A freelance Shopify expert for Rajshahi sellers who answers his own phone when something breaks.
I am RH Fardin. I build Shopify stores for Rajshahi sellers as one person, start to finish — theme, bKash and Nagad checkout, cash-on-delivery, courier address fields for shipping out of the city, products loaded and a phone-friendly admin you can run yourself. No agency, no junior practising on your shop, no project manager reading your own brief back to you. When you message me about a variant not saving the night before a sale, you reach the same person who built the store, not a ticket. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% to start and 50% on launch, and nothing goes into development until you have approved the design.
~5 years building stores, one senior operator from kickoff to launch, design-approval guarantee before the final 50% — reachable on WhatsApp, not a queue.

Rajshahi is a small enough market that reputation travels fast. The silk seller off Saheb Bazar, the agro brand shipping mango and date-palm products in season, the coaching centre owner whose cousin runs a clothing page — word gets around about who delivered and who took the advance and went quiet. That is the real risk when you hire a freelance Shopify expert here: not that the work is impossible, but that the wrong hire disappears, and in a city this tightly networked you both feel it. So I run a one-person operation on purpose and stake my name on every store, because in Rajshahi my next job comes from the last seller I did right.
Most people searching for a Shopify freelancer in Rajshahi are choosing between three bad options and do not realise it. Option one is a Dhaka agency that takes the job, treats Rajshahi as a remote afterthought, assigns a junior, and bakes four salaries into a quote you do not need. Option two is a marketplace freelancer abroad who is cheap until you spend half the project explaining bKash, cash-on-delivery, and why a parcel leaving Rajshahi is not the same as one leaving Dhaka.
Option three is the 'I build Shopify, 10,000 taka' Facebook post that means a nulled theme and a dead project once your deposit clears. I am the fourth option: one senior person, here, accountable, who ships in this market.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer with around five years building the kind of online stores small-to-mid sellers actually run. With me there is no handoff. The person who scopes your store on the first WhatsApp call is the person who designs the theme, wires the checkout, loads your products, tests it on a real mid-range phone, and picks up when something needs fixing six weeks later. That is the whole point of hiring a freelancer instead of an agency layer — one accountable senior operator, not a salary stack and a sales rep who vanishes after the contract is signed.
Pricing is a flat BDT number, never a vague 'depends, let us discuss' that creeps up later. Stores start at 50,000 BDT for a real, launched Shopify store; tiers run 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT as your product range, payment setup and automation grow; a fully custom build starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are the same for everyone: 50% advance to begin, 50% on launch, and a design-approval guarantee — I do not touch development until you have signed off on the theme.
One thing I separate clearly from the first call: my fee is the build; Shopify's own monthly subscription is billed in US dollars to your card, and I show you that real number before you commit so it is never a surprise.
Six concrete things you get from hiring one accountable senior person who works in this market — not an agency layer, not a stranger on a marketplace.
The person who scopes, designs and builds the store is the person you message when it breaks. In a market as connected as Rajshahi, that accountability is the whole deal — no ticket queue, no handoff, no 'let me check with the developer.'
Shopify has no native bKash gateway, so I wire it the working way: a manual method with your number and order-ID reference, or a third-party gateway once your volume justifies the fee. Your buyer pays how they actually pay instead of leaving at a card field.
A Rajshahi seller ships outward to Dhaka, Sylhet and beyond, not across town. Checkout collects clean division, district and thana fields and orders export in a shape Pathao, Steadfast and RedX accept for a parcel originating in Rajshahi.
Whether it is silk and sarees, seasonal mango and agro goods, or supplies for the city's student market, I build the theme around your product — true-colour close-ups for cloth, clean date-and-variant logic for seasonal stock, fast browse for volume sellers.
Most of your buyers browse on a mid-range Android over a Rajshahi mobile signal that drops. I keep the theme lean and images compressed so the store opens in seconds and does not lose the sale before the product even loads.
