WooCommerce pricing, Chattogram
What a WooCommerce store actually costs in Chattogram — and why the cheap quote is the expensive one
If you have asked three people for a WooCommerce website development price in Chattogram, you have probably gotten three wildly different numbers: 8,000 taka from a student on Facebook, "call our office for a custom quote" from an Agrabad agency that will not name a figure, and something in between that comes with a monthly fee buried in the fine print.
The 8,000-taka quote is not a real store — it is a nulled theme, a free plugin pile, and a checkout that breaks the first time WordPress pushes a security update. You will pay the difference later in lost orders and 2,000-taka monthly rescues. The agency that refuses to name a price is keeping its options open to read your clothes and your office address before deciding what you can afford. Neither is how I work.
Here is the actual floor and ceiling so you can budget before you call. A real WooCommerce store starts at 50,000 BDT — that is the price below which the build stops being honest, because bKash, Nagad and COD set up properly, a clean plugin stack, and a checkout that survives updates simply cost more than a weekend hack.
From there the price scales with the work: 90,000 BDT and 1,50,000 BDT for larger catalogues and more moving parts, and custom builds — multi-vendor, ERP sync, bespoke checkout logic — from 3,00,000 BDT. There is no fourth secret tier and no "premium support" upsell. Whatever number we agree is what you wire, half now and half on launch day.
Chattogram pricing has its own logic, and the build has to respect it. Buyers here open with koto taka before "add to cart," find you on Facebook first, and pay cash on delivery or bKash when the rider arrives — so the cost of the store is tied to getting COD-first checkout, courier handoff to Pathao or Steadfast, and personal-merchant bKash matching right, not to a fancy desktop homepage nobody sees.
A lot of the city's sellers are import-side: goods off the port, electronics from the Reazuddin Bazar chain, clothing a Khulshi or Nasirabad reseller flips online before they own a website. Their store needs to be re-priceable from a phone the moment the supplier rate moves, which is build work, and build work is what you are paying for.
I work alone, and that is precisely why the price is clean. There is no agency floor marking up a junior's work, no project manager's salary baked into your invoice, no sales commission. You ask me koto taka, I quote a number against a defined tier, and the same person who quoted it draws your homepage and writes your WooCommerce checkout. Around five years of shipping stores for Bangladeshi sellers has taught me where WooCommerce stores leak orders, so the money goes into the parts that actually take payments.
And if your real budget is under 50,000 BDT today, I will tell you to stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up rather than sell you a store that cannot do its job — that is sequencing advice, not a brush-off.
