Frequently asked questions
Are you based in Pakistan?
Yes, I am based in Karachi and work with brands across Pakistan. There is no timezone gap, no overnight handover, and calls happen during normal working hours for both of us.
Do you handle cash on delivery and local couriers?
Yes. COD is how most Pakistani stores take the majority of their orders, and the checkout flow around it needs building properly. I also integrate the local courier and fulfilment services stores here actually use.
My store is slow on mobile. Can that be fixed without a rebuild?
Almost always. Pakistani stores are overwhelmingly mobile and often running on slower connections, which makes the usual causes hurt more: app scripts blocking first render, full-size images sent to phones, and tracking tags nobody has audited. That is a fix, not a rebuild.
What does a Shopify project cost?
It depends on scope. Speed and bug work starts small, custom sections sit in the middle, and full builds are quoted after I have looked at the store. Send me the URL and I will come back with a number and a timeline rather than a range.
Pakistani ecommerce runs on mobile, on slower connections, and largely on cash on delivery. That combination punishes a slow storefront harder than it would in most markets: every extra second of load time is paid for twice, once in bounced sessions and again in abandoned COD orders. As a Shopify developer based in Karachi, I build custom Liquid themes, cut load times on live stores, and handle the local pieces — COD checkout flows, courier integrations, PKR pricing — that overseas developers usually leave to somebody else. I currently lead Shopify development for Zero Lifestyle, serving 2M+ customers.
