The build is one number. The yearly running cost is the one Rajshahi sellers never get told — so here is the whole bill.
Honest ecommerce website development cost in Rajshahi, broken into the one-time build and the recurring costs you carry after launch — hosting, bKash, courier, upkeep. Development starts at 50,000 BDT and the tiers go 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT, with fully custom from 3,00,000 BDT. Built end to end by one senior developer, ~5 years in. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
One senior operator, not an agency. No Dhaka markup, no junior on your build, no surprise invoice three months after the store goes live.

Here is the trap almost every Rajshahi seller falls into when they ask about ecommerce website development cost: they treat it like buying a phone — one price, paid once, done. So they take the lowest quote, hand over the advance, and six months later discover the real cost. The hosting renewal they did not budget for. The bKash gateway fee they assumed was free. The developer who has gone quiet and now wants a monthly retainer to fix a checkout bug.
The build was 18,000 taka; the year cost them double, and they still do not own the store. Development cost is the one-time number to build the thing. The cost of ownership is what it takes to keep it selling — and a real quote should name both.
On this page, ecommerce website development cost rajshahi means the honest version of both halves. The build starts at 50,000 BDT for a working WooCommerce store: bKash and Nagad set up, cash-on-delivery as the default because that is still how most up-country buyers pay, courier handoff to Sundarban, SA Paribahan or Steadfast, your product catalogue loaded by me, and a checkout that holds up on a mid-range Android over a patchy Rajshahi 4G signal. The recurring side — hosting, domain, gateway fees, the odd update — I lay out in taka before you pay a single thing, so the 12-month number is on the table from day one, not sprung on you later.
I work alone, and that is exactly why I can be straight about the money. There is no Dhaka office charging rent through your invoice, no account manager you are quietly funding, no junior practising on your store while a senior bills you senior rates. The person who quotes you the development cost is the person who designs your homepage, writes your checkout code, and answers the phone in month seven when you have a question.
Around five years of building stores for Bangladeshi sellers — silk, food, books, electronics — has shown me precisely where a small-city shop bleeds money it never sees: a hosting plan oversold for a 30-product store, a payment setup that double-charges, product images too heavy to load on the connection your buyers actually have.
If your real budget is under 50,000 BDT, I will tell you so and tell you to wait — keep selling on your Facebook page and bKash, let the order volume build, and come back when a website pays for itself. That is sequencing, not a brush-off. When the numbers justify it, the 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT ladder lets you start lean and add as you grow, and a fully custom build from 3,00,000 BDT is there only when revenue clearly calls for it.
Payment is always 50% advance and 50% on launch, and you approve the full design before I write a line of code. That is the design-approval guarantee, and it means the development cost buys a store you signed off on, not one you have to argue your way out of.
Six line items that move the price up or down. Understand these and no developer in Rajshahi can fog the quote on you.
The biggest cost fork: a WooCommerce store you own outright from 50,000 BDT, versus renting Shopify at roughly 4,000+ taka a month forever. For a Rajshahi seller doing steady volume, owning is cheaper inside the first year.
Loading 30 silk sets is one cost; 300 SKUs with sizes and colours is another. The 50,000 BDT tier covers up to 30 products by me; past that you move up a tier or load from a CSV I prepare for you.
Personal bKash/Nagad matching is included in the build. A full bKash Payment Gateway with auto-confirm is a 10,000 BDT add-on plus their per-transaction fee — a recurring cost I name upfront, not bury.
Flat inside-/outside-Rajshahi delivery zones come standard. Live courier API rates that update automatically are an 8,000 BDT add-on — worth it once you ship enough that flat rates start eating your COD margin.
Managed hosting and domain run roughly 8,000–10,000 BDT for the first year, paid to the provider in your name. That is the recurring number most local quotes leave out — you will always see it from me first.
No forced monthly retainer. You own the admin and can run it yourself after a training session; I am available for paid updates when you want them, billed per job, not as a subscription you forget to cancel.
Picture a Shaheb Bazar seller moving silk, three-piece sets and Barind honey, currently taking orders through Facebook comments and bKash screenshots. Here is the real year-one cost of going from that to an owned store at the 50,000 BDT tier. The development is 50,000 BDT, one time, paid 50% to start and 50% on launch.
