Hire one senior ecommerce developer for your Chittagong store - the same person who scopes it, designs it, wires bKash, Nagad and COD, sets up the courier, and ships it live.
In Chattogram your real choices are usually a Facebook "developer" who vanishes after the advance, or a salaried junior you have to manage yourself. Hiring me is neither. You brief one operator, that operator builds the whole store, and you reach that same person after launch — not a ticket queue in Dhaka. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, design signed off before any code.
One senior operator, ~5 years building stores for Bangladeshi sellers — including the import-and-resell trade Chattogram runs on. bKash, Nagad, COD, Pathao, Steadfast and RedX all integrated before. Design-approval guarantee: development does not start until you sign off the visual.

Here is the quiet problem nobody in Chattogram says out loud: the city makes good ecommerce developers and then loses them to Dhaka. The senior person who could build your store properly took a salaried job in Banani two years ago. What is left advertising in the local Facebook groups is mostly the junior tier — the boy who installs a nulled WooCommerce theme for 18,000 BDT, wires his own bKash number in temporarily, and stops replying the week after he is paid. So a serious Chattogram seller ends up choosing between cheap-and-disappears or hiring a full-time dev on salary for a single store, which never pencils out. That gap is exactly what hiring me is for.
I am RH Fardin, and I work as one operator — no agency, no bench, no juniors quietly doing the build while a senior bills for it. Around five years of full-time work on WooCommerce and Shopify storefronts for Bangladeshi sellers, a good share of them the import-and-resell crowd Chattogram is built on: traders moving goods that came through the port, electronics off the Reazuddin Bazar supply chain, clothing and home stock that a Khulshi or Nasirabad reseller flips on Facebook before they ever think about a real website. When you hire me, the person you ask koto taka is the person who draws your homepage and the person who writes your checkout code. One throat, one inbox, one build.
What you are actually hiring is the judgment around the code, not the typing. Which bKash flow to start on while your merchant approval crawls through the queue. Why cash-on-delivery has to be the default for a Chattogram buyer and how to stop the fake-order calls from outside-city numbers without blocking real ones. When a Khatunganj wholesaler genuinely needs B2B pricing tiers versus when that is just expensive complexity. Why your product page loads in six seconds on a mid-range Android stuck in GEC traffic, and how to fix it. That layer is what the 18k Facebook installer cannot give you and what a fresh in-house hire has not learned yet.
I keep a small number of builds in flight — usually two or three in active development — so the trade-off is honest: onboarding can mean a two-to-three week queue, but when your store is in build it is genuinely in build, not parked behind five other projects. If your budget is truly under 50,000 BDT today, I will tell you to stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up rather than sell you a store that will embarrass you. That is sequencing, not a brush-off, and most Chattogram sellers respect being told the real thing.
Six things that come with hiring one senior operator instead of a Facebook installer or a salaried junior — the parts that decide whether a Chattogram store actually takes orders.
The person you negotiate price with is the person who codes your checkout and the person you call when it breaks. No account manager, no "developer is on another project" texts the night before launch.
Personal-merchant bKash and Nagad flow with order-reference matching, so you stop hunting payment screenshots in WhatsApp at midnight. When your merchant approval clears, I add the auto-confirm gateway as a clean add-on.
Cash-on-delivery is still how most buyers here pay, so the order form and admin are built COD-first. Pathao, Steadfast or RedX pickup with delivery rates set per zone, inside Agrabad and out of city.
If you flip port-side or imported stock, the catalogue handles fast SKU swaps and price edits from your phone when the supplier rate moves. No 2,000 BDT support ticket every time a price changes.
Product pages tuned to first-load under three seconds on a mid-range Android over local 4G in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic. Chattogram buyers do not wait, and Google ranks the slow stores lower.
You get the admin login, hosting credentials and domain in your own name — not rented from the developer. If we ever part ways, you keep the whole store outright. No lock-in, nobody holding it hostage.
