What other merchants ask first

Getting Started

How do I create a store?

Sign up at vinoraam.com/register (no card), then launch the AI Store Generator from your dashboard. Answer 5 questions about your business and the AI builds your entire storefront — colors, fonts, layout, copy — in under 90 seconds.

Payments

Which payment gateways do you support?

Khalti, eSewa, FonePay QR, and Cash on Delivery — built into every Vinoraam store. India: Razorpay (UPI + cards). Rest of world: Stripe (cards). WhatsApp ordering also works as a conversational checkout.

Payments

How do I get a Khalti merchant account?

Apply at khalti.com/merchant. You'll need a PAN, company registration, and a recent bank statement. Approval typically takes 3–5 working days. Once approved, paste your Public + Secret keys into Settings → Payments → Khalti.

AI Features

What is AI Photo Studio?

Upload a phone photo of any product — including the messy cluttered-table kind — and get back a studio-quality version with clean background, balanced lighting, and sharp focus. Premium plan only. Pays for the plan in week one if you shoot a few products.

Domains & branding

Can I use my own domain?

Yes — on Basic and Premium. Add your domain in Settings → Domain. You'll get DNS records to point your registrar at our servers. Most domains resolve in under an hour. Free SSL included.

Account & billing

Do I get a free trial of paid plans?

Every new account starts on a 14-day Premium trial with the full AI suite unlocked. No credit card. When the trial ends, your store auto-drops to Free (nothing is deleted) and you can upgrade anytime.

Sign up at vinoraam.com/register (no card), then launch the AI Store Generator from your dashboard. Answer 5 questions about your business and the AI builds your entire storefront — colors, fonts, layout, copy — in under 90 seconds.
Most merchants are live in under 5 minutes. The AI generator handles theme selection, hero text, about section, and product page templates. You can refine anything later in the Customizer.
Yes. Open the Customizer from your dashboard to adjust colors, fonts, text, and layout sections in real time. Changes preview instantly across the desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports.
An email address. A brief description of what you sell helps the AI generate a more accurate store, but you can always refine things later. No business documents or merchant accounts required to start.
Go to Products in your dashboard → Add Product. Fill in the name, price, and images. On Basic and Premium, the AI can auto-generate polished product descriptions in one click.

Payments

Khalti, eSewa, FonePay QR, and Cash on Delivery — built into every Vinoraam store. India: Razorpay (UPI + cards). Rest of world: Stripe (cards). WhatsApp ordering also works as a conversational checkout.
Apply at khalti.com/merchant. You'll need a PAN, company registration, and a recent bank statement. Approval typically takes 3–5 working days. Once approved, paste your Public + Secret keys into Settings → Payments → Khalti.
eSewa: apply at my.esewa.com.np/business (1–7 days). FonePay: fonepay.com/business (~48 hours — fastest of the three). Both give you credentials you paste into Settings → Payments. We've published a full step-by-step guide on the blog — search 'Khalti eSewa FonePay setup'.
Yes. Settings → Payments → COD lets you set a per-order handling fee (most stores set NPR 50–100 to cover cash collection cost). It shows on the order summary at checkout so customers know upfront.
Payouts are processed after the gateway settlement period — typically 2–3 business days for Khalti / eSewa / FonePay. Track pending and completed payouts in the Payments section of your dashboard.
Platform commission: Free 3% / Basic 2% / Premium 1%. Gateway fees (Khalti / eSewa / FonePay charge ~1.5–2.5%) are separate and deducted by the gateway, not Vinoraam.
Vinoraam supports tax-inclusive pricing (show prices with tax already added) or tax-exclusive (add at checkout). Set this up under Settings → Tax. We auto-collect and report based on shipping address — VAT for NP, GST slabs for IN.

AI Features

5 articles
A full store configuration: color palette, font pairing, hero section text, about copy, product page templates, footer content, and suggested product ideas tailored to your niche. All editable afterward.
Yes. From the preview screen you can regenerate individual sections (hero, about, color scheme) without touching the rest. Iterate until every detail feels right.
Yes, on Basic and Premium. Provide a product name and a few keywords and the AI writes a polished, conversion-focused description. Useful for migrating catalogs from Instagram captions into structured copy.
Upload a phone photo of any product — including the messy cluttered-table kind — and get back a studio-quality version with clean background, balanced lighting, and sharp focus. Premium plan only. Pays for the plan in week one if you shoot a few products.
5 questions: what you sell, your brand vibe (luxury / casual / fun / professional), your target customer, your store name, your unique selling point. These guide every design and copy decision the AI makes.

Domains & branding

4 articles
Yes — on Basic and Premium. Add your domain in Settings → Domain. You'll get DNS records to point your registrar at our servers. Most domains resolve in under an hour. Free SSL included.
Yes. Configure A and CNAME records the same way as any other domain. .com.np renewals happen with your registrar (Mercantile, etc.) — we don't sell domains, just connect them.
Upgrade to Basic (NPR 600/mo) or Premium (NPR 2,000/mo). The watermark hides immediately on the next page load. Free stores keep the watermark — it's how we offer the free tier.
Customizer → Brand → Logo. Upload PNG (transparent background recommended) or SVG. We auto-generate favicon, social-share image (OG), and dark-mode variant.

Account & billing

6 articles
Yes. Free tier includes catalog, cart, checkout, WhatsApp ordering, all 4 payment methods, and basic analytics — at no cost. Free has a 5-product cap and 3% commission. Paid plans unlock more.
Every new account starts on a 14-day Premium trial with the full AI suite unlocked. No credit card. When the trial ends, your store auto-drops to Free (nothing is deleted) and you can upgrade anytime.
Dashboard → Billing, or visit /upgrade from the main nav. Select your plan, complete payment via the WhatsApp invoice we send you, and features activate within 30 minutes.
Yes, anytime from Billing. Your paid features remain active until the end of the current billing period, then revert to Free with no data loss.
7-day money-back guarantee on the first month of any paid plan. Email us or WhatsApp the founder within 7 days for a full refund.
Contact support and request account deletion. We remove all data within 48 hours. Download any order or product data you want to keep before requesting deletion.

Migration

3 articles
Yes. Send us your product CSV export (Shopify Admin → Products → Export) on WhatsApp and we migrate products, customers, and order history for free during the first 100 paid stores. Custom domain transfer is also free.
You don't need to leave Instagram. Add 'Shop directly: yourstore.vinoraam.com' to your bio. Customers who used to DM you can now complete orders themselves on the storefront. Most merchants see 60% DM drop and a 3× repeat-order increase in 6 weeks (see Sarita Sarees case study on the blog).
Yes — CSV import is in Products → Import. Required columns: name, price, description. Optional: images (URLs or relative paths), SKU, inventory. We provide a template CSV on the import screen.
