You have probably been quoted everything from 8,000 taka to two and a half lakh for "the same thing" and you cannot work out why. Here is the honest answer to online store development price in Sylhet: fixed tiers from 50,000 BDT, exactly what each tier builds, and the handful of things that genuinely move the number once you are paying for real engineering instead of a Facebook-marketplace template. I am RH Fardin, one senior solo developer who designs, writes and ships the whole store himself - no agency, no juniors, no salesman padding the figure. 50% advance, 50% on launch, and you approve the full design before any code is written.
Floor of 50,000 BDT, tiers at 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000, custom from 3,00,000. Fixed quote, no hidden line items. One senior operator, ~5 years building Bangladeshi online stores. Full design approved before a single line of code.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

The reason no two quotes match in this city is that almost nobody is quoting the same job. A boy working from a laptop near the Zindabazar point says 8,000 taka and shows you a slider, a product grid and a buy button on a free theme. A Dhaka agency hears "online store" and floats two lakh-plus for a build that is often the same template with a retainer stapled on. Both are quoting what you can see - the homepage - and neither is quoting what a store actually is, which is the part you cannot see: the code that closes a sale on bKash, the cash-on-delivery flow that does not lie about who has paid, the order dashboard your own staff can run without phoning the developer every week. So before you compare two online store development prices in Sylhet, you have to know they are pricing the same machine. This page exists so you can. I will tell you what the number buys at each tier and the exact things that push it up, so you stop comparing a finished store to a screenshot of one.
Here is the question almost every Sylhet seller actually opens with: online shop banate koto taka? It is a fair question and it deserves a fair number, not "depends, bhai." The reason "depends" is a non-answer is that on a real store, very little of the cost is the look. Making a catalogue look clean is the cheap, fast, visible part - and it is the part the 8,000-taka quote is selling you. The cost lives in the plumbing: wiring bKash and Nagad so a payment matches the right order instead of you verifying screenshots by hand at midnight, a cash-on-delivery flow that only marks an order paid when the rider confirms handover, a courier export so your staff stop retyping every address, and an admin panel a non-technical person in your shop can actually operate. That is engineering, it takes senior hours, and it is the entire difference between a store that takes the money and ships the parcel and a page that quietly drops orders while the owner thinks business is slow.
There is also a choice most Sylhet first-timers do not realise they are making when they shop on price: build versus rent. You can list on Daraz or run a Shopify subscription and pay a slice of every sale or a monthly fee forever - and for someone testing whether a product even sells, that is honestly the smarter first move, so do that before you spend a taka on a custom build. But the moment you are doing steady volume, that commission and that monthly rent stop being cheap. A development price is a one-time number for a store you own outright - your domain, your hosting, your customer data, your bKash settling straight into your own account with no marketplace clipping it on the way. The 50,000 BDT floor can look high next to a free Daraz listing right up until you add up a year of commission on real orders; past a certain volume, owning the store is simply cheaper than renting space on someone else's. That is the comparison that actually matters in Sylhet, not 8,000 taka versus 50,000.
When you hire me, the person who quotes the price is the person who writes the checkout, wires the payments, connects the courier and ships it - and answers when something breaks six months later. There is no salesman lowballing to win you and then a junior you never meet who breaks the bKash matching, and no Dhaka tower-office overhead - account managers, a margin on every hour - baked silently into your figure. That is the honest reason my online store development price in Sylhet undercuts a Dhaka agency for comparable work: you are paying one senior operator with around five years of building Bangladeshi online stores, not a building full of people. And the number holds. 50,000 BDT for a focused store that genuinely works. 90,000 BDT for the build most growing Sylhet shops land on. 1,50,000 BDT for a heavier catalogue with more payment and courier muscle. From 3,00,000 BDT when the brief is genuinely custom. Always 50% advance to start and 50% on launch - bKash, Nagad or bank transfer - and the full design approved before I write a single line of code, so the final invoice never lands bigger than the quote.
Six things that make the number make sense for a Sylhet seller tired of vague "koto lagbe, bhai" quotes - every one engineered in from the 50,000 BDT floor, not hidden inside a pricier package.
50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT are on the table from the first WhatsApp message, custom from 3,00,000. You pick the scope your store needs and pay that figure - no number invented after they have seen your shop or heard your volume.
The price is the price. No "that feature is extra," no surprise launch-day invoice, no monthly fee to a developer who holds your store hostage. The only things you pay separately are your own domain, hosting and gateway transaction fees - told to you upfront.
The cost is in the parts no demo shows: bKash and Nagad matched to the right order, a COD flow that marks paid only on rider handover, courier export so nobody retypes addresses. That engineering is why 50,000 BDT buys a store and 8,000 buys a screenshot.
One development price for a store in your name - your domain, your hosting, bKash settling into your own account. Past real volume that beats a year of Daraz commission or a forever Shopify subscription. You stop paying rent on someone else's platform.
Most of your orders land on a mid-range Android over mobile data, in Bandar Bazar traffic or out in the upazila. The store is built light so the catalogue loads and the checkout survives the buyer hitting back on a weak signal - the exact thing cheap themes fail.
The person on your first message writes the checkout code and picks up when it breaks. No salesman-to-junior handoff that quietly breaks payment matching, and no Dhaka agency margin sitting hidden inside the figure you were quoted.
