Ecommerce website development in Dhaka is not a website with a buy button. It is the system that runs your shop: stock, payments, couriers and returns. That is the part most builds quietly skip.
I am RH Fardin, a senior website designer and developer who builds stores for Dhaka businesses. I personally plan, design, build and ship every store. That covers product schema, checkout, bKash and Nagad reconciliation, cash-on-delivery logic and the Pathao or Steadfast handoff. No agency layer, no juniors, no theme demo dressed up as a launch. Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch. A design-approval guarantee comes before any code is written.

One mistake costs Dhaka shop owners the most money. They think ecommerce website development in Dhaka is web design with a shopping cart added. It is not. A brochure site can be wrong and nobody notices. A store that is wrong does real damage, fast.
It takes a paid bKash order for a product you sold out of yesterday. It fails to mark that order Paid in your panel. It creates no Pathao pickup. You find out three days later, when an angry buyer in Banani messages your Facebook page. The real job is building the system that prevents that. The design is the easy 20 percent on top.
So when I scope a store, most of the talk is about parts customers never see. Does a bKash payment confirmation actually mark the order Paid? Or are you left matching screenshots by hand at midnight? When stock hits zero, does the product hide itself or keep selling?
Some cash-on-delivery orders get refused at the door in Mirpur, about a fifth of them. Does your stock count correct itself, or drift until your numbers are fiction? Does the Steadfast pickup create a tracking ID that lands in the buyer's SMS? Or does someone on your team copy addresses into a spreadsheet every night? Those decisions are the actual job.
I work alone, on purpose. The person who reviews your product list on a Google Meet call is the same person writing the checkout code. I am also the one who answers WhatsApp at 11 PM on a Friday, when your ad is spending and the cart throws an error.
That is the trade. I can't run forty stores at once like a Banani agency, and I don't want to. You get one senior who understands your shop end to end. You don't get a project manager passing your file between three juniors who each touch a different broken piece.
Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused single-category WooCommerce store. It includes bKash, cash on delivery, about 30 products and a properly built backend. The 90,000 BDT tier adds Nagad, customer accounts, a multi-category catalogue and the Pathao courier API.
The 1,50,000 BDT tier covers larger catalogues with abandoned-cart automation and a custom admin dashboard. Fully custom ecommerce, such as a marketplace, B2B portal or custom inventory sync, starts from 3,00,000 BDT. It is always 50 percent advance and 50 percent on launch day. You sign off on the design before development starts.
Here are six things I build into every Dhaka store. This is the plumbing that decides if you keep your margin or leak it.
bKash and Nagad connect to your real accounts, so a confirmed payment marks the order Paid on its own. Nobody matches transaction IDs against WhatsApp screenshots at midnight.
When a SKU hits zero, it hides or shows out of stock. It never takes a paid order you can't fill. COD refusals correct the count, so your stock numbers don't drift into fiction.
The Pathao or Steadfast API is connected. A paid order creates a pickup, and a tracking ID lands in the buyer's SMS. Your team stops copying Dhaka addresses into spreadsheets.
The store is tuned to hold up when an Eid or Pohela Boishakh campaign sends a traffic spike. It won't fall over the one week it finally matters. That means caching, image compression and a lean checkout.
Adding a product, changing a price in taka, marking an order dispatched or pulling a sales report takes 30 seconds. There is no code. It is simple enough for a staff member who barely uses email.
Hosting, domain and admin are in your name, and you keep the code. The senior who scoped it built it, and he picks up WhatsApp after launch. No handoff, no lock-in.
There is a quiet ladder in who builds ecommerce in Dhaka. Knowing it can save you a wasted 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. At the bottom is the 15,000 BDT Facebook "developer". He installs a nulled theme, adds his own bKash number for now, and vanishes. You never owned that store and can't move it.
In the middle is the agency that takes your brief seriously in the sales meeting. Then a junior does the build while a senior bills you senior rates. The visible design is fine. But the payment reconciliation and courier logic need a senior's eye. They ship half-tested and break during your first big sale, on your money. At the top is the senior who does the whole thing personally. That is the tier you want for any store that must truly run. It is the tier I sit in.
This matters in Dhaka because the hard parts of ecommerce here are local, not generic. A Western, Stripe-shaped template expects card-first checkout and one courier. Your reality is cash on delivery as the default. bKash and Nagad handle most digital payments. Five couriers each have their own API quirks and pickup zones. A buyer in Mohammadpur is on a mid-range Android over patchy 4G. She will leave if checkout makes her create an account before she sees the COD option.
Whoever builds your store must have shipped real, running stores in Bangladesh and seen these things break. If not, they find the bKash IPN bug, the silent stock drift and the COD-return mess during your festival sale. That is the most expensive time to be learning. I have built enough live stores in Bangladesh to fix those before they ever reach you.

Here are the questions Dhaka shop owners ask me before they commit to the 50% advance, answered straight.
It starts at 50,000 BDT for a single-category WooCommerce store with bKash and cash on delivery. That covers about 30 products and a properly built backend. The 90,000 BDT tier adds Nagad, customer accounts, multiple categories and the Pathao courier API. 1,50,000 BDT covers larger catalogues with abandoned-cart automation and a custom dashboard. Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. It is always 50% advance and 50% on launch. You pay hosting and domain separately to the provider, in your name.
The design is the visible 20 percent. The real work is the system underneath. A bKash confirmation should mark an order Paid on its own. Products should hide when stock hits zero. Stock should correct itself when a cash-on-delivery order is refused. A Pathao pickup should come with a tracking ID. A web designer adds a buy button. Ecommerce development builds the machine that runs your shop. That machine keeps your margin from leaking, and it is what I build.
I do full integration with your real merchant accounts. I test it with actual taka payments on staging before launch. No bKash gateway merchant account yet? I help with the paperwork: trade licence, NID, bank account and product list. Then I set up the IPN and callback URLs. We go live only after we both confirm money lands in the right account. If you only qualify for bKash Personal Retail now, I add that cleanly. Later I swap it for Merchant or a full gateway without rebuilding checkout.
A 50,000 BDT store with about 30 products takes 3 to 4 weeks. The clock starts once the advance clears and you send product data, brand assets and bKash details. Week 1 is design mockups and your approval. Week 2 is the build. Week 3 is payment, courier and product setup. Week 4 is testing on real devices and your training. The 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tiers take 5 to 7 weeks. Custom builds get a written timeline. I don't chase fake 7-day launches.
Holding up under festival load is a build target, not luck. The store ships with proper caching and WebP image compression. Checkout is cut down to the fields that actually produce an order. There is no auto-play hero video eating bandwidth. I test the product and checkout flow on a real mid-range Android over Banglalink 4G. That is the device most of your Eid or Pohela Boishakh traffic uses. With a solid backend, the store holds up the week it finally matters.
Yes, that is the design goal. Adding a product, editing a price, marking an order dispatched or downloading a sales report takes 30 seconds with no code. At launch, I hand you a short video walkthrough in Bangla and English. The hosting login, domain and admin login are in your name, so you own the store outright. A monthly care plan is there if you want me on standby for updates, security and backups. It is optional, not a contract you're locked into.
