A Gulshan-based online store development company is usually three account managers between you and the person actually building your store. With me, you brief the operator and the operator builds. That is the whole company.
I build online stores for Gulshan brands that need bKash, Nagad, COD and Pathao logistics working from day one — not bolted on after launch when the orders start dropping. Around five years doing this, one senior operator, written design approval before any code ships.
From 50,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Stores ship live on a Gulshan-friendly stack — fast on Banani 4G, fast on a Robi prepaid SIM in Niketon, fast on the showroom iPad.

Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Most Gulshan founders who call me have already spoken to two or three online store development companies on Gulshan Avenue. The pattern is the same: a polished pitch from someone in a suit, a quote between 2-5 lakh, and a vague hand-wave about who actually writes the code. Then the build goes to a junior in Dhanmondi or, more often, gets pasted into a Shopify theme by someone who has never personally taken a bKash payment.
I am RH Fardin and that is the gap I sit in. Around five years building stores for Bangladesh brands, working solo from brief to launch. When you message me on WhatsApp at 11pm because the Bagikon plugin is double-charging customers, you are messaging the person who configured the plugin. No ticket number, no escalation queue, no 'let me check with the developer.'
For Gulshan specifically that matters more than people admit. The buyers walking past your Gulshan-2 boutique or ordering from your North Gulshan dark kitchen expect a checkout that takes 20 seconds — bKash personal, then a Pathao courier slot, then a confirmation SMS. If the bKash redirect breaks, they screenshot Daraz instead. A senior solo operator catches that the first time. An agency catches it on revision four.
I build mostly on WooCommerce because it talks to bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz, Pathao and Steadfast without paying Shopify a 2% transaction tax on top. When Shopify genuinely makes sense — usually for export-ready Gulshan brands selling to NRBs in London and Toronto — I build there too. The choice depends on your buyer, not on which platform I prefer to invoice for.
Six things every store I ship for Gulshan brands has on launch day. No upsells, no 'phase two', no surprise invoice after the first 50 orders.
Both gateways tested with real 1 BDT transactions before launch — personal merchant or PGW, your choice. Customers on a Banglalink prepaid in Gulshan-1 can pay without bouncing back to the cart.
Cash-on-delivery is wired to Pathao or Steadfast pickup, so the Gulshan-to-Mirpur run shows real delivery charges at checkout. Customers see 70 BDT for Dhaka inside, 130 BDT for outside, not a guess.
Your Gulshan showroom staff get a simple admin: scan a product barcode, mark stock, fulfil order. No 40-tab Shopify dashboard nobody at the counter will ever learn to use.
Product titles, checkout labels and SMS confirmations toggle between Bangla and English. Half your Gulshan-area buyers want English UI; the buyers ordering for delivery to Bhola want the SMS in Bangla.
Stores load under 3 seconds on a Redmi 9 on Banglalink — the actual phone half your traffic uses, not the iPhone 15 your designer tested on in Banani.
You sign off product page, cart and checkout in Figma before any code. If the live store does not match what you approved, I rebuild it on my time. Written into the contract, not an aspiration.
The Gulshan ecommerce buyer is not the average Bangladesh ecommerce buyer. Average order values run higher — a Gulshan-2 boutique sees 4,000-12,000 BDT per order versus the national 1,500 BDT average — and the customer is twice as likely to abandon if the checkout feels cheap.
That means image-heavy product pages with proper Cloudinary delivery (not 4MB JPEGs slowing the page to 7 seconds on the metro), a checkout that does not redirect through four janky pages, and a 'pay now' button that goes straight to bKash without asking the user to copy a merchant number. None of this is hard.
All of it gets skipped by the 25,000 BDT 'shop ready in 7 days' shops on Facebook and by the bigger Gulshan companies who quote 3 lakh and then run the build through a junior.
Logistics is the other thing Gulshan stores get wrong. If you sell from a Gulshan-1 warehouse, your delivery promise is not 'within Dhaka' — it is 'Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara by same evening, rest of Dhaka next day, outside Dhaka in 2-3 days via Steadfast.' That promise has to show on the product page, not just at checkout, because Gulshan buyers compare against Foodpanda and Chaldal who tell them upfront. I wire your store to the Pathao or Steadfast API so the customer's pin code drives the real delivery window, not a generic 'we will contact you' line. For a Gulshan-area buyer expecting professional service, that one detail is worth more than any homepage hero animation.

What Gulshan founders ask before hiring me to build their online store. Direct answers, real numbers.
Stores start at 50,000 BDT for a clean WooCommerce build with bKash, Nagad and COD on a single-language storefront. The 90,000 BDT tier adds Bangla + English, a Pathao or Steadfast logistics API, and a showroom-friendly admin. 1,50,000 BDT covers a full multi-vendor or multi-warehouse setup. Custom builds with ERP, POS sync or B2B pricing tiers start at 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch — no surprise invoices after.
Because with an agency, the senior who pitched you is not the one writing the code — usually a junior in another office does the build and a project manager forwards your WhatsApp messages with a 4-hour lag. With me, the person you brief is the person who ships. Around five years doing this, no juniors, no handoffs. If your bKash gateway breaks on Friday night, I am the one fixing it, not a ticket queue.
WooCommerce if your main market is Bangladesh — bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz, Pathao and Steadfast all plug in natively and you do not pay Shopify's transaction fees on top of gateway fees. Shopify if you mainly export to NRB buyers in the UK, US and Middle East and want the slickest checkout out of the box. Most Gulshan brands need WooCommerce. The few that ship abroad daily benefit from Shopify. I will tell you straight, not push you to the one I would rather invoice for.
Standard 50,000 BDT WooCommerce store goes from advance to live in 3-4 weeks, assuming you give me product photos and copy on time. 90,000 BDT tier with two-language UI and full Pathao integration is 5-6 weeks. 1,50,000 BDT multi-feature builds run 8-10 weeks. Most slippage comes from waiting on product shoots, not from the build — I will tell you upfront if your content gap is going to delay launch.
If you want it to, yes — I build with proper Schema, fast Core Web Vitals, location-aware product copy and a Google Business Profile setup for your Gulshan showroom address. That gets you into the 'near me' results when someone in Banani or Baridhara searches for what you sell. Pure ecommerce SEO beyond launch (link building, ongoing content) is separate work, but the foundation is in every store I ship.
Yes. I build on stacks that scale — managed WordPress hosting that handles 50,000 monthly orders without crashing, Cloudflare in front, a database that does not melt when you run a Black Friday campaign. Adding warehouses, languages, vendors or markets later is a paid extension, but it is an extension, not a rebuild. You will not outgrow the store in 18 months and have to start over.
