Every seller verified by hand. Every rupee held in escrow until the box is in your hands. And an AI that does the boring half of a seller’s job — the listings, the WhatsApp replies, the social posts — so prices stay honest and answers come fast.
Sellers get paid once the order is delivered and the return window closes. A bad seller cannot take your money and disappear, because they never held it.
Registry checks, bank match, a real signature on a real policy.
One tap. A rider collects. The refund is automatic, not negotiated.
Every price, policy and notification in the language you think in — written by AI, checked by us.
One commission, published on the site. No pay-to-win placement, no invented discounts on inflated prices — and a price history that proves it.

Buying online should not take research. Banowi does the checking, the comparing and the chasing so you can just buy the thing.
Say what you need and what you can spend — “quiet inverter AC for a small room, under 90k” — and get five worth comparing, not 200 pages of ads.
AI reads every verified review and tells you the two things people love and the one thing they complain about.
See what an item actually cost last month, so a “70% off” sticker cannot lie to you.
Ask about size, warranty or delivery on WhatsApp and get a straight answer in seconds, in your language.
Live tracking and one honest ETA — pushed to WhatsApp, not buried in an app you never open.
A human decides, the escrow releases or refunds, and nobody has to argue in a comment section.
Not a policy page nobody reads — rules the platform enforces before a seller can take your order.
NTN, CNIC and bank details checked against the registry. A storefront goes live only after a person signs it off — not a script.
Payment is held by Banowi, not the seller. It is released after delivery, or refunded. No chasing, no WhatsApp arguments.
14 days, one tap, a rider at your door. Sellers who dodge returns lose their badge and their ranking.
Most sellers in Pakistan lose the day to typing listings and answering the same WhatsApp message forty times. That whole day is automated here.
Snap the product. AI writes the title, description, specs, category and search keywords in Urdu and English, and cleans the background.
Order confirmations, dispatch and delivery updates, catalogue sharing and cart nudges — sent for you, answered for you, 24/7.
Captions, carousels and short clips for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, scheduled when your buyers are online and linked to checkout.
A live price band from what comparable products actually sell for, plus a nudge before you price yourself out of the first page.
Told what to restock, what is going stale, and which city is about to run you out of stock — before it costs you the sale.
Risky orders, fake reviews and return abuse flagged automatically, so your rating never pays for someone else's game.
Every automated message is signed as automated, every AI draft is yours to edit, and a human is one tap away. Automation should save your time, not spend your customer’s.
Get it on day oneA storefront, live inventory, payouts every Friday, and a buyer who already believes the badge next to your name — with the AI above doing the typing.
Banowi is a trust-first online marketplace for Pakistan. Sellers are verified by hand before they can list, payments are held in escrow until your order is delivered, and every review comes from a confirmed buyer.
We open in waves, city by city, starting with a private beta. Join the waiting list and you'll get one email the moment early access opens where you are.
Your payment is held by Banowi, not the seller. It is released only after the order is delivered and the return window closes — otherwise it is refunded to you automatically.
Yes. Cash on delivery stays available alongside card and wallet payments, with the same return and dispute protection.
Photograph a product and Banowi's AI writes the title, description, category, specs and search keywords in both Urdu and English, cleans up the photo background, and suggests a price band from what similar products actually sell for. It also drafts your social posts, answers repeat buyer questions, and flags orders that look like fraud before you ship them.
Connect your WhatsApp Business number once. Banowi then sends order confirmations, dispatch and delivery updates, and return instructions automatically, replies to common questions in Urdu or English around the clock, shares your live catalogue in chat, and nudges buyers who left something in the cart. You are handed the conversation the moment a buyer asks for a human.
Yes. Banowi turns your products into ready-to-post captions, carousels and short-form clips, schedules them at the hours your buyers are actually online, and links every post straight to a checkout. New stock, restocks and price drops can go out on their own.
Pick “I want to sell” on the waiting list. Founding sellers pay no commission for their first three months, get payouts every Friday, and are onboarded within 24 hours of approval.
A flat 5% commission, published openly on the site. No paid placement, and no invented discounts on inflated prices.
We open in waves, city by city. Leave your email and you’ll be in the first one — buying or selling, both doors open here.
