Shopify agency for Bangladeshi brands
Shopify stores for Bangladeshi brands moving beyond Facebook pages: bKash and Nagad checkout, cash on delivery with fewer returns and courier delivery across all divisions.
Shopify experts for Bangladesh brands
Online shopping in Bangladesh grew up on Facebook. Thousands of businesses sell clothing, cosmetics, food and gadgets through pages and groups, taking orders by message and collecting cash on delivery. Daraz is the main marketplace, but as brands grow, managing orders in chat becomes slow and error-prone. A proper store with stock, payments and courier booking built in lets a business scale without losing the personal touch customers are used to.
BOOST STAR Experts builds and grows Shopify stores for Bangladeshi brands, from F-commerce sellers moving to their own website to exporters selling abroad. We connect local gateways for bKash, Nagad and cards, set up cash on delivery and courier integrations and build Bangla and English content. Then we work on Facebook and Instagram campaigns, search visibility and conversion improvements for mobile shoppers.
Selling online in Bangladesh: what your store needs
bKash, Nagad and cash on delivery
Mobile financial services such as bKash, Nagad and Rocket are part of everyday life, and many shoppers prefer them to cards. Local payment gateways such as SSLCOMMERZ bring these wallets, cards and internet banking into one checkout. Cash on delivery still accounts for a large share of orders, so it needs order confirmation and sensible limits.
Digital commerce rules and VAT
The Digital Commerce Operation Guidelines 2021 set expectations for online sellers, including stated delivery timeframes and prompt refunds when orders are cancelled. Businesses need a trade licence and tax registration, and standard VAT is 15%. We build clear delivery, refund and contact information into the store so customers know exactly what to expect.
Couriers built for eCommerce
Pathao Courier, RedX, Steadfast Courier, Paperfly and eCourier specialise in eCommerce parcels and collect cash on delivery for merchants. Delivery inside Dhaka is usually quick, while other districts take longer and cost more. Showing separate charges for inside and outside Dhaka is standard practice, and customers expect it at checkout.
Bangla content and chat habits
Many shoppers are comfortable with English product pages, but Bangla content and ads reach a much wider audience, especially outside Dhaka. Customers often want to confirm details by Messenger or phone before ordering. Eid festivals and Pohela Boishakh, the Bangla New Year, are the biggest shopping seasons, especially for clothing.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Bangladeshi Shopify store accept bKash and Nagad?
Yes, through a local payment gateway that supports mobile financial services, such as SSLCOMMERZ or another aggregator with a Shopify integration. We compare the options for your volumes, set up the gateway and test bKash, Nagad and card payments on mobile before launch.
How can we reduce cash-on-delivery returns?
We add order confirmation by SMS or call, flag suspicious orders, set limits for high-value COD orders and encourage advance payment by bKash with a small discount or free delivery. Clear product photos, size charts and delivery charges also reduce refused parcels caused by mismatched expectations.
We sell on Facebook. Why do we need a Shopify store?
A store lets customers see stock, prices and sizes and order without waiting for a reply. Orders, payments and courier bookings flow into one system instead of notebooks and spreadsheets. You keep selling on Facebook, but each post links to a product page that takes the order for you.
Can you connect our store to Pathao or Steadfast?
Yes. We connect couriers through their APIs or apps so parcels are booked automatically, tracking numbers are sent to customers and cash-on-delivery amounts are passed across correctly. We also set separate delivery charges for inside and outside Dhaka.
What is it like working with a team in India?
Very convenient. We are 30 minutes behind Dhaka, so our working hours match yours almost exactly. Calls happen whenever suits you, and quick changes are often done the same day. We do not have an office in Bangladesh; everything runs online.
