Ecommerce website development in Chittagong is not the day the store goes live — it is the day it starts taking orders the way your buyers already order, on WhatsApp, on bKash, on delivery.
I am RH Fardin, a senior website designer and developer in Bangladesh. I personally design, build and ship every store — catalogue, checkout, bKash and Nagad reconciliation, cash-on-delivery logic and the Pathao or Steadfast handoff — for Chattogram sellers from Agrabad trading houses to Khulshi Facebook-page sellers going proper. No agency layer, no juniors, no theme demo passed off as a launch. From 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, design signed off before any code.
One senior operator, ~5 years building real stores in BD. Mobile-first, because nearly every Chattogram buyer checks out on a phone. You brief one person and that person ships.

Most Chattogram sellers do not start from zero when they come to me. They already have a business — a trading house off Agrabad, a clothing or home-goods page run out of Nasirabad, an electronics reseller working the Reazuddin Bazar supply chain — and that business already runs on something: a WhatsApp number, a Facebook inbox, a phone that rings, and customers who have known the shop for years. So ecommerce website development in Chittagong is rarely about inventing a sales channel from nothing.
It is about building a store that fits a business that is already moving, without breaking the way it already takes orders. Get that wrong and the shiny new store just sits there while every real order keeps coming through the same WhatsApp number it always did.
Here is the part a Western-template build never accounts for: in Chattogram the website is often the front of the funnel, not the whole funnel. A buyer finds a product, the first message is koto taka, and the real conversation — colour, size, delivery to Halishahar or out to Cox's Bazar, whether bKash or cash-on-delivery — happens in DMs before money changes hands. A store that ignores this and forces a cold, card-first checkout converts almost nothing here.
A store that respects it — a clear product page, an order form that does not demand an account, a one-tap path from the product straight into a WhatsApp chat with the item details pre-filled — turns the browsing into the conversation your shop is already good at closing. That bridge between the website and the chat is most of the actual work, and it is the part cheap builds skip entirely.
There is also a structural quirk that catches Chattogram trading businesses out: a lot of you sell both retail and semi-wholesale off the same stock. A customer might buy one piece, or a small Khatunganj-adjacent reseller might take twenty. A normal one-price-per-product store cannot handle that, so the store has to be built to show retail pricing cleanly while letting you quote bulk privately through the same chat funnel — not bolt on a clumsy B2B plugin that confuses the retail buyer.
This is the kind of decision that has to be made before the catalogue is structured, not patched in after launch, and it is exactly the kind of decision a junior on an agency assembly line never even asks about.
I work alone and that is the whole point. The person who maps your order flow over a call is the same person who structures the catalogue, writes the checkout, wires the WhatsApp handoff and answers when you message at 10pm because a price needs changing before you post. Around five years of building real running stores in Bangladesh — including the import-and-resell trade Chattogram is built on — means I have seen where these stores actually leak orders, and I build against it from the start. If your budget is genuinely under 50,000 BDT today, I will tell you to keep running on Facebook and bKash and save up first. That is honest sequencing, not a brush-off.
Six things I build into every Chattogram store — the parts that decide whether the website earns orders or just sits next to the WhatsApp number that does all the work.
A one-tap path from any product straight into a WhatsApp chat with the item and details pre-filled. Your buyers ask koto taka the way they always have, but now the conversation starts from your store, not a stranger's Facebook ad.
Clean retail pricing on the page, with a private quote path for the semi-wholesale buyer taking twenty pieces — built into the catalogue structure, not bolted on as a B2B plugin that confuses the one-piece customer.
bKash and Nagad wired to your real accounts so a confirmed payment lines up against the order, not a screenshot you hunt for in WhatsApp at midnight. Cash-on-delivery stays the default because that is how most Chattogram buyers still pay.
Pathao, Steadfast, RedX or Sundarban export-ready, with delivery rates set per zone — inside-city Agrabad or Khulshi at one rate, out to Cox's Bazar or beyond at another. No retyping addresses into a spreadsheet every morning.
Product pages tuned to load fast on a mid-range Android over local 4G in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic, tested before handover. Chattogram buyers will not wait on a slow page, and a slow store quietly loses the ad spend that brought them.
The person you ask koto taka is the same person who maps your order flow, writes your checkout and picks up when it breaks. No agency telephone game, no Dhaka project manager you can never reach, no junior you never meet doing the real build.
