Online store development in Dhaka built around how your buyers actually pay - bKash, Nagad, cash on delivery - and how your operations actually run.
I am RH Fardin, a solo senior designer and developer in Bangladesh. I build the entire store myself - no juniors, no handoffs - so the checkout, the product templates, the SteadFast or Pathao courier hook, and the admin panel all behave like one product. Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT with a clear design-approval guarantee before any payment gateway goes live.
Around 5 years building real stores. Dhaka-based founders, Dhaka-based delivery, Dhaka-based payment realities baked into every build.

Most Dhaka online stores fail at one of three points: the bKash flow is clunky on a 4G mobile in Mirpur, the order goes into a spreadsheet that nobody updates, or the customer cannot find a product because the category page was built by a junior who has never shopped on Daraz. I build online stores in Dhaka specifically to remove those three failure modes before the cart goes live.
I work as one senior operator on your store. That means the person scoping your payment integration is the same person writing the React or WooCommerce code, the same person setting up the courier API, and the same person sitting with you on a call the day after launch when a real customer cannot complete checkout. There is no account manager who promises one thing and a junior who 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 is enough to know the boring stuff that quietly kills conversion: how to make a product gallery feel fast on a mid-range Xiaomi over slow data, how to keep the bKash payment popup from breaking on in-app browsers, how to write category descriptions that Google actually ranks for Bangla and English queries together.
The whole engagement runs on a 50% advance and 50% on launch, with a design-approval guarantee - if you do not approve the visual direction in the early rounds, you can walk away clean. No agency lock-in, no monthly retainer pressure, no hostage hosting. The store and the code are yours from day one.
These are not generic features lifted from a template - they are the six things I have found genuinely move the needle for Dhaka online stores in the first 90 days.
Mobile-wallet checkout treated as the default, not an afterthought. Tested on real Android handsets, real 4G, and the in-app browsers people open from Facebook ads.
Cash-on-delivery flow with a phone verification step and an order-confirmation SMS or WhatsApp ping so your courier rejection rate stops eating the margin from every fake order.
SteadFast, Pathao, RedX or Sundarban integrated so a confirmed order pushes to the courier panel with one click and the tracking number comes back to the customer automatically.
Product templates that handle Bangla titles, English specs, and mixed-script reviews without breaking layout or SEO - because that is how your Dhaka buyers actually search.
An admin panel a non-technical founder in Bashundhara can use from a phone at 11pm to mark orders shipped, refund a customer, or add a new product without calling me.
Images compressed, lazy-loaded and served from a CDN so your store opens in under three seconds on a 4G connection in Mohammadpur, not just on your office WiFi.
A Dhaka online store is not a smaller version of a US Shopify store - it operates inside a very specific buyer culture. Your customer found you through a Facebook reel, opened your link inside the Facebook in-app browser, scrolled with one thumb on a phone with 2GB RAM, and decided in roughly eight seconds whether you look legitimate. If your hero image is heavy, your bKash button is hidden three taps deep, or your phone number is not clickable at the top of every page, you have already lost them.
I design Dhaka online stores around that exact sequence - the product gallery loads progressively, the floating call button is permanent, and the checkout never asks for an email when a phone number is what they actually have.
The second half of the picture is operational. Most Dhaka stores die not from poor design but from messy order ops - duplicate orders, fake COD addresses, courier returns nobody reconciles. I build the admin panel and the order flow to fix that: order confirmation goes out automatically, the courier integration pulls real-time status, and a simple weekly report shows you which products are actually profitable after returns. That is the part most agencies skip because it does not show up in a portfolio screenshot, and it is the part that decides whether 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 with up to ~25 products, bKash and COD checkout, and one courier integration. The middle tier is 90,000 BDT and covers a fuller catalogue, Nagad plus bKash, and stricter order verification. A larger custom store with multi-vendor logic, automation, or a heavier catalogue is 1,50,000 BDT, and fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
For most Dhaka stores I recommend WooCommerce - it is cheaper to run, handles bKash and Nagad without forcing you onto international plans, and you own the data. Shopify makes sense if you are exporting or want zero infrastructure work. I will tell you honestly which one fits in our first call instead of pushing the platform I make more money on.
Yes. I integrate the official bKash and Nagad payment gateways - or aggregators like SSLCommerz or aamarPay if you prefer one dashboard - so customers can pay from inside the checkout instead of being thrown to a third-party page. I also configure the manual bKash personal/merchant number flow for founders who do not yet have a payment gateway account.
Yes. I integrate whichever courier you actually use - SteadFast, Pathao, RedX or Sundarban - so a confirmed order pushes the consignment automatically and the tracking number flows back to the customer over SMS. If you switch couriers later, the admin panel lets you change without rebuilding.
Two layers. First, an OTP or phone-verification step before the order is finalised, which cuts the bored-typist orders. Second, an automated SMS or WhatsApp confirmation that asks the buyer to confirm the address before the courier is dispatched. Founders I have built for typically see courier rejection drop noticeably in the first month.
No. The code, hosting and accounts are in your name from day one. I offer optional monthly maintenance, but it is not required - you can hand the store to any other Dhaka developer because the build uses standard WordPress, WooCommerce or React, not a locked-in agency framework. The design-approval guarantee also means you do not pay the second half if the launched store does not match what we agreed.
