Why the same store gets a 25,000 quote and a 90,000 quote
Picture one boutique selling three-piece sets. Two developers quote it. One says 25,000 taka and the other says 90,000. From outside, the stores sound the same: nice product pages, a cart, bKash and cash on delivery. The difference is everything you can't see in a screenshot. In the cheap build, bKash is your personal number printed on the checkout page. A customer pays, screenshots it and messages you on WhatsApp. You spend the evening matching payments to orders by hand.
There's no stock count, so during an Eid push you sell the same item to four people and let down three. Orders land in a shared inbox with no status, so by 9pm you've lost track of what shipped. The 25,000 taka bought a brochure with a buy button, and lost sales cost you the difference within a month. In the 90,000 build, the checkout confirms orders, stock drops on its own, and COD orders go ready to Pathao. You pay for the parts that handle money and orders correctly.
Here's how I keep that price honest. I scope you into the lowest tier that fits how you really sell right now. Say a new shop launches with forty products, manual bKash and Nagad confirmation and cash on delivery. It doesn't need a card gateway or a courier API on day one. So I leave them out, and that store lands near the 50,000 BDT floor. A store already doing real volume is a heavier build. It needs automated payments, live stock, courier handoff and clean order handling.
That build usually costs 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT, and I'll explain why. A ground-up custom platform with unusual logic is where the 3,00,000 BDT range begins. You see the line items every time: catalogue, checkout, dashboard, courier and trust layer. Hosting and domain are a small yearly cost, paid to the provider in your name with no markup. You supply your own product photos and text. The figure we agree is the figure you pay at launch. You can always ask me to cut a line to fit your budget.
