Shopify stores for Dhaka merchants who want to sell, not just own a pretty URL.
I offer Shopify store development in Dhaka for buyers who shop on their phones. Your store loads fast on 4G and has a mobile-first checkout. It explains COD, bKash and Nagad clearly. Its product pages turn Facebook ad traffic into real orders.

Many Dhaka merchants hire a "Shopify agency" for Shopify store development in Dhaka. They end up paying for a project manager, a junior theme installer and a markup. Then they chase WhatsApp replies when checkout breaks on Eid sales day. I do the work myself.
I am RH Fardin, a solo Shopify and web developer. I have spent about five years building real stores for businesses in Bangladesh and abroad. The person you talk to on the first call is the person writing the Liquid code and shipping the theme.
Shopify is the platform, not the project. The hard part is making it sell to a Dhanmondi shopper. She is on a mid-range Xiaomi with shaky 4G. She wants to pay cash on delivery, ask one question first and trust a brand she has never heard of. That takes custom theme work, not just picking a Dawn variant.
It also takes a checkout that does not confuse shoppers. Often bKash is the buyer's first choice, but the store only supports card and COD. It means rules for product photos and Bangla-friendly fonts. It means shipping zones that match how Sundarban, RedX and Steadfast really work inside Dhaka and out to other zilas.
I have built Shopify stores for fashion brands selling to Bashundhara and Banani shoppers. I have built them for FMCG resellers whose only traffic comes from Facebook ads. I have built them for import sellers shipping from Old Dhaka warehouses to all 64 districts.
Each store gets the same senior attention. First, a discovery call to understand your product, margin and customer. Then a fixed scope that I will not stretch. Finally, a documented build so you can run it without me on day two.
I price in BDT. I take 50% advance and 50% on launch. I do not vanish after handover. If your Shopify store needs to bring in real revenue in Dhaka, this is the right kind of working relationship.
Not a Shopify template install. A Dhaka-ready store setup: design, custom theme, payment messages, shipping logic and product pages ready for Facebook ads.
Custom Liquid sections built around your products, not a renamed free theme. Within 5 seconds, your store stops looking like every other Bangladeshi Shopify clone.
Shopify does not process bKash or Nagad like a card. So I build clear manual-payment steps and trust messages, and buyers know exactly how to pay. COD stays the default for Dhaka.
Themes tuned for the mid-range Android phones most Dhaka buyers use. Images load as you scroll. The checkout does not stall on patchy Grameenphone connections.
Inside-Dhaka, outside-Dhaka and same-day zones set up properly in Shopify shipping. They are ready to work with Pathao, RedX, Steadfast or Sundarban, whichever you already use.
Product pages built to turn paid Facebook traffic into orders. You get a sticky add-to-cart button, social proof near the top and video-friendly galleries. There is also a "call to order" path for buyers who like Messenger first.
The store moves to your Shopify account and the theme files are yours. You get full notes in plain, Bangla-friendly English. One training round lets your team add products without calling me.
The most common mistake I see in Dhaka is treating Shopify as a one-click platform. Buy a theme, dump in products, run boosted posts and hope. It fails because Shopify is built for a US buyer with a credit card. It is not built for a Mirpur college student paying COD, or a Gulshan housewife sending bKash to a number in your bio.
Buying in Dhaka has extra friction. Buyers ask "koto taka delivery charge?" and "Dhakar baire ki ashe?" They also ask about a bKash discount ("bKash e payment korle discount ache?"). A generic Shopify template answers none of these on the page where it matters.
When I build a Shopify store for a Dhaka merchant, I rebuild how checkout feels. Shipping rates inside and outside Dhaka are clear. bKash and Nagad steps show your merchant number at the right moment. Shoppers who don't trust online checkout yet can order through Messenger instead. Product pages answer the koto-taka and koto-din questions before the visitor has to ask.
The theme stays fast. A high Shopify speed score means little in Bangladesh if your main image is 2 MB. The admin stays simple, so your operations person can handle thirty COD orders a day without breaking the store.

Real questions Dhaka merchants ask me about Shopify before they sign.
Prices start at 50,000 BDT for a focused Shopify launch. That covers a custom theme for one product category, all standard pages, bKash and Nagad payment messages, and Dhaka shipping zones. Most Dhaka merchants spend between 50,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. It depends on catalogue size and how custom the theme needs to be. Fully custom Shopify builds with special apps and complex variants start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Not as card-style gateways. Shopify in Bangladesh does not officially build bKash or Nagad into its standard checkout. What works in practice is a manual-payment method in Shopify, plus clear payment steps. After the buyer places an order, they see your bKash or Nagad merchant number, alongside COD. I set this up properly so buyers are never confused. You can add SSLCommerz or Aamarpay later if you want full card payments.
Yes. Cash on delivery is the default for most Dhaka stores I build. I set up shipping zones for inside Dhaka, outside Dhaka and same-day. I set up COD with the right messages on product and checkout pages. I also shape your order process so your team can hand off to Pathao, RedX, Steadfast or Sundarban without chaos. I do not connect courier APIs by default, since most Dhaka SMEs use courier dashboards directly. I can scope that as an add-on.
Shopify wins if you want to launch fast, never touch hosting and pay Shopify a monthly fee. WooCommerce wins if you want lower long-term cost and more control, and you already have a WordPress site. Many Dhaka brands do 50 to 500 orders a month, mostly from Facebook ads. For them, Shopify is the cleaner choice. It has fewer plugins to maintain, a faster checkout, and it is easier for a non-technical team. I build both, and I will tell you honestly which fits on the first call.
A focused 50,000 BDT launch with a custom theme usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. That starts once your content, photos and merchant payment numbers are ready. Mid-tier stores with bigger catalogues take 3 to 5 weeks. Custom Shopify builds with apps or special checkout steps take 5 to 8 weeks. The biggest delay in every Dhaka project is not development. It is the merchant taking time to send product photos and prices. So we agree on a content deadline on day one.
I focus on building the store, not running your Facebook campaigns. But the store I build is made to convert paid Facebook traffic. It has a sticky add-to-cart button, a Messenger fallback, social proof near the top and fast loading on mid-range phones. I also set up the Pixel and Conversions API, so your media buyer gets clean data. If you want SEO or Google Ads on top, I can scope those separately or recommend someone trustworthy in Dhaka.
