Using Magento 2? What are the costs?

What does a Magento 2 webshop cost?

Fair question, and the answer depends on what your shop needs to do. A Magento Open Source installation is free to download, but building a working webshop costs design, development, hosting and maintenance. Below we break down the cost items per component and the choices that influence them.

The software is free, building it is not

Magento Open Source is free to run on your own hosting. The free version comes without support and misses a number of commercial features. Adobe Commerce (the paid edition) offers those, plus cloud hosting, but costs at least tens of thousands of euros per year in licensing. For most SME shops, Open Source is the right choice. Building, configuring and maintaining it requires expertise. That is where the real costs are.

Where the hours go

In a typical Magento project the work is divided into:

  • Analysis and scope
  • Frontend (Hyvä)
  • Backend and integrations
  • Product data and migration
  • Testing and go-live
  • Maintenance after go-live

How many hours each phase takes depends on your catalogue size, B2B flows, integrations (ERP, PIM, marketplace) and how specific your brand needs to look.
