Pricing without the runaround
Why Shopify quotes in Uttara swing from 15k to 1.8 lakh for "the same store"
Walk into any Uttara seller group and ask "Shopify store banate koto taka?" and you will get answers a full order of magnitude apart. The reason is not that some people are cheating and others are honest — though some are. The real reason is that "a Shopify store" can mean five completely different jobs. One person means a free Dawn theme with your logo dropped on it and three products. Another means a custom-coded theme with courier APIs, abandoned-cart flows, and a B2B price list. Same two words, same screenshot of a clean dashboard, ten times the work. Until somebody itemises the scope, the price is meaningless — and most Uttara quotes never itemise.
So before I quote a number, I tell you what changes it. The platform you land on (Shopify charges its own USD subscription, separate from anything I touch), the number of products, how much of the theme is custom Liquid versus configured defaults, which courier and payment integrations you need, and whether you want anything that automates after launch — abandoned carts, loyalty, wholesale tiers. Those five levers are the entire pricing story. Everything else is noise designed to make a quote feel bigger than the work behind it.
I run this as a one-person studio. When you ask me the Shopify store development price in Uttara, the figure you get already has my full margin in it because there is no agency stack to feed — no account manager, no junior who builds while a senior bills, no overhead floor I have to clear before I make rent. That is the single biggest reason my floor sits at 50,000 BDT while shops down the road quote 1,20,000 for the same starter scope. You are paying for the build and the person doing it, not for an office in a tower somewhere.
Every project, whatever the tier, runs on the same terms: 50% advance to start, 50% on launch, and a design-approval guarantee. You sign off on the storefront design before I wire up products, checkout, or shipping. If the look is wrong, we revise until it is right — that is not an extra line item, it is how the job works. The price you agree to is the price on the invoice, and I would rather lose the project on the first call than surprise you with a second number after the advance has cleared.
