Ecommerce website development in Dhaka is not building a website with a buy button. It is building the system that runs your shop — stock, payments, couriers, returns — and that is the part most builds quietly skip.
I am RH Fardin, a senior website designer and developer in Bangladesh. I personally architect, design, build and ship every store — 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, 50% advance and 50% on launch, with a design-approval guarantee before any code is written.

Here is the misunderstanding that costs Dhaka shop owners the most money. They think ecommerce development 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 takes a paid bKash order for a product you sold out of yesterday, fails to flip that order to Paid in your panel, generates no Pathao pickup, and you find out three days later when an angry buyer in Banani messages your Facebook page. Ecommerce website development in Dhaka is, at its core, building the operational system that prevents that — the design is the easy 20 percent on top.
So when I scope a store, most of the conversation is about the parts customers never see. How does a bKash payment confirmation actually mark the order Paid instead of leaving you to match screenshots by hand at midnight? When stock hits zero, does the product hide itself or keep selling? When a cash-on-delivery order gets refused at the door in Mirpur — and roughly a fifth of them will — does your inventory count correct itself, or silently drift until your numbers are fiction? Does the Steadfast pickup get a tracking ID that lands in the buyer's SMS, or does someone on your team copy-paste addresses into a spreadsheet every night? Those decisions are the actual job.
I work alone and on purpose. The person who reads your product list over tea in Gulshan or Uttara is the same person writing the checkout code and the same person 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 cannot run forty stores at once like a Banani agency, and I do not want to. You get one senior who understands your shop end to end, instead of a project manager relaying 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 — bKash, cash-on-delivery, around 30 products, the operational backend done properly. The 90,000 BDT tier adds Nagad, customer accounts, a multi-category catalogue and Pathao courier API. The 1,50,000 BDT tier covers larger catalogues with abandoned-cart automation and a custom admin dashboard. Fully bespoke ecommerce — marketplace, B2B portal, custom inventory sync — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Always 50 percent advance, 50 percent on launch day, and you sign off on the design before development starts.
Six things I build into every Dhaka store — the operational plumbing that decides whether you keep your margin or leak it.
bKash and Nagad wired to your real accounts so a confirmed payment flips the order to Paid automatically. No matching transaction IDs against WhatsApp screenshots at midnight.
When a SKU hits zero it hides or shows out-of-stock instead of taking a paid order you cannot fulfil. COD refusals correct the count instead of letting your inventory drift into fiction.
Pathao or Steadfast API wired in so a paid order generates a pickup and a tracking ID lands in the buyer's SMS. Your team stops copy-pasting Dhaka addresses into spreadsheets.
The store is tuned to hold up when an Eid or Pohela Boishakh campaign sends a traffic spike, not to fall over the one week it finally matters. Caching, image compression, lean checkout.
Adding a product, changing a price in taka, marking an order dispatched or pulling a sales report is a 30-second task with no code, simple enough for a staff member who barely uses email.
Hosting, domain and admin in your name, code you keep. The senior who scoped it is the senior who built it and the senior who picks up WhatsApp after launch — no handoff, no lock-in.
There is a quiet hierarchy in who builds ecommerce in Dhaka, and knowing it saves you a wasted 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. At the bottom is the 15,000 BDT Facebook "developer" who installs a nulled theme, wires in their own bKash number temporarily and vanishes — you never owned that store and cannot move it.
In the middle is the agency that takes your brief seriously in the sales meeting, then hands the actual build to a junior while a senior bills you senior rates; the visible design is fine, but the payment reconciliation and courier logic — the part that only a senior catches — gets shipped half-tested and breaks during your first big sale, on your money. Then there is the senior who does the whole thing personally.
That is the tier you want for any store that has to genuinely run, and it is the tier I sit in.
The reason this matters specifically in Dhaka is that the hard parts of ecommerce here are local, not generic. A Stripe-shaped Western template assumes card-first checkout and a single courier; your reality is cash-on-delivery as the default, bKash and Nagad doing most of the digital payments, five couriers each with their own API quirks and pickup zones, and a buyer on a mid-range Android over patchy 4G in Mohammadpur who will abandon if checkout asks her to make an account before she sees the COD option.
Whoever develops your store has to have shipped real running stores in Bangladesh and felt these break before — otherwise they discover the bKash IPN bug, the silent inventory drift and the COD-return mess during your festival sale, which is the single most expensive time to be learning. I have built enough live stores here to fix those before they ever reach you.

The questions Dhaka shop owners ask me before they commit to the 50% advance, answered straight.
Starts at 50,000 BDT for a single-category WooCommerce store with bKash and cash-on-delivery, around 30 products, with the operational backend done properly. The 90,000 BDT tier adds Nagad, customer accounts, multi-category structure and Pathao courier API. 1,50,000 BDT covers larger catalogues with abandoned-cart automation and a custom dashboard. Fully bespoke builds — marketplace, B2B, custom inventory — start from 3,00,000 BDT. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch. Hosting and domain are paid separately to the provider in your name.
The design is the visible 20 percent. The real work is the operational system underneath — making the bKash confirmation flip an order to Paid automatically, hiding products when stock hits zero, correcting inventory when a cash-on-delivery order is refused, and generating a Pathao pickup with a tracking ID. A web designer adds a buy button. Ecommerce development builds the machine that runs your shop. The second one is what keeps your margin from leaking, and it is what I build.
Full integration with your real merchant accounts, tested with actual taka transactions on staging before launch. If you do not have a bKash payment gateway merchant account yet, I help with the paperwork — trade license, NID, bank account, product list — then configure the IPN and callback URLs and only switch to live mode after we both confirm money lands in the correct account. If you only qualify for bKash Personal Retail right now, I wire that in cleanly with order-ID reference and swap it for Merchant or a full gateway later without rebuilding the checkout.
A 50,000 BDT WooCommerce store with around 30 products takes roughly 3 to 4 weeks once the advance clears and you send me your 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 wiring, week 4 is testing on real devices and your training. The 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tiers with full courier API and customer accounts run 5 to 7 weeks. Custom builds get a written timeline before you sign. I do not chase fake 7-day launches — that is how stores ship half-finished.
Holding up under festival load is a build target, not luck. The store ships with proper caching, WebP image compression, a checkout stripped to the fields that actually produce an order, and no auto-play hero video eating bandwidth. I test the product and checkout flow on a real mid-range Android over Banglalink 4G, because that is the device most of your Eid or Pohela Boishakh traffic arrives on. The whole point of building the operational backend correctly is that the week it finally matters, the store does not break.
Yes — that is the design intent. The admin is configured so adding a product, editing a price, marking an order dispatched or downloading a sales report takes 30 seconds with no code, and I hand you a short Bangla and English video walkthrough at launch. You get the hosting credentials, domain and admin login in your name, so you own the store outright. A monthly care plan is available if you want me on standby for updates, security and backups, but it is optional, not a contract you are locked into.
