Most food orders in Pakistan are still paid in cash. But more customers now prefer to pay with JazzCash, EasyPaisa or a bank app. Your ordering website should handle both.
Cash on delivery
Simple and familiar. The risk is fake or prank orders: food cooked, rider sent, nobody answers. Three things help:
- Phone verification. Customers confirm their number with a one-time code before the first order.
- Blocking. Block a number that has placed fake orders, so it can't order again.
- Minimum order and delivery areas. Only deliver where you can reach on time.
Scan-to-Pay with JazzCash, EasyPaisa or bank transfer
The customer pays straight into your own account and uploads a screenshot at checkout:
- Add your account title and number (and your QR code if you have one) in Settings → Payment methods.
- The screenshot shows on the order. Check the money arrived, then mark the order paid.
- The money never passes through anyone else, so there's no payment gateway fee and no waiting for a payout.
Which should you offer?
Both. Keep cash for customers who want it, and offer Scan-to-Pay for everyone else. Some shops ask for advance payment on large orders or for new customers, and accept cash from regulars.
Keeping track
Your reports split sales by payment method, so you can match the day's JazzCash and EasyPaisa payments against your account, and cash against what your riders bring back.
