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, tuned for how a Chattogram buyer actually orders: messages first, asks koto taka, then pays bKash or cash on delivery. No agency, no junior installing a free theme and vanishing. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, and you approve the full design before I touch the Liquid.

Most Chittagong sellers who ask me about Shopify store development have hit the same wall at the same time. The Facebook page works, orders come through comments and Messenger, an apa or a younger cousin copies addresses into a notebook every night, and 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, and the moment a badly built one will quietly cost you more than the manual chaos it replaced.
Shopify store development in Chittagong, done properly, is not a theme install. It is rebuilding the way your store thinks so it matches the way this port city actually shops. Your buyer in Agrabad or Khulshi is on a mid-range Android, scrolling between traffic at GEC Circle, and she trusts a brand by feel in the first few seconds. She wants to see the price, see that cash on delivery exists, and have a way to ask one question before she commits.
Shopify out of the box assumes none of that, so the build is where it gets earned: the theme, the order flow, the bKash and Nagad instructions placed where a buyer expects them, and a catalogue that loads fast instead of stalling on a heavy hero image.
I am RH Fardin, a website designer and developer in Bangladesh with around five years of full-time work behind me, and I do every part of a Shopify build myself. The person who answers your first koto-taka message is the person who writes the theme code, configures the checkout, loads your products and picks up the phone when something needs changing after launch. There is no salesman handing you to a junior, no Dhaka project manager forwarding your WhatsApp. For a Shopify store that matters, because Shopify hides its hard parts inside theme code and checkout settings most installers never open, and those are exactly the parts that break six weeks in.
My starting price for a Shopify store in Chittagong is 50,000 BDT, with tiers at 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT as your catalogue and theme depth grow, and fully custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch, and you formally sign off the design before I write a line of Liquid, which is the design-approval guarantee.
One thing I will always tell a Chattogram seller straight: Shopify carries its own monthly subscription and app costs, billed by Shopify in dollars and separate from my fee, so if your numbers are not there yet I will say keep selling on Facebook plus bKash and come back when the volume justifies the rent.
Six things that decide whether a Chattogram Shopify store earns or just exists. Every one is built into the 50,000 BDT starting tier, not 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.
Inventory wired so the count drops as orders come in, ending the double-sold last-piece problem that breaks a Facebook operation at Eid. One source of truth, not a notebook and a memory of what was in the godown.
A clear local-payment flow so buyers know exactly how to send bKash or Nagad, with cash on delivery set as the default and shown early. The three ways a Chattogram buyer actually pays, configured into the checkout properly.
The theme is stripped of app bloat and tuned to open in a couple of seconds on a mid-range Android in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic. A slow Shopify store reads as a risky seller here, and the buyer is gone before the page paints.
An admin clean enough that whoever packs orders can confirm, fulfil and export thirty COD parcels a day for Pathao or Steadfast without breaking the store. A one-hour training call so your staff never wait on a developer.
The store sits in your own Shopify account, the theme files are yours, hosting and admin in your name from the start. Full plain-English documentation and one training round so you can run it without me from day two.
The risk nobody warns a Chattogram seller about is not building the store, it is the handover. You already have buyers, a Facebook following, regulars who message you by name and trust the person behind the page more than any website. Drop them onto a cold, generic Shopify checkout that demands a card and hides the COD option, and you do not gain a professional storefront, you lose the warmth that was actually making the sales.
So when I move a Chittagong seller onto Shopify, the job is to carry that trust across, not replace it. The product photos you already shot, the way you describe stock, the koto-taka and koto-din questions your buyers always ask, the Messenger habit they will not give up overnight, all of it gets built into the store so a returning buyer feels like she is still dealing with you, just on something that does not collapse at Eid.
There is also a sourcing reality specific to this city that shapes how I build the store. A lot of Chattogram sellers are import-and-resell, pulling stock through Khatunganj, Reazuddin Bazar and the port, where what you can get changes week to week and a line sells out for a month before the next container lands. A Shopify store built by someone who has never sold here ignores that and leaves dead, out-of-stock products sitting live, which trains buyers to assume nothing is really available.
I set the store up the way a port-city trader actually operates: stock that goes unavailable cleanly when it runs out, collections you can reshuffle yourself as new shipments arrive, and a back-in-stock path so a buyer who wanted the sold-out piece comes back when it lands instead of drifting to a competitor. That is the difference between a Shopify store that fits a Chittagong business and one that was clearly built for somewhere else and handed to you.

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: a custom theme, bKash and Nagad payment flow, COD set as the default, your products loaded by me, courier-ready order export and a self-manage admin. The next tiers are 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT as catalogue size and theme depth grow, and a fully custom build with bespoke apps or inventory sync starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. One thing to budget for separately: Shopify's own monthly subscription and any paid apps are billed by Shopify in dollars, not by me, and I tell you that real running cost before you commit.
Move when the manual system starts costing you orders, not before. If you are still comfortably handling sales through Messenger and a notebook, Shopify's monthly dollar cost is just rent you do not need yet, and I will tell you that straight. But once you are double-selling stock at Eid, losing track of who paid, or spending every evening copying addresses, a Shopify store pays for itself by holding inventory, capturing orders cleanly and freeing your time. For a Chattogram seller doing steady volume off Facebook ads and word of mouth, that tipping point usually lands somewhere in the 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT build range.
Yes, all three, but it is configured in, not native. Shopify's default checkout is built for international cards, so I wire in a clear local-payment flow where the buyer pays your bKash or Nagad and references the order, and cash on delivery is set as the default and shown early since that is still how most Chattogram buyers pay. You launch able to accept the three methods your buyers actually use, instead of a card-only checkout that sits empty in this market.
Yes, migration is part of the build. I load your existing catalogue, organise it into proper collections, and bring across the product photos and descriptions you already have so returning buyers recognise your store. If you have an order history or customer list in a spreadsheet or another platform, I import what is usable. The goal is that a regular who has bought from your Facebook page for a year lands on the Shopify store and still feels like she is dealing with you, just on something built to handle real volume.
A focused 50,000 BDT store usually launches in 2 to 3 weeks once your product photos, pricing and payment details are ready. Mid-tier builds with deeper catalogues and more custom theme work run 3 to 5 weeks, and fully custom Shopify projects take longer depending on scope. The delay in almost every Chattogram project is not the development, it is content on your side, so we agree a deadline for photos and product details on day one to keep the launch on track.
No office visit needed. I work with sellers across Bangladesh, many of them in Chattogram, over phone and video calls, and most never need an in-person meeting. 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, and 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 I am happy to come to your office in Agrabad, GEC, Khulshi or the port area for kickoff and final sign-off.
