We are excited to announce our no-code solution - Shopify plugin - that lets e-commerce businesses in Pakistan accept online payments effortlessly and move beyond cash-on-delivery.

E-commerce space is booming in Pakistan, with more businesses going digital. In 2023, Pakistan's e-commerce revenue reached $5.2 billion, positioning it as the 46th largest market globally. By 2025, it is projected to hit $5.91 billion. (Statista)

Shopify, one of the world’s leading e-commerce platforms, has gained traction among Pakistani entrepreneurs due to its ease of use and scalability. However, while setting up a Shopify store is straightforward, one critical challenge remains—accepting online payments.

Challenges e-commerce businesses face in Pakistan

Despite the rise of online shopping, most transactions in Pakistan still rely on cash-on-delivery (COD), which creates several operational and financial challenges for businesses:

🚫 High return rates – COD orders often get rejected at the doorstep, leading to unnecessary logistics costs and lost sales.

Cash flow issues – Payments from COD orders take weeks to settle, delaying reinvestment in business growth.

💸 Operational inefficiencies – Handling cash payments is labor-intensive, leading to delays, reconciliation issues, and fraud risks.

📉 Limited scalability – COD makes it harder to scale, as businesses struggle with logistics and working capital constraints.

On top of that, many available digital payment solutions come with high transaction costs, complex integrations, and limited support for multiple payment methods, making online payments difficult to adopt.

Neem’s Shopify Plugin: A better alternative to COD

Neem’s Shopify plugin is built specifically for Pakistani e-commerce stores, offering a simple and reliable way to accept digital payments and overcome the limitations of cash-on-delivery (COD). Here’s how it helps businesses grow:

No-code integration – Set up Neem’s checkout plugin in less than 5 minutes with zero technical effort.

Multiple payment options –  Accept payments through bank accounts, wallets, debit/credit cards, and other local options, giving customers more flexibility through a single integration.

Lower return rates – With seamless online payments, businesses can reduce order rejections and increase completed sales.

Scalability with digital payments: Reduce dependency on cash, streamline logistics, and improve working capital management—empowering your business to scale efficiently.

Faster settlements (Coming Soon): Get your customer payments from Day 1, ensuring better cash flow and eliminating liquidity challenges.

Brand customisation (Coming Soon): Store owners will soon be able to personalise their checkout experience with brand colours and logos.

For Shopify businesses in Pakistan - spanning from fashion and apparel, electronics, beauty and personal care, lifestyle and home, sports and fitness, and even pet supplies - having the right payment solution isn’t just a convenience, it’s a necessity for growth. By eliminating COD friction and offering fast, secure digital payments, Neem’s Shopify plugin helps e-commerce businesses scale with confidence.
