Nearly every Sylhet seller opens with the same line: online shop banate koto taka? Here is the straight answer, no runaround. Fixed development tiers from 50,000 BDT, exactly what each one builds, and what genuinely moves the number once you are paying for engineering — a checkout that reconciles bKash and Nagad, a COD flow that does not lie about who paid, and courier handoff that survives an order to a village an hour past Beanibazar. I am RH Fardin, one senior solo developer who writes the whole store himself, no juniors. 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Floor of 50,000 BDT, custom from 3,00,000. Fixed tiers, no hidden line items. One senior operator, ~5 years writing Bangladeshi ecommerce builds. Full design approved before any code, bKash and Nagad planned in from day one.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Here is the trap most Sylhet sellers fall into: the thing that looks finished and the thing that actually works are priced a world apart, and you cannot tell them apart from a screenshot. A boy off the Zindabazar point quotes 10,000 taka and shows you a slider, a product grid and a cart button. A Dhaka agency, once they hear orders and money flow in from family in the UK, quietly floats two and a half lakh for what is often the same template wearing a retainer. Neither is quoting the work. The development price — the real ecommerce website development price in Sylhet — is not for the homepage you see; it is for the plumbing you do not: the code that matches a bKash payment to the right order, the logic that only marks a parcel paid when the rider actually hands it over, the courier export that does not make your staff retype every address by hand. That invisible engineering is the whole job, and this page tells you exactly what it costs and why.
What makes a Sylhet store its own build — and drives most of the number — is who pays at checkout, because in no other Bangladeshi market is so much of your money coming from someone who is not standing in Sylhet at all. The probashi families abroad are a real, paying customer base: a son in London ordering sweets, a panjabi or a grocery hamper delivered to his parents in Shibganj; a daughter in New York paying for an Eid gift to land at a relative's door in Beanibazar; families in the Gulf settling the bill for a cake or a saree they will never hold. That single fact changes what has to be built. The store has to take a foreign card from a UK or US billing address as cleanly as it takes bKash from a local phone, and the code has to split who pays from where it ships so a London billing address and a Shibganj delivery address do not confuse the order. Writing that path correctly — testing it with a real overseas card, not assuming it works — is engineering hours a local-only store never spends, and the tiers exist so the price maps to that work instead of being invented when they hear your accent.
The other half of the build is delivery, and in Sylhet that is not a Dhaka delivery problem. A real share of your customers are out in Beanibazar, Golapganj, Jagannathpur, Bishwanath, Companiganj — so the courier integration, the COD flow and the shipping rules have to handle the upazila, not just the four blocks around Bandar Bazar. Properly built, that means Pathao, Steadfast or RedX wired in so orders export clean instead of being copied by hand, a cash-on-delivery flow that flips an order to paid only on the rider's confirmation (so your books are not full of orders that say paid and never were), and zone-aware shipping so a delivery to Sylhet town and one to a village an hour out are not charged the same by accident and quietly eating your margin. None of that shows in a demo reel. All of it is what the 10,000-taka build skips — which is exactly why those stores drop orders silently and the owner is back looking for someone like me within a few months.
When you hire me, the person quoting the price is the person who writes the checkout, wires bKash and Nagad, connects the courier and ships it. There is no salesman who lowballs to win you and then a junior you never meet who breaks the payment matching, and no Dhaka agency overhead — a tower office, account managers, a margin on every hour — baked quietly into your figure. That is the real reason my ecommerce website development price in Sylhet undercuts a Dhaka agency for comparable work: you pay one senior operator with around five years of writing Bangladeshi online stores, not a building full of people. And the number holds. 50,000 BDT for a focused store that genuinely takes the money and ships the order. 90,000 BDT for the build most growing Sylhet shops land on. 1,50,000 BDT for a bigger catalogue with more payment and courier muscle and a diaspora-ready checkout. From 3,00,000 BDT when the brief is genuinely custom. Always 50% advance to start and 50% on launch, and you approve the full design before I write a single line of code — no "final" invoice that lands bigger than the quote, and no surprise charge on launch day for something that was always in scope.
Six things that make the number make sense for a Sylhet shop tired of vague "depends, bhai" online-store quotes — every one engineered in from the 50,000 BDT floor, not an upsell hidden in a bigger package.
50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT are on the table from the first WhatsApp message, custom from 3,00,000. You pick the scope your store needs and pay that — not a figure set by how much of your money comes from family abroad.
bKash and Nagad are wired to match a payment against its order reference, not left as a number to verify by hand. Where your buyers are probashi, a gateway that takes a foreign card cleanly is built in so a London order does not die at checkout.
The cash-on-delivery flow flips an order to paid only when the rider confirms handover — so your dashboard is not full of orders that claim paid and never were. Built for upazila buyers in Golapganj and Beanibazar, not just Sylhet town.
Pathao, Steadfast or RedX connected so orders export clean and your staff stop copying every address by hand. Zone-aware shipping prices a parcel to Sylhet town and one an hour out correctly, instead of one flat fee eating your margin.
Most of your orders land on a mid-range Android over mobile data, in the city or out in the upazila. The store is built light so the catalogue loads and the checkout does not break when the buyer hits back on a weak signal.
The person on your first message writes the checkout code and answers when it breaks. No salesman-to-junior handoff that quietly breaks bKash matching, and no agency margin sitting hidden inside the figure you were quoted.
