When you shop online in Pakistan you usually have several ways to pay: cash on delivery, EasyPaisa, JazzCash, Raast or a bank transfer. Each has advantages. This guide helps you choose the right one for each order.
Quick comparison
| Method | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Cash on delivery | First orders, new sellers | You pay only when the parcel arrives. Keep cash ready. |
| EasyPaisa | Fast payment from your phone | Pay from your wallet; no cash needed at the door. |
| JazzCash | Fast payment from your phone | Works like EasyPaisa, using your JazzCash wallet. |
| Raast | Instant bank-to-bank payment | Free instant transfers between Pakistani banks and wallets. |
| Bank transfer | Larger amounts | Use the exact account shown at checkout. |
Cash on delivery
Pros: you pay nothing until the parcel reaches you, so it is the safest choice with a seller you don’t know. Cons: you need the exact cash ready, and refunds take longer because the money has to be sent back to an account. Read our cash on delivery guide.
EasyPaisa and JazzCash
Pros: fast, no cash at home, and refunds can go straight back to the same wallet. Cons: pay only through the marketplace’s checkout, not to a personal number someone sends you in a chat. Never share your PIN or OTP code with anyone.
Raast and bank transfer
Raast, the State Bank of Pakistan’s instant payment system, lets you send money instantly between banks and wallets. It is convenient for larger orders. Always double-check the account name and amount before you confirm.
Which one should you choose?
- Buying from a seller for the first time? Choose cash on delivery.
