A freelance ecommerce developer in Chittagong who designs, builds and ships your store himself — and is still reachable when something breaks at 11pm during your Eid sale.
If you have been burned by a freelancer who went quiet halfway through, this is the opposite. One senior operator takes the brief, draws the store, writes the WooCommerce checkout, wires in bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery, and hands you the keys in your own name. No agency markup, no Fiverr gig that gets passed to a stranger. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, design signed off before any code is written.
Solo freelancer, ~5 years building stores for Bangladeshi sellers. You hire one person and that same person ships the store — no resellers, no juniors, no disappearing act.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

The reason most Chattogram sellers are nervous about hiring a freelance ecommerce developer is not the price — it is the ghosting. You have heard the story or lived it: a freelancer off Facebook or Fiverr takes 50% upfront, sends two screenshots, then goes quiet. The replies get slower, the demo link never quite works, and three weeks later you are chasing a person who has clearly moved on to the next gig. That is the real fear behind "freelance ecommerce developer in Chittagong," and any honest answer to it has to start by naming it, not pretending it does not happen.
Here is how I work against that. I take one store at a time, so I am not juggling your build behind five others. The design goes on Figma and gets your sign-off before I touch a line of WooCommerce — that is the design-approval guarantee, and it means you see exactly what you are paying for before the money is at risk on code. Payment is structured 50% advance, 50% on launch day, so I am not paid in full until the store is live and you have logged into your own admin. A freelancer who wanted to vanish would never agree to get half the money only after the thing actually works.
Chattogram trade has its own shape and the store has to fit it. A lot of what sells here is import-side — goods that came through the port, electronics flowing off the Reazuddin Bazar supply chain, clothing and home items that an Agrabad, GEC or Khulshi reseller flips on Facebook long before they think about a website. The buyer haggles harder than in Dhaka, the first question is always koto taka, and almost everyone pays cash-on-delivery or bKash on delivery, not a card.
A freelancer who has only built brochure sites for Dhaka startups will hand you a checkout that assumes a credit card and a buyer who does not haggle. I build for the city that is actually paying you.
And I am genuinely a freelancer, not an agency in disguise. The person you message to ask koto taka is the person who draws your homepage and the person who writes your checkout — there is no junior quietly doing the build while someone senior bills for it. About five years of shipping stores for Bangladeshi sellers, including the import-and-resell crowd Chattogram runs on, is where I have learned where these stores actually leak orders.
If your budget is honestly under 50,000 BDT, I will tell you to stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up first. A freelancer chasing every taka would take the job and cut corners. I would rather you come back when the store can be done right.
Six things a focused freelance developer wires in at 50,000 BDT that the cheap Fiverr gigs skip and the Dhaka agencies bill three times over for.
You brief one person and that same person ships the store. No account manager, no junior, no telephone game — when you ask a question you get the developer who wrote the code, not a sales rep reading a status update.
50% to start, 50% only when the store is live and you are inside your own admin. A freelancer who planned to ghost you would never wait for the second half until after it works.
Personal-merchant flow with order-reference matching, so you stop digging through WhatsApp for payment screenshots at midnight. Transaction IDs line up against orders in your own dashboard.
Cash-on-delivery is still how most Chattogram buyers pay, so the order form is built COD-first with Pathao or Steadfast pickup and per-area delivery rates inside the city and out.
If you flip imported or port-side stock, the catalogue handles fast SKU swaps and price edits from your phone. When the supplier price moves you change it yourself — no support ticket, no per-edit charge.
Hosting, domain and the WooCommerce admin are registered to you, handed over at launch. If we ever part ways you keep the store outright — no freelancer holding your login hostage.
Most Chattogram sellers weigh three options and only see the sticker price on each. A Fiverr or Upwork gig looks cheapest, until you realise the 8,000-taka "ecommerce store" is a nulled theme on hosting someone else controls, with a temporary bKash number that is not even yours — and the moment your Eid traffic spikes, the seller is asleep in another timezone and the store is down with no one to call.
