In recent years, the country has transformed from a cashheavy market into one of the most advanced e-commerce ecosystems in Central Asia. It’s no longer just about where you buy, but how seamlessly that purchase integrates into your daily life.
“Səlem!” (Hello) to a reality where your next purchase is often just a QR code away. Whether you’re looking for local craftsmanship or the latest smartphone, the infrastructure has matured so much that deliveries even reach the remote steppe regions.

The 6 Dominant Players in Kazakh E-Commerce
Technodom The Tech Giant
Technodom isn’t a market leader in electronics and home appliances by accident. The company understands that speed is the most valuable currency today. With their TechnoFast service, deliveries are often completed within 3 hours—a standard that would put many Western retailers to shame.
For tech enthusiasts, Technodom’s tradein options are a major draw. If you’re tracking regional tech costsmuch like the iPhone 16 prices in Turkey which often serve as a regional benchmarkTechnodom offers flexible installment plans (often up to 12 months). With a network spanning over 17 cities and covering virtually the entire country, their supply chain reliability is exceptionally high.
Lamoda Kazakhstan The Fashion Authority
For fashion and beauty, Lamoda is the undisputed go-to in Kazakhstan. The key advantage here is the “trybefore-youbuy” principle. A courier will often wait while you try on the clothes, or you can use one of their modern pickup points equipped with fitting rooms. This significantly lowers the barrier for online apparel shopping.
Their inventory ranges from activewear to premium designer brands. Lamoda has successfully blended logistical precision with a high-end shopping experience, making it the first stop for the country’s fashionistas.
Kaspi. kz The Country’s Operating System
Calling Kaspi. kz a mere “online shop” would be an understatement. It is a superapp that dominates economic life in Kazakhstan. More than half of all electronic transactions in the country flow through this ecosystem. You don’t just buy TVs or furniture here; you pay your utility bills, book doctor appointments, or take out microloans simultaneously.
In an interesting international development, Kaspi is expanding aggressively, recently acquiring shares in Hepsiburada, one of the biggest players for online shopping in Turkey. This connection is massively strengthening the logistical bridges between Central Asia and the Mediterranean. If you live in Kazakhstan, the Kaspi app isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity.
Tickets. kz Your Gateway to the World
Even with “Kaspi Travel” gaining ground, Tickets. kz remains a specialized and reliable platform for travel planning. Whether it’s train tickets for the journey from Astana to Almaty or international flights, the platform wins users over with a clean interface and competitive pricing. In a country as vast as Kazakhstan, having a dependable booking platform for mobility is essential.
Flip. kz From Bookseller to EverythingStore
What started as a Kazakh equivalent to Amazon with a focus on books has grown into a true treasure trove. Flip. kz has expanded its catalog massively, offering everything from toys and home goods to high-quality cookware. Flip is particularly strong in customer service and localized logistics.
With its own courier service delivering to over 35 regions and a dense network of pickup points, Flip reaches customers far beyond the major metropolitan hubs. Payment is flexible and fully moderncash is a thing of the past; today, cards and apps rule the market.
Sulpak. kz The Red Rival
Technodom’s eternal rival, Sulpak, keeps pace with the market leader in every way. Boasting a huge selection of computers, smartphones, and photography equipment, Sulpak is often the destination for bargain hunters looking to compare prices. Digitalization is front and center here too: the integration of online credit and rapid delivery options makes shopping incredibly efficient. If you’re setting up a home office, you’ll often find attractive hardware and software bundles here.
