How to integrate payment gateway in Nepal?
A practical answer on payment gateway, written from projects I have actually shipped rather than from a spec sheet.

Payment gateways in Nepal like eSewa and Khalti provide REST APIs or SDKs that developers integrate into the backend to process transactions securely.
In More Detail
Every gateway follows the same shape even where the details differ. Your server creates an order and a signed request, the user is handed to the provider to authorise the payment, the provider sends them back with a result, and — the step that matters — your server independently asks the provider whether that payment really succeeded before anything is marked as paid. The redirect is a convenience; the server-to-server verification is the truth.
Two failure modes cause almost all of the real-world problems. Trusting the browser's success redirect means anyone who can edit a URL can mark an order paid. And without an idempotency key, a user refreshing the confirmation page or a provider retrying its callback creates duplicate records. Both are cheap to prevent in the design and expensive to untangle once there is money and a customer involved.
What This Means For Your Project
Budget extra QA time for these integrations specifically — sandbox/test-mode behavior for Nepali payment gateways doesn't always match production behavior exactly, so thorough testing before launch matters.
If this came up while you were scoping a project: the services page lists what I build, pricing publishes real starting figures, how I work covers cadence and timezone overlap, and the case studies show the stack and timeline on eight real projects. Unfamiliar term? Try the glossary.