A full agency, Dhaka or local, looks safest, until you learn that a junior you never meet does the actual build, the senior whose portfolio sold you only checks in occasionally, and you pay for an account manager, an office and a margin on top of the work. The store you get for 3 lakh from them is often the same store a focused freelancer ships for a fraction of it.
The freelancer that makes sense is the one who removes the downside of both. I am the senior who shows up in the portfolio AND the person who writes your checkout — there is no junior in the middle and no agency overhead on the bill. Because I am in Bangladesh and build for Chattogram specifically, when your store hiccups during a Friday-night sale you reach the one person who has ever touched the code, not a queue and not someone asleep overseas.
The protections are deliberate: design approved on Figma before any code, the design-approval guarantee if it does not match what we agreed, 50% advance and 50% only on launch so I am not paid in full until it works, and a clean handover so the store is yours from day one. Price is locked at 50,000 BDT for a focused store, with no retainer trap and no monthly "package" that is really just a bill for nothing.
That is the freelancer position done honestly — agency reliability without the agency invoice, freelancer pricing without the freelancer disappearing act.

The questions Chattogram sellers actually ask before they hire a freelancer and send the 50% advance. Straight answers, no sales script.
Hiring me as a freelance ecommerce developer in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT for a single-vendor WooCommerce store with bKash, Nagad and COD live, up to 30 products loaded by me, courier CSV exports and a self-manage admin. The next tier is 90,000 BDT (up to 150 products, filters, abandoned-cart recovery). A larger mid-size store with a custom theme and Pathao API is 1,50,000 BDT. Anything fully custom — multi-vendor, ERP sync, bespoke checkout logic — starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Hosting and domain are paid separately to the provider in your own name. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch.
Two structural things, not promises. First, you pay 50% to start and 50% only when the store is live and you are logged into your own admin — a freelancer planning to vanish would never wait for the second half. Second, I take one store at a time and approve the full design with you on Figma before writing any code, so you can see the work is real before more money is at risk. You also reach me directly the whole way through, not a gig inbox that goes quiet after the order is placed.
Because the cheap overseas gig usually hands you a nulled theme on hosting they control, with a temporary bKash number that is not yours, and a developer asleep in another timezone when your Eid sale crashes. I build for Chattogram specifically — bKash, Nagad and COD wired the way your buyers actually pay, courier handoff to Pathao or Steadfast, and a clean handover into your own name. And when something breaks on a Friday night, you reach the one person who wrote the code, same working hours as you, not a ticket in a queue.
It depends on what you are actually buying. With an agency you pay for an account manager, an office and a margin, and a junior you never meet usually does the build. With me you get the senior from the portfolio doing the actual work, no overhead on the bill, and one point of contact from quote to launch. For most Chattogram sellers under a mid-size catalogue, a focused freelancer ships the same store for far less than the 3 lakh an agency quotes. If you genuinely need a large team building multi-vendor with ongoing 24/7 support, an agency may fit better — I will tell you that honestly.
No office visit and no office, really — I am a solo developer who works with sellers across Bangladesh, plenty of them in Chattogram, over phone and video calls. We talk about how your buyers actually order — most message first, ask koto taka, then pay COD or bKash on delivery — and I build the checkout around that. You see and sign off the design on Figma before any code, and after launch you reach me directly when you need a change, not a support queue. You are hiring one person, so there is never a hand-off to someone you have never spoken to.
No — that is the whole point of a clean handover. Hosting, domain and the WooCommerce admin go in your name, and at launch I walk you through editing products, prices and orders yourself, so day-to-day SKU swaps and price changes for your port-side stock are on your phone, not a paid ticket. If you want me on call for bigger changes I am there, but you are never locked in. The store is genuinely yours, and any competent developer can pick it up later because it is a standard WooCommerce build, not some custom black box only I understand.
