An online store for Dhanmondi shoppers that takes bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery without a single hand-off to a junior.
I am RH Fardin. I build online stores for Dhanmondi boutiques, salons, food brands and small importers myself, from product page to checkout to the courier integration. No agency layer, no account manager passing your file to someone you have never met. You message me, I message back. Starts at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance, 50% on launch, and your designs get approved before I write a line of code.
Around five years building real stores in Bangladesh. One senior operator. bKash, Nagad, COD, pathao courier hooked 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 was beautiful on desktop. Nobody in Dhanmondi shops on desktop. They shop on a 5.5-inch screen at 10pm after dinner, half-distracted, and they want to tap bKash, type their address near Star Kabab or Rapa Plaza, and be done. That is the gap I build to close.
Online store development in Dhanmondi sits in a strange middle ground. Your buyers are more affluent than the Bangladesh average, they have credit cards, they have international exposure, but they still default to bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery because 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 been building websites and stores for businesses across Dhaka for around five years, mostly WooCommerce and Shopify, sometimes custom. I do the discovery call myself, I do the product taxonomy myself, I write the checkout copy myself, I wire up the courier API myself. When something breaks at 11pm on a Friday, you message me, not a ticket queue.
My pricing floor for an online store is 50,000 BDT, tiers run 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT, and properly custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Designs are approved by you before development starts, in writing, so we do not end up arguing about colours after the cart is built.
Not a feature list copied off a template seller. Six things that decide whether a Dhanmondi shopper finishes checkout or closes the tab.
Personal or merchant, payment gateway or manual confirmation flow, your call. I wire it up so a buyer in Dhanmondi 32 can pay in under thirty seconds without leaving your store.
COD is still 60-70% of orders for most Dhanmondi brands. I build address validation, partial advance flows and fake-order filters so you are not paying pathao to deliver to a number that never picks up.
Pathao, Steadfast, RedX or Sundarban, picked based on what your customers in Lalmatia and Kalabagan actually accept. Auto label printing, status webhooks, so your packer stops copy-pasting from Excel.
Designed for a thumb on a 4G connection on Dhanmondi 27. Three-step checkout max, persistent cart, autofill that does not break on Bangla addresses.
Product titles, category pages and checkout copy work in both languages. Dhanmondi buyers code-switch mid-sentence. Your store should not force them to pick a side.
No project manager translating your idea to a junior. I design, I build, I launch, I fix. Around five years of doing this, and you have my number, not a support inbox.
The 50,000 BDT build cost is the visible number. The invisible numbers decide whether your store survives year one, and most Dhanmondi founders only learn them after launch. Hosting is roughly 6,000 to 15,000 BDT a year if you want a server that does not crumble during a Friday sale. A real domain renewal runs about 1,200 BDT. SSL is free if your developer knows what they are doing. bKash merchant account is free to open but takes a 1.85% cut.
Pathao courier is around 60-80 BDT per delivery inside Dhaka depending on weight, plus a small COD fee. Product photography, if you want your panjabis or skincare to actually look like the version on Daraz, is 5,000 to 25,000 BDT for a starter shoot in Dhanmondi.
I tell every Dhanmondi client this upfront because the worst thing for a small online store is launching with 50,000 BDT spent on the site and zero budget left for the photos, the ads and the first three months of pathao bills. When you message me about online store development in Dhanmondi, I will walk you through a realistic 12-month number, not just the build invoice. If your unit economics do not work, I will tell you, even if it costs me the project. That is the part agencies do not do because their salesperson is paid on closing, not on whether you are still trading a year later.

The six questions Dhanmondi store owners actually ask me on the first call.
Starts at 50,000 BDT for a clean WooCommerce or Shopify store with bKash, Nagad, COD and one courier integration, up to about 30 products. Mid-tier is 90,000 BDT with bigger catalogue, multi-courier and basic Facebook pixel and conversions API setup. 1,50,000 BDT covers a deeper custom theme, advanced filtering and proper inventory. Truly custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
For most Dhanmondi brands I recommend WooCommerce because Shopify still does not have native bKash or Nagad, so you end up with bolted-on solutions or routing payments through international cards which most local buyers will not use. WooCommerce gives you proper local gateways, COD that actually behaves like Bangladeshi COD, and lower monthly cost. Shopify makes sense if you sell internationally or want their POS for a Dhanmondi 27 retail outlet.
Three layers. One, OTP verify the phone number at checkout so the order will not even submit without a real number. Two, set up an order confirmation IVR or a quick WhatsApp confirmation before dispatch for orders above a threshold. Three, block repeat offenders by phone and IP. I build all three into the store as standard. Most Dhanmondi clients see fake order rates drop from 20-25% down to under 5%.
If you have your product photos, descriptions and bKash merchant ready, a 50,000 BDT store launches in 14 to 21 days. The 90,000 BDT tier is 21 to 30 days. The 1,50,000 BDT tier is 30 to 45 days. The thing that usually slows projects down is not the code, it is waiting for product content. We set a content deadline in the contract so the project does not drift.
I do not run ads, but I set up the technical foundation properly so whoever runs your ads is not flying blind. That means Meta pixel, conversions API, GA4 ecommerce events for view content, add to cart, initiate checkout and purchase, with proper deduplication. Most Dhanmondi stores I take over have none of this set up correctly, which is why their ad costs look terrible.
Yes. I do paid in-person discoveries in Dhanmondi at a coffee shop on Road 27 or near Rapa Plaza, but most clients prefer a video call because we can share screens and look at competitor stores together. Either works. After kickoff, almost all communication runs through WhatsApp and email so we have a written record of every approval.
