Getting Started with BrandForge: Launch Your Store in 5 Minutes

Starting an online business in Nepal used to mean spending months and lakhs of rupees hiring developers and designers. BrandForge changes that. With our drag-and-drop builder, you can have a fully functional, beautiful online store live in under 5 minutes.

2Step 1 – Create Your Account

Head to brandforge.store and sign up for free. No credit card required. Your account gives you access to our full builder with 60+ elements, product management, analytics, and more.

4Step 2 – Name Your Site

After signing in, click New Site from your dashboard. Give your store a name — this becomes your unique URL (e.g., yourstore.brandforge.store). You can connect a custom domain later.

6Step 3 – Build Your Homepage

This is where the magic happens. Our Elementor-style builder lets you drag widgets from the left panel directly onto your canvas, click any element to edit its content, colors and styles, and switch device views (desktop / tablet / mobile) to ensure it looks perfect everywhere.

Pro tip: Start with a Hero Section widget. It immediately communicates who you are and what you sell. Add a strong headline, a short tagline, and a clear "Shop Now" button.

9Step 4 – Add Your Products

Go to Products in your dashboard and click Add Product. Upload high-quality images, set SKU, stock quantity and variants (size, color), and enable AI Virtual Try-On if you sell clothing or accessories. Your products automatically appear in Product Grid and Product Slider widgets.

11Step 5 – Configure Payments

BrandForge supports Khalti and eSewa natively. Go to Settings → Payments, enter your merchant keys, and you are ready to receive payments.

13Step 6 – Publish

Hit the Publish button in the top bar. Your store is now live. Share the link on Instagram and start selling.

Tips for a great first store: use high-quality product photos — they make the biggest difference in conversion. Write clear, benefit-focused product descriptions. Set up your mobile view since over 80% of Nepali shoppers browse on mobile. Add an Announcement Bar for promotions like "Free shipping over Rs. 1500".
