In a major breakthrough for Pakistani entrepreneurs and artisans, Etsy has officially added Pakistan to its list of supported countries for Etsy Payments. This means Pakistani sellers can now legally open shops on Etsy and receive payments via Payoneer, marking a new era of global e-commerce accessibility for the country.

A Game-Changer for Pakistani Sellers

Etsy, a globally recognized online marketplace for handmade, vintage, and craft supplies, had previously restricted sellers from Pakistan due to the lack of direct payment support. However, with this latest update, Pakistanis can now register their businesses on the platform and receive payments directly through Payoneer.

Pakistani sellers will now be able to take advantage of Etsy Payments, which supports multiple payment methods including credit/debit cards, Etsy gift cards, and PayPal (where available). This expansion removes a significant hurdle that had previously forced Pakistani sellers to rely on third-party accounts or international partnerships to access Etsy’s marketplace.

How Pakistani Sellers Can Start Selling on Etsy

To start an Etsy shop from Pakistan, users must:

1. Create an Etsy Seller Account – Register on Etsy and set up a shop.
2. Enroll in Etsy Payments – Choose Payoneer as the primary payment method.
3. Link a Payoneer Account – Sign up for Payoneer (if not already registered) and link it to Etsy for seamless fund transfers.
4. List Products – Upload product images, set prices, and optimize descriptions.
5. Start Selling Globally – Once approved, Pakistani sellers can reach a worldwide audience.

A Boon for Pakistan’s Growing E-commerce Sector

The inclusion of Pakistan in Etsy’s payment system is expected to significantly boost the country’s e-commerce sector. Pakistan is home to thousands of talented artisans, calligraphers, textile designers, and handicraft makers who now have a direct route to international markets. The ease of payment through Payoneer eliminates one of the biggest barriers to entry, making it easier for Pakistani sellers to scale their businesses.

Etsy Payments and Supported Countries

Pakistan joins other Etsy-supported countries where payments are facilitated through Payoneer. This move aligns with Etsy’s vision of expanding its seller base globally and providing more opportunities for entrepreneurs in emerging markets.

What This Means for Pakistani Entrepreneurs

• No More Workarounds: Previously, sellers had to rely on intermediaries in PayPal-supported countries.
• Seamless Payments: Payoneer allows easy withdrawals to Pakistani bank accounts.
• Global Reach: Pakistani artisans can now tap into Etsy’s vast international customer base.
• Boost to Local Craft Industry: Handmade products from Pakistan, including textiles, jewelry, and artwork, can now reach buyers worldwide.

Conclusion

This update marks a historic milestone for Pakistan’s digital economy and small business owners. Etsy’s decision to enable direct seller registration from Pakistan is a testament to the country’s growing influence in the global handmade and digital goods market.

For Pakistanis looking to launch an Etsy shop, now is the perfect time to explore this opportunity and start selling internationally.

Where everyone is going gaga about the Black Friday Sale there are some facts that can tell was it successful or just another ordinary sale.

Black Friday seemed more like a clearance sale rather than an actual discount festival on products. Tweets were bombarded saying,

“Black Friday Sale or Blank Friday Sale?”

Some where it said,

“Black Friday is temporary, Juma Bazaar is forever.”

The news of Black Friday in Pakistan went viral when online shopping sites decided to give a great discount on their products. Stores, local shop owners and everyone was excited.

On 25th of November 2017 second Black Friday Sale is in the news in Pakistan.

People nowadays prefer online shopping a lot along with it if there are discounts on their favorite items they take it as a blessing.

Many online shopping websites offered up to 80% discount in Pakistan. Now the problem was people thought that almost all items will have discount of 80% but this was not the case. It was never meant to be.  Keeping in view that many sites had exaggerated their deals to attract maximum number of customers. To the disappointment of people the things were quite expensive than they had expected them to be.

The internet connection was one of the major problems. As soon the clock hands struck 12:00 the sites became busy and over loaded. Users had to wait for loading of different products. Different websites started to show a message that addressed users requesting them to login after several minutes.

The deals provided by the websites were not as shown. They had other real prices and not all the products were on sale. The products that were on sale were either cheap, not of much use, simple gadgets like ear phones and mobile covers. The clothes were out fashioned and out dated making some exceptions.

Still many sites managed to attract a large number of users. Any sale bazaar can attract people naturally. The first Black Friday Sale was popular but if it is compared with the recent Black Friday Sale than the scales don’t fall to either side. The both were equally famous. They excited a large group of people.

The next Black Friday is hoped to be better than this one. As the online sites would know the flaws and they will try to overcome them the next time.

It was not a really bad sale, but was less than expectations. So it can be said it was neither the gain nor the loss.
