Ecommerce Development in Lahore

As guidance, a professional online store in Lahore typically ranges from PKR 150,000 to PKR 400,000 or more, depending on platform, product count and custom features. A focused Shopify or WooCommerce store with standard payments and delivery setup sits at the lower end; large catalogues, custom design and integrations cost more. Remember to budget separately for platform fees, domain, product photography and marketing. We provide a fixed quotation after reviewing your products and requirements, so your launch cost is clear before we begin.

Shopify is better if you want the simplest day-to-day experience, very reliable hosting and checkout, and you are comfortable with a monthly platform fee plus transaction costs. WooCommerce is better if you want full ownership, no monthly platform fee and maximum flexibility, and you are happy using WordPress hosting. Both can handle COD, local payment methods and nationwide delivery when configured properly. During our free consultation we compare the total yearly cost of both for your product range and recommend the one that genuinely fits.

Yes. Cash on delivery is configured as standard on every store we build, with clear checkout instructions and confirmation steps that reduce fake orders. JazzCash and EasyPaisa can be added through supported payment solutions or manual verification workflows, depending on your platform and account eligibility. Bank transfer and card payments are also configured where possible. We explain exactly how each method will work for your store — including how you will verify mobile payments — before launch, and we test every method with real test orders.

A standard store usually launches within four to six weeks once product information is ready. The biggest factor is your content: product photos, prices, descriptions and delivery policies. Stores with hundreds of products, custom design features or payment gateway approvals can take longer, as some Pakistani gateways require business documentation and verification time. We give you a realistic written timeline at the start, load an initial batch of products for you, and train your team to add the remainder without delaying launch.

For most growing Lahore brands, yes. Instagram and WhatsApp are excellent for discovery and conversation, but orders get lost in chats, prices are renegotiated repeatedly, and there is no searchable catalogue or automated checkout. A store gives customers one link where they can browse, check delivery charges and order in minutes — while your WhatsApp stays available for questions. Many of our clients keep social selling and simply route serious buyers to the store, which reduces manual work and makes advertising far more effective.

Yes, we regularly migrate stores between platforms — for example from WooCommerce to Shopify or from an outdated custom site to a modern store. Products, categories, customer records and order history are reviewed first; what can be transferred cleanly is migrated, and URL redirects are planned so your Google visibility is protected as much as possible. Migration timelines depend on catalogue size and data quality. Share your current store link during consultation and we will give you an honest migration plan, cost and timeline before any work begins.