A lot of established Chattogram traders reach the same fork: the business is doing real volume offline, online needs to match it, and the instinct — because this is a face-to-face trading city where you trust the person sitting across the table — is to hire someone in-house, a developer you can point to in your own Agrabad or Nasirabad office. The maths rarely survives contact with reality.
A capable ecommerce dev in Chattogram costs you a real monthly salary plus the time you personally spend managing them, and after the store is built you are paying full-time wages for occasional maintenance. A junior cheap enough to keep on payroll is, almost by definition, not senior enough to have built the thing well in the first place. You end up supervising someone who is learning on your store.
Hiring me is the deliberate alternative: senior-level work for the build, no salary line afterward, and the person who knows the code intimately is one message away when something actually needs doing. We work over phone and video calls — no office visit required, though the difference from a remote Dhaka agency is that you are talking to the one person who designs, codes and ships the whole thing, not a sales rep who hands you to a stranger after you sign.
Design goes on Figma and you approve it before I write a line of WooCommerce — that is the design-approval guarantee: if the homepage and product page do not match what we agreed, you get revisions, not excuses. Price is locked at 50,000 BDT for a focused store, 50% advance to start and 50% on launch day, and after launch you reach me directly, not a queue. For most Chattogram sellers that is cheaper, faster and less stressful than carrying a developer on the books.

The questions Chattogram sellers actually ask on WhatsApp before they hire. Straight answers, no sales fog.
Hiring me for a single-vendor WooCommerce store with bKash, Nagad and COD live, up to 30 products loaded by me, courier exports and a self-manage admin starts at 50,000 BDT. The next tier is 90,000 BDT (up to 150 products, filters, abandoned-cart recovery, conversion-tuned product pages). A larger store with a custom theme and Pathao API is 1,50,000 BDT. Anything custom — multi-vendor, B2B pricing rules, ERP sync, custom checkout logic — starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Hosting and domain are paid separately to the provider in your own name. Terms are always 50% advance, 50% on launch — no monthly retainer trap.
Run the maths first. A developer good enough to build the store properly costs a real monthly salary in Chattogram, plus the hours you spend managing him, and once it launches you are paying full-time wages for occasional fixes. A junior cheap enough to keep on payroll usually is not senior enough to have built it well — you end up supervising someone learning on your store. Hiring me is senior work for the build with no salary line after, and you reach me directly when something needs doing. If you genuinely have continuous dev work — daily feature changes, a tech team forming — then yes, an in-house hire makes sense and I will tell you so.
Yes. At the 50,000 BDT tier I set up personal-merchant flow — the buyer pays your bKash or Nagad personal number, references the order ID, and the system matches it when you confirm receipt in admin. Most Chattogram sellers start this way because bKash Merchant approval takes weeks and needs a trade license and bank details. When your account clears, I add the bKash Payment Gateway with auto-confirm as a roughly 10,000 BDT add-on — no rebuild needed.
No office visit needed, and there is no out-of-Dhaka or out-of-city premium. We do everything over phone, WhatsApp and video calls, and you see the design on Figma and approve it before any code is written. The real difference from a big agency is who you are talking to: the one person who scopes, designs, codes and ships your store — not a closer who disappears after the contract and hands you to a junior you never meet. After launch you message me directly when you need a change, not a support ticket.
That is the single most common story I hear from Chattogram sellers, and the structure is what protects you here. You pay 50% to start and the other 50% only on launch — so the bulk of your money is tied to the store actually going live, not to a promise. You own the hosting, domain and admin in your own name from handover, so nobody can hold the store hostage. And because I take only two or three builds at a time, you are not order number forty in a queue someone forgot about. If you have an existing broken store, I will audit it and tell you honestly whether to rescue or rebuild it.
Yes — that is the actual benchmark, not desktop speed. Product images are auto-converted to WebP, the theme ships lean with no heavy page-builder bloat, and checkout carries no third-party widget weight. I test on a real mid-range Android over local 4G before handover, the way a buyer stuck in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic would load it. If a product page takes over three seconds to first-load on that setup, it is not finished and I do not hand it over.
