Checkout & Functions
Checkout customisation, checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions for discount, shipping and payment logic that used to need scripts.
Shopify Plus development agency Shopify Plus, only if it
Shopify Plus, only if it
earns its price.
Most merchants who upgrade use almost none of it — they pay enterprise rates for the same store they had before. We build the checkout control, Functions, B2B and multi-store features that make Plus worth it. And if you don’t need them yet, we’ll tell you first.

Our honest stance
Not every merchant needs Shopify Plus.
Sometimes the honest answer is no, and we would rather say it before you commit to enterprise pricing. As a Shopify Plus agency we recommend the upgrade for genuine checkout control, real B2B needs or multi-store operations — not for traffic volume alone. Standard Shopify handles enormous spikes without an upgrade.
We build it, run it and answer when you get in touch — WhatsApp, email or the form.
What Shopify Plus development includes
The features Plus exists for — actually used.
If you’re paying for Plus and using none of these, that’s the gap we close.
B2B & wholesale
B2B Shopify with company accounts, price lists, net terms and a self-serve wholesale channel alongside your DTC store.
Multi-store & currency
Shopify multi-store, expansion stores and Markets setup for selling across regions and currencies from one back office.
Discount & shipping logic
Promotions and rate rules built as Functions, so they run fast and survive platform updates.
Launchpad automation
Scheduled launches, flash sales and high-traffic events set to go live without anyone staying up until midnight.
Private apps & integrations
Private Shopify apps for the workflows off-the-shelf can’t handle, plus API integration into ERP, CRM and fulfilment.
Do you actually need Shopify Plus?
A good Shopify Plus developer should be willing to say no.
Even when it means a smaller invoice. Here’s the line we hold when we scope your upgrade.
Worth it when you need
- Genuine checkout control — custom checkout, one-page logic, Functions
- Real B2B or wholesale requirements
- Multiple stores, markets or currencies
- Private apps and higher API limits
Not worth it for
- Traffic volume alone — standard Shopify handles huge spikes
- “We’re getting bigger” with no feature you’d actually use
- Prestige — paying enterprise rates for the same store
- A checkout tweak an app already solves
Shopify vs Shopify Plus
What is the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?

- Full theme, product and app ecosystem

- Multi-store, expansion stores, higher API limits
- Launchpad & private apps
Who this is for
Three merchants we build Plus for.
Already on Plus
Paying enterprise rates but using almost none of the features you’re paying for. We turn the spend into working capability.
Weighing the upgrade
You want a straight answer on whether Plus pays for itself in your case — before the migration, not after.
B2B and DTC together
Wholesale and retail need to live on one platform, not two disconnected systems bolted together.

Shopify Plus — FAQ
The questions merchants actually ask.
Is Shopify Plus worth it?
Shopify Plus is worth it when you use its exclusive features — checkout customisation and Functions, B2B company accounts, or multi-store and multi-currency selling. If you need those, Plus pays for itself. If you’re upgrading only for higher traffic, standard Shopify already handles that.
What’s the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?
Both run the same core platform. Shopify Plus adds checkout extensibility and Functions, B2B and wholesale tools, multi-store and expansion stores, higher API limits, Launchpad and private apps. Standard Shopify covers most stores well; Plus is for merchants who need that deeper control.
Do I need Shopify Plus?
You need Shopify Plus if you require custom checkout logic, genuine B2B or wholesale selling, or multiple stores and currencies. You do not need it for traffic volume alone. A good Shopify Plus development agency will recommend against Plus when standard Shopify already does the job.
Can you migrate us to Plus without downtime?
Yes. We plan the move in phases, preserve your URLs, order history and integrations, and test on a staging store before switching over — so the upgrade is invisible to your customers.
How much does Shopify Plus development cost?
We quote fixed scope and fixed price per project rather than open-ended hourly work, so you know the cost before we start. Book a consultation and we’ll scope it against what you actually plan to use.
