Every week someone messages me on WhatsApp and starts with one sentence: "bhai, ekta ecommerce site banate koto taka lagbe?" — and the answer they get from most places is either suspiciously cheap (15,000 BDT, no payment gateway, no real product structure) or absurdly inflated (8 lakh for a Shopify install with a stock theme). Neither matches what Dhaka sellers actually need to start taking orders. This page exists to give you the real numbers.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer with about five years of building sites for businesses across Dhaka — from Dhanmondi boutiques to Mirpur electronics resellers to Gulshan-based F-commerce pages graduating into a proper website. I design and code every store personally. No junior handover, no "project manager" middleman inflating your invoice. When you pay me for an ecommerce build, you are paying for the hours I spend on your store — not an office overhead in Banani.
An ecommerce site in Dhaka costs more than a brochure site because there is real plumbing involved: bKash Personal vs. Merchant integration, Nagad payment, SSLCOMMERZ gateway setup, cash-on-delivery with proper order verification (Dhaka cancellation rates are brutal if you skip the OTP call step), Pathao or RedX delivery zones with different charges for inside-Dhaka and outside-Dhaka, a product catalogue that supports Bangla and English fields, and an order dashboard your team can run from a phone in the shop.
My pricing floor for any project is 50,000 BDT. For ecommerce specifically, that floor gets you a starter store — small catalogue, manual order flow, one payment gateway. A serious Dhaka online store with multiple gateways, full delivery integration, customer accounts, and a clean admin panel sits in the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT range. Custom ecommerce platforms with inventory sync, vendor logins, or POS connections start from 3,00,000 BDT. Everything is 50% advance and 50% on launch — and you do not pay the final 50% until you have personally approved the design.
Each tier maps to a real type of Dhaka seller. Pick the one that fits where you are right now — you can always upgrade modules later without rebuilding from scratch.
Up to 30 products, bKash Personal/Merchant checkout, COD with manual confirmation, Pathao charge slabs hard-coded for Dhaka and outside, Bangla and English product fields. Right for boutiques and home-baked food sellers moving off Facebook.
Up to 200 products with variants, bKash + Nagad + SSLCOMMERZ (cards), customer accounts, abandoned cart recovery via SMS, Pathao API for live delivery charges, and an admin dashboard usable from a Samsung mid-range phone.
Unlimited products, multi-gateway including Bkash Merchant + Nagad + Rocket + cards, full Pathao/RedX/Sundarban API integration, coupon engine, stock alerts, return/refund flow, GA4 + Meta Pixel events tied to actual revenue.
Custom architecture for marketplaces, B2B portals, subscription boxes, or stores with offline POS sync. Includes vendor onboarding, role-based admin, and a deployment plan that won't fall over during Eid spikes.
Half on signing the scope, half on launch. No "discovery fee", no "design revision charge", no upsell mid-project. If a feature is not in the written scope, I tell you the cost in writing before I build it.
You see and approve the homepage, product page and checkout designs before I write a single line of production code. If the design direction is wrong, we redo it before development starts — not after, when changes get expensive.
The price of an ecommerce site in Dhaka swings on five real cost drivers, not on "design complexity" or how fancy the homepage looks. First, payment gateways: a bKash Personal number is free but limits you; bKash Merchant API and SSLCOMMERZ both require business documents, gateway fees, and integration work that adds real hours. Second, delivery: hard-coding Pathao slab charges is cheap, but a live Pathao or RedX API integration that calculates real-time charges by area, weight and COD-vs-prepaid is a separate module. Third, the product catalogue — a 25-SKU sari shop is not the same project as a 2,000-SKU electronics store with variants, attributes, and filtered search.
Fourth, the order operations: COD-heavy Dhaka stores need an OTP-confirmation step or your courier returns will eat your margin. Order status SMS, automated invoices, and a phone-friendly admin panel for your shop staff all add scope. Fifth, post-launch reality: a 50,000 BDT store gives you a working site, but speed optimization for 2G/3G areas of Dhaka, schema markup for Google product results, Meta Pixel + GA4 conversion tracking, and a proper backup setup are what separate a site that survives from one that quietly bleeds orders. I quote each of these as named line items so you can decide what to include now and what to add in phase two — no mystery numbers.

The questions Dhaka business owners actually ask me before paying the advance.
Starter ecommerce site shuru hoy 50,000 BDT theke — chhoto catalogue, bKash + COD, Pathao charge slab. Serious store with multi-gateway, customer accounts and live delivery API: 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. Custom marketplace or B2B portal: 3,00,000 BDT theke. Everything is fixed-price after I see your product list and order flow.
Because you are buying a working sales system, not a brochure. Payment gateway integration, delivery API, order verification, customer accounts, admin dashboard, inventory logic, GA4/Pixel events tied to revenue — none of that exists on a 5-page company site. Even the cheapest ecommerce tier involves 4–6x the engineering time of a basic informational website.
Yes, but only if your scope matches. The 50,000 BDT tier is for sellers with under 30 products, one payment gateway (bKash Personal or Merchant), COD with manual confirmation, and a fixed delivery charge by zone. If you need multi-gateway, live courier API, or 200+ products, you are in the 90,000–1,50,000 BDT range. I will not undersell you a site that cannot handle your actual orders.
The integration work is included from the 90,000 BDT tier upward. What is not included is bKash and Nagad's own merchant onboarding — those are accounts you open with them as the business owner, and they take a percentage per transaction. I will give you the documentation list and walk you through the application, but the gateway accounts are in your name, not mine.
Hosting and domain run roughly 8,000–18,000 BDT per year depending on traffic and store size. Payment gateway fees are charged by bKash/Nagad/SSLCOMMERZ per transaction (typically 1.5–2.5%). I do not charge a monthly "maintenance" fee unless you want one — most clients prefer to call me for changes and pay hourly, which is cheaper for a stable store.
Yes — that is exactly how I price the tiers. Start at 50,000 BDT with bKash + COD, ship the store, take real orders, then add SSLCOMMERZ + Pathao API + customer accounts in phase two once you know which features actually move revenue. I build the codebase so phase-two additions do not require a rebuild. It is the most honest way to spend money on an online store in Dhaka.
