What this page checks
We continuously check eSewa's live payment endpoint, the part of eSewa that online checkouts use to take a payment. Specifically, we monitor eSewa's payment endpoint (epay.esewa.com.np), the same check that powers status.paybridgenp.com. A green badge means that system is responding normally, which is a strong signal that you can pay with eSewa right now. A red badge means it is not responding, so payments may fail until it recovers. Brief, transaction-level issues can still happen even when the badge is green, so treat this as a fast health check rather than a guarantee.
What to do if eSewa is not working
- Wait a few minutes and retry. Provider outages are usually short and resolve on their own.
- Try another method. Khalti and Fonepay usually keep working when eSewa is having problems.
- Check eSewa's official channels. Their app, website, or social pages will confirm a wider outage.
- Do not pay twice. If a payment looks stuck, check whether it went through before trying again.

Is eSewa down right now?
This page checks eSewa's payment endpoint live. If the badge above is green, eSewa payments are working; if it is red, eSewa's payment system is not responding normally and payments may fail. The check runs every few minutes.
Why is eSewa not working?
The usual causes are a temporary outage or maintenance on eSewa's side, a spike in traffic, or a network problem between you and eSewa. These are almost always on the provider's side and resolve on their own. Waiting a few minutes and retrying is the first thing to try.
What can I use instead of eSewa?
If you are a shopper, Khalti or Fonepay usually keep working when eSewa is having problems. If you are a business, accepting more than one method means a single provider outage does not stop all your sales.
How do you know if eSewa is down?
We continuously monitor eSewa's live payment endpoint from PayBridgeNP's uptime monitoring, the same checks that power our status page. It reflects whether eSewa's payment system is responding, which is what matters for taking a payment.
Never lose a sale to an outage
One integration gives you eSewa, Khalti, and Fonepay, so buyers can always pay another way. Money settles to your own accounts.