When a Sylhet seller asks koto taka, what they actually want is to compare two quotes honestly, so let me put the tiers on the table by what gets built. At 50,000 BDT you get a focused, properly engineered store: a clean mobile-first catalogue of up to roughly 50 products, one payment gateway live so bKash or Nagad genuinely closes the order, one courier wired with a real cash-on-delivery flow that marks paid only on handover, and an admin panel your own staff can run in Bangla mixed with English without calling me every week. That suits a Sylhet shop selling mostly to local and nearby-upazila customers that needs the basics to truly work — a clothing or panjabi seller, a sweets or grocery shop, a single-brand store finally moving off Facebook-comment ordering. At 90,000 BDT, where most growing Sylhet stores land, the build carries more weight: a bigger catalogue with proper categories and search, product variants for size and colour, bKash plus Nagad from day one with payment matching on both, a second courier option, and the early SEO groundwork so you surface for "your product + Sylhet" instead of staying invisible behind the Dhaka results and paying Facebook ads forever just to be seen.
The 1,50,000 BDT tier is where the build starts pulling real weight: a heavier catalogue with advanced filters, bundle or combo pricing, multiple payment methods including a gateway that takes a foreign card so your probashi customers in the UK, US and Gulf can actually pay, zone-aware shipping that prices a delivery to Sylhet town and one to Jagannathpur or Companiganj correctly, and a stronger admin so in-house staff run stock, orders and refunds without touching code. That is the tier the sweet shops and gift sellers serving the diaspora, the grocery and hamper businesses sending orders to families back home, and the larger single-brand stores around Zindabazar and Ambarkhana actually need, because a real share of their checkout traffic comes from abroad. Past that, from 3,00,000 BDT, the work is genuinely custom and built from a blank canvas — and a Sylhet ecommerce brief lands there for honest reasons: marketplace logic with multiple vendors, a subscription or recurring-order flow for a grocery service, multi-currency with live diaspora-facing pricing, deep inventory across more than one warehouse, or a store that has to behave like a small ERP. Note what is deliberately NOT on this ladder: the 8,000-to-10,000-taka "ecommerce website" sold on Facebook. That is a nulled theme, a cart that silently fails on bKash, no real courier setup, and a page that crawls on the exact mobile data your buyers use in Bandar Bazar traffic. The floor is 50,000 BDT because that is honestly the least it costs to build an online store that takes the money and ships the order in this city.

Building an online store starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused, properly working shop — a mobile-first catalogue of up to roughly 50 products, one payment gateway so bKash or Nagad actually closes the order, one courier with a cash-on-delivery flow that marks paid only on handover, and an admin your staff can run. 90,000 BDT is the build most growing Sylhet stores choose, with a bigger catalogue, variants, bKash plus Nagad, a second courier and early SEO. 1,50,000 BDT covers a heavier catalogue, advanced filters, a foreign-card gateway for probashi buyers and zone-aware upazila shipping. Genuinely custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is always 50% advance and 50% on launch, and you see the tier and exactly what it includes before you commit a single taka.
Because you are paying for a built store, not a demo of one. The 8,000-taka version is almost always a nulled theme with no real payment integration, a cart that silently breaks the moment a customer tries bKash, no courier setup, and a page that loads in 8 to 9 seconds on local mobile data — so the order never completes and you never even know. At 50,000 BDT the engineering is the product: bKash actually closes the sale and the payment matches the order, the admin edits products without calling me, and Pathao or Steadfast is wired in with a working cash-on-delivery flow. The cheap one quietly costs you the orders it drops; this one is built to take the money and ship the parcel. That gap is the entire point of the price, and the rate for ecommerce website development Sylhet BD shop owners pay me is the same senior-built rate every client pays, with no Dhaka agency overhead on top.
The checkout, almost every time, and that surprises sellers who assume they are paying for how the store looks. Making a catalogue look good is the cheap, visible part. The hours go into the parts no demo shows: wiring bKash and Nagad so a payment matches the right order instead of being verified by hand at midnight, building a cash-on-delivery flow that only marks an order paid when the rider confirms it, connecting Pathao or Steadfast so orders export clean, and — for a Sylhet store — getting a foreign-card path right so a relative abroad can actually pay. That plumbing is most of what separates a 50,000 BDT store that works from a 10,000-taka one that drops orders. When I quote you, you are paying for that engineering, not for a slider.
Yes, and it is one of the most important things to get right for a Sylhet store. When a son in London or a daughter in New York pays for a delivery to family back home, bKash alone will not do it — the checkout has to accept a foreign card from an overseas billing address cleanly, and the code has to separate who pays from where it ships so the order is not confused. That build usually points you to the 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT tier, where I wire in a gateway that handles international cards alongside bKash and Nagad and test it with a real overseas card before launch. You are not paying more because your customers are abroad; you are paying for the extra checkout engineering that stops those diaspora orders from failing at the last step.
Yes, and it is engineered in, not bolted on. Plenty of Sylhet stores sell well beyond the city — Beanibazar, Golapganj, Jagannathpur, Bishwanath, Companiganj — so I wire in Pathao, Steadfast or RedX so orders export instead of being retyped, build a cash-on-delivery flow that marks the order paid only once the rider hands it over, and configure zone-aware shipping so a delivery to Sylhet town and one to a village an hour out are not priced the same by accident. The 50,000 BDT tier covers one courier and a working COD flow; the 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers add a second courier and proper zone-based shipping rules for wider upazila coverage.
No — it is 50% advance to start and 50% on launch, never the full amount upfront, and there are no hidden design or development fees on top of the fixed quote. The advance secures your slot and covers the design phase; you pay the balance only once the store is built, approved and ready to go live on your own domain. The only things you pay separately are your own domain, your own hosting, your payment gateway's own transaction fees to bKash, Nagad or the card processor, and any premium plugin licence you choose — and I tell you those numbers upfront. You can pay by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer; if the family member funding it is abroad, a normal bank transfer works fine, no foreign card or escrow platform needed. Because you sign off the full design before I write any code, you never pay that second half for a store you have not already seen and approved.
