The short answer
Nextal Solutions is a web development company in Lahore, with an office in Gulberg 3, that builds websites and online stores to the same standard as our US, UK and Gulf work. We build for how Pakistan pays, with JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and cash on delivery, set Urdu properly, and keep every account in your company's name.

01 · Payments
Which payments can a Pakistani website take?
More than an off-the-shelf template expects. Shopify Payments is not offered in Pakistan, and Stripe does not list Pakistan among its supported countries, so a store here takes cards and wallets through local providers. JazzCash and Easypaisa both run online payment gateways for merchants, Raast QR lets a customer pay from any participating bank app or wallet, and cash on delivery still sits alongside all of them.
Wallet payments do not finish on your website. With JazzCash, the customer approves the payment on their own phone with their MPIN, and a voucher can be paid at a JazzCash retailer after the customer has left the site. We build the checkout to wait for the provider's confirmation before an order is marked paid, hold voucher orders until they are paid, and confirm cash on delivery orders on WhatsApp before they ship. Each provider needs a merchant account in your business's name, and we help you apply.

02 · Platform
Which platform should a Pakistani store be built on?
The one whose payments work here and whose editor your team will actually use. Shopify is quick to launch and easy to run, but because Shopify Payments is not available in Pakistan, cards and wallets come through a third-party provider, as Shopify's own help pages say for countries it does not cover.
WooCommerce runs on WordPress on hosting you control, so any gateway with an integration can be added. A custom Next.js build suits stores with unusual pricing, trade ordering or a web app behind the shop.
We recommend one in writing after the scoping session, including which payment providers it will use and who on your team will run it day to day. Your catalog, your delivery partners and how many orders arrive on WhatsApp instead of the website all change the answer.

03 · FBR invoicing
Does our website need to connect to FBR?
If you are registered for sales tax, your invoicing does. FBR says electronic invoicing is mandatory for corporate and non-corporate registered persons, and that their point of sale, ERP or any other invoicing system must be integrated with FBR through a licensed integrator. PRAL acts as a licensed integrator and provides integration free of cost on demand.
We are not a licensed integrator, and we say so up front. What we do is make sure every order from your website reaches the system that issues your invoices, with the customer, product and tax fields it needs, so your integrator connects one system instead of chasing orders across a website, WhatsApp chats and a spreadsheet.

04 · Urdu
Can the website be in Urdu?
Yes, and properly. Urdu is written right to left, so the whole page flips, not just the text: navigation, arrows that point forward and form fields all mirror. Urdu is written in the Nastaliq style, and there is still no way to tell a browser to fall back to another Nastaliq font when the chosen one is missing, an open issue in the W3C's Arabic script work.
So we serve a Nastaliq web font with the site instead of trusting whatever fonts a visitor's phone has.
Arabic-script letters reach much further above and below the line than English ones, so Urdu text gets its own line spacing, and the font loads only on Urdu pages. Urdu and English pages each get their own address and are linked to each other, so Google shows the right language to the right searcher.

05 · Ownership
Who owns the domain, the accounts and the code?
Your company does. Pakistani domains are registered through PKNIC, the .pk registry, where .com.pk is for general business or individuals and names can also sit directly under .pk. We open the domain, hosting, payment provider accounts and analytics in your company's name from the first day, with our access added as a user you can remove.
The code lives in a repository you own, and on full payment the work is yours, the same terms as every client of Nextal Solutions. If you ever change developers, you hand over logins, not a negotiation.

06 · Scoping
Can we plan the website with you in person?
Yes, at our office in Gulberg 3. Bring the people who will run the site: whoever answers WhatsApp orders, whoever books couriers and whoever handles accounts. In one working session we walk through how an order really moves today, from the first message to delivery and the invoice, and mark what the website has to do at each step.
You leave with a written scope to follow: pages, payment providers, platform, integrations, what is out of scope and a fixed price, agreed before any work starts. Businesses outside Lahore run the same session with us on video.

How long does a website take with a Lahore team?
A focused company website usually takes four to six weeks. An online store with local payments takes longer, because each payment provider has to approve your merchant account before checkout can go live. Your written scope gives the dates.
Can you add JazzCash or Easypaisa to our existing website?
Usually, yes. If your platform already supports the provider, it is a setup and testing job; if not, we build the integration against the provider's documentation and test it in their test mode first. Either way you need an approved merchant account with the provider.
Do you build Shopify stores for Pakistani businesses?
Yes. Shopify works well for many stores here. The difference is that payments come through a third-party provider, because Shopify Payments is not offered in Pakistan, so we set that up and test every payment method before launch.
Will the website handle cash on delivery?
Yes. Cash on delivery orders are confirmed with the customer on WhatsApp before they are booked with a courier, so you only ship orders the customer has confirmed.
Can we launch in English and add Urdu later?
Yes. We build the layout to flip right to left from the start, so adding Urdu pages later is new content, not a rebuild.
Do you only work with businesses in Lahore?
No. Lahore businesses can meet us at the office, and businesses in Karachi, Islamabad and elsewhere in Pakistan work with us on video and WhatsApp, with the same written scope, weekly reports and ownership terms.
Who looks after the website after launch?
Your choice: a monthly care plan with updates, monitoring and small changes, or a full handover with documentation so your own team or another developer can take over.
Why choose a Lahore company that builds for international clients?
Because the bar does not change: written scopes, weekly written reports, payments tested before launch and every account in your name. The team that builds for US, UK and Gulf companies builds your site.
