Custom Project: Tailor-Made Magento Builds

Q: Do I get a fixed price or is it billed by effort?

Both are possible, depending on scope clarity after the discovery call – fixed price or transparent hourly calculation at €30 with a cap.

Q: At what project size does a Custom Project make sense?

As soon as the project goes beyond the standard scope of Shop Rental or Maintenance Packages.

Q: Can a Custom Project later transition into a Maintenance Package?

Yes, that's the normal case after project completion.

Shop Rental and Maintenance Packages cover most requests – but not all. Some projects break every standard mold: a complex SAP integration, a multi-store setup for five countries, custom development that doesn't exist yet. That's exactly what the Custom Project offer is for.

No off-the-shelf fixed price, but a quote that matches your project exactly – following the same transparency principle as all our other pricing.

What Is a Custom Project?

Shop Rental is designed for a fast, predictable start with Magento Open Source. Maintenance Packages keep an existing store running. Custom Project is the third path – for everything beyond that: enterprise projects, complex interfaces, bespoke development, Adobe Commerce consulting, or requirements that no standard package can reasonably cover.

The difference to the other two models isn't quality – everywhere we work with the same transparent hourly rate of €30 – it's the scope and individuality of the project, which would make a flat upfront price dishonest.

Same Foundation, Different Scope

The same fair hourly rate, the same transparency philosophy as Shop Rental and Maintenance Packages – just without the limits of a standard package. Full freedom for Adobe Commerce, deep ERP work, and custom architecture.

Typical Project Examples

A small selection of requests that typically fall under Custom Project:

ERP & SAP Integration

Connecting your existing inventory system, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics.

PIM Integration

Centralized product data management, connected to your Magento store.

Multi-Store & Internationalization

Multiple countries, languages, and currencies in one installation.

B2B Features

Customer-specific price lists, tiered pricing, approval workflows.

Headless & Custom Architecture

Decoupled frontends, GraphQL APIs, individual system landscapes.

Adobe Commerce Consulting

Enterprise features, shared catalogs, complex approval workflows.

Why Isn't There a Fixed Price Here?

Because we mean it when we say transparency. An ERP integration can take three days or three months – depending on the system, the interfaces, the data volume, and your requirements. A fixed price we'd quote without knowing these details would either be calculated far too high (to be safe) or a lowball offer that later explodes with change orders. Both contradict our pricing philosophy.

Instead, after a short, free discovery call you get a real effort estimate at our known hourly rate of €30 – either as a fixed-price quote (if the scope is clear enough) or as a transparent hourly calculation with an agreed cap. That way, neither you nor we carry an incalculable risk.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Projects

Does the discovery call cost anything?

No, the discovery call is free and non-binding. Costs only arise once we jointly decide to move forward with scoping or implementation.

Do I get a fixed price or is it billed by effort?

Both are possible. If the scope is clear enough after the discovery call, you get a fixed price. For projects with a lot of unknowns, we calculate transparently by the hour at our known €30 rate, with an agreed cap.

At what project size does a Custom Project make sense?

As soon as your project goes beyond the standard scope of Shop Rental or Maintenance Packages – whether through system depth (ERP, PIM) or feature scope (B2B, multi-store, Adobe Commerce). When in doubt, just clarify it in the discovery call.

Can a Custom Project later transition into a Maintenance Package?

Yes, that's actually the normal case. After project completion, we often take over ongoing care through one of our Maintenance Packages.
