Online store development cost in Chittagong, broken down line by line instead of guessed at.
Ask five people in Chattogram what an online store costs. You will get a 12,000-taka WhatsApp number, a 'depends bhai' shrug and a Dhaka agency quote past two lakh. None of them tell you what is actually in the price. This page does. The floor is 50,000 BDT, the tiers are fixed, and every taka maps to a piece of work you can point at.
One senior designer and developer, about 5 years on the keyboard. 50% advance, 50% on launch. You approve the design before the balance is ever due.

A wholesaler in Khatunganj prices a shipment to the taka before it clears the port. Then he asks about online store development cost in Chittagong. The numbers come back so far apart that he assumes someone is lying. Usually nobody is. The 12,000-taka quote and the 2,40,000-taka quote price two very different things under the same name.
One is a pirated theme dropped on cheap shared hosting, with no real checkout. The other is an agency invoice padded with account managers you will never need. You cannot get a straight answer because almost nobody itemises the build. So you cannot see that you are comparing a bicycle to a delivery van. I quote the work, not your wallet. The floor is 50,000 BDT, and on the first call I will tell you which tier your store actually needs.
Here is what the online store development cost in Chittagong actually breaks into. A price you cannot itemise is a price you cannot trust. First, there is the design. That is how the store looks, and how a buyer in Agrabad reads it in two seconds on a phone. Next comes the development. That is the part that runs after they tap order.
The payment is captured, the stock count drops and the order lands in your panel. The address is clean enough to hand to a courier. Then there is the payment setup: bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery, built around how Chattogram actually pays. Last is the admin you run yourself. At 50,000 BDT, all four are real and working. The number moves with how much of each you need, not with how rich your shop looks to whoever is quoting.
The tiers map plainly to scope. 50,000 BDT gets a clean, mobile-first store with a working catalog, BD payments, COD and a self-run admin. It is a real launched shop, not a trial that nags you to upgrade. 90,000 BDT is for more products, deeper categories and a properly custom design. 1,50,000 BDT is for a store that is your main sales channel. It has a serious catalog, heavier customisation and more order-handling logic.
Fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. That means a bespoke checkout, ERP or stock sync, or a multi-vendor setup. Whatever I quote is the whole number for the scope we write down. The only extra is something truly new that you ask for after we agree on what we are building.
The terms are the same for everyone, and they exist to protect you, not me. You pay 50% to start and 50% on the day it launches. You also get a design-approval guarantee: I do not write production code until you sign off on the look. I keep getting called to rescue stores where a Chattogram owner paid 100% upfront to a 'cheap' developer.
They got a half-built WooCommerce theme and a WhatsApp thread that went quiet. With me, you get a fixed price, fixed milestones and the design approved before the balance. One senior person is accountable for all of it, from start to finish, because I am the only person who touches your build.
Six things decide where your online store development cost in Chittagong lands, between the 50,000 BDT floor and a custom build. Here is what each one means, and what is already included before the number moves at all.
A 30-product homeware seller in Patenga and a 1,500-SKU electronics importer near the port are not the same job. Product count, size and colour variants and category depth are the first real driver of your price.
bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery are included at the 50,000 floor, not sold back as an add-on. A registered-company merchant gateway like SSLCommerz or aamarPay is extra setup. But no Chattogram buyer leaves checkout over it on day one.
Most of the jump from 50,000 to 90,000 is design. A store that looks like a trusted GEC brand, not a recoloured template, is what gets a first-time buyer to hand over their bKash PIN at all.
Every tier comes with a Bangla-friendly panel you run from your phone. You can add products, change Eid prices and mark orders shipped. You do not pay me 2,000 taka each time a rate changes. That is a big part of why the floor holds at 50,000.
This covers stock that updates, so you stop overselling between the shop counter and the site. It also covers order statuses and stock alerts. The deeper this goes, the higher the tier. It is a named line in the quote, never a buried surprise.
The number I quote is the number. You pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch, with the design approved before the balance. No 'scope expanded' invoice lands in the week you are meant to go live.
Most online store quotes in Chattogram share the same blind spot. They only price the day you launch, never the cost of still being live a year later. Two numbers matter here, and almost nobody shows them to you. The first is build versus rent. A subscription platform looks cheap on the sticker, at a few thousand taka a month. But you rent forever, the monthly bill never ends and transaction fees stack on top. You also never own the thing your whole business runs on.
A build is one fixed cost, from 50,000 BDT with me, and the store is yours. For a Chattogram seller with steady sales, the rented store quietly costs more than the owned one within a year or two. And after all that rent, you have nothing to show for it. The right answer depends on your volume and how much you trade. That is the talk I would rather have on the first call than let a sticker price decide for you.
The second number is the yearly bill under every store. I tell you about it before you pay a taka, not after. A live online store needs a domain and hosting every year. Those are real costs, but small, and they are yours to own, not rolled into a markup. If you take the registered-company merchant gateway, bKash, Nagad or a card processor each take a small cut per transaction. That is their fee, not mine. I will show you the rates, so there is no surprise in month two.
Those are the honest, modest running costs. You will not pay me the Dhaka tax. That is a lakh-plus quote that mostly pays for account managers and a Gulshan office. It even pays for someone flying down to Agrabad for meetings. A junior still does the build. The real online store development cost in Chittagong is the build itself plus a small, clear yearly bill. You get one senior builder, a written scope, the design approved before the balance, and no nasty surprises after launch.

The questions Chattogram shop owners actually ask before they commit, starting with the one that always comes first.
A complete, mobile-first store starts at 50,000 BDT. That includes a working catalog, bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery, and an admin you run from your phone. Next is 90,000 BDT for more products and a properly custom design. Then 1,50,000 BDT for a serious catalog that is your main sales channel. Fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch. I tell you which tier you need on the first call, not after you pay.
Because the two prices buy different things and only share a name. The 12,000-taka version is almost always a nulled (pirated) theme on cheap shared hosting. It has no real payment setup and no proper admin. Nobody answers WhatsApp after launch. I have rebuilt several of those for Chattogram owners who ended up paying twice. 50,000 BDT buys a clean, owned, working store and one senior person accountable for it. Here, cheap upfront is the expensive option.
It depends on volume. A subscription store is cheap on day one, but you rent it forever and pay transaction fees on top. You never own the platform. For a Chattogram seller with steady sales, the running cost passes a one-time build within a year or two. A build from 50,000 BDT is a fixed cost, and the store is yours. Testing one product with almost no orders? Then renting can make sense for a few months. I will give you an honest answer on the first call.
There are three, and all are small. A domain and hosting renew each year. They are real but modest, and yours to own, not hidden in a markup. If you take the registered-company merchant gateway, bKash, Nagad or a card processor each charge a small fee per transaction. That is their rate, not mine, and I show you the numbers upfront. That is it. There is no surprise maintenance retainer. You only pay me again if you ask for new work outside the original scope.
There are three main drivers. The first is how many products and variants you list. The second is how custom the design is, compared with a proven layout. The third is how much order-handling logic you need, like live stock counts, stock alerts and deeper categories. A 30-product local brand sits at the floor. A port-side importer with a thousand SKUs and stock sync is a custom build. I will show you which drivers apply to your store before you commit a taka.
No. The number I quote covers the build we scoped. That means design, development, the bKash, Nagad and COD setup we agreed on, and launch. The only ongoing costs are the yearly domain and hosting, plus any gateway transaction fees. I tell you about both before you pay. The only thing that would ever be extra is a new feature you ask for after we agree on the scope. Outside of that, what you are quoted is what you pay.
