Shopify store development in Chittagong for sellers who have outgrown a Facebook page and a comment-box order book.
I am RH Fardin, a one-person studio. I design, build and ship your Shopify store myself, from the theme code to the checkout. I tune it for how a Chattogram buyer really orders: she messages first, asks koto taka, then pays by bKash or cash on delivery. No agency, and no junior who installs a free theme and vanishes. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch. You approve the full design before I touch the Liquid code.

Most sellers who ask me about Shopify store development in Chittagong have hit the same wall. The Facebook page works, and orders come through comments and Messenger. An apa or a younger cousin copies addresses into a notebook every night. Then one Eid season the volume breaks the whole thing. Two buyers pay for the same last piece. A bKash number gets typed wrong. Stock you swore was in the godown sold out three days ago.
The business did not fail. It outgrew the tools. That is the moment Shopify makes sense for a Chattogram seller. It is also the moment a badly built store will quietly cost you more than the manual chaos it replaced.
Done properly, Shopify store development in Chittagong is not a theme install. It means rebuilding how your store thinks, so it matches how this port city shops. Your buyer in Agrabad or Khulshi is on a mid-range Android, scrolling in traffic at GEC Circle. She judges a brand by feel in the first few seconds. She wants to see the price, see that cash on delivery exists, and ask one question before she commits.
Shopify out of the box assumes none of that, so the build is where the trust gets earned. That means the theme, the order flow and the bKash and Nagad steps placed where a buyer expects them. It also means a catalogue that loads fast instead of stalling on a heavy hero image.
I am RH Fardin, a website designer and developer with about five years of full-time work behind me. I do every part of a Shopify build myself. The person who answers your first koto-taka message writes the theme code and sets up the checkout. He loads your products and picks up the phone when something needs changing after launch. No salesman hands you to a junior, and no Dhaka project manager forwards your WhatsApp.
That matters for Shopify. Shopify hides its hard parts inside theme code and checkout settings that most installers never open. Those are exactly the parts that break six weeks in.
My starting price for a Shopify store in Chittagong is 50,000 BDT. Tiers at 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT cover a bigger catalogue and deeper theme work. Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch. Under my design-approval guarantee, you formally sign off the design before I write any Liquid code.
I always tell a Chattogram seller one thing straight. Shopify charges its own monthly subscription and app costs, billed by Shopify in dollars and separate from my fee. If your numbers are not there yet, I will say keep selling on Facebook plus bKash. Come back when the volume justifies the rent.
Here are six things that decide whether a Chattogram Shopify store earns or just exists. Every one is built into the 50,000 BDT starting tier. None is sold back to you later as an upgrade.
Custom Liquid sections shaped to your products and brand, not a renamed free theme every other Bangladeshi store also runs. Your shop stops looking like a clone in the first five seconds a Chittagong buyer judges it.
Stock counts drop as orders come in. That ends the double-sold last-piece problem that breaks a Facebook shop at Eid. You get one source of truth, not a notebook and a memory of what was in the godown.
A clear local payment flow shows buyers exactly how to send bKash or Nagad. Cash on delivery is the default and shows early. These are the three ways a Chattogram buyer really pays, set up in the checkout properly.
I strip the theme of app bloat. It opens in a couple of seconds on a mid-range Android in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic. A slow Shopify store looks like a risky seller here. The buyer is gone before the page loads.
The admin is clean enough that whoever packs orders can confirm, fulfil and export thirty COD parcels a day for Pathao or Steadfast. A one-hour training call means your staff never wait on a developer.
The store sits in your own Shopify account, and the theme files are yours. Hosting and admin are in your name from the start. You get full plain-English notes and one training round, so you can run it without me from day two.
Nobody warns a Chattogram seller about the real risk. It is not building the store. It is the handover. You already have buyers, a Facebook following and regulars who message you by name. They trust the person behind the page more than any website. Drop them onto a cold, generic Shopify checkout that demands a card and hides COD, and you lose the warmth that was making the sales.
So when I move a Chittagong seller onto Shopify, my job is to carry that trust across, not replace it. Your product photos and the way you describe stock go into the store. So do the koto-taka and koto-din questions, and the Messenger habit buyers will not drop overnight. A returning buyer feels she is still dealing with you. The difference is that the store does not collapse at Eid.
This city also has a sourcing reality that shapes how I build. Many Chattogram sellers import and resell, pulling stock through Khatunganj, Reazuddin Bazar and the port. What you can get changes week to week. A line can sell out for a month before the next container lands. A store built by someone who never sold here leaves dead, out-of-stock products live. That trains buyers to assume nothing is really available.
I set the store up the way a port-city trader really works. Stock goes unavailable cleanly when it runs out. You can reshuffle collections yourself as new shipments arrive. A back-in-stock path brings a buyer back when the sold-out piece lands, instead of losing her to a rival. That is the difference between a Shopify store that fits a Chittagong business and one clearly built for somewhere else.

These are real questions Chattogram sellers send me on WhatsApp before they commit to a Shopify build.
Shopify store development in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused store. You get a custom theme, a bKash and Nagad payment flow, COD as the default, products loaded by me, courier-ready order export and a self-manage admin. Tiers at 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT cover more. Custom builds with bespoke apps or stock sync start from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% advance and 50% on launch. Shopify's own monthly plan and paid apps are billed by Shopify in dollars, and I tell you that cost upfront.
Move when the manual system starts costing you orders, not before. If Messenger and a notebook still handle sales well, Shopify's monthly dollar cost is rent you do not need yet. I will tell you that straight. But maybe you double-sell stock at Eid, lose track of who paid or spend every evening copying addresses. Then Shopify pays for itself by tracking stock and freeing your time. For a Chattogram seller with steady volume, that point usually lands in the 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT build range.
Yes, all three, but I set them up. They are not built in. Shopify's default checkout is made for international cards. So I add a clear local payment flow where the buyer pays your bKash or Nagad and adds the order number. Cash on delivery is the default and shows early, since most Chattogram buyers still pay that way. You launch ready to accept the three methods your buyers really use, not a card-only checkout that sits empty in this market.
Yes, moving your data is part of the build. I load your current catalogue and sort it into proper collections. I bring across the photos and descriptions you already have, so returning buyers recognise your store. If you keep an order history or customer list in a spreadsheet or another platform, I import what is usable. A regular who has bought from your Facebook page for a year should land on the Shopify store and still feel she is dealing with you.
A focused 50,000 BDT store usually launches in 2 to 3 weeks once your photos, prices and payment details are ready. Mid-tier builds with bigger catalogues and more custom theme work take 3 to 5 weeks. Fully custom Shopify projects take longer, depending on scope. In almost every Chattogram project, the delay is not the coding. It is content from your side. So on day one we agree a deadline for photos and product details to keep the launch on track.
No office meeting is needed. I work with sellers across Bangladesh, many of them in Chattogram, over phone and video calls. You talk to the one person who designs, builds and ships the whole store. You see and approve the design before any theme code is written. After launch you reach me directly to add a product or change a price, not a ticket queue. For larger builds from 90,000 BDT, we hold a proper kickoff and final sign-off on Google Meet or WhatsApp.
