Pricing a real store, not a Facebook page with a cart
Why ecommerce is priced the way it is for a Chattogram seller
Chattogram sellers come at ecommerce pricing from two very different doors, and that is the first thing the cheap quotes ignore. One is the F-commerce seller who has outgrown comments and inbox — the cosmetics or fashion page run out of a flat in Chawkbazar, the dry-fish or local-specialty brand shipping nationwide, the home-baker who is tired of writing the same delivery charge fifty times a day.
The other is the importer or wholesaler off Khatunganj or Reazuddin Bazar who has been moving goods through middlemen for years and finally wants to sell direct to retail online. Same city, completely different store, completely different price — and a 9,000-taka template can serve neither honestly. This page is about what each one actually costs and why.
I am RH Fardin. I have spent around five years designing and building websites, and I handle every project end to end — the discovery call, the product structure, the design in Figma, the front-end build, the bKash and Nagad integration, the courier and cash-on-delivery flow, and the WhatsApp message when a price needs changing before a campaign goes live. There is no agency layer. That single fact is the biggest thing keeping an ecommerce website design price in Chattogram sane: no Dhaka tower-office rent in the figure, no account manager taking a cut, no salesman who sold you a senior and then handed your store to a junior who has never wired a payment gateway in his life.
So what actually moves the number for a store here? Product count and how messy the catalogue is — a 25-SKU clothing line is not a 500-SKU general store with category trees, filters and stock logic. Payment depth — a single bKash redirect is one job; bKash Tokenized Checkout with one-tap repeat purchase, plus Nagad and SSLCommerz behind it, is real extra work and KYC coordination. Variants — a clothing brand needs size and colour, a hardware or electronics importer needs warranty, condition and unit-of-sale.
Courier and COD — Pathao, Steadfast or RedX wired in so your operator is not retyping addresses, and a cash-on-delivery flow that actually marks the order paid after the rider hands it over. And how much copy I am shaping from your raw notes. Pin those down and the figure stops drifting.
The tiers hold whether your letterhead says Chattogram or Chittagong, and whether you run the shop from Agrabad or from a flat in the hills. 50,000 BDT for a focused store — one gateway, one courier, a clean mobile-first build. 90,000 BDT for the mid-size shop most growing Chattogram sellers land on: more SKUs, bKash plus Nagad, real variants, stronger on-page SEO. 1,50,000 BDT for a heavier catalogue with multiple integrations and an admin your in-house staff can actually run in Bangla mixed with English.
From 3,00,000 BDT when the brief is genuinely custom — a store that has to behave like a small ERP. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch, and you approve the full design before I write a single line of code.
