“As Pakistan’s largest e-commerce platform, Daraz.pk is uniquely positioned to bring Black Friday to Pakistan with the best possible shopping experience for our customers. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day around the world, and it is our responsibility that the event in Pakistan lives up to its legacy. We have moved mountains over the last three months to set the bar high for years to come, and to make sure we deliver an unparalleled experience to delight our customers,” said Bjarke Mikkelsen, co-CEO Daraz.pk.

The e-commerce giant plans on revealing all the deals on the big day itself starting from midnight tonight. However, to create Daraz.pk has already leaked some hero deals, giving customers a sneak peek into the shopping bonanza. From category discounts as high as 63 per cent on smartphones, 50 per cent on computing and 70 per cent on fashion and accessories, customers should be all set for a shopping frenzy.

Daraz.pk is offering cash on delivery as well as the Easypay payment option, with which customers can avail (up to) 25 per cent additional discount.

The process of paying via Easypay is very simple. Once you’ve placed your order, select to pay with Easypay and then complete the payment using:
