A Shopify store development expert in Dhaka who writes the theme code, not just clicks buttons in the admin.
I plan the catalogue and customize the Liquid theme. I integrate bKash, Nagad and SSLCOMMERZ, and set up COD and Pathao. Then I test it all on a real Android over 4G before launch. You get one senior operator, with no agency layer and no juniors guessing. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch.
About 5 years of building ecommerce for Dhaka brands. You sign off on the design before the final balance. You get a direct line to me, not a support queue.

If you need a Shopify store development expert in Dhaka, you have probably met the quiet gap in this market. It costs store owners real money. On one side are "setup" people. They install a free or ThemeForest theme, paste in your logo, dump in your products and hand over the URL for 10,000-15,000 BDT.
On the other side, you will sooner or later need real development. That might be a section that no theme has, or a checkout that works with bKash and Nagad properly. It might be a courier rate that changes by thana, or a bundle offer a plain theme cannot show. The setup person cannot do that work, so you end up paying twice. This page is for store owners who already know they need the second kind of person.
Being a Shopify development expert is a different job from being a Shopify user. I work in the theme code itself: Liquid templates, sections, blocks, schema, JSON settings, the cart drawer, and checkout extensions where Shopify allows them. I know which of your needs can be solved with twenty lines of code. The other option is a 15 USD a month app that quietly bills your card forever.
Around Gulshan and Banani, I keep getting hired to fix stores where a "developer" installed eleven apps. Those apps do what good theme code does for free. The merchant is losing 120 USD a month on subscriptions before a single sale.
I run this as a one-person operation on purpose. When you hire a development expert through a Dhaka agency, the senior name on the proposal is rarely the person opening your theme.liquid at 11pm. Here, the person who scopes your store also writes the code and sets up the payments. I answer your WhatsApp when a variant will not save. No project manager turns your request into a ticket and loses half of it in the handoff. That single line of responsibility is the whole point.
I have about five years of building ecommerce for Bangladeshi merchants, much of it for Dhaka brands. That taught me where Shopify breaks for this market. Out of the box, Shopify assumes USD, Stripe, card-first buyers and a Western return culture. Dhaka runs on taka and phones. Buyers pay with bKash and Nagad before cards, and cash on delivery is the default. A buyer leaves a slow store on patchy 4G without a second thought.
Making Shopify feel native to that buyer is development work, not settings. That is the work I do. I price it as a flat BDT figure, starting at 50,000 BDT, so you know the number before you commit.
These six things need real development skill on a Dhaka Shopify store. I do every one of them in code, myself.
I build bundle offers, size guides, EMI banners and festival countdowns that no ready-made theme can show. They are proper theme sections you can switch on and off from the admin, not hard-coded hacks.
bKash, Nagad and cards run through SSLCOMMERZ or aamarPay. The fee structure and test transactions are done before launch. Your Dhaka buyer never gets a "sorry, cards only" surprise at checkout.
Where it makes sense, I replace needless 10-15 USD a month apps with theme code. A store I build should cost 35-50 USD a month for platform plus apps, not 150 USD.
Inside-Dhaka, outside-Dhaka and free-delivery rules are wired into Pathao, Steadfast or RedX. So checkout charges the right rate for each zone, instead of one flat fee that eats your margin.
I trim the theme, serve images as WebP and defer scripts. The store loads in under 3 seconds on a mid-range Android over 4G in Mirpur or Uttara, not just on office wifi.
You get the admin, a clean theme with notes, and Loom walkthroughs in plain language. Your team can add products and run campaigns without calling a developer every week.
Here is a test that separates a Shopify store development expert in Dhaka from a setup person. Say you want a "buy 2 get 1 free" offer on Punjabis during Eid. You want a banner that counts down to the deadline, and a cart that applies the discount by itself. A setup person installs three apps, each billing 12-19 USD a month. They fight each other in the cart and slow the store down.
A real developer writes a cart transform or a bit of Liquid and a few lines of JavaScript. It ships as a theme section you can switch on and off yourself, and your monthly app bill does not move. Repeat that choice across a dozen features over a year. Then you see why the cheap setup ends up being the expensive one.
The same logic runs through every integration that matters here. Shopify has no native bKash or Nagad gateway in Bangladesh, so they go through SSLCOMMERZ or aamarPay. Doing that cleanly, with the right COD check and Pathao or Steadfast rates per zone, is development, not a checkbox. So is making the theme load fast enough that a buyer in Dhanmondi on a weak signal does not leave before your hero image appears.
When you sign with me, you approve the design before I write the final integration code. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. You get a store whose code you own. It is documented well enough that any good developer, including a future hire of yours, can pick it up. That is what "expert" is supposed to mean.

These are real questions Dhaka store owners ask me before hiring a Shopify development expert.
Shuru hoy 50,000 BDT theke for a focused store. That covers theme customization, bKash, Nagad and cards through SSLCOMMERZ, and COD. It also covers one courier with inside and outside Dhaka rates, up to about 50 products loaded, and basic Bangla and English. Bigger catalogues, custom sections, multi-courier zones or B2B pricing land at 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT. Fully custom Shopify Plus level builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. You pay Shopify's own monthly fee, about 29 USD for Basic, straight to Shopify.
A setup person installs a theme, adds your logo and products, and hands you the URL for 10,000-15,000 BDT. It is fine until you need something the theme cannot do. A development expert works in the theme code itself, on custom Liquid sections, cart logic, payments, courier routing and speed. An expert solves with code what a setup person solves with five paid apps. If your store only needs the basics, an expert says so. If it needs real features, the setup route makes you pay twice.
I build custom sections in Liquid. Think of bundle and BOGO offers, size guides, EMI or installment banners and festival countdowns. I also build custom product-page blocks, sticky add-to-cart buttons and mega menus your buyers actually use. They ship as proper theme sections with admin settings, so you can switch and edit them without touching code. This is the core of what "development" means. It is why a real developer keeps your monthly app bill low, instead of stacking a subscription for every small feature.
Shopify has no native bKash or Nagad gateway in Bangladesh. So the clean route is SSLCOMMERZ or aamarPay. They give you bKash, Nagad, Rocket, all major cards and bank transfers in one integration. I handle the integration, help with the merchant-account paperwork and explain the fee structure. I also run live test transactions before launch. COD is set up separately with a phone check, so you do not lose money on failed deliveries to repeat fake orders.
Yes, and a good share of my work is exactly this. I do a paid audit for a small fixed fee. I go through your theme code, checkout, app list, speed and payments. Then I tell you honestly whether a 30,000-60,000 BDT fix-up will do, or a rebuild is truly needed. About half the time, removing three needless apps and rewriting a couple of sections in code gets you most of the result. No full rebuild is needed. I do not push rebuilds I do not believe in.
Yes. I work with store owners in Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi and across Dhaka. We hold the kickoff on Google Meet or WhatsApp video before you hand over an advance, so you can see who you are hiring. Have your products, photos and shipping plan ready. Design reviews and final sign-off happen the same way, with screen share where the real development happens anyway. You pay a person you have met on video, not an inbox. You sign off on the design before the final 50% is due.
