A working online store for your Dhaka business starts at 50,000 BDT. That includes bKash, Nagad, cash on delivery, and Pathao and Steadfast links. There are no setup fees pretending to be optional. Here is the real online store development cost in Dhaka: what each tier covers and what makes the number go up.
Price floor of 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch. About five years of building online stores for Dhaka brands.

The most common WhatsApp message I get from Dhaka business owners is a screenshot of an F-commerce page. It comes with one question: eta proper website korte koto taka lagbe? The honest answer is that online store development cost in Dhaka depends on what your store has to do.
A jewellery brand in Dhanmondi selling thirty products needs a very different build from a grocery store in Mirpur. That grocer may run 800 products with daily price changes and Pathao Parcel pickup zones. So instead of quoting a fake "starting from" figure, I price by what is actually inside the store.
My online store development cost in Dhaka starts at a hard floor of 50,000 BDT. That floor is not a starter package built to upsell you. It covers a complete small store with up to 30 products. You get bKash and Nagad, personal or merchant, plus cash on delivery with order confirmation by phone. You get Pathao or Steadfast courier links, a basic order dashboard, mobile-first design and SSL. And the checkout is one I have tested myself with real 1 taka payments before handover.
Costs go up for clear, predictable reasons. You may need more products with variants, like size, colour or pack. You may need several courier zones with different shipping rules. Other add-ons are automatic SMS, abandoned cart recovery and vendor logins. There is also export to Tally or your accountant's Excel, a Bangla and English setup, or a big catalogue imported from your Facebook page.
Each of these is a line item, not a hidden charge. The 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers cover most Dhaka SME stores I build. Anything truly custom starts at 3,00,000 BDT. That means multi-warehouse, ERP sync or a marketplace with many vendors.
Payment terms are simple and the same for every Dhaka client. You pay 50% advance to start. The other 50% comes on launch day, after you sign off the design and test the checkout yourself. You own the code, the hosting account, the domain and the bKash merchant details. There is no monthly platform fee to me. And there is no "we host it for you" lock-in dressed up as a feature.
Here are six things every online store I build in Dhaka includes at the 50,000 BDT floor. No upgrade needed, and no fine print.
Personal and merchant API links, with the order ID passed in the reference field. So you can match payments without doing it by hand. Tested with real payments before handover.
An order confirmation call flow and a fake order filter that checks Bangladeshi mobile numbers by length and prefix. Plus a list of "COD blocked districts" you can edit yourself. No more 30% return rate from junk orders.
Courier API links, so you make parcels and consignment numbers from your admin panel. No more copying addresses into Pathao Merchant one by one at 11pm.
Tested on a real 250 BDT smartphone over Banglalink 3G, the way a buyer in Mirpur sees it. Not just on a fast laptop. Your store loads in under 4 seconds, even when the network acts up.
Proper Bangla web fonts that do not break ও, ঃ or যুক্তবর্ণ. Product names can mix Bangla and English without the layout shifting on phones.
A dashboard your manager can run without me. Add products from a phone, change prices in bulk, mark orders shipped and download a daily sales CSV. A 30-minute screen-recorded walkthrough in Bangla is included.
Most quotes you see in Dhaka are vague on purpose, because the agency wants room to charge more later. Here is what really moves the price. First is product count and variants: 50 products is a different build from 500 with size and colour options. Next is the number of courier partners and their COD rules. Then comes automatic SMS through Bulk SMS BD, or just email. It also matters if wholesale and retail prices differ for B2B buyers, and if you sell in Bangla, English or both.
Here is how that plays out in time. A 50,000 BDT store with 20 products takes me about two weeks. A 90,000 BDT store with 150 products, abandoned cart emails and a Facebook Catalog feed takes about four. A 1,50,000 BDT store with vendor logins, vendor commissions and Sheba.xyz-style service categories takes six to eight.
Here is what does NOT cost extra. SSL, mobile tuning, basic on-page SEO, a sitemap and product schema markup. Google Search Console setup and a contact form that emails you on the same domain. And the right to edit your own products without paying me 5,000 BDT per change.
Is a Dhaka agency charging you 25,000 BDT for an SSL certificate? Or 15,000 BDT to "enable a WhatsApp button"? They are billing ten-minute jobs at consultant rates. Walk away. For online store development in Dhaka BD today, the honest floor for a real, working store is 50,000 BDT. The honest ceiling for most SMEs is 1,50,000 BDT.

Real cost questions Dhaka business owners ask before they hit the bKash advance button.
The honest floor is 50,000 BDT. That gets you a working store with bKash, Nagad, cash on delivery, Pathao links and up to 30 products. The mobile-first design is tested on Dhaka 3G. Most SME stores in Dhaka end up at 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT, based on product count and features. Anything fully custom, like multi-vendor or ERP sync, starts at 3,00,000 BDT.
Because at 15,000 BDT, nobody can build, test and launch a real online store. A real store needs working payments, a courier API and a front end that is fast on phones. At that price, they sell you a Bootstrap template with broken bKash buttons. I have rebuilt at least a dozen of those for Dhaka clients in the last two years. You end up paying twice. The 50,000 BDT floor covers real work by one skilled person, not a template handover.
50,000 BDT: up to 30 products, bKash, Nagad, COD, one courier, basic admin and mobile-first design. 90,000 BDT: up to 150 products with variants, two couriers, abandoned cart, SMS confirmations, Google Merchant and Facebook Catalog feeds, and ready for two languages. 1,50,000 BDT: 500+ products, full Bangla and English, customer accounts with order history, a B2B wholesale price tier, automatic review requests and deeper analytics. All three include hosting handover, training and support after launch.
Yes. Both personal and merchant API links are included at every tier. You pay bKash and Nagad their own merchant onboarding fees directly. That money does not come to me. If you do not have a merchant account yet, I will guide you through the papers: trade licence, NID and bank account. The account stays in your name.
Hosting in Dhaka is about 600 to 1,500 BDT a month, based on traffic. A domain is 1,200 BDT a year, and SSL is free through Let's Encrypt. bKash and Nagad take about 1.5 to 2% per payment under their merchant terms. Pathao charges per parcel from its rate card. Bulk SMS BD costs about 0.25 BDT per message, if you use SMS. No platform fee goes to me. An optional maintenance retainer is 5,000 to 15,000 BDT a month for updates, backups and small changes.
The standard is 50% advance and 50% on launch. It is the same for everyone, with no exceptions for first projects. For the 1,50,000 BDT tier and above, I split it into 40% advance, 30% on design approval and 30% on launch. I do not start work without the advance. I have heard "I will pay you when I get my first sale" three times too many. You can pay the advance by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, whichever is easiest for you.
