I hope everyone is doing well. Today, we will discuss how you can easily start your Shopify business in Pakistan. We will cover the requirements and skills you need to learn, and we will share everything we have learned from our three years of experience with complete honesty. In simple words, any business that we conduct over the Internet is called e-commerce. Shopify is like an app that excellently manages your business. Simply put, it showcases any of your products to millions of customers very appealingly. Let’s study below in very simple terms how we can use Shopify and generate an excellent income from home.
“Design a Beautiful Shopify Store”
Firstly, we need to design a good store. We don’t necessarily need to get hosting from another place. Shopify also provides us the convenience to display our products effectively so that our customers can easily purchase them. Initially, with Shopify, you need to purchase their monthly plan first. Shopify offers various monthly plans. You can start with the Basic Shopify monthly plan, which costs $25. The first month is free, and you only need to pay $1 as a fee. After that, there’s a monthly payment of $25. After purchasing the Shopify plan, you need to select a theme for free and then list your products there. Remember, your product images should be of good quality so that your website looks attractive and customers are inclined to buy your products. Below, I have attached a video that will help you easily create your website from home.

“Master Facebook Ads”
Let’s move forward now that you’ve designed your shopify store. Now, above the product you’ve placed on your store, you need to attract customers yourself. To bring customers, we choose different social media platforms. The easiest and most effective is advertising on Facebook to make your Shopify store successful. On Facebook, by creating a good video of our product and running it as an ad, we can reach millions of customers. Ads require you to spend some money. Now, how can you bring as many people as possible to your website with the least amount of money? For this purpose, we have chosen a very good Facebook ad course for you for free below. I am providing the video. By watching it, you will learn a very high quality skill in the form of a Facebook ad that will not only make your business successful but also, InshaAllah, you can generate a good income by providing its services. To learn complete Facebook ads, watch the video below. The video is a little big, but it is so wonderful that it can give you an easy job.
“Master TikTok Ads”
“Another way to reach millions of people with your website is through TikTok ads. By placing ads there, you can also make your shop successful. TikTok accounts cannot be created from Pakistan, so you have to buy an account from outside and then you can advertise your product on it. But initially, I would advise you to advertise on Facebook because Facebook brings you good customers who not only buy your product but also do not return it when the rider takes it to their house. Orders are often cancelled on TikTok, so we advise you to start advertising your business on Facebook. However, this does not deny the importance of TikTok ads. For those who want to make their business successful by placing ads on TikTok, I have also attached a video below. By watching this video, you will learn how to place ads on TikTok as well.”
“Best Pakistani Couriers for E-Commerce on Shopify”
“In this section, I will tell you which courier service to use for your business. Use a courier service that not only delivers your parcels efficiently but also sends your payments on time.
Below, I have mentioned some courier names that provide cash on delivery services in Pakistan.”
1- Call Courier 2-Post X
3- Leopard Courier
4- TCS
5- M&P Logistics
6- Buddy Box
7- Fly Courier 8-Swyft Courier
9-Courier Next
10-Daewoo Fastex
“Delivery Ratio Stats of Various Couriers”
In this section, we will study and discuss which of the mentioned couriers is the best. We have been working with these couriers for almost three years, and based on my experience, I will suggest a few couriers and explain the percentage of parcels each one delivers. This way, you will be able to select a suitable courier for your business.
‘’Call Courier’’ Monthly 80% TO 85% Delivery Ratio.
“Leopard Courier” Monthly 82% TO 85% Delivery Ratio.
“M&P Logistics” Delivery Ratio Almost up to 83%.
Other Couriers are also the best . It all depends on how much your customer service is strong.
Note: If your customer service is not good, meaning you do not track orders on time or call to confirm orders when they come into your Shopify store, then these couriers will also only deliver about 50 to 60% of your orders.
“Top Payment Cards for Facebook, TikTok and Shopify”
In this business, it is also necessary for you to have a bank account. This account is provided to the courier, and after the courier delivers your parcels, the payment is sent to your given account. You should open an account with Meezan Bank.
However, with Facebook Ads and Shopify, you also need to link your account. For this, I would advise you to use a virtual card. The most suitable and excellent card for this is SadaPay. Its fee is also lower compared to other cards, and it offers the convenience of opening an account from home, allowing you to transfer money from any bank. Not only locally, but you can also make international payments easily with this card. I hope this card will prove to be suitable for your online business. There are other bank cards available as well, but since I have personally used this one, I am recommending it to you.
“The Reality of Shopify Business in Pakistan”
Now let’s shed light on the reality of this business. For some time, people have considered it a golden opportunity. However, this business is just like any other business, where along with profits, there is also a significant risk of loss. Some people succeed in this business, but many are unable to sustain it for a long time and eventually abandon it due to losses. To run this business, you need at least six months. When it comes to investment, you should have at least one lakh rupees. You don’t become rich overnight in this; instead, you have to work continuously with dedication and effort, and only then can you make this business profitable. Therefore, start, work hard, and work with complete honesty, and you will surely succeed, God willing.
Just design a good website, create excellent product videos, and respond to customers on time. Below, I am sharing some insights from my client’s store. From these, you can gauge the reality of this business.
“Real Shopify Stats for Pakistan”
This is the performance report for the past three months. In it, you can see that products worth millions of rupees have been sold. However, the actual sales are not as high as shown. What I mean is that you get about 10 to 15 percent profit from this, and the rest are lost in returns of some parcels, some are spent on ads, and some are used to restock. Sometimes, you might have sales of one crore, but when you do the calculations at the end, the profit is zero. This happens when your courier is not reliable, and you have a high number of returns, or your ad is not performing well, causing you to incur high costs for expensive orders.
Just choose a good courier service as I mentioned above. Try to deliver as many parcels as possible, and ensure your ads are performing well. The rest depends on individual luck. May Allah grant you all success.
