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 and you'll 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's 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-developer, ~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 consignment to the taka before it clears the port, then asks what online store development costs in Chittagong and gets numbers so far apart he assumes someone is lying. Usually nobody is. The 12,000-taka quote and the 2,40,000-taka quote are pricing two completely different things and calling them the same word. 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'll never need.
The reason you can't get a straight answer is that almost nobody itemises the build — so you can't see that you're comparing a bicycle to a delivery van. I quote the work, not your wallet: the floor is 50,000 BDT, and I'll tell you on the first call which tier the store you described actually needs.
Here's what the online store development cost in Chittagong actually breaks into, because a price you can't itemise is a price you can't trust. There's the design — how the store looks and how a buyer in Agrabad reads it in two seconds on a phone. There's the development — the part that runs after they tap order: payment captured, stock decremented, order in your panel, address clean enough to hand a courier. There's the payment setup: bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery, wired around how Chattogram actually pays.
And there's 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 prosperous your shop looks to whoever's quoting.
The tiers map to scope, plainly. 50,000 BDT is a clean, mobile-first store with a working catalog, BD payments, COD and a self-run admin — a real launched shop, not a trial that nags you to upgrade. 90,000 BDT is for more products, deeper category structure and a properly custom design. 1,50,000 BDT is the store that's your main sales channel: a serious catalog, heavier customisation, more order-handling logic. Fully custom builds — bespoke checkout, ERP or inventory sync, multi-vendor — start at 3,00,000 BDT. Whatever I quote is the whole number for the scope we write down. The only thing that's ever extra is something genuinely new you ask for after we've agreed what we're building.
Terms are the same for everyone and they exist to protect you, not me: 50% to start, 50% the day it launches, and a design-approval guarantee — I don't write production code until you've signed off on the look. I put it that way because I keep getting called to rescue stores where a Chattogram owner paid 100% up front to a 'cheap' developer and got a half-built WooCommerce theme and a WhatsApp thread that went quiet. Fixed price, fixed milestones, the design approved before the balance — and one senior person accountable for all of it, start to finish, because I'm the only person who touches your build.
Six things that decide where your online store development cost in Chittagong lands between the 50,000 BDT floor and a custom build — and what's already included before the number moves at all.
A 30-product Patenga homeware seller 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 where your price sits.
bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery are in 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 abandons checkout over it on day one.
Most of the jump from 50,000 to 90,000 is design. A store that reads like a trusted GEC brand instead of a recoloured template is what makes a first-time buyer hand over their bKash PIN to you at all.
Every tier ships with a Bangla-friendly panel you run from your phone — add products, change Eid prices, mark orders shipped. You're not paying me 2,000 taka each time a rate changes. That's a big part of why the floor holds at 50,000.
Inventory that updates so you stop overselling between the shop counter and the site, order statuses, stock alerts. The deeper this gets, the higher the tier — it's a named line in the quote, never a buried surprise.
The number I quote is the number. 50% advance, 50% on launch, design approved before the balance. No 'scope expanded' invoice landing the week you're meant to go live.
Most online store quotes in Chattogram hide 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 puts them in front of you. First, build versus rent. A subscription platform looks cheap on the sticker — a few thousand taka a month — but you're renting forever, the monthly bill never ends, transaction fees stack on top, and you don't own the thing your whole business now runs on.
A build is one fixed cost — from 50,000 BDT with me — and the store is yours. For a Chattogram seller doing steady volume, the rented store quietly overtakes the owned one within the first year or two, and you've still got nothing to show for the rent. The right answer depends on your volume and how much you trade, which is exactly the conversation I'd rather have on the first call than let a sticker price decide for you.
Second, the yearly bill underneath every store, which I'll tell you about before you pay a taka rather than after. A live online store needs a domain and hosting every year — real numbers, but small, and 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 per-transaction cut — that's their fee, not mine, and I'll show you the rates so there's no surprise in month two. Those are the honest running costs, and they're modest.
What you will not get from me is the Dhaka tax — a lakh-plus quote where most of the money buys account managers, a Gulshan office and someone flying down to Agrabad for meetings, while a junior does your actual build anyway. The real online store development cost in Chittagong is the cost of the build itself plus a small, transparent yearly bill to keep it running. One senior operator, a scope written down, the design approved before the balance, and nothing waiting to ambush you once the store is live.

The questions Chattogram shop owners actually ask before they commit — starting with the only one that's ever first.
A complete, mobile-first store starts at 50,000 BDT — working catalog, bKash and Nagad plus cash-on-delivery, and an admin you run from your phone. From there it's 90,000 BDT for more products and a properly custom design, and 1,50,000 BDT for a serious catalog that's your main sales channel. Fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are 50% advance, 50% on launch, and I tell you which tier you actually need on the first call — not after you've paid.
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, no real payment setup, no proper admin, and nobody answering WhatsApp after launch. I've 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. Cheap up front is the expensive option here.
Depends entirely on your volume. A subscription store is cheap on day one but you rent it forever, pay transaction fees on top, and never own the platform your business runs on — and for a Chattogram seller doing steady volume the running cost overtakes a one-time build inside a year or two. A build from 50,000 BDT is a fixed cost and the store is yours. If you're testing a single product with almost no orders yet, renting can make sense for a few months. I'll give you the honest answer for your case on the first call.
Three, and all small. A domain and hosting renew each year — 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 per-transaction fee — their rate, not mine, and I show you the numbers up front. That's it. There's no surprise maintenance retainer; you only pay me again if you ask for new work that wasn't in the original scope.
Mainly three drivers: how many products and variants you list, how custom the design is versus a proven layout, and how much order-handling logic you need — inventory that updates, stock alerts, deeper category structure. A 30-product local brand sits at the floor. A port-side importer with a thousand SKUs and inventory sync is a custom build. I'll show you exactly which drivers apply to your store before you commit a taka.
No. The number I quote covers the build we scoped — design, development, the bKash/Nagad/COD setup we agreed, and launch. The only ongoing costs are the yearly domain and hosting and any gateway transaction fees, both of which I tell you about before you pay. The single thing that would ever be extra is a new feature you ask for after we've agreed the scope. Outside of that, what you're quoted is what you pay.
