Author’s Point of View:
Unfortunately, There is no local payment processor available to process online payments in Pakistan, As you can see in India, like; EBS, Directpay, Airpay, Zaakpay, PayU, CC Avenue, PayMate, Direcpay and Citruspay etc.,
So you need to use foreign services as mentioned above.
