Online store development in Dhaka, built around how your buyers really pay and how your business really runs. bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery come first.
I'm RH Fardin, a solo senior designer and developer who builds online stores for Dhaka businesses. I build the whole store myself, with no juniors and no handoffs. So the checkout, the product templates, the SteadFast or Pathao courier hook and the admin panel all work as one product. Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT. You get a clear design-approval guarantee before any payment gateway goes live.
About 5 years building real stores. Built for Dhaka founders, Dhaka delivery and Dhaka payment habits, in every build.

Most Dhaka online stores fail at one of three points. The bKash flow is clunky on a 4G phone in Mirpur. The order goes into a spreadsheet nobody updates. Or the customer can't find a product, because a junior who has never shopped on Daraz built the category page. I do online store development in Dhaka to remove those three failures before the cart goes live.
I work as one senior developer on your store. The person scoping your payment setup is the same person writing the React or WooCommerce code. I also set up the courier API. And I'm the one on a call with you the day after launch, when a real customer can't finish checkout. There's no account manager who promises one thing while a junior builds another. You talk to the builder.
About five years of full-time work on websites and ecommerce sits behind every store I ship. That's enough to know the boring things that quietly kill sales. How to make a product gallery feel fast on a mid-range Xiaomi over slow data. How to stop the bKash payment popup breaking inside in-app browsers. How to write category text that Google ranks for Bangla and English searches together.
The whole project runs on 50% advance and 50% on launch, with a design-approval guarantee. If you don't approve the visual direction in the early rounds, you can walk away clean. There's no agency lock-in, no monthly retainer pressure and no hostage hosting. The store and the code are yours from day one.
These aren't generic features lifted from a template. They're the six things I've found really move the needle for Dhaka online stores in the first 90 days.
Mobile-wallet checkout is the default, not an afterthought. It's tested on real Android phones, real 4G, and the in-app browsers people open from Facebook ads.
Cash-on-delivery comes with a phone check and an order-confirmation SMS or WhatsApp ping. So courier rejections from fake orders stop eating your margin.
SteadFast, Pathao, RedX or Sundarban, connected to your store. A confirmed order goes to the courier panel in one click, and the tracking number goes back to the customer on its own.
Product templates handle Bangla titles, English specs and mixed-script reviews without breaking the layout or SEO. That's how your Dhaka buyers really search.
A non-technical founder in Bashundhara can use the admin panel from a phone at 11pm. Mark orders shipped, refund a customer or add a product, without calling me.
Images are compressed, lazy-loaded and served from a CDN. So your store opens in under three seconds on 4G in Mohammadpur, not just on your office WiFi.
A Dhaka online store isn't a smaller version of a US Shopify store. It works inside a very specific buyer culture. Your customer found you through a Facebook reel and opened your link in the Facebook in-app browser. They scrolled with one thumb on a phone with 2GB RAM. In about eight seconds, they decided if you look real.
If your hero image is heavy, they're gone. Same if your bKash button is three taps deep, or your phone number isn't clickable at the top of every page. I design Dhaka stores around that exact path. The product gallery loads step by step. The floating call button is always there. And checkout never asks for an email when a phone number is what they have.
The other half is operations. Most Dhaka stores die from messy order handling, not poor design. Duplicate orders, fake COD addresses and courier returns nobody checks. I build the admin panel and order flow to fix that. Order confirmation goes out on its own. The courier link pulls live status. A simple weekly report shows which products really make money after returns.
Most agencies skip this part, because it doesn't show up in a portfolio screenshot. But it's the part that decides if your store is still trading in six months.

Straight answers to the questions I get from Dhaka founders every week.
Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused store. That covers up to about 25 products, bKash and COD checkout, and one courier link. The middle tier is 90,000 BDT, with a fuller catalogue, Nagad plus bKash, and stricter order checks. A larger store with multi-vendor logic, automation or a heavier catalogue is 1,50,000 BDT. Fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch.
For most Dhaka stores, I recommend WooCommerce. It's cheaper to run and handles bKash and Nagad without forcing you onto international plans. And you own the data. Shopify makes sense if you export or want zero server work. I'll tell you honestly which one fits on our first call. I won't push the platform I make more money on.
Yes. I set up the official bKash and Nagad payment gateways. Or I use SSLCommerz or aamarPay if you prefer one dashboard. Customers pay inside the checkout instead of being sent to a third-party page. For founders without a gateway account yet, I also set up the manual bKash personal or merchant number flow.
Yes. I connect whichever courier you use: SteadFast, Pathao, RedX or Sundarban. A confirmed order sends the parcel booking on its own, and the tracking number goes back to the customer by SMS. If you switch couriers later, you change it in the admin panel without a rebuild.
Two layers. First, an OTP or phone check before the order is final. That cuts the bored-typist orders. Second, an automatic SMS or WhatsApp message asks the buyer to confirm the address before the courier leaves. Founders I've built for usually see courier rejections drop clearly in the first month.
No. The code, hosting and accounts are in your name from day one. I offer optional monthly maintenance, but you don't need it. You can hand the store to any other Dhaka developer, because it uses standard WordPress, WooCommerce or React. There's no locked-in agency framework. The design-approval guarantee also means you don't pay the second half if the launched store doesn't match what we agreed.