When a Sylhet seller asks koto taka, what they really want is to compare two quotes honestly, so let me lay the tiers out by what gets built rather than by vague "package" names. At 50,000 BDT you get a focused, properly engineered store: a clean mobile-first catalogue of up to roughly 50 products, one payment gateway live so bKash or Nagad genuinely closes the order, one courier wired with a real cash-on-delivery flow that marks paid only on handover, and an admin panel your own staff run in Bangla mixed with English without calling me every week. That fits a Sylhet shop finally moving off Facebook-comment ordering - a clothing or panjabi seller around Bandar Bazar, a sweet or grocery shop, a single-brand store that needs the basics to actually work, not just look like a shop. At 90,000 BDT, where most growing Sylhet stores land, the build carries more weight: a bigger catalogue with proper categories and search, product variants for size and colour, bKash plus Nagad from day one with payment matching on both, a second courier option, and the early SEO groundwork so you surface for "your product + Sylhet" instead of paying Facebook ads forever just to be seen and sitting invisible behind the Dhaka results.
The 1,50,000 BDT tier is where the store starts pulling real weight: a heavier catalogue with advanced filters, bundle or combo pricing, multiple payment methods, customer accounts with order history and stock control, abandoned-order follow-up, and a stronger admin so in-house staff run orders and refunds without touching code. That is the tier a larger single-brand store around Zindabazar or Ambarkhana, a grocery or hamper business, or a multi-category seller genuinely needs once order volume is steady and the basic store is straining. Past that, from 3,00,000 BDT, the work is custom and built from a blank canvas - and a Sylhet brief lands there for honest reasons: marketplace logic with multiple vendors, a subscription or recurring-order flow for a grocery service, deep inventory across more than one warehouse, ERP or POS sync, or a store that has to behave like a small business system rather than a shop. Note what is deliberately NOT on this ladder: the 8,000-to-10,000-taka "online store" sold on Facebook. That is a nulled theme, a cart that silently fails on bKash, no real courier setup, and a page that crawls on the exact mobile data your buyers use. The floor for online store development Sylhet BD sellers pay me is 50,000 BDT because that is honestly the least it costs to build a store that takes the money and ships the order in this city - and the cheaper number is not a discount, it is a different, broken product.

Building an online store starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused, properly working shop - a mobile-first catalogue of up to roughly 50 products, one payment gateway so bKash or Nagad actually closes the order, one courier with a cash-on-delivery flow that marks paid only on handover, and an admin your own staff can run. 90,000 BDT is the build most growing Sylhet stores choose: a bigger catalogue, variants, bKash plus Nagad, a second courier and early SEO. 1,50,000 BDT covers a heavier catalogue, advanced filters, customer accounts and stock control. Genuinely custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is always 50% advance and 50% on launch, and you see the exact tier and what it includes before you commit a single taka - that is the whole online store development price in Sylhet, with nothing waiting to be added later.
Because you are paying for a built store, not a demo of one. The 8,000-taka version is almost always a nulled theme with no real payment integration, a cart that silently breaks the moment a customer tries bKash, no courier setup, and a page that loads in 8 to 9 seconds on local mobile data - so the order never completes and you never even know it walked. At 50,000 BDT the engineering is the product: bKash genuinely closes the sale and the payment matches the order, the admin edits products without calling me, and Pathao or Steadfast is wired in with a working cash-on-delivery flow. The cheap one quietly costs you the orders it drops, month after month; this one is built to take the money and ship the parcel. That gap is the entire point of the price - it is not the same thing for more money, it is a different thing that actually works.
If you are still testing whether a product sells, do exactly that first - a marketplace listing or a monthly platform is the smarter, cheaper way to prove demand before you spend a taka building. The maths flips once you are doing steady volume. Daraz takes a commission on every order and a Shopify-style subscription is rent you pay forever, and on real Sylhet order numbers that quietly adds up to more in a year than a one-time build. A development price buys a store you own outright - your own domain, your own hosting, bKash settling straight into your account with no marketplace clipping it, and your customer data is yours, not the platform's. So the honest answer is: rent while you are unsure, build once the orders are steady - and by then 50,000 BDT one time is cheaper than another year of commission.
The checkout, almost every time, and it surprises sellers who assume they are paying for how the store looks. Making a catalogue look good is the cheap, visible part. The hours go into the parts no demo shows: wiring bKash and Nagad so a payment matches the right order instead of being verified by hand at midnight, building a cash-on-delivery flow that only marks an order paid when the rider confirms it, connecting Pathao or Steadfast so orders export clean, and building an admin a non-technical person in your shop can run. That plumbing is most of what separates a 50,000 BDT store that works from a 10,000-taka one that drops orders. When I quote you, you are paying for that engineering - not for a slider and a logo.
Yes, and it is engineered in, not charged as an extra. Plenty of Sylhet stores sell well beyond the city - Beanibazar, Golapganj, Jagannathpur, Bishwanath, Companiganj - so I wire in a courier so orders export instead of being retyped, build a cash-on-delivery flow that marks the order paid only once the rider hands it over, and at the higher tiers set up zone-aware shipping so a delivery to Sylhet town and one to a village an hour out are not priced the same by accident and quietly eating your margin. The 50,000 BDT tier covers one courier and a working COD flow; the 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers add a second courier and proper zone-based rules for wider upazila coverage. None of that is a surprise line on the invoice - it is part of the tier you picked.
No - it is 50% advance to start and 50% on launch, never the full amount upfront, and there are no hidden design or development fees on top of the fixed quote. The advance secures your slot and covers the design phase; you pay the balance only once the store is built, approved and ready to go live on your own domain. What sits outside the build price, and I tell you these numbers upfront: your own domain, your own hosting, your payment gateway's own transaction fees to bKash or Nagad, and any premium plugin licence you choose. You can pay me by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. And because you sign off the full design before I write any code, you never pay that second half for a store you have not already seen and approved - the quote you agree to is the number you pay.
