Online store development in Gulshan: bKash, Nagad and courier-ready, built so a buyer in Banani can check out from her phone in under a minute.
I am RH Fardin. I personally design, code and ship every online store for Gulshan brands. There are no junior handoffs, no template-and-pray builds and no agency layer that vanishes after launch. Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT. You pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch, with a written design-approval guarantee before any code is written.

Most online store development in Gulshan fails in the same place. Somebody hands you a beautiful Figma file. Then a junior in another room wires it to a half-broken bKash plugin and disappears after handover.
By month two, COD orders are cancelling because nobody set up Pathao properly. The cart breaks on iPhone. The WhatsApp number on the site rings a phone nobody owns anymore. I have rebuilt enough of these stores to know exactly what goes wrong.
I work the way Gulshan founders actually want to work: one person, one phone number, one inbox. I run the discovery call and draw the wireframes. I plan the product structure and build the checkout. I set up bKash and Nagad, wire in the Pathao or Steadfast courier, and add the Google and Facebook pixels.
I also run the handover training after launch, in Bangla or English. There is no account manager. There is no junior. There is just me, for the entire build.
After about 5 years, I have learned that the stores that survive in Gulshan are not the prettiest ones. A busy buyer in Banani DOHS or Baridhara lands on a product page from a Facebook ad. She chooses a size, pays with bKash and gets a courier SMS, all without pinch-zooming on her phone. That is what I build.
Pricing is fixed and printed. A starter store costs 50,000 BDT, a growth store 90,000 BDT and an advanced store 1,50,000 BDT. Custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch. If you do not approve the design comps, we do not move to development. That is written in the contract.
Here are six things I do differently from the typical Dhaka agency or freelancer marketplace hire.
You get real merchant bKash and Nagad checkout, not a screenshot-and-hope flow. I handle the merchant account paperwork, sandbox testing and the switch to live, so the first real order works.
Pathao, Steadfast or RedX is linked at the order level. When a Gulshan or Banani buyer checks out, the parcel is created on its own with weight, address and COD amount. Nobody has to copy and paste.
About 80% of Gulshan buyers check out on a phone. So every form, cart and payment button is made for a thumb, not a desktop mouse. I test on real Android phones and iPhones, not just Chrome devtools.
I set up Facebook Pixel, Conversions API, Google Ads tag and GA4 the right way. They track view-content, add-to-cart and purchase events. Your media buyer or agency can scale spend from day one.
Pages show real photos, size charts, a return policy in Bangla, courier fees by city and a working WhatsApp button. Gulshan shoppers cross-check on Instagram before they pay, so your site has to match.
You get an hour-long walkthrough in Bangla or English. After it, you can add products, update prices, mark orders shipped and pull a sales CSV without calling me. A recorded video handover is included.
Gulshan is not a normal Dhaka neighbourhood for online selling. Your buyer is on the latest iPhone. She pays for parking at Unimart with one tap. She has three other tabs open, comparing your saree, skincare or imported snack with a Daraz seller and an Instagram boutique.
She does not want to call you. She wants to add to cart, pay with bKash or Nagad, and get an SMS that says her parcel is on the way with Pathao. If any of those four steps stutters, she leaves. Then you paid for the Facebook ad for nothing.
That is the bar this build is made to clear. The starter store at 50,000 BDT covers up to about 25 products and a mobile-perfect checkout. It has bKash or Nagad live, one courier, order-status SMS and basic SEO. It also has GA4, Facebook Pixel and a Bangla return-policy page. The 90,000 BDT growth tier adds stock tracking, discount codes, abandoned-cart recovery, multiple couriers and product reviews.
The 1,50,000 BDT advanced tier is the full Gulshan-ready setup. It adds multiple payment methods, multiple couriers, Conversions API, a blog and a polished brand page. That page holds up against the imported-brand sites your customers compare you with. Custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT are for catalog-heavy stores or B2B portals. Those need wholesale pricing, distributor logins or ERP sync.

Six honest answers to what Gulshan founders ask before they hire me to build an online store.
Prices are fixed and printed. A starter store costs 50,000 BDT. That covers up to about 25 products, bKash or Nagad, one courier and a mobile-perfect checkout. The growth tier is 90,000 BDT. The advanced tier is 1,50,000 BDT, with full payment and courier coverage. Custom catalog-heavy stores or B2B portals start from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch. There is no hidden tier-up after we start.
Live. I help you apply for the bKash and Nagad merchant accounts and handle the API credential exchange. I run sandbox payments, then switch to live with a 1 BDT test order before customers use it. Sometimes the bank delays your merchant account. Then I ship the store with a temporary manual-payment flow. I switch to live the day the credentials arrive, at no extra charge.
Yes. I link Pathao, Steadfast or RedX directly to the order screen. The parcel is created on its own with the correct Gulshan, Banani or Bashundhara address, COD amount and weight. You click ship, the courier picks up and the buyer gets an SMS. If you want hyperlocal same-day delivery for Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara, I can add Pathao Tokai on top.
If you get under 30 orders a month, inbox is fine. Past that, you lose money to dropped messages, wrong addresses and no pixel data for your ads. A store at 50,000 BDT pays for itself in two months. That happens once you stop copying addresses by hand and start retargeting buyers who left their carts. I will tell you honestly on the discovery call if you are not there yet.
A starter store (50,000 BDT) takes 2 to 3 weeks from the advance payment, if product photos and copy are ready. Growth (90,000 BDT) takes 3 to 4 weeks. Advanced (1,50,000 BDT) takes 4 to 6 weeks. Custom work is scoped per project. The clock pauses while I wait on your photos, bKash paperwork or design approval. That is the most common cause of delay in Gulshan projects.
You get 30 days of free support after launch for bugs and questions. That includes the order-flow walkthrough in Bangla or English and a recorded handover video. After that, I offer a monthly care plan. It covers hosting, security updates, small content edits and a monthly performance check. Or you can pay per task if you have your own developer. You have my WhatsApp the whole time, not a ticket queue.
