Online store development in Dhanmondi that takes bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery, with no hand-off to a junior.
I am RH Fardin. I build online stores for Dhanmondi boutiques, salons, food brands and small importers myself. I handle everything from the product page to checkout to the courier link. There is no agency layer and no account manager passing your file to a stranger. You message me, and I message back. Prices start at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch. You approve your designs before I write a line of code.
About five years building real stores in Bangladesh. One senior operator. bKash, Nagad, COD and Pathao courier set up properly.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
A Road 27 boutique owner once told me her old store made customers fill in fourteen fields just to order a kurti. The store looked beautiful on desktop, but nobody in Dhanmondi shops on desktop. They shop on a 5.5-inch screen at 10pm after dinner, half distracted. They want to tap bKash, type an address near Star Kabab or Rapa Plaza, and be done. My online store development in Dhanmondi is built to close that gap.
Selling online in Dhanmondi sits in a strange middle ground. Your buyers are better off than the Bangladesh average. They have credit cards and they know how shops work abroad. Yet they still choose bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery. Why? Returning a panjabi or a face cream through a card refund in Bangladesh is its own ordeal. So your checkout has to feel premium but behave local. That is what I design for.
I work as one senior developer, not a team. I have built websites and stores for businesses across Dhaka for about five years. Most run on WooCommerce or Shopify, and some are custom. I run the discovery call and sort your product categories myself. I write the checkout copy and wire up the courier API myself too. When something breaks at 11pm on a Friday, you message me, not a ticket queue.
My lowest price for an online store is 50,000 BDT. The tiers are 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT, and fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch. You approve the designs in writing before development starts. That way we do not argue about colours after the cart is built.
This is not a feature list copied from a template seller. Here are six things that decide if a Dhanmondi shopper finishes checkout or closes the tab.
You choose a personal or merchant account, and a payment gateway or a manual confirmation flow. I set it up so a buyer in Dhanmondi 32 can pay in under thirty seconds without leaving your store.
COD is still 60 to 70% of orders for most Dhanmondi brands. I build address checks, partial advance flows and fake-order filters. That way you are not paying Pathao to deliver to a number that never picks up.
I connect Pathao, Steadfast, RedX or Sundarban, based on what your buyers in Lalmatia and Kalabagan really accept. Labels print on their own and status updates flow in. Your packer stops copying and pasting from Excel.
Checkout is designed for a thumb on a 4G connection on Dhanmondi 27. It takes three steps at most. The cart is saved, and autofill does not break on Bangla addresses.
Product titles, category pages and checkout copy work in both languages. Dhanmondi buyers switch languages mid-sentence. Your store should not force them to pick a side.
No project manager translates your idea for a junior. I design, build, launch and fix it myself. I have about five years of doing this, and you get my number, not a support inbox.
The 50,000 BDT build cost is the number you see. The hidden numbers decide if your store survives year one, and most Dhanmondi founders learn them only after launch. Hosting is about 6,000 to 15,000 BDT a year for a server that does not crumble during a Friday sale. A real domain renewal costs about 1,200 BDT. SSL is free if your developer knows what they are doing.
A bKash merchant account is free to open, but it takes a 1.85% cut. Pathao courier costs about 60 to 80 BDT per delivery inside Dhaka, based on weight, plus a small COD fee. Then there is product photography. If you want your panjabis or skincare to look as good as the Daraz versions, a starter shoot in Dhanmondi costs 5,000 to 25,000 BDT.
I tell every Dhanmondi client this upfront. The worst thing for a small store is spending 50,000 BDT on the site with nothing left for photos, ads and the first three months of Pathao bills. When you message me about online store development in Dhanmondi, I walk you through a realistic 12-month number, not just the build invoice.
If your numbers per sale do not work, I will tell you, even if it costs me the project. Agencies skip this part. Their salesperson is paid for closing the deal, not for whether you are still trading a year later.

Here are the six questions Dhanmondi store owners really ask me on the first call.
It starts at 50,000 BDT for a clean WooCommerce or Shopify store with up to about 30 products. That includes bKash, Nagad, COD and one courier link. The mid tier is 90,000 BDT, with a bigger catalogue, more couriers and basic Facebook pixel and Conversions API setup. 1,50,000 BDT covers a deeper custom theme, advanced filters and proper inventory. Fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch.
For most Dhanmondi brands, I recommend WooCommerce. Shopify still has no built-in bKash or Nagad. So you end up with bolted-on fixes, or with international card payments that most local buyers will not use. WooCommerce gives you proper local gateways, COD that works like Bangladeshi COD, and a lower monthly cost. Shopify makes sense if you sell abroad or want its POS for a Dhanmondi 27 retail outlet.
I use three layers. First, an OTP checks the phone number at checkout, so the order will not go through without a real number. Second, orders above a set amount get a phone IVR or quick WhatsApp check before dispatch. Third, repeat offenders are blocked by phone and IP. I build all three into the store as standard. Most Dhanmondi clients see fake orders drop from 20 to 25% to under 5%.
Say your product photos, descriptions and bKash merchant account are ready. Then a 50,000 BDT store launches in 14 to 21 days. The 90,000 BDT tier takes 21 to 30 days, and the 1,50,000 BDT tier takes 30 to 45 days. The code is rarely what slows projects down. Waiting for product content is. So we set a content deadline in the contract to keep the project on track.
I do not run ads. But I set up the tracking properly, so whoever runs your ads is not flying blind. That means Meta pixel, Conversions API and GA4 ecommerce events. They track view content, add to cart, start checkout and purchase, without counting anything twice. Most Dhanmondi stores I take over have none of this set up right. That is why their ad costs look terrible.
I do not hold in-person meetings. We run the kickoff, design reviews and sign-off on Google Meet or WhatsApp. That works better anyway, because we can share screens and study competitor stores together. After kickoff, almost all talk runs through WhatsApp and email. That gives us a written record of every approval.
