through your code to find them.

How to Generate API Key

So once you’re logged into your merchant account, just head over to the keys area. Your test credentials will be waiting for you. You can get started with coding right away. Once you’ve tested and signed off, your new live keys will show up where the old ones were. Just swap them out. Make sure you keep your secret details safe on your server. If someone gets their hands on it, they could mess things up.

Integrate Khalti into Your Platform

So, the steps will vary depending on the platform. If you use WooCommerce, OpenCart, or Magento, install their plugin and put in your details. If you’re creating custom things, leverage their REST interface or device SDK. See docs.khalti.com for a complete user guide and integration interface reference documentation with code examples. 

Web Checkout and Mobile SDK

Khalti has a simple hosted checkout page for websites. Just bind your key and call a function. Payment stuff is managed by Khalti, and you are referred back. And if you have a web application, they also have real Android and iOS SDKs. They all include samples and setup guides.

Joining Khalti's merchant network lets businesses tap into a hugely popular digital payment system. People already know and trust Khalti, so they’re more apt to buy stuff without second thoughts.
