Pakistani e-commerce runs on WhatsApp. Unlike Western markets where customers browse websites and check out online, the majority of Pakistani e-commerce transactions are initiated, negotiated, and confirmed through WhatsApp conversations. This creates an immense opportunity — and an immense operational burden.
A Pakistani e-commerce business receiving 200 WhatsApp inquiries per day needs to:
- Answer product questions (color, size, availability, price)
- Share product images and catalog
- Collect order details (name, address, product, quantity)
- Confirm COD orders (to reduce fake orders and return rates)
- Provide delivery updates
- Handle complaints and returns
Doing this manually requires 2–4 full-time staff. Conversiq does it automatically, with zero staff, 24 hours a day.
The Complete WhatsApp E-Commerce Journey with Conversiq
Stage 1: Product Discovery
A customer messages: "Aoa, koi dress hai 1500 mein?"
Conversiq instantly understands the query — budget range, product category, language (Roman Urdu) — and responds with relevant products from your catalog, complete with images, descriptions, and prices. All within WhatsApp. No website redirect required.
Stage 2: Product Questions and Catalog Browsing
The customer asks follow-up questions: sizes available, colors in stock, delivery time to their city. Conversiq answers all of these from your configured product database — accurately, instantly, in whatever language the customer uses.
Stage 3: Order Collection
When the customer is ready to order, Conversiq guides them through a structured order collection flow:
- Confirm product, size/variant, and quantity
- Collect full name
- Collect delivery address (city, area, full address)
- Collect phone number for delivery coordination
- Confirm payment method (COD or online)
All order details are simultaneously logged to your order management system — Google Sheets, Notion, or your custom backend.
Stage 4: COD Confirmation (Critical for Pakistani E-Commerce)
COD return rates in Pakistan average 30–40%. Conversiq reduces this significantly with an automated COD confirmation flow — immediately after order placement, the customer receives a confirmation message asking them to reply "CONFIRM" to verify their order. This single step reduces ghost orders by 40–60%.
Stage 5: Delivery Updates
As orders are processed and dispatched, Conversiq sends automated status updates directly to the customer's WhatsApp — reducing "where is my order?" inquiries by up to 70%.
Stage 6: Post-Delivery Follow-Up
After delivery, Conversiq automatically sends a satisfaction check-in, a review request, and (where appropriate) a re-purchase offer — turning one-time buyers into repeat customers.

Why Conversiq Is Built for Pakistani E-Commerce Specifically
Roman Urdu Support
Pakistani e-commerce customers communicate predominantly in Roman Urdu — "kitna price hai?", "size medium available hai?", "Karachi deliver karte ho?". Conversiq understands and responds in Roman Urdu natively, unlike international chatbot platforms that struggle with this communication pattern.
COD-First Design
Most global chatbot platforms are designed for card payment markets. Conversiq is designed around Pakistan's COD-dominant market — with built-in COD confirmation flows, fake order detection signals, and address verification prompts.
Low-Bandwidth Optimization
Conversiq's responses are optimized for WhatsApp's messaging format — concise, image-supported, and fast-loading even on 3G connections common in Pakistan's tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Setup and Pricing
Conversiq's e-commerce setup includes:
- Custom AI persona with your brand voice in English, Urdu, and Roman Urdu
- Full product catalog integration
- Order collection and logging workflow
- COD confirmation automation
- Delivery update integration
- Google Sheets / CRM sync
One-time setup: PKR 20,000 — with lifetime core updates and dedicated support.
