Industry
A skincare, cosmetics and perfume online store for your brand
We build online stores for Pakistani skincare, cosmetics and fragrance brands. Shades and bottle sizes are priced and stocked separately, verified-purchase reviews help new customers trust products they can't test, and cash on delivery is built in.

Selling products customers can't try first
Beauty and fragrance are hard to sell online because customers can't smell a perfume, swatch a lipstick or patch-test a serum through a screen. They rely on what other buyers say and on whether the brand looks trustworthy. Screenshots of DMs reposted to a story only go so far.

A skincare or cosmetics brand website in Pakistan needs to build that trust on the page: clear product details, honest reviews from real buyers, a clear returns page, and a store that looks like a proper brand on its own domain rather than a page with a "DM for price" bio.
Shades, sizes and variants with their own price and stock
Beauty catalogues are full of variants. A perfume in 50ml and 100ml, a foundation in a range of shades, a serum in a travel size and a full size. Each option can have its own price adjustment and its own stock, so the larger bottle costs more and a sold-out shade doesn't take the whole product off sale.
- Bottle sizes such as 50ml and 100ml priced and stocked separately
- Shades tracked individually, reserved as soon as they're ordered
- Gift sets or bundles added as their own products
- Search, filters and sorting across the range

Shoppers can filter by options and price and sort results, which helps when your range grows past a handful of products and customers arrive looking for one particular scent, shade or skin concern. Image galleries let you show packaging, textures and swatches from several angles, so customers get as close to seeing the product in person as a screen allows.
Verified-purchase reviews that build trust
For a product people can't test, a review from someone who actually bought it carries real weight. Reviews from customers who purchased the product show a "verified purchase" badge, so new visitors can tell genuine buyers apart from anyone else leaving a comment.

You can hide any review that does not belong on your product pages and reply to the rest from the admin panel. A thoughtful reply to a question about longevity or skin type reassures the next customer reading it, too. Over time, those reviews become one of the most useful parts of each product page for people deciding whether to order.
Launch codes and sales
New fragrance drops and skincare launches often come with a code for followers. You can create percentage or fixed-amount codes with start and expiry dates, a minimum order value, a maximum discount and a usage cap, so a launch offer stays a launch offer.

You can promote a code on the site so visitors who didn't see your story still use it. Sale prices show the percentage off, and the sale and new-arrivals pages give seasonal offers and new launches a home of their own.
COD for fragile, higher-value parcels
Perfume bottles and glass jars are fragile, and many beauty orders carry a higher value, so a disputed or refused COD parcel hurts. The order total, including variant prices, discount and delivery fee, is verified on the server, so the rider collects exactly what your shop set.

Stock is reserved when the order is placed, which matters when a limited batch is nearly gone. Rate limiting on orders from the same connection or email makes scripted fake orders harder, and cancelling an order returns its stock and discount-code use automatically.
Courier booking and tracking from one place
Book Leopards or PostEx shipments directly from the order in your admin panel, with the COD amount sent with the booking. The tracking number is saved and emailed to the customer, and they can check the order on your tracking page, so fewer customers message to ask where their parcel is.

Your store also includes shipping, returns, privacy and terms pages, a sensible place to explain how you pack fragile items and what your policy is on opened products. Being clear about these rules before ordering is especially important for skincare and fragrance, where hygiene affects what can be returned.
A store that looks as considered as your packaging
Beauty buyers notice presentation, and a store that looks as polished as your products makes it easier to ask a stranger to order a perfume they have never smelled. Your store is custom-designed around your brand on your own domain, with a WhatsApp chat button for customers who want to ask about a shade or skin type before ordering. The demo store at /demo shows how product pages, reviews and checkout fit together.
Frequently asked questions
Can one perfume have 50ml and 100ml options at different prices?
Yes. Each option can have its own price adjustment and its own stock, so different bottle sizes or shades are priced and tracked separately on the same product page.
How do I stop fake reviews appearing on my products?
Reviews go live when they are posted, and you can hide or reply to any of them from the admin panel. Reviews from customers who actually bought the product show a verified-purchase badge.
Can customers ask about a product before ordering?
Yes. The store includes a WhatsApp chat button, so customers can message you about shades, skin types or scents while they browse.
Can I give followers a launch discount code?
Yes. You can create codes with start and expiry dates, usage limits, a minimum order value and a maximum discount, and choose whether to promote the code on the site.
How much does a beauty or perfume store cost?
It depends on your range and requirements. Get in touch with details of what you sell and we'll discuss it and give you a quote.
