Shopify Alternative in Egypt
An honest comparison: Shopify is the stronger storefront, Pashkateb brings the store and the books together in EGP.
Shopify is an excellent store platform, but it leaves accounting and inventory to other software and bills in dollars. Pashkateb is an Egyptian alternative at 300 EGP a month that includes the storefront, inventory, invoicing, and accounting, with cash on delivery as a first-class payment method. If you are staying on Shopify, there is a ready integration between the two.
Where Shopify is stronger
- A very large app marketplace with a ready solution for almost anything
- Far more themes and design options
- Global payment and shipping options if you sell outside Egypt
- A mature ecosystem and a large developer community
Where Pashkateb is stronger for an Egyptian merchant
- Priced in EGP, with no exchange-rate exposure
- Accounting and inventory inside the subscription, not a second bill beside it
- Cash on delivery as a core payment method rather than an add-on
- Arabic RTL throughout the storefront and the dashboard
- Every order posts to invoices and customer balances by itself
You do not have to choose
If your Shopify store is running well, you do not need to move it. Pashkateb integrates with Shopify to pull orders, stock, and customer data into the accounting system, so you can keep selling on Shopify and close your books here.
When moving is worth it
- When Shopify plus accounting software together become a real monthly burden
- When you spend every month moving numbers between the store and the books
- When most of your customers pay cash on delivery
- When you sell only in Egypt and do not need a global ecosystem
