  1. Great! very informative article, Pakistan is an emerging industry in online shopping and this is where ewallets will be most beniicial, most of the things are very unknown to customers like payment method and delivery time, Thanks for sharing, it will definitely help to boost online sales in Pakistan. One more website is kuickpay which I found very useful, I can pay my daughter school fee from it. Cheers!

  2. I tried all of ’em, but trust me Easypaisa is currently the best, it’s easy to use and it’s daily cashback campaign is Awesome as of right now…

    I recommend anyone to use Easypaisa.
