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.
- 01
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.
- 02
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.
- 03
Apps add up fast
Many essentials are paid apps on top of the plan. The advertised price is rarely the real monthly cost.
- 04
Support doesn't know your market
Explaining EasyPaisa, courier COD remittance, or 'parcel refused at door' to global support is a losing game.

Questions, answered.
What Pakistani sellers ask most before moving from Shopify to Eekaam.
Why look for a Shopify alternative in Pakistan?
Mostly billing and workflows: Shopify charges in USD and treats COD and manual payments as secondary. A local platform bills in PKR and builds around cash on delivery, bank transfer, EasyPaisa, and JazzCash flows.
How much does Eekaam cost compared to Shopify?
Eekaam starts free with PKR plans from around Rs 1,960 per month, hosting and SSL included, and no per-order platform fee. Shopify's plans bill in USD — check shopify.com for their current pricing.
Can I migrate my Shopify store to Eekaam?
Yes. CSV import brings your products across, and our team offers hands-on migration help with themes, domains, and redirects.
Does Eekaam support cash on delivery properly?
Yes — COD is a first-class workflow, alongside manual payment instructions for bank transfer, EasyPaisa, and JazzCash with confirm-before-dispatch.
Can I use my own domain on Eekaam?
Yes. Connect your existing domain with free SSL on the Basic plan and above — the same domain you used with Shopify can point to your Eekaam store.
Are there real stores I can look at?
Yes — the demo stores on this page (Veloura, Computer Zone, Malik Fragnance, Fitness Depot) are live Eekaam stores you can open and browse right now.
See your store before you configure everything.
