A freelance Shopify expert in Dhaka you can actually talk to, face to face on video.
I am RH Fardin, a freelance Shopify expert for Dhaka brands. I build your Shopify store myself, from start to finish. That means the theme, custom Liquid, bKash and Nagad checkout, product import, Pathao and Steadfast rates and launch. No agency, no juniors, no account manager. We do the kickoff on Google Meet or WhatsApp. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch.
About 5 years building Shopify stores for Dhaka brands. One senior operator. A design-approval guarantee before the final balance.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

You probably already have a Dhaka showroom and an Instagram shop with decent DM sales. You also have a growing problem. Every order is a manual back and forth on WhatsApp. Your stock list lives in your head. You lose sales at 1am when nobody is there to reply. A Shopify store fixes that, and a freelance Shopify expert in Dhaka can build it for you.
The hard part in Dhaka is finding someone who will build it properly. Too many people drop a free theme on your domain. Then they disappear once the bKash payment clears.
I am a freelance Shopify expert who works with Dhaka businesses, and I run a one-person operation on purpose. Say a variant will not save, or your Pathao rate shows wrong for outside Dhaka. When you message me, you reach the same person who set up your theme. I also imported your catalog, wrote your checkout steps and set your shipping zones.
There is no ticket and no "let me ask the developer." There is no third person who never read your brief. That is the whole point of hiring a Shopify freelancer over a Banani agency. You get one accountable senior person, not four salaries baked into your quote.
Many store owners in Gulshan, Banani and Dhanmondi want to talk once before they pay a deposit. They want to walk through their products, their photos and how they pack and ship. I do that first session on Google Meet or WhatsApp video. We run the rest over WhatsApp and screen share, which is how most of the build goes anyway. You are not wiring an advance to a faceless inbox.
About five years of Shopify work, much of it for Dhaka brands, taught me how this market is different. Buyers here are mostly on mobile. They expect cash on delivery. They pay by bKash or Nagad before they trust a card. They will leave a slow store on a weak 4G signal without a second thought.
I plan and build around that reality. I price the work as a flat BDT number and take 50% advance. You do not pay the rest until the design is approved and the store is live and taking real orders.
Here are six concrete things you get from hiring one senior person who knows Dhaka buyers. You skip the agency layer and the overseas marketplace freelancer.
We meet on Google Meet or WhatsApp video to plan the store around your actual products. You pay an advance to a person you have seen and spoken to, not an anonymous inbox.
You do not wait in a marketplace queue for a stranger to reply. If your store breaks during a Friday campaign, you message me directly on WhatsApp and I handle it.
I set inside-Dhaka, outside-Dhaka and cash-on-delivery rates in Pathao, Steadfast or RedX. Checkout then charges the right amount. One flat rate for everyone quietly eats your margin.
Shopify has no built-in bKash or Nagad gateway. I set them up as manual payment methods. Each one has the exact steps, reference number and confirmation text your Dhaka buyers expect to see.
Most Dhaka traffic comes from a phone on mobile data. I keep the theme light and fast. The store loads on a weak signal instead of stalling and losing the sale.
Stores start at 50,000 BDT. Most catalog stores land at 90,000 BDT. Complex or B2B stores cost 1,50,000 BDT, and full custom starts at 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% advance and 50% on launch.
Most Shopify owners in Dhaka choose between three options, and each one has a hidden cost. A local agency in Banani or Gulshan quotes a senior price but gives you a junior. You pay for a project manager, a designer and a support agent, whether your store needs them or not. The person who sold you the project is rarely the one who builds it.
An overseas freelancer from a marketplace looks cheap at first. Then you spend weeks explaining bKash and cash on delivery to someone who has never shipped a parcel through Pathao. They do not see why your outside-Dhaka rate must differ from your inside-Dhaka rate. And a Facebook offer of "I build Shopify, 8,000 taka" usually means a pirated theme. The project gets dropped once your deposit clears.
Hiring a freelance Shopify expert who knows Dhaka solves all three problems at once. You get one accountable senior operator instead of an agency salary stack. You get direct replies on WhatsApp instead of a marketplace queue. And you get someone who already understands how this market buys and ships.
I give honest advice on scope. If your catalog is small and your needs are simple, I will say so. I will keep you at the 50,000 BDT tier instead of selling you features you will never use. The price is a flat BDT figure. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. There is a design-approval checkpoint before the final balance is ever due.

Yes. We do the kickoff face to face on Google Meet or WhatsApp video. Have your products and photos ready, plus a rough idea of how you pack and ship. After that first call, most of the build runs over WhatsApp and screen share. You will have met the person you are paying. That matters when you are sending a 50% advance.
Two reasons that cost you real money. First, access. With a marketplace freelancer, a checkout bug during a Friday night campaign can sit broken while you wait for a reply. You message me directly on WhatsApp. Second, local context. I already understand bKash, Nagad, cash on delivery and why your inside-Dhaka and outside-Dhaka courier rates must differ. You will not spend half the project explaining how Bangladesh actually buys.
An agency assigns a project manager, a designer, a junior developer and a support agent. Your quote pays all four. I am one senior person who does all of it. The person who plans your store is the person who builds, themes and launches it. I am also the person you message when something breaks. No sales call, no handoff, no chain of managers.
Yes, that is a core part of the setup. I set up shipping zones so inside-Dhaka, outside-Dhaka and free-delivery limits charge correctly. I connect your courier, whether that is Pathao, Steadfast or RedX. I set cash on delivery as a clear option, since most Dhaka buyers still pick it first. I also add the bKash and Nagad steps so advance-payment orders are clear.
If your DMs are full and you lose orders overnight or sell the same stock twice, yes. Shopify gives you one place for stock, pricing, payment and shipping. It still connects to your Facebook and Instagram shops, so you keep that audience. I set up the Meta pixel and product catalog sync so your current ads keep working. The heavy lifting moves off your phone and onto a store that takes orders 24/7.
