Introduction
Pakistan’s e-commerce industry has experienced massive growth in the past few years. With increasing internet penetration, smartphone usage, and the rise of digital payment solutions, more people are turning to online platforms to start and expand their businesses. Platforms like Shopify and Daraz have played a significant role in this transformation, providing entrepreneurs, small business owners, and even individuals with the opportunity to earn money by selling products online.
The shift towards online selling is driven by multiple factors, including the convenience of reaching a larger audience, lower startup costs compared to physical stores, and the ability to work from home. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this trend, pushing many businesses to move online as physical stores faced restrictions and declining foot traffic.
