Browsing Products and Submitting a Cart Inquiry
Review product name, description, brand, specifications, compatibility, images, seller information, price, quantity, taxes, delivery charges, estimated delivery time, warranty, and return or cancellation conditions. If important information is unclear, ask Go Dokan before proceeding.
Submit a Cart Inquiry
- Sign in when required and add the products and quantities you want to your cart.
- Review the cart and provide a complete delivery address and active contact number.
- Submit the cart as a Cart Inquiry.
- Wait while Go Dokan and the vendor check stock, variant, quantity, current price, and delivery possibility.
- Review the confirmed items, final amount, and any proposed changes.
- Accept the details and proceed to payment only after availability is confirmed.
Go Dokan uses an Inquiry-Based Checkout System: a Cart Inquiry is a request, not a completed purchase or payment authorization. If items are partly or fully unavailable, you may remove them, select an alternative, or continue with the available items. Do not pay for unconfirmed items.
What to check before paying
- Product details match your requirement.
- Price, quantity, and taxes are correct.
- Delivery location and charges are accurate.
- Product is available in the required quantity.
- Warranty or return conditions are acceptable.
- Seller and delivery details are correct.
Orders and Tracking
Check the inquiry or order status in your Go Dokan account and keep its reference number. Typical progress may include:
- Cart Inquiry Submitted
- Under Availability Review
- Awaiting Buyer Confirmation
- Payment Pending
- Payment Received
- Order Confirmed
- Processing
- Shipped / Out for Delivery
- Delivered
Use Track Inquiry / Track Order wherever tracking is offered. An inquiry can be tracked before it becomes a confirmed order. Review the vendor's availability response and final details; payment and fulfilment follow confirmation.
Delivery timing
- Standard delivery within Kathmandu is generally free and expected within up to 48 hours after order confirmation.
- Delivery outside Kathmandu is generally estimated at 2 to 7 business days after confirmation.
- Remote routes, weather, holidays, road conditions, vendor preparation, and logistics conditions can affect the estimate.
- The estimate shown for your specific order should be used when it differs from the general estimate.
Orders may generally be cancelled before dispatch, subject to the applicable terms. If the order has shipped, arrived, or the cancellation option is unavailable, contact support about the applicable return or refund process.
Payments and Refunds
Pay only after Go Dokan and the vendor have confirmed product availability and the final order details, and you have accepted the confirmed items and total. Check taxes, delivery charges, and the payment amount, then use a payment method offered through Go Dokan. Do not send money to an undisclosed account or share OTPs, PINs, banking credentials, or full payment credentials.
If a payment has a problem
If payment is pending, deducted but shown as failed, duplicated, or successful without an order confirmation, do not immediately pay again. Keep the transaction reference, amount, date, payment method, and Inquiry ID or Order ID, then contact support so the transaction can be checked.
Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on the reason, order and return status, payment method, applicable policy, and any required product or vendor verification. Once approved, processing time can vary by bank, wallet, or payment provider. Keep the payment confirmation until the issue is resolved.
Delivery and Returns
Check that your delivery address, active phone number, and recipient details are correct before submitting a Cart Inquiry. Delivery is arranged after the order is confirmed and the required payment or approved credit status is recorded.
Keep your phone available during the delivery window. Couriers are not authorized to collect the product price in cash unless your order explicitly says otherwise. Do not share payment OTPs or PINs with a courier. Before accepting a package, check the package count and visible damage or tampering where practical.
Report a delivery or product issue
For a delay or failed delivery attempt, check tracking and confirm the address and recipient can be reached. For a wrong, damaged, or missing product, keep the package and contents, take clear photos, and note the Order ID, product, quantity, and tracking reference. Contact support promptly with a concise description and relevant evidence.
Eligible return requests are generally subject to a standard return period, product-category conditions, and applicable law. Keep the product unused and preserve packaging, accessories, and invoices where possible while awaiting instructions. A refund or replacement is not automatic; the product and claim may need review.
Support and Safety
Contact Go Dokan support about an account, Cart Inquiry, order, payment, delivery, return, refund, warranty, or product issue. Include your name or account contact, Inquiry ID or Order ID, product and vendor names where relevant, payment reference when applicable, a clear description, and screenshots or documents that help explain the issue. Share only information needed to resolve the request.
A support request may move through statuses such as:
- New
- In Review
- Assigned
- Waiting for Buyer
- Waiting for Vendor
- Waiting for Payment
- Resolved
- Closed
- Reopened
Keep your ticket or complaint reference, follow the latest update, and provide requested details through the official support channel. For order issues, include relevant photos, tracking information, and payment references; for a payment issue, do not include full card or account credentials.
Never share your password, OTP, verification code, payment PIN, or full payment credentials, even with someone claiming to be Go Dokan support or a delivery partner. Use the official Go Dokan platform for account actions, order updates, and payments.
