I build Shopify stores for Dhaka brands that need a real checkout for bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery, a theme that survives a 2G connection on a mid-range Android, and a back office their team can actually run. One senior operator handles design, theme code, app setup and launch. No junior swap, no template flip with a logo.
Solo senior Shopify operator. 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.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Most Shopify stores I open in Dhaka have the same three problems: a US-style checkout that confuses a Mirpur buyer, a product page that loads four hero videos before the price, and an admin where the owner cannot find yesterday's COD orders without a phone call. Those are not Shopify problems. Those are setup choices a generalist agency made because they ship the same theme to a Toronto cafe and a Bashundhara boutique. A Shopify store development company in Dhaka should make different choices, and that is where this page starts.
I am RH Fardin, a senior designer and developer working solo from Bangladesh. I have been on the Shopify platform for close to five years, building stores for fashion, accessories, home goods and small electronics brands selling in Dhaka and shipping nationwide. I do the strategy call, the design, the theme work in Liquid, the app picks, the payment and shipping zone setup, the order-status localisation and 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 app stack. For most Dhaka brands doing under 500 orders a month, Basic Shopify with a tight theme, two or three carefully chosen apps and a sharp product page does more for revenue than a Plus migration. I will tell you that on the first call instead of writing a quote that conveniently matches a higher commission tier.
Pricing is open: a small Shopify store with a focused catalog and clean COD flow starts at 50,000 BDT, a fuller store with collections, blog, custom sections and proper conversion work lands between 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT, and a heavily custom Shopify build, multi-language, or a complex catalog migration starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch. If the design proofs do not get your approval, we keep iterating until they do or you walk with no code obligation.
Shopify is a strong platform. Most of its weaknesses in Bangladesh come from lazy setup, not the software. Here is what changes when a senior operator builds your store for the Dhaka market specifically.
Cash-on-delivery configured as the default for Dhaka and named delivery zones for the rest of Bangladesh, with order-confirmation calls or WhatsApp triggers wired in so fake orders drop and real ones ship faster.
bKash and Nagad set up through a tested gateway with merchant numbers and reference codes that match how Dhaka buyers actually pay, not a generic Stripe-style checkout that loses 40% of carts.
Theme tuned for a mid-range Android on a 4G or 2G connection in Old Dhaka, with lazy-loaded images, light apps and a product page that loads under 3 seconds on a slow line.
Collections, tags, locations and shipping zones organised so your in-house team can add products, change prices, run a flash sale and pull a COD report without messaging me at midnight.
Product pages built around the real Dhaka buyer journey: price-first, size and stock visible, koto taka and delivery time answered before the buyer has to scroll, trust badges that feel local not foreign.
Two or three apps that earn their monthly fee: a courier integration, 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.
The difference between a Shopify store that converts in Dhaka and one that drains ad spend is rarely the theme price or the Plus plan. It is the small operating details. Your home page leads with a hero that explains delivery time and price band in plain Bangla-friendly English, not a foreign model in a hoodie. Your product page shows the price and size selector above the fold, with a sticky Add to Cart on mobile and a clearly labelled cash-on-delivery option.
Your checkout asks for the bare minimum: name, phone, address, area inside Dhaka or division outside, and which payment they prefer. Your order confirmation goes out by SMS in Bangla within seconds, with a friendly note that a team member will call to confirm before dispatch, because that single call is what kills 30 to 50 percent of the fake-order tax most Dhaka shops quietly absorb.
On the back end, a serious Shopify store development company in Dhaka also sets up the things you only notice once you are scaling: courier integration with Pathao, Steadfast or RedX so order labels print without typing, an inventory feed that does not double-sell during a Facebook Live event, automated shipping zones split by Dhaka City, greater Dhaka and outside-division rates, and a tax and surcharge setup that matches how you actually want to bill. I also leave you with a one-page operating doc covering how to add a product, how to refund through bKash, how to put a collection on sale and how to pull a weekly sales report. That doc 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 clean COD setup. A fuller store with proper collections, custom sections, conversion work and 2 to 3 apps installed cleanly lands between 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. Custom Shopify builds, multi-language or complex migrations start at 3,00,000 BDT. Terms are 50% advance, 50% on launch. Your Shopify plan subscription is separate and billed directly by Shopify.
Properly. I set up bKash and Nagad through a tested local payment gateway so the buyer sees them as a real checkout option, gets a reference code, and your back office sees verified payments. For brands not ready for a gateway yet, I configure them as named manual payment options with clear instructions and a confirmation flow, then upgrade later. I do not pretend the default Shopify checkout is enough for Dhaka.
Yes, this is a large part of my work. I import the product catalog, rebuild collections, port over your customer list where the data is clean, set up 301 redirects from old URLs and rebuild any custom pages. A typical migration from WooCommerce or a manual Facebook shop runs at the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tier depending on catalog size and whether order history is in scope.
For most brands doing under 500 orders a month, Basic Shopify is fine. Shopify or Advanced makes sense once you have multiple staff users, need professional reports or are hitting transaction-fee thresholds. Plus is for brands genuinely doing taka-crore scale or needing checkout customisation. I will tell you straight which one fits, not push you up a tier to look impressive.
Yes, and you should. I configure COD as the default for Dhaka and major divisions, with bKash, Nagad and card as additional options. The build also includes an order-confirmation step, either an automatic SMS or a manual call workflow your team runs, which is the single biggest lever against fake COD orders. Most Dhaka stores claw back 5 to 15 percent of margin this way.
Yes. Part of the build is a short walkthrough video and a one-page operating doc in plain language covering how to add a product, edit a price, run a sale, refund a bKash payment, and pull a weekly report. Shopify admin is genuinely owner-friendly once it is set up correctly. I am still on chat if you hit something unusual, but day-to-day operations should not depend on me.
