- COD & manual payments
- Local support
- Free migration help
The honest picture
Shopify is powerful — and not always practical for Pakistan.
Shopify is a world-class platform. The friction starts when a Pakistani seller meets its defaults.
USD billing stress
Your subscription and app charges bill in dollars — on a card that supports international payments, at whatever the rate is that month.
COD is an afterthought
Pakistan runs on cash on delivery and manual transfers. Global platforms treat both as edge cases to configure, not the main flow.
Apps add up fast
Many essentials are paid apps on top of the plan. The advertised price is rarely the real monthly cost.
Support doesn't know your market
Explaining EasyPaisa, courier COD remittance, or 'parcel refused at door' to global support is a losing game.
How Eekaam helps
Local workflows, built in from day one.
PKR pricing, PKR selling
Plans billed in rupees, products priced in rupees. No conversion math, no international card required.
COD and manual payment workflows
Cash on delivery plus bank transfer, EasyPaisa, or JazzCash instructions at checkout — confirm before dispatch.
Full store toolkit
Catalog, variants, collections, discounts, blogs, and a theme editor — the essentials included, not sold as apps.
Order management for local fulfilment
A dashboard built around how Pakistani sellers pack, book couriers, and reconcile COD.
Support that speaks your market
Email and WhatsApp support from people who know Pakistani ecommerce, typically replying within 30 minutes.
Migration help included
CSV import for products plus hands-on help moving from Shopify — we've done it before.

This comparison is written by Eekaam. We keep it fair — Shopify is an excellent global platform. Verify current pricing and features on each platform before deciding.
Honest answers
Fair questions before you switch.
Isn't Shopify more mature than Eekaam?
Globally, yes — Shopify has a huge ecosystem. Eekaam's bet is different: build the local workflows deeply instead of everything broadly. If your business is Pakistani buyers, PKR, and COD, the local depth matters more.
What if I sell internationally too?
If most of your revenue is international, Shopify's global tooling may serve you better. If Pakistan is your main market with some overseas orders, Eekaam handles that comfortably.
How hard is migrating from Shopify?
Straightforward. Export your products to CSV, import them into Eekaam, and our team helps with themes, domains, and redirects. Most migrations finish within days.
