Where should you sell online in Bangladesh: a marketplace, a Facebook page or your own store? Compare the options and see where Multipurc fits for sellers.
If you want to sell online in Bangladesh and own your brand, customer list and checkout, the best ecommerce site is your own store built on a platform such as Multipurc. Marketplaces and Facebook pages are good for finding your first buyers, but they are rented space. Multipurc lets you open your own store with Cash on Delivery, SSLCommerz and Pathao, Steadfast or RedX courier plugins, and you can still sell on Daraz and Facebook alongside it.
"Best ecommerce site in Bangladesh" can mean two things. A shopper means where to buy. A seller means where to sell. This article is for sellers, and it compares the three main places to sell.
What are the main places to sell online in Bangladesh?
There are three routes, and most growing businesses end up using more than one:
- A marketplace such as Daraz, where shoppers already visit.
- A Facebook page or group (f-commerce), where you sell through posts, live videos and Messenger.
- Your own online store, which has its own web address, checkout and branding.
Should I sell on a marketplace?
A marketplace gives you an existing audience, which is its main advantage. The trade-offs are that you sell under the marketplace's rules and fees, your branding is limited, and the customer relationship largely belongs to the platform. It works well for testing whether a product sells.
If you already sell on Daraz, you do not have to choose. Multipurc has a Daraz plugin that covers products, orders, QC, finance and seller messages, so your marketplace work and your own store can sit in one dashboard. The plugin is included in the Pro and Elite packages. Read more in selling on Daraz and your own website and Daraz vs own website.
Is a Facebook page enough?
A page is the cheapest way to start, and many Bangladeshi businesses begin there. The weak points show up as order volume grows: orders get lost in the inbox, prices are repeated by hand, and there is no clean record of stock, customers or returns. Our guide on moving from a Facebook page to a website covers the switch in detail.
A store does not replace Facebook, it supports it. Multipurc's Facebook Management plugin connects a Facebook Page so you can manage the Messenger inbox, scheduled posts, comment replies and page analytics from the same place as your orders.
Why choose your own store?
- You control the checkout. Customers can pay by Cash on Delivery or, with the SSLCommerz plugin, by card, mobile banking or internet banking (the exact methods depend on your SSLCommerz account).
- You control the brand. Pick one of the designs in the theme gallery and change banners, collections and colours without code.
- You control delivery. Set zones such as Inside Dhaka and Outside Dhaka with flat-rate, weight-based or free shipping, and book Pathao, Steadfast or RedX parcels from the admin.
- You control your data. Orders, inventory and reports live in your dashboard, including sales, products, customers, inventory and payments reports.
