Shopify store development service in BD, built end to end by one person
Shopify is fast, secure and clean to run, but it was not built for Bangladesh out of the box. There is no Shopify Payments here, no native bKash or Nagad button, and the default checkout assumes card-first buyers. I set up the store, wire local payment gateways, fix the cash-on-delivery flow, and hand you a shop you can actually run from your phone. One senior developer, start to finish.
~5 years building stores. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Design-approval guarantee before a single product goes live.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

I am RH Fardin. I design, build and launch Shopify stores myself. No agency layer, no junior who has never set up a SSLCommerz or aamarPay gateway being handed your project. When you message me, the person replying is the person writing the theme code and configuring your checkout.
Most Shopify problems in Bangladesh are not theme problems, they are local-fit problems. Shopify Payments does not operate here, so card payments need a third-party gateway and that costs you transaction fees Shopify also charges on top. Buyers expect bKash, Nagad, or cash on delivery far more than they expect to type a card number. If the developer does not know this going in, you end up with a beautiful store nobody can pay on.
I have spent around five years building and fixing sites for Bangladeshi businesses, and I treat Shopify as one tool among several. If WooCommerce or a custom build fits your catalogue and margins better, I will say so before you commit. The goal is a store that sells, not a platform sale.
I work in plain Bangla and English, explain the monthly Shopify cost in taka before you sign, and keep the build to a schedule you can plan around. You approve the design before I move to development, and the second half of payment only comes due once the store is live.
Not a template dump. A Shopify store configured for how Bangladeshi customers actually find, trust and pay.
bKash, Nagad and card payments connected through a Bangladesh-supported gateway like SSLCommerz or aamarPay. Buyers pay the way they already trust instead of abandoning at a foreign checkout.
COD is still the default for a huge share of BD orders. I set up COD with order confirmation and courier-friendly fields so you are not chasing fake or duplicate orders all day.
Most of your traffic arrives on a mid-range Android over mobile data. The theme is tuned to load fast and feel right on a small screen, where the actual buying happens.
Shopify charges a monthly fee in USD plus gateway fees. I lay out the real running cost in taka before the build so there are no surprises on your card statement later.
Shipping zones, delivery charges and order export shaped around how Pathao, Steadfast and local couriers actually take parcels, so fulfilment is not a manual mess.
Clear return policy, real contact, working order confirmation and a checkout that does not look foreign. First-time BD buyers decide on trust signals, so I build them in.
Here is the part most people only learn after they have already paid for a store: Shopify Payments, the built-in card processor that makes Shopify so smooth in the US and UK, simply is not available in Bangladesh. That means card payments must run through a third-party gateway, and Shopify still applies its own transaction fee on top of whatever the gateway charges. On the platform side there is no native bKash or Nagad button either, so mobile-money payments have to be added through an app or a custom integration. A store set up by someone who skipped these steps looks finished but quietly loses every customer who reaches the payment screen.
This is exactly where a focused Shopify development service earns its keep. I connect a Bangladesh-supported gateway, get bKash and Nagad working in a way buyers recognise, and configure cash on delivery so your most common payment method is also the smoothest one. I will also be straight with you about the monthly USD subscription: for some catalogues, especially smaller local-only shops, WooCommerce can be cheaper to run long term, while Shopify wins for export sellers, dropshippers and anyone who wants a hands-off, secure platform. You get the right call for your business, then a store built to match it.

Straight answers on price, payments and what running a Shopify store in Bangladesh actually involves.
My pricing starts at a floor of 50,000 BDT for a focused store. The three main tiers are 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT depending on catalogue size, custom design and integrations, and a fully custom build starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. That covers my build work; Shopify's own monthly subscription is separate and I explain it in taka before we start.
Not by default, because Shopify has no native bKash or Nagad button. I add them through a Bangladesh-supported payment gateway or app integration so customers can pay with bKash, Nagad, card or cash on delivery. Getting mobile money working properly is one of the main reasons to hire a developer who knows the local setup rather than using a raw template.
It depends on your catalogue and margins. Shopify is secure, low-maintenance and great for export sellers and dropshippers, but it charges a monthly fee in USD plus transaction fees since Shopify Payments is not available here. WooCommerce can be cheaper to run for small local-only shops. I will give you an honest recommendation before you commit instead of pushing whichever earns me more.
On top of my one-time build fee, Shopify charges a monthly subscription billed in USD, and you also pay gateway transaction fees on card sales plus Shopify's own transaction fee since you are not using Shopify Payments. I work out the realistic monthly running cost in taka with you up front so the recurring spend is clear before you launch.
A standard store usually takes a few weeks once I have your products, photos and brand details. Timeline depends on catalogue size and how much custom design and integration you need. I give you a clear schedule before starting, and you approve the design before I move into development, so there are no surprises near launch.
Directly with me, every step. I am one senior developer with around five years of experience, and I personally handle the design, theme code, payment setup and launch. There is no account manager passing messages and no junior touching your store. You always know exactly who is responsible for your project.
