Shopify Plus for enterprise brands
Shopify Plus stores, Hydrogen or Next.js storefronts and ERP integrations for brands that want a managed platform with room for custom engineering.
When Shopify Plus fits, and when it doesn't
A managed platform with room for real engineering where it counts.
Typical stack: Shopify Plus, Liquid, Hydrogen, Next.js, Shopify Functions.
Shopify Plus is a strong fit when
- You want hosting, security and checkout managed for you
- Your business rules fit Shopify's model, with apps for the gaps
- You need to launch quickly with a smaller in-house team
Choose something else when
- Complex B2B pricing, approvals or marketplace rules at the core of the business
- Platform fees are becoming a large share of margin