Stores start at 50,000 BDT, most catalog stores land at 90,000 BDT, complex or automation-heavy at 1,50,000 BDT, fully custom from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch — a number, not a 'koto taka, depends' runaround.
The word freelancer scares a lot of Rajshahi sellers, and fairly — most have heard the story of a deposit paid, a half-built store, and a number that stopped answering. That fear usually pushes people toward a Dhaka agency, on the assumption that a company is safer. It is not, necessarily.
An agency gives you a contract and a logo, then assigns the actual work to whoever is free, treats a Rajshahi client as a low-priority remote account, and the senior who impressed you in the sales call never opens your store again. You are not buying accountability; you are buying the appearance of it. What you actually want is a single senior person who will still be reachable in six months because their reputation in this city depends on it.
That is how I work, and the structure backs it up rather than just my word. The design-approval guarantee means I do not move into development — or ask for a single taka beyond the advance toward the build — until you have approved the theme, so you are never paying for work you have not seen. The 50% on launch means I do not get the rest until the store is live and taking real orders, which keeps my incentive pointed at finishing, not at collecting and disappearing.
And because I build the whole thing personally, the handover is real: a short, plain-language walkthrough so your team adds products, edits prices and marks orders shipped from a phone, instead of paying me for every small change. In a city where the next client is usually a referral from the last one, vanishing after launch would cost me far more than it would ever save. That alignment is the quiet reason a Rajshahi freelancer can be the safest hire on the list.

Shuru hoy 50,000 BDT theke for a real, launched Shopify store — your theme, bKash and Nagad set up the working way, cash-on-delivery, courier-ready address fields for shipping out of Rajshahi, products loaded and a phone-friendly admin. Common tiers are 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT depending on product range, payment setup and automation; fully custom is from 3,00,000 BDT. Terms: 50% advance, 50% on launch. Separate from my fee, Shopify bills its own monthly subscription in US dollars to your card — I show you that real number before you commit.
A fair fear, and the structure answers it. I do not start development until you approve the design, so the advance only buys work you have seen. The remaining 50% is due on launch, when the store is live and taking real orders — so I have no incentive to collect and vanish, because I do not get paid until you have a working store. And in a market as connected as Rajshahi, my next client is almost always a referral from the last one; disappearing would end that faster than any contract could. Accountability is the entire reason to hire one named person over an anonymous team.
Because an agency bakes a project manager, a designer, a junior developer and a support agent into your quote, and a Rajshahi client is often a low-priority remote account assigned to whoever is free. The senior who sold you the project rarely builds it. I am one senior person who scopes, designs, builds, tests and launches it himself, and the same person you reach when it breaks. You pay for the work, not for four salaries and a sales call — and you are not the agency's afterthought.
It runs comfortably over WhatsApp and screen share — kickoff, design approval, revisions, the lot — which is how most of the build goes regardless of city. You do not need to take time out of your shop to sit in a meeting. What matters is that you are dealing with one accountable person the whole way, not handing an advance to a faceless agency inbox or a marketplace stranger 12 hours out of sync. You always know exactly who built your store and who to call.
That is exactly the buyer Shopify suits — someone in Dhaka who never walked into your shop and decides on the photos. I build a theme that sells cloth: proper close-up images, true colour, weave and length written out, clean colour-and-size variants, and a checkout a Dhaka buyer can finish on a phone in under a minute with bKash. The address form and order export are built for a sender in Rajshahi, so a Dhaka or Sylhet order is ready to hand to your courier without retyping. It also looks polished enough that an export buyer in the Gulf or UK takes you seriously.
Three to four weeks for the 50,000 BDT tier from the day the advance clears, assuming you send product photos, prices and descriptions in the first week. Week one is theme design, week two your approval and revisions, week three the build, bKash and Nagad setup, courier rates and product loading, then real-device testing and launch. I build it personally start to finish — no junior takes over after kickoff, and you reach me directly on WhatsApp, not a ticket queue. That single-operator model is why the price stays honest and the quality holds.
