Cost + timeline for a food/grocery Magento build, realistic numbers?

Contact me on WhatsApp for a quote. I reply within one working day with scope, price and timeline.

Honest ranges from 10+ shipped food/grocery stores:

  • Greenfield Magento + Hyvä for a meal-kit brand (cold-chain routing + Recharge subs + same-day slot booking + FDA labels + 1 region): k build, 12-20 weeks. Optional ongoing retainer for the first year.
  • Shopify → Magento migration for a $5M specialty grocery (existing catalog migrate + batch tracking + B2B supply + same-day): $60k, $140k, 16-28 weeks including parallel-run cutover.
  • Multi-region food brand (US + UK + EU + IN labels + cold-chain in 2 regions): $110k, $220k, 24-36 weeks.
  • Adobe Commerce upgrade for a $25M+ food brand (B2B Companies module + cold-chain + multi-warehouse FEFO): k build + $40k, $80k/yr Adobe licence.

What pushes cost up: number of regions (each adds 2-4 weeks for label templates + carriers + tax), B2B complexity (multi-buyer companies + Net-30 + POS integration adds 4-8 weeks), recall-workflow drill testing (1-2 weeks of UAT + ops training), warehouse count (multi-warehouse FEFO is 2-3x the build of single-warehouse).

What keeps cost down: starting with Hyvä (saves 4-6 weeks of theme work), using Recharge instead of building subscriptions, using off-the-shelf slot extensions for <500 orders/day, starting with one region and expanding.

I quote in writing within 48 hours of the consultation form, ranges, not point estimates, with the assumptions called out. Submit and you’ll see the format.
