Shopify agency for Dushanbe brands
Shopify stores for Dushanbe’s craft, textile and food businesses, built to reach customers in the diaspora and abroad as well as at home.
Shopify development and growth for Dushanbe brands
Dushanbe is Tajikistan’s capital and commercial centre, where most of the country’s banks, importers and growing digital businesses are based. The city’s bazaars, including the large Mehrgon market, trade dried fruit, nuts, spices and textiles, and many workshops produce suzani, embroidered clothing and silk. Younger entrepreneurs increasingly sell through Instagram and Telegram, and some are ready to move to proper online stores.
We work with Dushanbe businesses remotely, with almost identical working hours. Typical projects include first Shopify stores for craft and food producers, Russian and English storefronts for buyers abroad, local delivery with cash on delivery for city customers and simple order management that replaces long chats in messaging apps.
What Dushanbe brands need from their store
Suzani and textiles
Hand-embroidered suzani and silk fabrics need detailed photos, sizes and stories about how they are made. We build product pages that show craftsmanship clearly for buyers who cannot see the piece in person.
Bazaar products online
Dried fruit, nuts and spices from Dushanbe’s markets can be sold in gift packs abroad. We set up product bundles, weights and shipping rules suited to food exports and holiday gifting.
From Telegram to a store
Many local sellers take orders in chats. We set up Shopify so customers can browse and order directly, while you still receive notifications and talk to customers in the messaging apps they use.

Frequently asked questions
Can we take local orders with cash on delivery?
Yes. We set up cash on delivery for addresses in Dushanbe, with delivery fees by district and order confirmation messages. Orders appear in Shopify with the customer’s details, so you no longer track them in chat histories.
Can we sell carpets and large textiles abroad?
Yes. We set shipping rates by size and weight, use couriers experienced with bulky items and show delivery times and customs information clearly. For high-value pieces, insurance and tracking options give buyers more confidence.
Are you based in Dushanbe?
No. Our team works remotely from India, only 30 minutes ahead of Dushanbe. We meet by video call during your working day, keep tasks on a shared board and show every change on a staging store before it goes live for customers.
