B2B Ecommerce Agency Pricing
What agencies charge, why the quotes vary fourfold for the same brief, and the costs that arrive after the contract is signed. Every figure is sourced or labelled an estimate.
B2B ecommerce agency pricing spans four models: fixed-price projects (roughly $25,000–$500,000), monthly retainers ($3,000–$20,000), dedicated teams ($15,000–$60,000 per month), and time-and-materials at $50–$250 per hour depending on region and seniority. Elogic Commerce publishes $50–99 per hour with a minimum engagement around $25,000; most other figures here are analyst estimates.
The Four Engagement Models
Unless a row is marked Sourced, ranges below are B2B TechSelect analyst estimate, July 2026 and describe B2B-specialist implementation agencies, not freelancers and not global systems integrators.
| Model | Typical range | Best for | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-price project | $25,000–$500,000+ per phase
Analyst estimate, Jul 2026 |
Well-specified first builds and replatforms with a bounded integration scope | Under-specified integrations return as change requests; fix scope before price |
| Monthly retainer | $3,000–$20,000 per month
Analyst estimate, Jul 2026 |
Post-launch support, optimisation, and a steady small-change backlog | Unused hours policies differ; check rollover and response-time terms |
| Dedicated team | $15,000–$60,000 per month for a 2–5 person pod
Analyst estimate, Jul 2026 |
Multi-quarter roadmaps where continuity and domain knowledge compound | Utilisation is your risk: an idle pod bills like a busy one |
| Time & materials | $50–$250 per hour by region and seniority
Analyst estimate, Jul 2026 Reference point: Elogic Commerce publishes $50–99/hr, min ~$25,000 Sourced: elogic.co / Clutch profile |
Discovery, audits, and integration work where unknowns are genuine | Needs your own backlog discipline; cap monthly spend contractually |
Hourly Rates by Region and Seniority
All cells are B2B TechSelect analyst estimate, July 2026, formed from published directory rate bands (method below). The single sourced anchor: Elogic Commerce — HQ Tallinn, delivery centres in Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltics — publishes a $50–99/hr band, which sits inside the CEE/Baltics row as expected.
| Region | Mid-level developer | Senior developer / integration engineer | Solution architect |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | $100–150 | $150–200 | $180–250 |
| Western Europe / UK / Nordics | $90–130 | $120–180 | $150–220 |
| CEE / Baltics | $40–70 | $60–100 | $90–130 |
| South & Southeast Asia | $25–45 | $35–70 | $60–100 |
| Latin America | $35–60 | $50–85 | $75–120 |
Estimate methodology: ranges were formed by triangulating the rate bands and minimum-engagement figures that agencies publish on Clutch directory profiles across B2B-focused implementation firms in each region, anchored to the one band we could source directly (Elogic Commerce, $50–99/hr, minimum ~$25,000, per elogic.co and its Clutch profile) and rounded to planning-grade ranges. A live Clutch API pull was not available at publication, so directory figures reflect manual checks made in July 2026.
What Actually Drives the Price
Two briefs that read identically can be quoted $80,000 apart. The variance is almost always one of these:
- Number of ERP connections. Each system — a second ERP after an acquisition, a separate WMS, an EDI network — adds its own mapping, environments, and regression testing. This is the largest single multiplier and the first question a serious agency asks.
- Catalogue complexity. 500 simple SKUs and 120,000 configurable products with customer-specific visibility rules are different projects wearing the same word "catalogue".
- Portal feature depth. Contract pricing, RFQ, approval chains, account hierarchies, and PunchOut each add engineering and — more expensively — testing across role-permission combinations.
- Data quality. If product data needs cleanup before a PIM can hold it, that work is priced separately once the agency sees the data — never assume it is inside the build quote.
- Governance requirements. Audited change control, staging environments mirroring production, and formal release management add cost that integration-heavy programmes should not skip.
