E-commerce development
Online stores built for how Pakistan actually buys.
We build storefronts, checkout and payment integrations, covering mobile wallets, cards, cash on delivery and courier booking, for brands selling in Pakistan, and international checkout for those selling abroad.
- Starting point
- From US$1,200 for a store with up to 100 products
- Typical timeline
- 4 to 8 weeks
- Platforms
- Shopify or a custom Next.js store
- Payments
- Mobile wallets, cards and cash on delivery
01The problem
Why teams come to us.
Selling online in Pakistan is different. Cash on delivery still dominates, fake orders cost real courier fees, and mobile wallets matter more than cards. A store designed around Western checkout habits leaks money here, one returned parcel at a time.
We build stores around those realities: order verification before dispatch, courier booking and tracking, wallet payments, and pages that load quickly on the phones your customers carry. For brands selling abroad, we set up card checkout, multi-currency pricing and shipping rules.
02What we build
What you get.
Storefronts
Shopify themes or custom Next.js stores, fast on mobile and structured so your products can be found in search.
Checkout and payments
Mobile wallets, cards and cash on delivery through supported payment gateways, with a checkout that asks only for what it needs.
Order verification
Confirmation by message or call before dispatch, and rules that flag risky orders, to cut fake cash-on-delivery orders.
Courier integration
Booking, tracking and cash-on-delivery reconciliation with courier partners that offer an API.
Catalogue and inventory
Products, variants, stock and bulk updates that your team can manage without a developer.
Analytics and product SEO
Conversion tracking from first visit to delivered order, and category and product pages built to rank.
03Proof
Payments we already run
Our own products take payments every day: mobile wallets and bank transfers for Guftagu, confirmed and reconciled by our team, and international card checkout through a Merchant of Record for SpikeGuru. We bring that experience, and its hard lessons, to your checkout.

07Questions
E-commerce, answered.
Shopify or a custom store?
Shopify suits most new stores: it is quick to launch and easy to run. A custom Next.js store makes sense when you need unusual checkout logic, deep integrations with your own systems, or complete control over speed and design.
Can customers pay with JazzCash or EasyPaisa?
Yes. We connect mobile wallets through a supported payment gateway, alongside cards and cash on delivery, and test every method with real transactions before launch.
How do you reduce fake cash-on-delivery orders?
With order verification before dispatch, such as a confirmation message or call, plus rules that flag risky orders by address, history or value. Fewer fake orders means fewer wasted courier fees.
Can you connect my store to a courier?
Yes, where the courier offers an API. We automate booking and tracking, and set up cash-on-delivery reconciliation so you can see what has been collected and paid out.
Can you build a store that sells abroad?
Yes. We set up card checkout, multi-currency pricing and shipping rules for physical goods, or a Merchant of Record checkout for digital products, which handles international tax for you.
How long does a store take?
A focused store with up to 100 products typically takes four to eight weeks, including payment and courier testing with real orders.
