Custom Plugin and App Development for European Businesses
A genuine CET-hours overlap with continental Europe, with Shopify apps, WordPress plugins and Magento extensions all built by one in-house team rather than three separate specialists.
What you actually get
A working overlap across most of continental Europe
Most of continental Europe runs on Central European Time, roughly 4.5 hours behind Pune for much of the year (Eastern Europe typically runs about an hour later, and the UK — a different timezone entirely — has its own dedicated overlap window). Our 10:00–19:00 IST studio hours cover roughly 5:30am to 2:30pm CET, a real chunk of a European working morning and early afternoon.
One team across every platform a European business runs
A business selling through a WooCommerce store in one European country and a Shopify storefront for another market typically has two vendors, each managing only their own platform and blind to how the other half works. Our team builds Shopify apps, WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, Magento extensions, Chrome extensions and API integrations across the board, so a multi-market business gets one point of contact who understands the full stack rather than juggling two contractors per market.
GDPR-aware data handling as a default, not an add-on
An order sync, a Chrome extension reading browser activity, a Shopify app storing customer records — anywhere customer data passes through what we build, GDPR-aware handling is the default, applied the same way across every project rather than switched on only when a European client asks. We're a development team rather than a law firm, so we'd still point you to your own legal review for anything specific to your industry.
API integrations built to keep multi-market systems in sync
A business running separate platforms per country ends up with more integration surface than a single-market store — more systems that need correct field mapping, more places a dropped connection can lose an order if retry logic isn't built in, more room for one market's feed to fail silently while the others keep reporting fine. We build for that scale specifically: correct mapping, graceful handling when a system errors out or goes down, and retries instead of silent data loss, because a sync that's still running unattended in every market months later is the actual bar, not one that worked in a single-country demo.
How this actually works
How the Pune–Europe working day overlaps
Most of continental Europe sits on Central European Time, roughly 4.5 hours behind Pune (Eastern Europe generally runs about an hour later, and the UK — on its own timezone — has a separate overlap covered on our UK page). Our 10:00–19:00 IST studio day maps to roughly 5:30am to 2:30pm CET, giving a real morning-through-early-afternoon overlap for most of the continent, not a token early call.
For plugin and integration work, that window covers scoping calls, review sessions on a Shopify app's review feedback, and quick decisions on how two systems should sync. Outside it, work continues async — written specs, a staging link updated the same day, a recorded walkthrough — so a project keeps moving through our afternoon even after a European working day has wound down.
We invoice in EUR or USD by international transfer or card, with a fixed quote and written contract agreed before work starts. We're a Pune-based studio without a European office — we'd rather be upfront about that than let a virtual address imply a presence we don't have.

Plugin and App Development Pricing in Europe
What European Businesses Actually Pay for Custom Plugin and App Work
Public pricing guides for continental Europe put a basic WordPress or Shopify plugin at roughly €1,500–€4,500, a mid-complexity custom app or integration at €4,500–€13,000, and a larger multi-system integration or enterprise extension at €13,000–€38,000 or more — figures that hold reasonably steady across most CET markets, with Eastern Europe sometimes running slightly lower and the Nordics slightly higher.
GDPR-aware handling is the baseline across every quote in this range, not an add-on priced separately, since it applies the same way regardless of which EU country a customer's data happens to come from. What actually moves a project within the range is scope — a business running the same plugin logic across two or three European markets usually costs less in total than three fully separate single-market builds, since the underlying integration work overlaps.
These are general European market figures aggregated from public pricing guides, not a Webcomp quote — every plugin or integration is scoped against its actual requirements, with a fixed price agreed in writing before work starts.
- Basic plugin or small app: €1,500–€4,500 — single-platform, limited scope.
- Mid-complexity integration or app: €4,500–€13,000 — App Store review, cross-system sync, GDPR handling.
- Enterprise-grade extension or integration: €13,000–€38,000+ — high reliability, multi-market, ongoing maintenance.
FAQ
Questions before you get started.
A real one for most of the continent — roughly a morning through early afternoon, since our 10:00–19:00 IST studio hours map to about 5:30am–2:30pm CET. Eastern Europe runs about an hour later, which shifts the window slightly but doesn't remove it.
The UK runs on a different timezone with more overlap than continental Europe, so we've got a dedicated UK page with numbers specific to that. This page covers continental European businesses on CET or CEST.
Yes — and for a business running platforms across multiple countries, that matters more than it would for a single-market store. One team keeps every market's platform in sync instead of a different vendor per country losing track of how the others are configured.
Yes, and the same way across every market rather than adjusted per country — GDPR-aware handling is standard on any plugin, app or integration that touches customer data. We'd still recommend independent legal review for anything specific to your industry, since we build software rather than practice law.
By total scope, not per-market multiplication — a business running the same plugin logic across three countries usually costs less than three separate single-market builds, since the underlying integration work overlaps. We quote after understanding the full picture, not market by market in isolation.
