Shopify store development in Chattogram, done by one senior who builds the store to take bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery — not just install a theme and call it a launch.
You have decided on Shopify. The real job now is development: bending a foreign, card-first platform into a store that a Chattogram buyer can pay with bKash, Nagad or cash on the doorstep. I design it, write the Liquid, configure the checkout and wire the local-payment flow myself — no agency floor, no junior on your build. Courier export ready for Pathao or Steadfast, a theme tuned for the mid-range Android your buyer holds in GEC traffic, and an honest count of the monthly USD apps cost before you commit. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, design signed off before any theme work.

Most people who quote shopify store development in chattogram are quoting theme installation. They pick a free or marketplace theme, drop in your logo, paste your products, and hand it back in a weekend. That is configuration, not development.
Development is the part that comes after the theme looks fine on a laptop: making Shopify's card-first checkout accept the way Chattogram actually pays, deciding which paid apps are worth their monthly dollar cost and which are dead weight, writing the Liquid so the product page loads fast on a phone, and structuring collections so a buyer scrolling on 4G finds the right SKU in two taps. The theme is the easy 20 percent.
The other 80 percent is why stores leak orders, and it is what this page is about.
Chattogram trades differently from Dhaka, and a Shopify build has to respect that. This is a port city that has moved goods for generations — Khatunganj wholesalers, Reazuddin Bazar electronics, importers flipping stock off the docks before it cools, Khulshi and Nasirabad resellers running their whole catalogue off Facebook first. The buyer here messages before they trust a checkout, asks koto taka before anything else, and pays cash on delivery or bKash on confirmation far more than card. Shopify out of the box assumes none of that.
So the development work is genuinely local: a manual-payment flow with order-reference matching so transaction IDs line up against orders in your admin, COD set as the default and shown early in checkout instead of buried on the last screen, and delivery zones split so inside-city Agrabad and Halishahar carry different rates from out-of-Chattogram.
Here is the scope, plainly, so you know what 50,000 BDT buys on a Shopify store. A focused store: bKash and Nagad wired into checkout, COD as the default, up to 30 products loaded by me, a theme stripped of paid-app bloat and tuned to first-load under three seconds on a mid-range Android, courier-ready order export for Pathao or Steadfast, and a self-manage admin so you change prices and stock from your phone.
The next tiers are 90,000 BDT (up to 150 products, collections and filters, abandoned-cart recovery) and 1,50,000 BDT (a deeper custom theme and larger catalogue). Fully custom work — heavy Liquid, a custom Shopify app, ERP or inventory sync — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Shopify's own subscription and any paid apps bill separately in USD, and I name that running cost before you pay a taka.
I work alone, and on Shopify development specifically that is the whole edge. The platform hides its hard parts — the Liquid theme code, the manual-payment and COD logic, the app stack quietly billing in dollars — and on a junior-built store those are exactly the parts that fail at the worst moment. With me, the person who answers koto taka is the person who writes the Liquid, configures the bKash flow, and picks up the phone when the store needs a change before a customer arrives.
I am also blunt about fit: if your budget is genuinely under 50,000 BDT, I will tell you to stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up, because Shopify carries a monthly USD cost of its own and a thin store on it is paying foreign rent on something that does not yet earn. Saying that out loud is why Chattogram sellers send me the next build.
Six things that separate real Shopify development from a theme someone clicked together over a weekend. All six are standard from 50,000 BDT — not upsells hidden in a bigger plan.
Shopify ships no bKash or Nagad — wiring it is the development, not an extra. I build a local-payment flow with order-reference matching so transaction IDs line up against orders in your admin, not in WhatsApp screenshots at midnight.
Cash-on-delivery is set as the default and shown early in checkout, not stranded on the final screen — the single biggest reason Chattogram Shopify carts die. Confirmable per order right in your dashboard.
Every paid Shopify app bills monthly in USD and compounds fast. I build with the fewest apps that do the job, cut the trial apps that ambush you weeks later, and name your true running cost before launch.
Theme code stripped of page-builder bloat so the product page first-loads under three seconds on a mid-range Android in CDA Avenue or GEC traffic. A slow store here reads as an unserious seller, and the buyer is already gone.
Orders export Pathao or Steadfast-ready, delivery rates split by zone — inside-city Agrabad, Khulshi and Halishahar separate from out-of-Chattogram. No retyping addresses into a courier panel every morning before stock moves.
The person you ask koto taka writes the Liquid and configures the checkout. No salesman-to-junior handoff, no Dhaka project manager you cannot reach when the store throws a billing banner on a Friday night mid-sale.
