Thousands of Pakistani sellers run their business from Instagram DMs and WhatsApp chats. It works — until you spend your whole day asking every customer for their size, address and payment method, one message at a time. An online store fixes that: customers browse your catalog, fill the order form themselves, and you receive a complete, ready-to-ship order. This guide covers every way to get one in Pakistan, what each really costs, and how to launch yours this week.
There are four realistic paths for a Pakistani seller: build a custom website (Rs. 50,000+ one-time, plus a developer on call forever), use an international builder like Shopify or Wix (dollar-based subscriptions plus transaction fees), sell only on marketplaces like Daraz (commission on every sale, and the customer belongs to the marketplace, not you), or use a Pakistani store platform built around how selling actually works here — COD, WhatsApp, and rupee pricing.
Whatever you choose, make sure it handles the local realities. Most Pakistani buyers still prefer Cash on Delivery, so COD must be a first-class option, not a plugin. Orders should reach you on WhatsApp — that's where you already live. And pricing should be in rupees: a $29 subscription quietly becomes a different bill every month as the exchange rate moves.
With a ready-made platform the whole setup takes an evening, not a month:
On Storvello the entry price is zero: the Free plan (10 products, 20 orders a month) costs nothing, forever. When your volume grows, the Starter plan is Rs. 2,499/month — flat, in rupees, with unlimited orders and no commission on anything you sell. Your first month of full features is free, so you can test everything with real customers before paying a rupee.
Do I need a computer or coding skills?
No. Everything — adding products, managing orders, changing your store's look — works from your phone. There is nothing to install and no code anywhere.
How long does setup take?
The store itself exists in about 2 minutes. Adding your first 10 products with photos usually takes under an hour.
Can customers pay cash on delivery?
Yes — COD is the default checkout option, alongside bank transfer and wallets like JazzCash and Easypaisa arranged directly with you.
