What an ecommerce site actually costs in Gulshan — no jargon, no inflated quotes.
Most Gulshan boutiques, salons and concept stores get quoted 4-7 lakh BDT for a shop they could ship for 90,000. I price ecommerce work the same way I build it: line by line, with a fixed scope, so you know exactly what you are paying for before any code runs.
Starts at 50,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Design approval before development.

Walk into any Gulshan Avenue cafe and ask three shop owners what they paid for their ecommerce site. You will hear 60,000 BDT, 2,80,000 BDT and 6,50,000 BDT — for stores that, on the surface, look identical. The difference is rarely the design. It is who actually touched the code, how many people sat between you and the developer, and whether the quote included things every Bangladesh store needs (bKash, Nagad, Pathao/Steadfast courier, COD logic) or quietly listed them as 'phase two'.
I am RH Fardin. I design and write every line on every ecommerce build I take on — no juniors, no white-label outsourcing to a shop in Mirpur, no project manager forwarding your WhatsApp messages. That single fact removes the biggest hidden cost in Gulshan ecommerce pricing: the agency stack. When you pay 4 lakh, roughly 1.5 lakh is the developer, the rest is overhead, sales commission and 'account management'. You are buying the same store, twice.
On the build side, after about five years shipping commercial sites across Dhaka, I have a pretty firm map of what each scope actually takes. A 30-product boutique store with bKash, Nagad and one courier integration is a 90,000 BDT job. A multi-vendor concept with subscription boxes and Pathao Fulfillment API is a 3,00,000+ BDT custom job. Anything in between, I will quote against that map — not against what your Gulshan address makes you look like you can afford.
What this page does is show you, plainly, what drives ecommerce price up or down in Gulshan, what each of my three tiers gets you, and what the honest custom-build floor looks like. If a quote you already have does not match what is here, message me on WhatsApp and I will tell you which line items are likely padding and which are real.
Six things that decide whether your Gulshan ecommerce site costs 50,000 or 5,00,000 BDT — and why the cheap end is not always the wrong end.
A 20-SKU lawn boutique on Road 11 needs nothing like the catalog logic of a 2,000-SKU electronics import store. I price the first at 50,000-90,000 BDT, the second starts at 1,50,000 BDT — same builder, same care, different load.
bKash and Nagad merchant integration is included from the 90,000 BDT tier upward. SSLCommerz, AamarPay or international cards add real engineering time, so they belong in custom scope from 3,00,000 BDT.
Pathao, Steadfast, RedX or eCourier API hookups, automated waybill creation, and cash-on-delivery flow with risk rules — this is half a day of work done right, two weeks done wrong. I do it right, once, at quote time.
A clean customized theme keeps you at 50,000-1,50,000 BDT. A fully designed-from-scratch storefront for a Gulshan brand that cannot share a look with anyone else starts at 3,00,000 BDT — and it should.
Most Gulshan owners run the store themselves from a phone. I build a clean admin so your warehouse staff or shop manager can fulfil orders, refund via bKash, and pull daily sales without calling me.
Fast load on a Banani-to-Bashundhara mobile network and proper product schema are baked into every tier. You are not paying extra to rank or to not lose a customer to a 6-second load — that is the floor.
Starter — 50,000 BDT. Up to 15 products, one customized theme, bKash or Nagad personal merchant link, manual courier (you handle waybills yourself), Bangla and English content, mobile-first, basic on-page SEO and a simple order admin. This is the right tier for a Gulshan home-based brand testing a product line, a salon selling 8 services, or a boutique starting on Instagram and ready for a real domain. Launch in 7-12 working days.
Standard — 90,000 BDT. Up to 60 products, proper category and filter pages, bKash and Nagad merchant integration with auto-confirmation, one courier API (Pathao or Steadfast), COD with order-verification flow, abandoned-cart recovery setup, blog for SEO and a trained admin. This is what most Gulshan boutiques, kitchenware brands and concept stores should actually be buying. Pro — 1,50,000 BDT — adds multi-courier, advanced filters, customer accounts, coupons, wishlist, GA4 + Meta Pixel + conversion API, and proper schema. Custom from 3,00,000 BDT covers multi-vendor, subscription, ERP/POS sync (Tally, Daraz, Foodpanda) and bespoke design — quoted only after a real scoping call, never blind. Every tier: 50% advance, 50% on launch, written scope, design approval before code, no surprise bills.

What Gulshan shop owners ask me before signing — including the koto taka questions.
50,000 BDT is the real floor for a working ecommerce site with bKash or Nagad, up to 15 products and a mobile-friendly storefront. Most Gulshan boutiques land at 90,000 BDT once you add a courier API and 60-product catalog. Anything below 40,000 BDT in this city is almost always a template flip with hidden 'extra' bills coming later.
Three reasons. One: they price by your address, not your scope. Two: their cost stack includes a sales team, a project manager and 2-3 layers of developers. Three: they bundle things you may not need yet — multi-warehouse, ERP sync, native mobile app. I quote only what your store actually requires in the next 12 months. If you have a 4-lakh quote, send it on WhatsApp and I will mark up the padding lines.
It includes a working bKash or Nagad personal merchant link with order tracking — fine for stores doing under ~30 orders a day. Full bKash and Nagad merchant API with auto-confirmation comes at the 90,000 BDT Standard tier. International cards via SSLCommerz or AamarPay sit in the custom tier from 3,00,000 BDT because of the KYC, settlement and PCI work involved.
One courier API (your choice — Pathao, Steadfast, RedX or eCourier) is included in the 90,000 BDT Standard tier. Multi-courier with automatic best-rate selection, return management and bulk waybill generation is part of the 1,50,000 BDT Pro tier. The Starter at 50,000 BDT uses manual waybills — fine if you are doing under 10 orders a day from your Gulshan home office.
50% advance on signed scope, 50% on launch — for every tier, no exceptions, no monthly retainer pressure. I work remotely from Bangladesh but for Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara clients I am happy to do a one-time scoping meeting at a cafe on Road 11 or Gulshan 1 circle. Day-to-day, everything runs on WhatsApp, Google Meet and a shared Figma, which is faster than dragging into an agency office.
The SEO foundation is included in every tier: clean URLs, product schema, category-level metadata, fast mobile load, Bangla + English content support, and Google Search Console + GA4 setup. Ranking for competitive Gulshan local terms is a separate, ongoing job — content + backlinks — and I am a working SEO consultant, so if you want that handled afterwards it stays with the same person who built the site. No handoff, no finger-pointing.
