How Much Does It Cost to Start an Online Shop in Bangladesh? Full Breakdown (2026)

The first question everyone asks before starting an online shop is simple: how much will it cost in total? Answers online vary wildly, and most breakdowns quietly skip the hidden costs. This guide walks through each cost item step by step — what you pay once, and what keeps coming back every month or year.

The 4 cost parts of an online shop

1. Domain — your shop's address

Your domain is your website's name and address (like yourshop.com). It renews yearly, and the price depends on the provider you buy from. Owning your domain means the address is your property — not rented space on someone else's platform, the way a Facebook Page is.

2. Hosting — where your shop lives

Your website's files and data live on a hosting server, usually billed yearly or monthly. A small shop can start on ordinary shared hosting and upgrade later as the business grows.

3. Theme or website system — the core of the shop

This is the biggest decision. Catalogue, cart, checkout and order management all run on this system, and there are two models:

• Monthly-rent platforms: a fee every month, for as long as the shop runs. Stop paying, and the shop closes.
• Buy once, own your website: one payment, the license is yours — no monthly fee.

4. Setup and maintenance

After buying a theme, someone has to install it, arrange the shop, add products and configure payments and courier delivery. Do it yourself and this costs nothing; or take a setup service.

Where the numbers land with OrderGate

OrderGate's model is buy once, use it on your own website with no monthly fee.

• For a complete shop: the OrderGate Flagship Theme — a one-time ৳4,999. Catalogue, cart, checkout and order pages together, in Bangla and English, with 240 ready designs across 20 categories to choose from. One purchase, lifetime license — no monthly theme fee.
• For a single-product campaign: a landing theme — ৳999 each, one-time.
• Payments: with OrderGate Pay, customers pay by bKash, Nagad, Upay, Tap or Bangla QR and verification is automatic — no matching TrxIDs by hand.

If you can't set it up yourself

Not everyone is technical, and that's fine. Two options:

• Store Setup Service (৳1,990): our team sets up your complete shop for you.
• Checkout add-on: while buying a theme, add the Complete Setup Service for ৳790, or Setup + Marketing Service for ৳1,990, right from the cart/checkout.

Starting smaller

On a tight budget, you don't need a full shop first. Start with one product and a landing page — a one-time ৳999. When sales grow, move up to the Flagship theme for a complete store. Read more: What is a landing page, when do you need one, and what does it cost?

Good to know before you buy

• License: every OrderGate theme comes with a lifetime license for one live website when you buy it once.
• Refund policy: As a digital product, refunds are generally not offered. However, if a product is defective, a refund will be reviewed within 7 days. Read the full policy in the Help Centre.
• Support: if you get stuck during setup or use, our support team can help — see also how to buy and pay.
