I build Shopify stores for Dhaka brands that need three things. First, a real checkout for bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery. Second, a theme that survives a 2G connection on a mid-range Android phone. Third, a back office their team can actually run. One senior developer handles design, theme code, app setup and launch. No swap to a junior, no template with your logo flipped onto it.
Solo senior Shopify developer. About 5 years on the platform. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, with a design-approval guarantee before any code is written.

A Shopify store development company in Dhaka should fix the same three problems I see in most stores here. First, a US-style checkout confuses a Mirpur buyer. Second, the product page loads four hero videos before the price. Third, the owner can't find yesterday's COD orders without a phone call.
Those are not Shopify problems. They are setup choices a general agency made, because it ships the same theme to a Toronto cafe and a Bashundhara boutique. A Dhaka store needs different choices, and that is where this page starts.
I am RH Fardin, a senior designer and developer who works solo. I have used Shopify for close to five years. I build stores for fashion, accessories, home goods and small electronics brands that sell in Dhaka and ship across the country.
I do the strategy call, the design and the theme work in Liquid. I pick the apps and set up payments and shipping zones. I translate the order status messages and run the launch. You talk to the person who actually clicks Publish.
I do not run a Shopify reseller funnel. I do not push the most expensive plan or the longest list of apps. Most Dhaka brands do under 500 orders a month. For them, Basic Shopify with a tight theme, two or three well-chosen apps and a sharp product page earns more than a move to Plus. I will tell you that on the first call. I won't write a quote that happens to match a higher commission tier.
Pricing is open. A small Shopify store with a focused catalog and a clean COD flow starts at 50,000 BDT. A fuller store with collections, a blog, custom sections and proper conversion work costs between 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. A heavily custom build, a multi-language store or a complex catalog move starts at 3,00,000 BDT.
Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch. If you don't approve the design proofs, we keep working on them until you do. Or you walk away with no code owed.
Shopify is a strong platform. Most of its weak spots in Bangladesh come from lazy setup, not the software. Here is what changes when a senior developer builds your store for the Dhaka market.
Cash on delivery is the default for Dhaka, with named delivery zones for the rest of Bangladesh. Order confirmation calls or WhatsApp triggers are built in. Fake orders drop, and real ones ship faster.
bKash and Nagad run through a tested gateway, with merchant numbers and reference codes that match how Dhaka buyers really pay. It's not a generic Stripe-style checkout that loses 40% of carts.
The theme is tuned for a mid-range Android phone on a 4G or 2G connection in Old Dhaka. Images load as you scroll and apps stay light. The product page loads in under 3 seconds on a slow line.
Collections, tags, locations and shipping zones are well organised. Your team can add products, change prices, run a flash sale and pull a COD report without messaging me at midnight.
Product pages follow the real Dhaka buyer's path. Price comes first, and size and stock are visible. "Koto taka" and delivery time are answered before the buyer scrolls. Trust badges feel local, not foreign.
You get two or three apps that earn their monthly fee: a courier link, a popup or upsell tool, and a review app. No 12-app bloat that slows the store and bills you 8,000 BDT a month forever.
A Shopify store that sells in Dhaka and one that burns ad money rarely differ on theme price or the Plus plan. The gap is in small details. Your home page hero explains delivery time and price range in simple, Bangla-friendly English. It doesn't show a foreign model in a hoodie. Your product page shows the price and size picker near the top. On mobile, a sticky Add to Cart button and a clear cash on delivery option stay in view.
Your checkout asks only for the basics: name, phone, address, area inside Dhaka or division outside it, and payment choice. The order confirmation goes out by SMS in Bangla within seconds. It includes a friendly note that a team member will call to confirm before dispatch. That one call wipes out 30 to 50 percent of the fake-order cost most Dhaka shops quietly absorb.
On the back end, a serious Shopify store development company in Dhaka also sets up what you only notice once you grow. That means a courier link with Pathao, Steadfast or RedX, so labels print without typing. It means a stock feed that doesn't double-sell during a Facebook Live event. It also means shipping zones split into Dhaka City, greater Dhaka and outside-division rates, plus a tax and surcharge setup that matches how you want to bill.
I also leave you a one-page operating guide. It shows how to add a product, refund through bKash, put a collection on sale and pull a weekly sales report. That guide is part of the build, not an upsell.

Real questions Dhaka brand owners ask before hiring a Shopify partner, with straight answers.
Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT for a small Shopify store with a focused catalog and a clean COD setup. A fuller store costs between 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. That includes proper collections, custom sections, conversion work and 2 to 3 apps installed cleanly. Custom Shopify builds, multi-language stores or complex moves start at 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch. Your Shopify plan is separate, and Shopify bills you for it directly.
Properly. I set up bKash and Nagad through a tested local payment gateway. The buyer sees them as a real checkout option and gets a reference code. Your back office sees verified payments. If your brand isn't ready for a gateway yet, I set them up as named manual payment options. They come with clear steps and a confirmation flow, and we upgrade later. I don't pretend the default Shopify checkout is enough for Dhaka.
Yes, this is a large part of my work. I import the product catalog and rebuild collections. I move your customer list over where the data is clean. I set up 301 redirects from old links and rebuild any custom pages. A typical move from WooCommerce or a manual Facebook shop falls in the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tier. The exact price depends on catalog size and whether order history is included.
For most brands doing under 500 orders a month, Basic Shopify is fine. The Shopify or Advanced plan makes sense once you have several staff users, need detailed reports or hit transaction-fee limits. Plus is for brands truly doing taka-crore sales or needing a custom checkout. I will tell you straight which one fits. I won't push you up a tier just to look impressive.
Yes, and you should. I set COD as the default for Dhaka and major divisions, with bKash, Nagad and card as extra options. The build also adds an order confirmation step. That can be an automatic SMS or a manual call routine your team runs. It is the single biggest tool against fake COD orders. Most Dhaka stores win back 5 to 15 percent of margin this way.
Yes. The build includes a short walkthrough video and a one-page guide in plain language. It shows how to add a product, edit a price, run a sale, refund a bKash payment and pull a weekly report. The Shopify admin is truly owner-friendly once it is set up right. I am still on chat if you hit something unusual. But daily running should not depend on me.
