If you want to sell online in Lahore, you are in good company. The city is full of garment workshops, shoe makers, electronics traders and home bakers, yet most still wait for customers to walk through the door. Arbsbuy Pakistan gives your business an online store that shoppers in Karachi, Quetta and small Punjab towns can browse, so your market is no longer limited to the people who pass your shop.
Opening a store is free and there is no setup fee. You add products, set your own prices and ship each order through our courier partners, who collect from your shop or home. Commission is only taken when an order is delivered: the rate for Lahore stores is 7% commission, and there is no monthly fee or cap on products. Payouts for delivered orders arrive every Friday.
What Lahore makes
- Readymade garments and fabric
- Footwear
- Mobile phones and electronics
- Food and bakery items
- Books and stationery
From Lahore to the whole country
Lahore's traders already send stock to smaller cities through wholesale, but the final customer rarely knows their name. An online store changes that. A boutique in Shah Alam can sell a new kurta range to a buyer in Gilgit, a shoe workshop can reach a family in Sukkur, and a gadget stall can move accessories nationwide. Cash on delivery gives those first-time buyers the confidence to order from a seller they have never met.

No setup fee. You pick your plan on the application form, and payouts are made weekly (Friday) for delivered orders.
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.
