Shopify store development service in Chittagong, run by one senior operator from the first call to the day your store takes its first COD order in Agrabad.
I am RH Fardin. I set up Shopify for Chattogram sellers as a full service, not a theme drop: bKash and Nagad wired into checkout, cash-on-delivery as the default, courier handoff to Pathao or Steadfast, and the real monthly dollar cost explained in taka before you commit. The person you ask koto taka is the person who writes the Liquid and ships the store. Shopify stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch.

There is a specific moment that goes wrong for Chattogram sellers on Shopify, and it is not the build. It is the handover. Someone installs a theme, takes the payment, and leaves you with a platform that bills in dollars every month, a checkout that defaults to a card payment your buyer in Halishahar will never use, and an admin you do not know how to drive. The store technically exists. It just does not sell, and there is no one to ask why. A real Shopify store development service in Chittagong is the part most people skip: configuring the platform around how this city actually orders, then handing it over so you can run it yourself the next morning.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer with around five years of full-time work behind me. Shopify is a platform I respect and a platform I am honest about. It is fast, secure and genuinely low-maintenance, but it was built for a buyer with a Visa card in another country, not for a Chattogram trader whose customers message first, ask the price, and pay cash on delivery or bKash on confirmation.
Out of the box Shopify has no bKash button, no Nagad button, and a checkout that hides COD until the last screen. The service I offer is taking that gap and closing it properly, so the store behaves the way a port-city buyer expects rather than the way Toronto does.
My Shopify store development service in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT, and that is the real scope: a clean mobile-first theme, bKash and Nagad wired into checkout through a proper local-payment flow with order-reference matching, cash-on-delivery set as the default and confirmable in your admin, courier-ready order export for Pathao and Steadfast, your first catalogue loaded by me, and a one-hour training call so your shop staff can add a product or change a price without waiting on a developer. The next tiers are 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT as your catalogue and feature list grow, and a fully custom Shopify build with heavy Liquid work or inventory sync starts from 3,00,000 BDT.
I work alone, and for a service like this that is the whole point. You are not buying a one-time build from a salesman and then chasing a junior six weeks later when an app starts charging. You deal with one senior operator from quote to launch to the first time you need a banner swapped for an Eid sale. Terms are 50% advance and 50% on launch, you formally approve the design before I write a single line of theme code, and your Shopify account, domain and admin stay in your name from day one. The shop-development service Chittagong sellers actually need is continuity, and continuity is easier when there is only ever one person on the file.
Six things every Chattogram seller checks before sending the advance. All six ship inside the 50,000 BDT starting service, not sold back to you later as a Shopify app or an add-on.
Shopify has no native bKash or Nagad. I configure a proper local-payment flow with order-reference matching, so transaction IDs line up against orders in your admin instead of getting lost in WhatsApp screenshots.
Cash-on-delivery is set as the default and shown early, not buried on the final checkout screen. That single setting is the most common reason a Chattogram Shopify store quietly loses carts.
The theme is stripped of app bloat and tuned to first-load under three seconds on a mid-range Android stuck in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic, where your buyer is actually deciding whether to order.
Orders export Pathao or Steadfast-ready, with delivery rates set per zone so inside-city areas like Agrabad and Khulshi sit apart from outside-Chattogram. No retyping addresses into a courier panel each morning.
Shopify and its paid apps bill monthly in USD on a card, which is real friction here. I build with the fewest paid apps that do the job and tell you the true running cost in taka before you sign.
You get a one-hour call plus written notes so your counter staff can add products, change prices and swap banners from a phone. The service ends with you in control, not dependent on me for a text edit.
The difference between a Shopify build and a Shopify service is everything that happens after the theme looks finished. A build ends when the homepage loads. A service ends when you can run the store yourself and the platform is configured around how Chattogram actually buys.
This city sells a particular way: a lot of its sellers are import-and-resell traders moving stock through Agrabad and the port-side markets, their buyers find them on Facebook and WhatsApp, ask koto taka, then pay cash on delivery on the doorstep or send a bKash on confirmation.
None of that is the flow Shopify ships by default, so the service is the work of bending a Western platform into a port-city one: COD set first, bKash and Nagad wired with order matching, courier export shaped for how Steadfast and Pathao zone Chittagong, and the catalogue loaded so you launch ready, not with an empty store and a login.
The other half of a real service is what it does to the monthly dollar bill. Shopify charges a subscription in USD, and every paid app stacks another USD charge on top, billed to a card month after month whether the store sells or not. A one-time installer has no reason to care about that, so they leave three trial apps counting down to paid and move on.
I treat your running cost as part of the job: I build with the fewest paid apps that do the work, I tell you the realistic monthly figure in taka before you commit, and I am honest at the first call about whether Shopify is even right for you. For some smaller local-only Chattogram shops, WooCommerce is cheaper to run long term and I will say so before you pay me, because the goal is a store that earns more than it costs, not a platform sale.
Shopify wins for export sellers, dropshippers and anyone who wants a hosted, secure platform that does not crash on their own server mid-sale, and for those sellers I build it properly and hand it over clean.

Straight answers Chattogram sellers ask me on WhatsApp before they commit to a Shopify build.
The service starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused store: bKash and Nagad wired into checkout, COD set as the default, your first catalogue loaded by me, courier-ready order export and a self-manage admin with a training call. The next tiers are 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT as your product count, collections and custom features grow. A fully custom Shopify build with heavy Liquid or inventory sync starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. Note that Shopify's own monthly subscription and any paid apps are billed by Shopify in USD, separate from my fee, and I tell you that running cost up front.
Installing a theme is an afternoon's work and it is the smallest part. The service is the configuration around it: wiring bKash and Nagad into checkout with order-reference matching, setting cash-on-delivery as the default, tuning the theme to load fast on Chittagong 4G, setting courier delivery zones for Pathao and Steadfast, loading your first catalogue, and training you to run it. It ends with a store that sells and an owner who can drive it, not a login and a folder of theme files.
Not out of the box. Shopify has no native bKash or Nagad button and its default checkout assumes an international card. That is exactly the work the service does. I wire in a local-payment flow so a buyer pays your bKash or Nagad and references the order, and it matches against the order in your Shopify admin. COD is set as the default and shown early, because that is still how most Chattogram buyers pay. So yes, Shopify takes all three on your store, but only because it is configured to.
Honest answer: it depends on you. Shopify is a monthly USD subscription plus paid apps billed to a card, which is real friction in Bangladesh, while WooCommerce avoids that recurring dollar cost. What Shopify gives you for it is a hosted, secure, low-maintenance platform that does not crash on your own server during a sale, which suits export sellers and dropshippers well. If you want zero server headaches and can carry the dollar cost, I build Shopify properly. If you want to skip the monthly USD bill, I will tell you so and build WooCommerce instead, rather than sell you Shopify just because you asked for it by name.
No office visit needed. I work with sellers across Bangladesh, plenty of them in Chattogram, over phone and video call. The whole service, design approval, build, launch and post-launch support, runs that way. The difference from a Dhaka agency is that you talk to the one person who designs, builds and ships the store, not a sales rep who hands you to a junior after signing. For larger builds from 90,000 BDT I am happy to come to your office anywhere in Agrabad, GEC, Khulshi or the port area for kickoff and sign-off.
After launch you get a one-hour training call, written documentation for adding products and offers, and 30 days of free fixes for anything I built. After that you can run the store yourself, pay me per task only when something needs changing, or take a small monthly retainer if you would rather I handle it. I do not lock you in, and your Shopify account, domain and admin stay in your name from day one, so you are never held hostage to one developer.