A lot of Shopify development requests in Chattogram are not new stores — they are sellers moving off Facebook-plus-bKash, or off a cheap WooCommerce store a Facebook 'developer' abandoned, onto Shopify because they are tired of chasing payment screenshots and manual stock counts. That migration is where development quietly goes wrong. Your existing customers know your Facebook page, your bKash number, the way they have always ordered — and a clumsy switch to a foreign checkout that demands a card scares them straight back to DM-and-cash.
The job is not to dump the old way; it is to make Shopify feel like the same easy order your repeat buyers already trust, just with the late-night screenshot hunt removed. That means the bKash and COD flow has to be the front door, not a workaround buried behind a card form.
When I migrate a Chattogram seller onto Shopify, I move the catalogue and any existing orders cleanly, keep the same bKash and Nagad numbers your customers already recognise, and wire the local-payment flow so the first thing a returning buyer sees is the way they have always paid. COD stays the default. The courier export is set up so your Halishahar and Khulshi deliveries keep running without a hitch from day one.
Design is approved before I write a line of Liquid — that is the design-approval guarantee: you see the homepage and product page and sign them off, so the store you launch is the one we agreed to, not a surprise. Price is locked at 50,000 BDT for a focused store, 50% advance to start and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
And because I name the real monthly Shopify-and-apps USD cost up front, you know the true running number before you ever leave the platform you came from.

Straight answers to what Chattogram sellers actually ask me before sending the 50% advance on a Shopify development job. No agency spin.
Shopify store development chattogram starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused store — bKash and Nagad wired into checkout, COD set as the default, up to 30 products loaded by me, courier-ready order export and a self-manage admin. The next tier is 90,000 BDT (up to 150 products, collections and filters, abandoned-cart recovery). A larger build with a deeper custom theme is 1,50,000 BDT. Anything fully custom — heavy Liquid, a custom Shopify app, ERP or inventory sync — starts from 3,00,000 BDT.
Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. One thing to be clear on: Shopify's own monthly subscription and any paid apps are billed by Shopify in USD, separate from my fee, and I tell you that running cost up front.
Yes, and that gap is exactly the difference. At 15,000 BDT someone installs a free theme, pastes your products, drops in a 'send bKash to this number' note with no order matching, and leaves a couple of trial apps counting down to USD charges. That is configuration. Development is wiring the local-payment flow so transactions match orders in your admin, configuring COD to show early in checkout, cutting the apps that bill in dollars for nothing, and tuning the Liquid so it loads fast on mobile.
The theme is the easy part. The 50,000 BDT buys the work that actually makes a Chattogram store take orders — and if that is genuinely out of budget now, stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up. That is sequencing, not a brush-off.
Correct, Shopify's default checkout is built for international cards and ships no bKash or Nagad — wiring it is the core of the development job, not an add-on. I build a local-payment flow so the customer pays your bKash or Nagad and references the order ID, and the transaction matches against the order in your Shopify admin instead of living in WhatsApp screenshots. Cash-on-delivery is configured as the default and shown early in checkout, since that is still how most Chattogram buyers pay. So your Shopify store takes bKash, Nagad and COD — but only because it is developed to, not because Shopify hands it to you.
Not if the migration is built around how they already order. The risk is throwing a returning buyer at a foreign card checkout they do not trust — that sends them straight back to your DMs. So I keep the same bKash and Nagad numbers your customers recognise, set COD as the default, and make the local-payment flow the front door so ordering feels like what they already do, just without you hunting screenshots at night. I move your catalogue and existing orders across cleanly and keep the courier handoff for Halishahar and Khulshi running from day one. The point of the migration is to remove your manual headaches, not your customers' comfort.
This is the question most cheap builders dodge, and it matters in Bangladesh because Shopify bills in USD to a card. You pay Shopify's monthly subscription plus any paid apps, charged in dollars, separate from my one-time build fee. I develop with the fewest paid apps that actually do the job — every app you do not need is a foreign-currency bill you do not need — and I name your real expected monthly figure before you pay a taka, so no app charge ambushes you weeks after launch. If carrying a monthly dollar cost does not suit you, I will say so and build you WooCommerce instead, which avoids the subscription entirely.
No office visit needed, and most of my Chattogram clients never have one. The whole process runs on WhatsApp, call and screen-share: I design the store, you approve it before any Liquid is written, I build and launch, and after that you reach me directly when a price, product or app needs changing. The difference from a big Dhaka agency is that you talk to the one person who designs, codes and ships the whole Shopify store — not a sales rep who hands you to a junior after signing. For larger builds from 90,000 BDT I am happy to come to your office in Agrabad, GEC, Khulshi or the port area for kickoff and final sign-off.