The Hidden Costs
Budget lines that recur in post-mortems because they were absent from the original quote:
- Connector and middleware licensing. Prebuilt ERP connectors and integration platforms are commonly licensed per year, separately from agency fees — an annually recurring line that outlives the project (B2B TechSelect analyst estimate, July 2026: commonly $5,000–$30,000/year depending on connector and volume).
- Data cleanup and catalogue normalisation. Frequently surfaced mid-project; insist on a data audit during discovery so it is priced before contract, not after.
- Post-launch support. A monthly commitment, not an implied warranty. If the quote has no support line, the price is incomplete.
- Platform licence uplifts. B2B editions, order-volume tiers, and additional storefronts can raise the platform subscription independently of anything the agency charges.
- Internal time. Product data owners, ERP administrators, and a decision-making product owner on your side are unpriced in every agency quote and indispensable in every successful programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a B2B ecommerce agency charge per hour?
Published directory bands run roughly $50 to $250 per hour depending on region and seniority. The one directly sourced figure on this page: Elogic Commerce publishes $50–99 per hour with a minimum engagement around $25,000, per elogic.co and its Clutch profile. North American specialist agencies commonly list $150–199; Western European firms $100–200; Central and Eastern European engineering-led firms $40–100 (B2B TechSelect analyst estimates, July 2026).
What is a realistic budget for a first ERP-connected B2B storefront?
As a planning range, $75,000–$250,000 for a single-ERP, single-storefront first phase, and $250,000–$500,000 and beyond once PunchOut, EDI, multiple ERP connections, or multi-brand storefronts stack up (B2B TechSelect analyst estimate, July 2026). Specialist minimums set the floor: Elogic Commerce, for example, publishes a minimum engagement around $25,000, which buys a bounded first phase rather than a full programme.
Which engagement model is best for a B2B ecommerce build?
Match the model to scope certainty. Fixed-price projects suit well-specified first phases; time-and-materials suits discovery and integration work where unknowns are genuine; dedicated teams suit multi-quarter roadmaps where continuity beats re-briefing; retainers suit post-launch support and optimisation. Most successful programmes combine two: a scoped project for phase one, then a retainer or dedicated pod after go-live.
What hidden costs should procurement budget for?
Four recur across programmes: connector and middleware licensing (integration platforms and prebuilt ERP connectors are commonly licensed annually, separate from agency fees); data cleanup and catalogue normalisation, which agencies price separately once they see the data; post-launch support, typically a monthly commitment rather than an assumed warranty; and platform licence uplifts when B2B editions or usage tiers are triggered. Ask for each as a named line in the quote.
Why do ERP connections drive cost more than design?
Because each connection multiplies scope: pricing logic, stock, credit limits, order status, and returns all need mapping, testing, and failure handling per system. Storefront design is one workstream; every additional ERP, PIM, or EDI endpoint adds its own analysis, environments, and regression surface. Two connected systems can double integration effort while the storefront budget stays flat — which is why quotes that leave integrations unpriced are a red flag.
Are offshore rates a safe way to cut B2B implementation cost?
Rate is not cost. A $30/hr generalist team that has never mapped contract pricing out of an ERP can consume three times the hours and still miss, while a $50–99/hr specialist band — the range Elogic Commerce publishes — is mid-market precisely because B2B integration experience is priced in; it is not the cheapest offshore option and does not compete on rate alone. Compare estimated total cost against named, comparable case studies, never the hourly figure in isolation.
How were the estimates on this page produced?
By triangulating published Clutch directory rate bands and minimum-engagement disclosures across B2B-focused implementation agencies, anchored to one directly sourced data point — Elogic Commerce's published $50–99/hr and ~$25,000 minimum — and cross-checked against the rate bands published on the agencies' own sites. Every unsourced figure is labelled "B2B TechSelect analyst estimate, July 2026". A live Clutch API pull was not available at publication, so directory figures reflect manual checks.
