Online Shopping in Pakistan Gaining Momentum through Mobiles

In this era of technological advancement, we spend the most time with our mobile phones. Where once their function was limited to making and receiving calls, today they have been tailored to serve as cameras, calculators, alarm clocks, notepads and much more. Mobile phones come with web browsers and application stores too now. People can not only surf online from their mobiles, they can go through online shopping catalogs as well and buy products from their phones too. This concept of fully utilizing one’s phone’s capabilities to shop on the go has been gaining momentum in Pakistan too. More and more people are turning to their mobile phones rather than computers and laptops to purchase goods and services online. With the introduction of faster mobile internet in Pakistan, mobile shopping is becoming more and more popular among the masses since now a wifi connection isn’t necessary either for them to shop. Recently, 3G cellular internet was launched in the country. The high speed cellular internet ensures a smoother mobile shopping experience.

Instead of going to shopping malls, Pakistanis can shop hassle free from anywhere through their mobile phones. When most shops and malls are closed, mobile shopping applications remain active. One can buy a pair of jeans or a new laptop at two in the morning and on a public holiday. Such convenience cannot be let go of. No wonder, mobile shopping is becoming the favorite medium of shopping for a lot of Pakistanis.

Since mobile shopping is gaining popularity with the people, more and more retailers are tailoring their websites for the ease of mobile shoppers. Some online retailers in Pakistan like kaymu.pk have launched their mobile applications as well. These apps aim at being interactive and user friendly in order to initiate a much convenient mobile shopping experience for the Pakistani public. Using a mobile app to shop is much easier than shopping from your mobile’s browser since the app is designed specifically for shopping through mobile phones. You can download the Kaymu app now from Google Play store.

With just a tap on their phones, Pakistanis can too now browse catalogs and purchase goods. Moreover, they can have their purchases delivered to their doorsteps as well without having to go to markets and malls and hunting for their desired product from one shop to another. Products ranging from clothing, jewelry and books to electronics and household equipments are all available for sale and are just a few taps away.

M-commerce in Pakistan incorporates the same mode of payment as e-commerce. Customers can order goods and services online and pay by cash when they are delivered to them. This method of payment is not only more secure than entering bank account details online but also allows the customers to return their products upon delivery if they don’t like them. All in all, mobile shopping in Pakistan makes for a fun and convenient shopping experience.
