Magento Extension Development

Custom Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce extensions, built to survive upgrades. Fixed-scope pricing, and an honest answer on whether to just buy one instead.

from $3,000 ⏱ 2 to 10 weeks depending on scope πŸ›‘ 90-day post-launch warranty

What's included

Base scope of work β€” applies to all tiers. See the tier comparison below for hours and SLA specifics.

Upgrade-safe code

Built with plugins, observers, and dependency injection instead of core overrides, so it survives the jump from one Magento 2.4.x release to the next.

Standard admin configuration

Settings live in the normal Magento admin under System > Configuration, not a bolted-on panel your team has to learn separately.

Tested before handover

We test on a copy of your store, including the upgrade path, so you find out it works on staging, not in production at checkout.

Clean source and docs

You get the full source, install instructions, and a plain-English note on what it does. Any Magento developer can maintain it later.

Performance-checked

Custom code that runs on every page load gets profiled. An extension that adds 300ms to your cart isn't done, it's a regression.

A real build-vs-buy answer

If a Marketplace extension from Amasty, Mageplaza, or Mirasvit covers your need for a fraction of a custom build, we say so before you spend.

How we work

Transparent process β€” you always know what stage we're at and what comes next.

1

Scope call

We pin down exactly what the extension must do and check whether a Marketplace module already does it. If one does, the project may stop here, and that's fine.

2

Fixed quote

You get a written scope and a fixed price before any code is written. No hourly meter running in the background.

3

Build on staging

We develop against a copy of your store, to your Magento version, with the upgrade path in mind from line one.

4

Test, deliver, deploy

We test, hand over source and docs, and deploy to production with you. The 90-day warranty starts at go-live.

What's NOT included

Scope transparency β€” no surprises in the monthly report.

  • βˆ’ Marketplace listing fees β€” Adobe charges its own fees to list a commercial extension; those are billed by Adobe.
  • βˆ’ Full store builds β€” Building a whole Magento store is a separate service, see Magento development.
  • βˆ’ Theme and frontend redesign β€” Storefront design work is scoped on its own, though an extension can include the admin UI it needs.
  • βˆ’ Ongoing hosting β€” We hand over the code; hosting and server management sit with you or a support plan.

What we'll need from you

Access we require β€” passed via secure channel (1Password / Bitwarden).

  • β†’ Magento admin account
  • β†’ SSH access to staging or a clone of production
  • β†’ Git repository access
  • β†’ Details and credentials for any system to integrate

FAQ

How much does Magento extension development cost?

A single self-contained extension starts around $3,000. An integration extension that connects Magento to an ERP, CRM, or carrier runs about $8,000 to $15,000, and a commercial extension built to pass Adobe Marketplace review starts near $18,000. We quote a fixed price against a written scope before any code is written.

Should I build a custom extension or buy one?

Buy when a Marketplace extension from Amasty, Mageplaza, or Mirasvit already covers your need; a $150 to $400 module beats a custom build every time for common features like SEO, one-step checkout, or blog. Build custom when the logic is specific to your business and no module fits. We check the Marketplace first and tell you honestly.

What's the difference between a Magento extension and a module?

In practice they’re the same thing. A module is the technical unit of code Magento loads; an extension is usually a module (or a few) packaged and distributed, often through the Marketplace. When people say extension they mean a module that adds a feature. We build both, by either name.

Will the extension break when I upgrade Magento?

Not if it’s built properly. The extensions that break on a 2.4.7 to 2.4.8 upgrade are the ones that override core classes. We use Magento’s plugin (interceptor) system, observers, and dependency injection, which are the supported extension points designed to survive upgrades. We also test on the target version before handover.

Can you fix or rebuild an extension another developer wrote?

Yes. A lot of our extension work is rescuing modules that override core, fail on upgrade, or slow the store down. We audit what’s there, tell you whether it’s worth fixing or cheaper to rebuild clean, and quote either way.

Do you work on Adobe Commerce as well as Open Source?

Yes. The extension architecture is the same across Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce, so a well-built extension works on both. If your feature touches Adobe Commerce-only functionality like B2B company accounts, we build against that edition specifically.

Before we quote any Magento extension development, we ask one question: does this already exist on the Adobe Commerce Marketplace? Half the time it does, and a $200 Amasty or Mageplaza extension will do what you need without us writing a line of code. We’ll tell you when that’s the smarter buy. Custom extension development is for the other half: the logic that’s specific to how your business runs and that no off-the-shelf module covers.

When we do build, the rule is simple: it has to survive the next Magento upgrade. Plenty of agencies ship extensions that override core classes and shatter the moment you move from 2.4.7 to 2.4.8. We build with plugins, observers, and proper dependency injection so your custom code keeps working when the platform moves under it.

Before commissioning custom code, check whether an off-the-shelf option already does the job. Here are the Magento extensions we actually install.

90-day warranty from go-live. If the extension breaks on its own or doesn’t do what the scope said, we fix it at no charge.
