How to Write Product Prices on Your Bangladeshi Website

Say you run an online clothing shop from a small room in Uttara, and you finally launch a proper website instead of just taking orders on a Facebook page. You upload pictures of your new cotton panjabis, and right beside the photo, you type $25. Your cousin in London might understand that, but the person scrolling on a cheap Xiaomi phone in Sylhet has to pause and do mental math. Most times, they will simply close the browser tab.

Bangladeshi buyers want to see Taka. They want to see Tk 2,500 or BDT 2,500 instantly. The moment a customer has to guess your currency, friction creeps into the transaction. Keep it simple, use local currency, and remove any doubt about what the number actually means.

Nothing angers a customer in Dhanmondi quite like adding a product to the cart for Tk 1,200, going through the whole order form, and then suddenly seeing a surprise courier fee on the final screen. They feel tricked. Even if Pathao or Steadfast charges 100 Taka for delivery inside Dhaka, hiding that cost until the very last second causes abandoned carts.

State your delivery policy right near the price. Write something like Tk 1,200 plus delivery. Or even better, if you include delivery inside the price, mention free delivery in Dhaka. Buyers appreciate honesty long before they click the order button.

Everyone loves a sale. In the local market, seeing a slashed price creates an immediate sense of urgency. But if you cross out Tk 5,000 and write Tk 500, nobody believes you. It looks like a low-quality imported item from a shady Facebook sponsor ad.

Keep your discounts realistic. If your regular price is Tk 1,500 and you are running a weekend promotion for Tk 1,200, show the old price with a clean line through it and highlight the new price in a bolder color. Clear visual hierarchy helps the buyer instantly recognize the savings without feeling cheated.

Managing prices, stock levels, and customer orders manually in a Messenger chat gets messy once you get past 5 or 10 sales a day. You spend hours answering the same question over and over: Bhai, price koto?

With OwnCraft, you can set up a clean, fast website where your prices, variations like size and color, and payment details are visible 24 hours a day. It takes minutes to set up, runs smoothly on low-end mobile data, and lets you focus on packing orders rather than typing prices in chat.
