What an Uttara ecommerce build actually costs, and what drives that number
A real working ecommerce store starts at 50,000 BDT. That tier gets you a clean storefront for up to around 30 products, single category, bKash personal merchant integration, COD, basic Pathao integration, mobile-first checkout, and the admin training to run it yourself. At 90,000 BDT, you move into multi-category territory with proper inventory tracking, both bKash and Nagad merchant API, Steadfast plus Pathao with hub selection, customer accounts, abandoned-cart recovery emails, and a WhatsApp order-confirmation hook.
The 1,50,000 BDT tier is the proper Uttara store: 200+ SKUs, variants and combinations, SSLCommerz with all gateway options, custom Bangla email templates, vendor coupons, GA4 and Meta Pixel with full ecommerce events configured, and product schema so your items show up in Google Shopping previews. Anything heavier, like multi-vendor marketplaces, ERP integration, custom POS sync for a physical Uttara outlet, or B2B wholesale pricing tiers, sits in the custom range starting at 3,00,000 BDT.
What drives cost up is not flashy design. It is integrations, edge cases and content. A single category clothing store with 40 products is far cheaper than a 200-SKU electronics store where every product has a warranty period, model number, compatibility matrix and three colour-storage variants. Two payment gateways instead of one adds work. Multiple courier APIs adds work. Bangla-English bilingual interface roughly doubles the content effort.
If you have proper product photography ready, structured data in a spreadsheet, and a clear answer to 'who handles returns from Uttara back to your warehouse', you stay near the floor price. If those are still open questions, we will solve them together, but they take time and the quote reflects that. Either way the price is fixed at the start in writing, paid 50% advance and 50% on launch.
