A Shopify store built for Dhaka shoppers, not Shopify's California template gallery.
I set up your Shopify store end-to-end: theme customised for Bangla buyers, COD plus bKash and Nagad workflows, Steadfast or Pathao courier integration, product imports, abandoned-cart recovery, and a checkout that loads on a 3G connection in Mirpur. One operator handling design, dev and launch. From 50,000 BDT.
5 years building stores. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Design-approval guarantee.

Most Shopify stores I'm asked to fix in Dhaka have the same problem: the owner picked a free theme, wired Stripe or PayPal that doesn't accept BDT, and now Instagram traffic bounces because the checkout asks for a ZIP code. The platform isn't wrong. The setup is. Shopify is one of the cleanest ecommerce systems on the planet, but it ships configured for North American merchants — and Dhaka customers behave very differently.
I run Shopify store development as a service, not a template handoff. That means I sit with your products, pricing, courier preference and ad strategy, then build the store around how a 24-year-old in Bashundhara actually shops on a Realme phone at 11pm. Cash-on-delivery as default, bKash and Nagad as confirmed alternatives, courier rates calculated by Dhaka vs outside-Dhaka zones, Bangla product descriptions where they convert better, and a thank-you page that sets the right expectation about delivery timing.
I have built and launched WooCommerce and Shopify stores for around five years from Bangladesh, working solo. No project manager forwarding emails, no juniors testing on your live store. You message me, I reply. You see the design, you approve it, I build it. If you don't approve the design, you don't pay the balance. That is the deal, written into how I quote every Shopify project starting at 50,000 BDT.
If you want a Shopify store that an agency in Dhanmondi will charge you 4,00,000 BDT to set up and a 30,000-BDT monthly retainer to maintain, I'm not your option. If you want a senior person to set it up properly once, hand you the keys, and stay available when something breaks, keep reading.
Not a list of Shopify features (Shopify already lists those). These are the decisions I make for your store specifically because you are selling in Dhaka.
Cash on delivery configured as the default payment method, with phone-number validation and OTP confirmation to cut fake orders — the single biggest cost killer for Bangladeshi Shopify stores.
Manual payment methods set up for bKash personal and merchant, Nagad and bank transfer, with clear instructions on the order-confirmation page and an admin workflow to verify payments fast.
Steadfast, Pathao or RedX wired into the order workflow so you push orders to courier with one click instead of copy-pasting addresses into a Google Sheet at midnight.
Custom-tuned Dawn or paid theme, images compressed and lazy-loaded, third-party apps audited, so a buyer in Mohammadpur on a weak signal sees product pages in under 3 seconds.
Product titles, descriptions and key buttons set up bilingually where it converts — Bangla for FMCG and fashion, English for tech and B2B. I help you decide which, not guess.
I design the store, build it, configure apps, train you on the admin in a 60-minute Zoom call, and hand over login plus a short Loom video so you are never locked in.
The first question every Shopify merchant in Bangladesh hits is payments. Shopify Payments is not available here, so Stripe and PayPal are out by default. You can wire international card gateways like 2Checkout, but realistically 80 to 90 percent of a Dhaka Shopify store's revenue is going to come through cash on delivery, bKash and Nagad. That single fact changes the entire build. Checkout fields need to ask for the right phone format, the order confirmation needs to set delivery expectations honestly (3 to 5 working days for outside Dhaka, 1 to 2 inside), and the admin needs a way to verify a bKash transaction ID before marking an order paid.
The second factor that breaks copy-paste Shopify builds: courier logistics. A Dhaka store moves orders through Steadfast, Pathao, RedX or Sundarban — not Shopify Shipping. So shipping rates have to be calculated by Dhaka City vs outside-Dhaka zones, return-to-sender fees have to be factored into your margin, and the order workflow needs to push to the courier API or a clean CSV export. Get this wrong and you spend 4 hours a day on operations. Get it right and you scale. That is what I set up — not a generic Shopify store, but a Bangladeshi Shopify store that runs cleanly from order one to order ten thousand.

Starting at 50,000 BDT for a clean Shopify launch on Dawn or a similar free theme — up to 30 products, COD plus bKash and Nagad, one courier integration, and a 60-minute training call. 90,000 BDT covers a paid theme with deeper customisation and a larger product import. 1,50,000 BDT covers a full custom-designed store with multi-courier setup, abandoned-cart automation and a custom landing page. Anything bigger or with custom app work starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Shopify works fine in Bangladesh as a platform — the catch is Shopify Payments is unavailable, so you cannot accept cards through Shopify's native gateway. What you can do, and what every working Shopify store in Dhaka does, is run cash on delivery as the default, set up bKash and Nagad as manual payment methods, and optionally add an international gateway like 2Checkout for diaspora buyers. I configure all of that in the base 50,000 BDT package.
Shopify if you want zero hosting hassle, fast launch, and you are okay paying the monthly subscription in USD (roughly 29 to 79 USD per month depending on plan). WooCommerce if you want to keep monthly costs near zero, you already have a WordPress site, or you sell in unusual ways the Shopify app store cannot cover. For most fashion, FMCG and small-batch product brands in Dhaka, Shopify wins on speed-to-launch. I build both — I will tell you honestly which fits your case on the first call.
Standard 50,000 BDT Shopify build is 10 to 14 working days from advance payment, assuming you send product photos, prices and content on time. 90,000 BDT is 3 weeks. 1,50,000 BDT is 4 to 5 weeks. The slowest part is almost always you sending product images and descriptions — I will give you a clear checklist on day one so you know exactly what I need.
It actually works. I integrate either via the courier's official Shopify app (Pathao has one, Steadfast has one) or via a CSV export workflow if no app exists. After launch you select orders in your Shopify admin, click one button, and the order is pushed to your courier dashboard with consignment ID auto-saved back to Shopify. No copy-paste, no Google Sheet.
You don't pay the balance. I send the home page and one product page mockup before any development work. You approve, reject or request changes — unlimited rounds within scope. Only once you sign off in writing do I move to development and ask for the 50% balance on launch. This is the same design-approval guarantee I run on every project, including 50,000 BDT Shopify builds.