Picture how a sale actually closes for a Chattogram seller today. A buyer scrolls past a boosted post, likes the product, and messages — koto taka, ki ki colour ache, Halishahar e delivery hobe? The shop answers, builds a little trust over a few messages, confirms cash-on-delivery or a bKash number, and the order lands. That DM thread is your real shopfront, and it has been working for years.
The mistake most developers make is treating the new website as a replacement for that thread, dropping in a cold card-first checkout that assumes a Western buyer who pays a stranger upfront and never asks a question. So the store launches, looks sharp in the screenshots, and converts almost nothing — because every actual buyer still detours back to WhatsApp, and now you are paying to maintain a website that does not earn its keep.
I build the store as the front of that funnel, not a wall in front of it. The product pages carry the photos, prices and detail a buyer needs to get interested; the order form is short and never forces an account before they see the cash-on-delivery option; and every product has a one-tap jump into a WhatsApp chat with the item already filled in,
so the conversation your shop is good at closing starts from your own store instead of someone else's feed. bKash and Nagad are wired to reconcile against real orders, cash-on-delivery is the default, and the courier export is ready from day one. This is what ecommerce website development Chittagong BD sellers actually need, and we map all of it over a call before I write a line of code, because the order flow has to match how your buyers behave, not a template's assumptions.
Design is approved in Figma first — that is the design-approval guarantee, and you never pay the balance for a build you did not sign off. Price is locked at 50,000 BDT for a focused store, 50% advance to start and 50% on launch, bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. The store should make your best sales channel work harder, not compete with it.

The questions Chattogram sellers actually send before they commit to the 50% advance, answered straight.
It starts at 50,000 BDT for a single-vendor WooCommerce store with bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery live, up to 30 products loaded by me, the WhatsApp order handoff, courier-ready exports and a self-manage admin. The next tier is 90,000 BDT — up to 150 products, filters, customer accounts and abandoned-cart recovery. A larger mid-size store with a custom theme and Pathao courier API runs 1,50,000 BDT. Anything fully custom — multi-vendor, ERP or inventory sync, custom checkout logic — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Hosting and domain are paid separately to the provider in your own name. Payment is always 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Because the website does not replace your WhatsApp — it feeds it and gives you something you own. Right now your shopfront is somebody else's feed: the algorithm decides who sees you, and a buyer has to message before they even know your range. A proper store puts your full catalogue and prices in one link you control, then drops the buyer into a WhatsApp chat with the product pre-filled, so the conversation you are already good at closing starts from your own store. You keep selling on Facebook and on the phone — this adds a channel you own outright, it does not force you to abandon the ones already working.
Yes, and it has to be planned before the catalogue is built, not patched on later. I structure the store to show clean retail pricing on the page for the one-piece buyer, with a private quote path — usually straight into the WhatsApp funnel — for the semi-wholesale buyer taking twenty or more. That keeps the retail experience simple while still serving the Khatunganj-adjacent reseller you do not want to lose. A full self-service B2B portal with tiered logins is a custom build from 3,00,000 BDT, but most Chattogram trading sellers do not need that yet — the quote-through-chat approach covers it cleanly at the standard tiers.
Yes. At the 50,000 BDT tier I set up personal-merchant flow — the buyer pays your bKash or Nagad personal number, references the order ID, and the system matches it when you confirm in admin. Most Chattogram sellers start this way because the bKash Merchant approval takes weeks and needs a trade license and bank details. When you are ready for the bKash Payment Gateway with auto-confirm, I add it as a roughly 10,000 BDT add-on once your account clears — without rebuilding the checkout.
Yes. Pathao, Steadfast, RedX and Sundarban all run Chattogram pickup, so the store exports a courier-ready order file you upload to whichever you use — no retyping addresses each morning. Delivery charges are set per zone, so inside-city areas like Agrabad, Khulshi or Halishahar carry one rate and out-of-city destinations like Cox's Bazar or up to Dhaka carry another, from day one. Full API auto-push to the courier is an add-on, but honestly not worth it until you are pushing past roughly 30 orders a day.
No office visit needed — I work with sellers across Bangladesh, including plenty in Chattogram, over phone and video call, which saves us both half a day in GEC traffic. A 50,000 BDT store runs about 2 to 3 weeks once the advance clears and you send product details and brand assets; the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tiers with full courier API and customer accounts run 4 to 6 weeks. You see and approve the design in Figma before any code is written, and after launch you reach me directly when you need a change — not a ticket queue, not a junior who left the agency two months ago.