Hosting and domain land around 8,000–10,000 BDT for the first year, paid directly to the provider in your name — never through me, so there is no markup and you control the renewal. bKash and Nagad personal matching is built in at no extra cost; you only pay the official bKash Payment Gateway fee if and when you upgrade to auto-confirm, and that fee is theirs, not mine. Courier is pay-as-you-ship to Sundarban or Steadfast, exactly as you already pay it now.
So the honest year-one figure is roughly 58,000–60,000 BDT all in for a real store you own — versus a cheap 18,000 taka build that quietly becomes a recurring bill on someone else's hosting with their bKash number wired in.
Compare that to the alternatives a Rajshahi seller actually weighs. Renting Shopify is around 4,000+ taka every single month — over 48,000 taka a year that never stops, with bKash and COD only half-supported and the whole shop sitting on a platform you do not own. Selling only on Daraz means handing over a commission on every order and competing on price inside someone else's marketplace, with no customer list and no brand of your own.
Building your own store is more cash upfront than a marketplace listing and more than a 18,000 taka quick job, but it is the only path where the asset is yours — your domain, your hosting, your customer data, your code — and where the cost stops climbing once it is built. That is the case for paying a real development cost once instead of renting your business by the month.
Whichever way you lean, I will give you the taka figures for your specific catalogue before you commit, and if owning does not make financial sense for your volume yet, I will say so.

The cost questions Rajshahi sellers actually ask before paying the advance — answered straight, the price first and the recurring bill named.
The build starts at 50,000 BDT for a WooCommerce store with bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery, courier delivery zones, and up to 30 products loaded by me. The next tier is 90,000 BDT — up to 150 products, filters, wishlist and abandoned-cart recovery. A serious mid-size store with a custom theme and live courier API is 1,50,000 BDT. Beyond that — multi-vendor, ERP sync, custom checkout logic — is custom from 3,00,000 BDT. On top of the build, budget roughly 8,000–10,000 BDT for first-year hosting and domain, paid to the provider in your name. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch.
The development is one-time — you pay it 50% advance, 50% on launch, and that is the whole build price. What recurs is not paid to me: hosting and domain (about 8,000–10,000 BDT the first year, then renewal, paid straight to the provider in your name), and, if you upgrade to the official bKash Payment Gateway, their per-transaction fee. There is no forced monthly retainer from me. I name every recurring figure in taka before you pay anything, because the surprise yearly bill is the single most common way Rajshahi sellers get burned on a cheap build.
For steady volume, owning is cheaper fast. Shopify is roughly 4,000+ taka a month — over 48,000 taka a year, forever, and it never fully fits Bangladesh because bKash, Nagad and COD are awkward to wire in and you do not own the platform. A WooCommerce store from 50,000 BDT is more cash upfront but you own it outright; after year one your only ongoing cost is hosting renewal. So inside about a year an owned store usually costs less than renting Shopify, and from then on the gap only widens. If your order volume is still tiny, I will tell you to wait rather than pay either bill.
Because at 15,000 taka someone is usually handing you a nulled WooCommerce theme on hosting they secretly control, often with their own bKash number wired in temporarily. You do not own it, you cannot move it, and when their server goes down during an Eid or Pohela Boishakh rush you cannot reach them — then comes the monthly fee to keep it running. 50,000 BDT buys a real handover: your hosting, your domain, your admin, your code, all in your name, with the full year-one cost named upfront. If that is not affordable yet, stay on Facebook and bKash and save up. That is honest advice, not a softer pitch.
No monthly fee. After launch I run a training session so you can manage products, orders and payments yourself from your phone — that is the cheapest way to maintain a small store, and it costs you nothing ongoing. The only fixed recurring cost is hosting renewal, paid to the provider. When you do want changes — a seasonal campaign before mango season, a new payment method, extra product filters — I bill that per job, quoted before I start. You are never locked into a subscription, and you never lose access to your own store if you stop hiring me.
Yes, less, and built to the same standard. A Dhaka agency typically charges more for the identical store because their price carries office rent, an account manager and a margin — and the actual coding is often handed to a junior while you wait days for replies from a few hundred kilometres away. I am one senior operator who builds the whole store myself, the same quality a good Dhaka shop ships, without the agency markup or the layers between you and the person writing your checkout code. Everything runs over WhatsApp, Zoom and screen-share, so being in Rajshahi costs you nothing in quality or speed.
