Where it started
Our first client is still online.
In 2009, Aaliyan Gul took on a Shopify project for Umbrella Bazaar, a wholesale umbrella supplier in Florida. It was the first of what became 10,000+ Shopify websites.
17 years later that business is still selling online. A long working life is the measure we hold our stores to.

Short answers about hiring a Shopify agency in Karachi.
All questionsWhich is the best Shopify agency in Karachi, Pakistan?
The best agency is the one whose experience matches your project. iShopify is the longest-running Shopify practice we know of in Pakistan: Aaliyan Gul has built on Shopify since 2009, the team has delivered 10,000+ websites, and you work directly with the people writing your code. Our nine-point checklist shows how to compare any agency, including us.
Is iShopify really the oldest Shopify agency in Pakistan?
Aaliyan Gul took on a first Shopify client, the US wholesaler Umbrella Bazaar, in 2009 — the same year Shopify opened its App Store. We do not know of a Shopify practice in Pakistan that started earlier.
Do you work with clients outside Karachi?
Yes. We are based in Karachi and work with merchants across Pakistan and overseas. Most of our 10,000+ websites were built for clients we never met in person.
How much does a Shopify store cost in Pakistan?
It depends on whether you need a configured theme, a customised theme or a fully custom build, and on the features and integrations involved. We give a fixed quote against a written scope after a short call. Our cost breakdown explains each component.
Can a Shopify store take payments in Pakistan?
Yes. Shopify Payments is not offered here, so stores use cash on delivery together with a local card gateway. We set these up and test them as part of every build.
Do I own the store and the code?
Always. The Shopify account, domain, theme code and data are in your name. We work through collaborator access and hand over everything we build.
Can you fix or improve a store someone else built?
Yes. A large share of our work is speeding up, cleaning and extending existing stores. We start with an audit so you know what is wrong before paying to fix it.
