Hire one senior ecommerce developer for your Chittagong store. The same person scopes it, designs it, sets up bKash, Nagad and COD, adds the courier and ships it live.
In Chattogram, your real choices are usually two. One is a Facebook "developer" who vanishes after the advance. The other is 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 the same person after launch. Not a ticket queue in Dhaka. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch. You sign off the design before any code.
One senior operator with about 5 years of building stores for Bangladeshi sellers, including the import-and-resell trade Chattogram runs on. I have set up bKash, Nagad, COD, Pathao, Steadfast and RedX 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, then loses them to Dhaka. The senior person who could build your store properly took a salaried job in Banani two years ago. That is why it is so hard to hire an ecommerce developer in Chittagong who will still be around after launch.
What is left in the local Facebook groups is mostly the junior tier. That is the boy who installs a nulled WooCommerce theme for 18,000 BDT. He wires in his own bKash number for now, and stops replying the week after he is paid. So a serious Chattogram seller must choose. Go cheap and watch them disappear, or put a full-time developer on salary for a single store. That never adds up. Hiring me fills that gap.
I am RH Fardin, and I work as one operator. No agency, no bench, and no juniors quietly doing the build while a senior bills for it. I have about five years of full-time work on WooCommerce and Shopify stores for Bangladeshi sellers. Many are the import-and-resell crowd Chattogram is built on. They are traders moving goods that came through the port, and electronics sellers on the Reazuddin Bazar supply chain.
Others sell clothing and home stock that a Khulshi or Nasirabad reseller flips on Facebook long before thinking of a real website. When you hire me, the person you ask koto taka is the person who draws your homepage. The same person writes your checkout code. One person, one inbox, one build.
What you really hire is the judgment around the code, not the typing. Which bKash flow should you start on while your merchant approval crawls through the queue? Why must cash on delivery be the default for a Chattogram buyer? How do you stop fake-order calls from outside-city numbers without blocking real ones? When does a Khatunganj wholesaler truly need B2B price tiers, and when is that just costly complexity?
Why does your product page take six seconds to load on a mid-range Android stuck in GEC traffic, and how do you fix it? That layer is what the 18k Facebook installer cannot give you. A fresh in-house hire has not learned it yet.
I keep only a few builds going at once, usually two or three in active development. So the trade-off is honest. Getting started can mean a two to three week wait. But when your store is in build, it is really 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. I will not sell you a store that will embarrass you. That is honest timing, not a brush-off. Most Chattogram sellers respect being told the real thing.
Six things come with hiring one senior operator instead of a Facebook installer or a salaried junior. These are the parts that decide if a Chattogram store really takes orders.
The person you agree a price with codes your checkout. That is also who you call when it breaks. No account manager, and no "developer is on another project" texts the night before launch.
A personal-merchant bKash and Nagad flow matches each payment to its order reference. 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 put COD first. Pathao, Steadfast or RedX pickup is set up, with delivery rates per zone, inside Agrabad and out of city.
If you flip port-side or imported stock, the catalogue handles fast SKU swaps. You can edit prices from your phone when the supplier rate moves. No 2,000 BDT support ticket every time a price changes.
Product pages first load in 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 slow stores lower.
You get the admin login, hosting logins and domain in your own name. Nothing is rented from the developer. If we ever part ways, you keep the whole store outright. No lock-in, and nobody holds it hostage.
Many established Chattogram traders reach the same fork. The business does real volume offline, and online needs to match it. This is a face-to-face trading city, where you trust the person across the table. So the instinct is to hire someone in-house, a developer you can point to in your own Agrabad or Nasirabad office.
The maths rarely holds up. A capable ecommerce developer in Chattogram costs a real monthly salary. Add the time you spend managing them. Once the store is built, you pay full-time wages for occasional upkeep. A junior cheap enough to keep on payroll is, almost by definition, not senior enough to have built it well. You end up supervising someone who is learning on your store.
Hiring me is the planned alternative. You get senior-level work for the build and no salary line afterward. The person who knows the code best is one message away when something needs doing. We work over phone and video calls, with no office visit required. Unlike a remote Dhaka agency, you talk 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.
The design goes into Figma, and you approve it before I write any WooCommerce code. 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, with 50% advance and 50% on launch day. After launch, you reach me directly, not a queue. For most Chattogram sellers, that is cheaper, faster and less stressful than a developer on the books.

Hiring me starts at 50,000 BDT. That is a single-vendor WooCommerce store with bKash, Nagad and COD, up to 30 products loaded by me, courier exports and an admin. The next tier is 90,000 BDT, for up to 150 products, filters, cart recovery and tuned product pages. A larger store with a custom theme and the Pathao API is 1,50,000 BDT. Custom work like multi-vendor, B2B pricing, ERP sync or custom checkout starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Hosting and domain are extra. Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch.
Run the maths. A developer good enough to build it properly costs a real monthly salary here. Add the hours you spend managing him, then full-time wages for occasional fixes after launch. A junior cheap enough to keep on payroll is rarely senior enough to build it well. Hiring me gets senior work for the build, no salary after, and direct access to me. If you truly have ongoing work, like daily feature changes or a forming tech team, an in-house hire makes sense, and I will say so.
Yes. At the 50,000 BDT tier, I set up a personal-merchant flow. The buyer pays your bKash or Nagad personal number and adds the order ID. 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 for about 10,000 BDT extra. No rebuild is needed.
No office visit is needed, and there is no out-of-city premium. We do everything over phone, WhatsApp and video calls. You see the design in Figma and approve it before any code is written. The real difference from a big agency is who you talk to. It is 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 for changes, not a support ticket.
It is the most common story I hear in Chattogram. Here, the structure protects you. You pay 50% to start and the other 50% only on launch, when the store goes live. You own the hosting, domain and admin in your own name, so nobody can hold the store hostage. I take only two or three builds at a time, so you are not number forty in a forgotten queue. Got a broken store? I will audit it and say honestly whether to rescue or rebuild.
Yes. That is the real benchmark, not desktop speed. Product images are auto-converted to WebP. The theme is lean, with no heavy page-builder bloat. Checkout carries no third-party widget weight. Before handover, I test on a real mid-range Android over local 4G, 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. I do not hand it over.
