Shopify alternative in Pakistan

Who EloShop suits as a Shopify alternative

EloShop is the ecommerce platform built into EloERP. It is a strong fit for some stores and a weaker one for others — here is how to tell which you are.

EloShop suits you if

  • Most of your orders are cash on delivery, and refused parcels cost you money.
  • Your buyers order and ask questions on WhatsApp.
  • You ship with TCS, Leopards, M&P, Trax or another Pakistani courier.
  • You take JazzCash, EasyPaisa or local bank payments.
  • You want your store and its assistant in Urdu and Roman Urdu as well as English.
  • You want the store on the same stock, branches and books as your shop or warehouse.

Weigh it more carefully if

  • You sell mainly outside Pakistan and do not use cash on delivery or local couriers.
  • You do not want an ERP behind your store — EloShop is part of EloERP, and your store runs on it.
  • You are looking for a free platform. EloShop is paid, with a 15-day free trial.

In those cases EloShop's strengths matter less, so compare on what you do need.

Before you switch

What to compare before you switch ecommerce platforms

Whatever platform you are moving from, these are the questions that decide whether a store in Pakistan runs smoothly. The right-hand column is what EloShop does for each.

What to checkWhy it mattersEloShop
Cash on deliveryA refused COD parcel costs you the delivery, the return and the time the stock sat in transit.Every COD order is confirmed by the buyer on WhatsApp and scored for risk from past returns, address quality and order value before dispatch. Courier COD remittances are matched to the ledger.
WhatsAppIt is where your buyers already talk to you.A full sales channel on your WhatsApp number: browse, order, pay, track and return. Shoppers sign in to your website with a one-time code on WhatsApp — no passwords.
Local couriersBooking, tracking and chasing failed deliveries by hand does not scale.TCS, Leopards, M&P, Trax, Daewoo, Digidokan and iCargos — booking, tracking and non-delivery handling, with courier choice and cost shown at checkout.
Local paymentsMany buyers pay by wallet or bank, not by card.JazzCash, EasyPaisa, PayFast, Safepay, Meezan and HBL, alongside cash on delivery.
UrduShoppers expect answers in their own language.Store, AI assistant and WhatsApp in Urdu, Roman Urdu and English, with a right-to-left layout for Urdu.
Stock and accountsA store that does not know your real stock oversells; one that does not post to your books means entering every order twice.Runs on EloERP: live stock per branch, every order posts to the ledger, margin after courier charges and returns.
Branches and warehousesShipping from the wrong location adds days and cost.Multi-branch stock, with the branch or warehouse nearest the buyer picked for fulfilment.
Store designThe store has to sell on a phone, and you should be able to change it without a developer.15 store templates for different trades, a section editor, your own domain, and template switching without losing content.
AI that sells and worksAnswers about price and stock have to be right, and nothing should happen without your say-so.A shopping assistant on your site and WhatsApp that quotes live stock and prices, and six AI agents that act only within limits you set, with approvals and an undo log.
Moving your catalogRe-entering products by hand is where switches stall.The Setup agent imports from Shopify, Daraz, WooCommerce, a CSV or product photos, and fills in missing descriptions and photo backgrounds.
CostYou need to know what you will pay before you commit.Pricing on request, billed yearly or monthly on request. The AI is a per-store add-on with a monthly usage cap. 15-day free trial, no credit card.
Switch without losing anything

Switch from Shopify to EloShop without losing your products or orders

You do not have to rebuild your catalog or shut anything down to try EloShop. The Setup agent imports your products, with their variants and photos, from your Shopify store through EloERP's Shopify sync, then fills the gaps: missing descriptions in Urdu and English, photo backgrounds, products with no price or stock flagged for you.

If you keep both stores, the Shopify sync keeps running: products and orders stay in step through EloERP, and orders from both stores arrive in one queue. You decide when — or whether — to point your domain at EloShop.

  • One catalog in EloERP feeds both stores, so a product edited once is edited everywhere
  • One order queue for EloShop, Shopify, WooCommerce and Daraz orders
  • Your own domain on EloShop when you are ready to move it
Shopify free alternative

Is there a free Shopify alternative?

EloShop is not free, and we would rather say so up front. You can try it free for 15 days with no credit card. After that, pricing is on request: EloERP is billed yearly, or monthly on request, and the AI is a per-store add-on with a monthly usage cap, so there is no surprise bill.

When you compare any platform on cost, price the whole setup rather than the plan alone: the store, COD confirmation, courier booking, WhatsApp ordering, payments and the accounting behind them. With EloShop those come in one system on your EloERP account. Book a demo and we will quote for your store.

Moving to EloShop

What moving from Shopify to EloShop involves

The Setup agent does most of the work and asks only what a person would. These are the steps.

Start the trial and connect your Shopify store

Open an EloERP account on the 15-day free trial and connect your Shopify store through EloERP's Shopify sync. Products already in EloERP are your catalog as they are.

The Setup agent imports and fills the gaps

Your products come across with their variants and photos. Missing titles, descriptions, categories, tags and alt text are written in Urdu and English, photo backgrounds are removed, and products with no price or stock are flagged.

Pick the look

From your catalog the agent proposes a template and a palette drawn from your logo. You preview three and pick one — and can switch later without losing content.

Write the store pages

About, delivery, returns, privacy and FAQ pages are written from a short interview on WhatsApp. Your delivery and return rules become the shopping assistant's policy.

Connect couriers, payments and WhatsApp

Couriers, payment methods and your WhatsApp number come from your EloERP settings; add your own domain if you have one.

Go live on the checklist

A test order, a test COD confirmation, a test refund and the product feed submitted to Google. The store opens when every item is green — and your Shopify store can keep running alongside it.
