Shopify app · Pakistan · cash on delivery

Your dashboard says PKR 4,000. You kept PKR 1,675.

Kaarobar is one app for the whole cash-on-delivery loop — book the parcel, work the NDR, scan the return, reconcile the courier’s remittance, and end up at the only number that matters: what you actually keep, after everything.

Free plan, no card. Paid plans start at $7.99/month, with a free trial.

The app

This is the screen you open first.

Orders placed, what was actually delivered, what the courier is still holding, and the profit left at the end of it — on one screen, updated as parcels move. Below it, four of the seventeen screens that do the rest of the work.

The Kaarobar overview: 420 orders placed, PKR 3.46M gross order value, PKR 2.47M realised revenue and PKR 131.4k net profit, with an order-lifecycle breakdown, delivered-revenue chart and per-courier delivery success.
Overview. Rendered from a demonstration store — invented orders, invented customers. Your own numbers replace these the first time the app syncs.
The profit breakdown: gross revenue down through cost of goods, courier fees, service GST, income-tax and sales-tax withholding, return cost and operating expenses to net profit.
Profit breakdown. Every deduction between the cash at the door and the money you keep, named.
Couriers and COD: delivered parcels and outstanding cash per courier, with payment aging bucketed by days since delivery.
Couriers & COD. What each courier still owes you, aged by how long they have held it.
The booking queue: fourteen orders ready to book, each with customer, phone, address, courier city, COD amount and courier selection.
Book shipments. The day’s parcels, booked without leaving the app.
The gap

Every app solves one square of the board.

A Pakistani COD brand ends up running four things at once: a booking app for the courier, an analytics app for profit, a scanner for returns, and a spreadsheet for the remittance and the withholdings. Four tools, four dashboards, four different answers to “did this month make money?” — because none of them can see the other three. Kaarobar was built to be the one that sees all of it.

Your numbers

Move the sliders. Watch the month disappear.

This is the same arithmetic the app runs on your real orders — delivered cash in, product cost, freight both ways, GST, packaging and the two withholdings out. Set it to your store and see the gap between what Shopify reports and what reaches your account.

Share of the order value your goods cost you. Kaarobar reads this per product from Shopify’s cost per item.

The rest come back RTO — and every one of them costs freight both ways plus packaging while still counting as a sale on your dashboard.

Illustrative model, in PKR. Packaging is held at PKR 60 a parcel and GST on courier services at 16% of freight; your real figures come from your own orders, costs and courier invoices once the app is installed.

Inside

Seventeen screens. One cash-on-delivery loop.

The free tier keeps the profit truth, because that is the part nobody should have to pay to find out. Everything else unlocks on Starter — every paid plan is the same complete app, and the tiers differ only by how many orders a month they carry. Each module has a page of its own: true net profit, COD reconciliation, returns and RTO, NDR and GST and withholding tax — or see all of them.

Modules

What is moving, what landed, and what it was worth.

OverviewOrders, delivery rate, COD in motion and net profit, on one screen and one date basis.
InsightsThe app reads your own data and tells you what is quietly costing you money.
OrdersEvery order with its live parcel status, customer history and margin attached.
Delivered ordersMeasured on the date it was actually delivered, not the date it was placed.
CancelledSplit by cause, so a customer refusal never hides inside a courier failure.
Couriers & CODCash delivered, settled, and still pending — matched to the courier’s own payouts.
Built here

Written for a market where the customer pays at the door.

Cash on delivery is not an edge case bolted onto a Western analytics app. It is the entire shape of the business — and it is the shape of this one.

The specifics
Currency & time
PKR · PKT

Native, not converted. Every figure is in rupees on Pakistan Standard Time, so day boundaries land where your team’s day actually ends.

Withholding
2% + 2%

Income tax and sales tax withheld on delivered COD are deducted inside net profit — not left as a surprise at filing time.

Couriers
Your carrier

PostEx, Trax, TCS and BlueEx for booking, tracking and automatic remittance matching — and the courier layer is a thin adapter per carrier, so any courier you need is added within 24 working hours. You are not tied to one.

Platform
Shopify

Installs from the App Store and runs inside your Shopify admin. Delivery status and payment status sync back to your orders.

Pricing

One product. You only pick a size.

Every paid plan is the same complete app — no feature is held back for a dearer tier. You are choosing how many orders a month you need to carry. Billed through Shopify, on your existing invoice. Cancel from inside the app.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked.

Answers
Do I have to drop my courier app?

Kaarobar books and tracks through PostEx, Trax, TCS and BlueEx directly, so for most stores it takes that job over. The courier layer is a thin adapter per carrier, so any courier you need is added within 24 working hours and you migrate nothing.

What if my products have no cost price in Shopify?

Margins are only ever as good as your cost per item. Rather than quietly assuming a zero cost and reporting a flattering number, Kaarobar lists every product missing a cost so you can fill the gaps.

Does it really handle the withholdings?

Yes. Delivered COD carries 2% income tax and 2% sales tax withholding. Both are deducted inside net profit and broken out on the Taxes page, with exports you can hand to your accountant.

How far back does my history go?

Kaarobar pulls order history well beyond the usual 60-day window, so your first profit figure is based on months of real trading rather than a fortnight.

How long is setup?

Install from the App Store, connect your courier account, and the sync runs on its own. No CSV imports, no spreadsheet templates, no onboarding call required.

The bottom line

Find out what you actually kept.

Install free, connect your courier, and let it tell you which orders, products and cities were worth shipping.
