Why 50,000 BDT works for a Shopify store but not a custom build
Shopify is doing a lot of the expensive work for you. You are renting hosting, checkout, payment routing, inventory, abandoned-cart emails, fraud screening and order management as a monthly subscription. None of that has to be coded from scratch the way it would on a custom platform, so the development cost can sit honestly at 50,000 BDT for a clean launch tier without anyone losing money. That is the entire reason this price exists.
What you are paying me for is the part Shopify cannot do for you: a theme that looks intentional for your specific products, a product taxonomy that matches how Bangladeshi shoppers actually browse, payment and shipping rules tuned for BD couriers, and a launch that does not break on the first burst of Facebook ad traffic.
If your needs grow past that, the 90,000 BDT tier adds heavier theme customisation and more products, 1,50,000 BDT covers multi-collection stores with custom sections, and fully custom Shopify builds with apps and headless work start at 3,00,000 BDT. The cheap tier is real, but it is sized honestly. Anyone offering a Shopify store under 30,000 BDT is either cutting your design, your data or your time, and it shows up after launch.
