We’re currently still running on M1 and will be starting development of a new site soon. Still in the early stages of deciding on a platform/partner agency at the moment. M2 meets our needs like M1 did so we are considering staying on Magento. We did however have a poor experience with M1 so are also considering other options like BigCommerce, which so far seems to check all the boxes as well.
My question is if anyone here that built similar sites could provide insight on what kind of development cost we can expect if we decide to go with M2? I’ll provide info on our current set-up below. We’ll be speaking to several Magento agencies as well to get a better idea.
Info on our current situation:
- We do 2M+ revenue per year of which 1M of that runs directly through the M1 shop. The rest of the revenue comes from custom orders made manually in our ERP & physical store purchases.
- We have 10K+ SKUs of which 2.5K actually in stock at the minute.
- Around 500 products will need to be customizable
- We have 240 product attributes and 91 different attribute sets to manage all product data and filters.
- We have an integration with our ERP system. These days this integration is being offered by multiple vendors in the market for M2, so will probably not have to create it from scratch like we did with our M1 shop..
- We have several other integrations (multichannel, shipping, email marketing apps) which all seem to be available for M2 as well.
- Currently we run just the one local site, but we do have ambition to take our shop abroad in the future.
Anyone here built out similar shops and would care to give some insight on what kind of development cost we can expect? Thanks! 🙂
