Shopify expertise, Chattogram-specific
Most "Shopify experts" in Chittagong have never opened the theme file once
The store you inherited is half a store. Someone in Chattogram sold you a Shopify site for 20,000 BDT, installed a free Dawn theme, dropped your products in, and disappeared. Now the bKash bridge times out at checkout, the homepage looks like every other theme on the city's Facebook reseller pages, and the one app that was supposed to make COD work is quietly billing you in dollars every month. When you ask the person who built it to fix the Liquid, they go quiet, because they never wrote any. That is the gap between a Shopify setup person and a Shopify store development expert, and in Chittagong almost everyone selling the second is delivering the first.
An expert is the person you call when the problem is not visible from the dashboard.
Shopify's checkout is locked unless you are on Plus, so a real expert knows what can be changed in the theme and what cannot, where to put a bKash-Nagad bridge so it does not break on a mid-range Android, and how to write a Liquid section that shows a port-city buyer the price, the delivery charge and the COD option in the first scroll — because in Chattogram the first message is always koto taka and the second is delivery koto.
If your developer cannot tell you, in plain terms, why your store is leaking orders, they are not an expert. They are a theme installer with a nicer invoice.
Chattogram runs on import and resell. A Khulshi reseller flips electronics that came off the Reazuddin Bazar supply chain; an Agrabad trader moves home goods through the port and sells them on before they think about a website; a Nasirabad shop changes prices the day the supplier rate moves. A generic Shopify build does not respect that — it assumes steady stock and credit-card buyers. Expert-level work means the catalogue takes fast SKU and price edits from your phone, the variants do not break when you swap a supplier, and the store does not pretend you are a funded startup in Banani. This is the part the cheap setup never touches, because it requires actually understanding the trade.
I work alone, and that is the whole pitch. I am the person who quotes you, draws the homepage, writes the theme code and pushes it live — there is no junior doing the real build while a senior bills for it, and no project manager in Dhaka you chase by phone. About five years of building and rescuing stores for Bangladeshi sellers, including the import-and-resell crowd this city is built on, is what tells me where these stores actually fail. If your budget is genuinely under 50,000 BDT, I will tell you to stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up. That is honest sequencing, not a sales line.
