Grow your business
- How to Sell Online in Pakistan: Free Step-by-Step Guide for Shop Owners — The easiest way to sell online in Pakistan as a small shop is to list your business on a local platform like Aswaaqo instead of building a website. You add your shop name, category, location and hours, upload products, and customers nearby can order for delivery, pickup or in store and pay cash. It starts with a free trial and runs from your phone.
- 10 Proven Ways to Increase Your Shop's Sales in Pakistan (Offers, Vouchers and More) — The fastest ways to increase a small shop's sales in Pakistan are to be findable online, offer delivery or pickup, run focused offers on best sellers, reward repeat customers with vouchers, collect reviews, and share your store link on WhatsApp. Most of these cost little or nothing and can be done from one app.

POS & billing
- POS Billing Software in Pakistan: What a Small Shop Really Needs (2026) — A small shop in Pakistan needs POS software that makes a bill in seconds, prints on a cheap Bluetooth or USB receipt printer, scans barcodes, tracks stock, records udhar and shows daily sales — on a phone or computer, in Urdu if needed. Aswaaqo includes POS billing with these features alongside online orders, so counter and online sales are in one place.
Khata, udhar & expenses
- Digital Khata: How to Keep Udhar Records on Your Phone (Guide for Shopkeepers) — A digital khata is a phone app that replaces the udhar register. You add each regular customer once, record every credit sale and every payment, and the app keeps their balance correct automatically. In Aswaaqo, turn on Udhar under Settings → Features in My Business, and udhar sits next to your orders, bills and reports.
- How to Track Shop Expenses and Staff Salaries Without a Register — To know your real profit, record every shop expense — rent, electricity and gas bills, stock purchases, staff salaries — in one place as it happens. In Aswaaqo, turn on Expenses under My Business → Settings → Features to record employees, salaries and bills; the Store tab then shows sales and expenses side by side for any date range.
Restaurants
- Restaurant QR Menu and Table Reservations in Pakistan: A Simple Setup Guide — Pakistani restaurants and cafes can put their menu online and let guests reserve a table by scanning a QR code. On Aswaaqo you scan your printed menu to add dishes, create your tables, print each table's QR code, and manage reservations, table orders and bills from one app — alongside delivery and pickup orders.
Delivery
- How to Start Home Delivery for Your Shop or Restaurant in Pakistan — To start home delivery for your shop in Pakistan, decide the area you can reach in 30–45 minutes, set a delivery fee for each zone, and have one or two riders install the Aswaaqo Delivery app and join your business. Customers then order with cash on delivery, you assign a rider, and both you and the customer track them live.
Aswaaqo guides
- What Is Aswaaqo? The Pakistani App to Order From Shops Near You and Sell Online — Aswaaqo is a Pakistani app and website that connects people with local shops near them.
