From Zero to Live Store in a Day: How 12Commerce Onboarding Actually Works

A walkthrough of 12Commerce's six-step onboarding flow — from signup to a live, mobile-ready storefront.

Why setup speed matters for SMBs

Most small business owners in Pakistan don't have a developer on staff, and can't wait weeks for an agency to build a store. 12Commerce is built around a six-step onboarding flow that takes a business from signup to a live storefront in a single session.

The six steps

• Business details and category selection.
• Store branding — logo, colors, basic identity.
• Product catalog upload, individually or in bulk.
• Payment and delivery configuration, including Cash on Delivery.
• WhatsApp Business API connection for order and inquiry handling.
• Review and go live.

What happens after go-live

Once live, the free tier lets a business start taking orders immediately with no upfront cost, and upgrade to paid tiers (PKR 1,000, 2,400, or 15,000/month) as catalog size, traffic, and feature needs grow.
