Islamabad has a younger, tech-savvy business scene than its quiet streets suggest: IT and computer accessory traders, boutique designers, home bakers and freelancers turning side projects into brands. If you want to start an online business in Islamabad, an Arbsbuy Pakistan store lets you reach customers beyond the capital, in Karachi, Quetta and small towns across Punjab. Buyers order with cash on delivery, and couriers collect from your address.
Opening a store costs nothing, and no setup fee applies. Commission is only taken when an order is delivered: Islamabad sellers pay 7% commission on the Free plan, with no monthly fee and no product limit. Earnings for delivered orders are paid every Friday, which suits a side business that needs regular cash more than a large monthly settlement.
What Islamabad makes
- IT and computer accessories
- Boutique and designer clothing
- Books and stationery
- Home bakers and packaged food
From Islamabad to the whole country
The capital's computer markets and online-first boutiques already know how to sell to demanding customers. An online store lets them do it nationwide. A G-9 trader can ship keyboards and routers to students in Mardan, a designer can sell a lawn collection to buyers in Hyderabad, and a home baker can offer packaged treats that meet our food rules. Cash on delivery helps those distant buyers trust a seller they have never met.

Only the commission is ours. The courier or payment company cuts government tax from the sale money under FBR rules (2% income tax + 2% sales tax on Cash on Delivery, 1% + 1% online), the same on every platform and courier, and it is deducted from payouts. The income tax part is double for sellers without a verified NTN. How to get a free NTN. See Seller Agreement, section 8.

Selling from Islamabad: FAQs
Will a courier collect from my home office in a sector?
Yes. Once you mark an order ready, a courier collects it from the address in your seller profile, whether that is a markaz shop or a flat in G-11.
On which day are capital-based sellers paid?
Friday. Each week, delivered orders are paid out after the commission for your plan is taken off.
Which products suit a store run from Islamabad?
Clothing, computer accessories, books, home decor and packaged food all fit well. Every listing must follow the Seller Policy, which lists prohibited and restricted items.
Is tax deducted from my sales?
Yes, government tax only. The courier or payment company withholds tax on the sale money under FBR rules (2% income tax + 2% sales tax on Cash on Delivery, 1% + 1% online), as on every platform and courier, and that amount is deducted from your payout. The income tax part is double for sellers without a verified NTN. Section 8 of the Seller Agreement has the details.
