Why Pakistani Merchants Need a Dedicated Payment Solution
Pakistan's e-commerce sector has grown rapidly. With millions of online shoppers and a fast-expanding digital payments infrastructure — driven by JazzCash, Easypaisa, and Raast — the demand for reliable, flexible payment solutions on Shopify has never been higher.
The core challenge: Shopify Payments is not supported in Pakistan. This means merchants cannot use Shopify's built-in gateway and must integrate third-party providers manually — or through a mediation platform like UnumPay.
Top Shopify Payment Solutions for Pakistani Merchants in 2026
JazzCash
JazzCash is Pakistan's most widely used mobile wallet, with tens of millions of active users. For Shopify merchants targeting mobile-first customers or buyers outside major cities, JazzCash is essential. It integrates with Shopify through third-party gateway apps.
Easypaisa
Easypaisa is the second major mobile wallet in Pakistan. Strong in rural and semi-urban areas, it complements JazzCash coverage. Offering both at checkout maximises reach across Pakistan's diverse buyer base.
HBL Payment Gateway
HBL offers multiple gateway products including Hosted Checkout and Unified Checkout. These support card payments (Visa, Mastercard) and are a reliable choice for merchants targeting urban buyers with higher average order values.
Bank Alfalah and MCB
Both Bank Alfalah and MCB offer Shopify-compatible payment gateways that handle card transactions securely. These are suitable for merchants who need a local bank gateway with established settlement processes.
SafePay
SafePay is a Pakistan-focused payment gateway that aggregates multiple local payment methods including cards, mobile wallets, and bank transfers. It simplifies the integration of multiple methods through a single provider.
Keenu
Keenu is a growing payment gateway in Pakistan that supports card payments and is gaining adoption among Shopify merchants looking for competitive rates.
What to Look for When Choosing a Payment Solution
- Payment method coverage: Does it support the methods your customers prefer — cards, mobile wallets, COD?
- Settlement speed: How quickly are funds transferred to your bank account?
- Transaction fees: What percentage does the gateway charge per transaction?
- Shopify compatibility: Is there a Shopify app or integration available?
- Support: Does the gateway offer merchant support in Pakistan?
