Real numbers, no escalator clauses
How ecommerce pricing actually works in Bangladesh
Most BD store owners asking "koto taka?" have been quoted three wildly different prices in one week — 15,000 BDT from a college student on Fiverr, 1,20,000 BDT from a mid-sized agency, and "5 lakh+" from a corporate vendor who hasn't returned your call. None of those numbers come with a clear scope. None of them tell you what happens when your bKash callback breaks at 11pm on a Friday.
I price ecommerce projects the way I'd want to be priced if I were the buyer — by what's actually inside the box. A starter ecommerce site for around 50,000 BDT covers up to roughly 50 SKUs, one payment gateway (bKash, Nagad or SSLCOMMERZ), Pathao or Steadfast integration, and a clean mobile-first design. A 90,000 BDT mid-tier project covers a larger catalog, full multi-gateway checkout, customer accounts, inventory tracking, and order-status SMS. The 1,50,000 BDT tier is for sellers running real volume — variant products, COD reconciliation, returns workflow, abandoned-cart recovery, and analytics that actually help you decide what to restock.
Anything more custom — marketplace, multi-vendor, ERP sync, subscription billing, custom delivery zones — starts at 3,00,000 BDT because that's the floor where I can build it properly without cutting corners I'll regret in six months. Payment is split 50% advance, 50% on launch. No retainer creep, no "monthly maintenance" required unless you actually want it.
What you won't see in my quote: per-page fees, page-builder bloat charges, theme licensing add-ons, or a "SEO premium" tacked on at the end. The structured data, sitemap, Open Graph, page-speed budget and mobile lighthouse score are part of doing the job right — they shouldn't be line items.
