An ecommerce website for your shop, made by saying it in Bangla
Describe your online shop in Bangla and get the ecommerce site: products, prices, a cart, delivery charges, cash on delivery and orders on WhatsApp.
- Make an ecommerce website for my online sari shop, Nakshi Anchal. Jamdani, tant and katan in separate categories, a cart, and different delivery charges inside and outside Dhaka.
- I sell pure honey, ghee and date molasses from home; the page is called Gramer Shad. Make an online shop site with cash on delivery, and orders coming in on WhatsApp.
- A mobile accessories shop in Chattogram called Gadget Kona. Make a catalogue of chargers, covers and earphones, with a search box at the top and sorting by price.
Can I make my own ecommerce website without knowing how to code?
Yes. Write your shop's name, the products and prices, the delivery charge and your WhatsApp number in Bangla, and the AI builds the shop site with photos, categories, a cart and a running total. Orders arrive as WhatsApp messages and are paid cash on delivery. Building and publishing are free; keeping orders in a site inbox takes a one-time hosting fee.
Three steps to an ecommerce website
- Have your product list ready: Each product's name, price and category. Start with four or five; once you like the look, add the rest a batch at a time.
- Write it in Bangla and the AI builds the shop: Photos, category filters, a cart, a total with the delivery charge and an "Order on WhatsApp" button, in a few minutes.
- Publish and place an order yourself: Press Publish, place an order from your own phone to check the message goes to the right number, then pin the link on your Facebook page.
From inbox orders to an ecommerce website
Selling on Facebook means living in the inbox: quoting the same price again and again, sending photos, then copying each customer's name, phone and address by hand. An order that came in at night is buried under new messages by morning.
On your own ecommerce website every product sits in one place with its price and photo. Customers choose, fill the cart, see the total and send you a message with the whole order written out. Your part is packing and sending.
What your ecommerce website will have
- A photo, name, price and short description for every product. With no price given the AI invents none, and the space says what to fill in
- Filters by category; ask and you get a product search box at the top too
- A cart and a total, with the delivery charges inside and outside Dhaka that you give
- Cash on delivery, and an "Order on WhatsApp" button that writes the message with the cart's list
- Give your shop's address and opening hours in the site manager and Google is told about them separately
- A design that works on a phone first, because customers arrive from Facebook on their phones
How an ecommerce site takes payment
Most customers in Bangladesh still want to pay when the parcel is in their hands, so cash on delivery stays. To take money up front, add your bKash, Nagad and Rocket numbers in the site manager; the order page gets the numbers and a TrxID box, with no AI or Token.
On the Business plan you can put your own bKash Merchant or SSLCommerz payment link on the site's button. Which way suits when is in the online payment guide.
Ecommerce orders: storage, notifications and couriers
On a free site orders arrive as WhatsApp messages. To keep them in one place, take lifetime hosting: orders from the site's forms land in the site inbox, up to 25 a day, the first 5 each day are emailed to you, and you can turn on phone notifications for new orders.
For a busy shop, Business takes 100 orders a day, sorts the inbox into new, seen and done, and exports a CSV that opens in Excel. Commerce takes 500 a day and adds a courier file in Steadfast's or Pathao's own layout, uploaded to their panel in one go, and an SMS to the buyer when an order arrives (through your own SMS gateway account, billed separately).
What an ecommerce website costs
Building and running it are free: you build and change the shop on up to 400,000 free AI Token a day, it goes live at your-name.banglacodes.app, and orders come in on WhatsApp. Up to 3 sites stay live for free at once.
For your own domain and the site inbox, lifetime hosting is 6,999 BDT once, for life, with no renewal. For a bigger shop, Business is 14,499 BDT and Commerce 23,999 BDT, both with lifetime hosting included, and moving from Business to Commerce costs only the difference. There is no monthly rent and no commission on sales; the domain's yearly fee, the courier and the SMS are paid to those companies. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Your online shop's name, logo and banner
No shop name yet? Write in the chat "give me ten short Bangla names for my online sari shop" and the AI lays some out. Before you settle on one, check that nobody already has a Facebook page by that name.
Once the name is set, make a logo: the AI gives three styles, and the site manager puts the one you choose on the site. For your Facebook cover and offers, make a banner; the Bengali text goes in a real font, so the letters never break.
What an ecommerce website here will not do
- Take card payments inside the page; use a gateway's payment link, or your bKash and Nagad numbers, instead
- Customer logins or accounts; ordering needs no account, which is simpler for the buyer anyway
- Run WordPress or WooCommerce, because no server code runs on this hosting
- An order's prices come from the customer's phone, so check the prices once before sending out a big order
Questions about ecommerce websites
How much does an ecommerce website cost?
Building it and publishing it at a banglacodes.app address are free, and orders come in on WhatsApp. To keep orders in the site inbox or run on your own domain, lifetime hosting is 6,999 BDT once. For a courier file and SMS to buyers, Commerce is 23,999 BDT, also paid once.
Can I make an ecommerce website for free?
Yes. Products, a cart, delivery charges and orders on WhatsApp all work on a free site. What free does not do is keep orders from the site's forms; take hosting for that.
How do I take bKash payments on my shop site?
Save your bKash number in the site manager and the order page gets the number, a copy button and a TrxID box. The customer sends the money and writes the TrxID, it arrives with the order, and you check it in your bKash app.
How will I know on my phone when an order comes in?
On a free site the order itself arrives on your phone as a WhatsApp message. With hosting, orders in the site inbox are emailed to you, and you can turn on phone notifications for new orders in the site manager.
Can orders go to Steadfast or Pathao?
On the Commerce plan the inbox gives you a file in Steadfast's or Pathao's own layout to upload to their panel in one go. On the plans below it, you enter the order details in the courier's panel by hand.
How do I change a product's price or photo?
Open the site manager, change the price, name or photo and save; it goes onto the live site with no AI or Token. To add a new product or category, say so in the builder in Bangla.
Can I run an ecommerce website from my phone?
Yes. Building, changing prices, reading orders and publishing all work in the phone's browser. No computer needed.
Does BanglaCodes take a commission on my sales?
No. The customer's money goes straight to you, to your bKash or to your gateway; we are not part of that payment. What you pay us is only for hosting or Token.
