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 are wired into checkout, and cash on delivery is the default. Orders hand off to Pathao or Steadfast. I explain the real monthly dollar cost in taka before you commit. The person you ask "koto taka" is the person who writes the Liquid code and ships the store. Shopify stores start at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch.
From 50,000 BDT. bKash, Nagad and COD set up. 50% advance, 50% on launch, design approved first. About 5 years shipping stores solo.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

A good Shopify store development service in Chittagong fixes the moment that goes wrong for Chattogram sellers. That moment is not the build. It is the handover. Someone installs a theme, takes the payment, and leaves. You are left with a platform that bills in dollars every month. The checkout defaults to a card payment your buyer in Halishahar will never use. And you do not know how to drive the admin.
The store does exist. It just does not sell, and there is no one to ask why. The real service is the part most people skip. It means setting up the platform around how this city really orders. Then it means handing it over so you can run it yourself the next morning.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer with about five years of full-time work behind me. I respect Shopify, and I am honest about it. It is fast, secure and truly low-maintenance. But it was built for a buyer with a Visa card in another country. It was not built 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 and no Nagad button. Its checkout hides COD until the last screen. My service closes that gap properly. The store then behaves the way a port-city buyer expects, not the way a buyer in Toronto does.
My Shopify store development service in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT, and that is the real scope. You get a clean mobile-first theme. bKash and Nagad are wired into checkout through a proper local-payment flow with order-reference matching. Cash on delivery is the default, and you confirm it in your admin. Orders export ready for Pathao and Steadfast. I load your first catalogue myself.
You also get 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. 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. You will not chase a junior six weeks later when an app starts charging. You deal with one senior operator from quote to launch. That includes 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. Your Shopify account, domain and admin stay in your name from day one. What Chittagong sellers really need from a shop-development service is continuity. Continuity is easier when only one person is ever on the file.
Six things every Chattogram seller checks before sending the advance. All six come inside the 50,000 BDT starting service. None are sold back to you later as a Shopify app or an add-on.
Shopify has no built-in bKash or Nagad. I set up a proper local-payment flow with order-reference matching. Transaction IDs line up with 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 last checkout screen. That one setting is the most common reason a Chattogram Shopify store quietly loses carts.
I strip the theme of app bloat and tune it to load in under three seconds on a mid-range Android. Your buyer may be stuck in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic, deciding whether to order.
Orders export ready for Pathao or Steadfast, with delivery rates set per zone. 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. I tell you the true running cost in taka before you sign.
You get a one-hour call plus written notes. Your counter staff can add products, change prices and swap banners from a phone. The service ends with you in control, not needing me for a text edit.
A Shopify build and a Shopify service differ in everything after the theme looks finished. A build ends when the homepage loads. A service ends when you can run the store yourself, with the platform set up around how Chattogram really buys. This city sells in a certain way. Many sellers are import-and-resell traders moving stock through Agrabad and the port-side markets.
Their buyers find them on Facebook and WhatsApp and ask "koto taka." Then they pay cash on delivery at the door or send a bKash on confirmation. Shopify does not ship that flow by default. So the service bends a Western platform into a port-city one. COD comes first. bKash and Nagad are wired in with order matching. Courier export fits how Steadfast and Pathao zone Chittagong. The catalogue is loaded, so you launch ready, not with an empty store and a login.
The other half of a real service is the monthly dollar bill. Shopify charges a subscription in USD. Every paid app stacks another USD charge on top, billed to a card every month whether the store sells or not. A one-time installer has no reason to care. They leave three trial apps counting down to paid and move on. I treat your running cost as part of the job. I use the fewest paid apps that work, and I give you the real monthly figure in taka first.
I am also honest on 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. I will say so before you pay me, because the goal is a store that earns more than it costs. Shopify wins for export sellers, dropshippers and anyone who wants a hosted, secure platform. It will not crash on their own server mid-sale. For those sellers, I build it properly and hand it over clean.

Straight answers to what Chattogram sellers ask me on WhatsApp before they commit to a Shopify build.
The service starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused store. That includes bKash and Nagad in checkout, COD as the default, your first catalogue loaded by me, courier-ready order export, and a training call. The next tiers are 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT as your products and features grow. A fully custom build with heavy Liquid or inventory sync starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. Shopify bills its subscription and paid apps in USD, apart from my fee. I tell you that cost up front.
Installing a theme takes an afternoon, and it is the smallest part. The service is the setup around it. I wire bKash and Nagad into checkout with order-reference matching and set cash on delivery as the default. I tune the theme to load fast on Chittagong 4G. I set courier delivery zones for Pathao and Steadfast, load your first catalogue, and train 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 built-in bKash or Nagad button, and its default checkout expects an international card. That is exactly the work the service does. I wire in a local-payment flow. A buyer pays your bKash or Nagad and adds the order reference. It then matches the order in your Shopify admin. COD is the default and shown early, because most Chattogram buyers still pay that way. So yes, Shopify takes all three on your store, but only because I set it up to.
Honest answer: it depends on you. Shopify is a monthly USD subscription plus paid apps billed to a card. That is real friction in Bangladesh, and WooCommerce avoids that dollar cost. What Shopify gives you is a hosted, secure, low-maintenance platform. It will not crash on your own server during a sale, which suits export sellers and dropshippers. If you want zero server headaches and can carry the dollar cost, I build Shopify properly. If not, I will build WooCommerce instead, even if you asked for Shopify by name.
No office trip needed. I work with sellers across Bangladesh, many of them in Chattogram, over phone and video call. The whole service runs that way: design approval, build, launch and support after launch. Kickoff and sign-off happen on Google Meet or WhatsApp, whether you trade from Agrabad, GEC, Khulshi or the port area. Unlike a Dhaka agency, you talk to the one person who designs, builds and ships the store. You never get a sales rep who hands you to a junior after signing.
After launch, you get a one-hour training call and written notes for adding products and offers. You also get 30 days of free fixes for anything I built. After that, you can run the store yourself. You can pay me per task when something needs changing. Or you can take a small monthly retainer if you would rather I handle it. I do not lock you in. Your Shopify account, domain and admin stay in your name from day one, so no developer can hold you hostage.
