As a Shopify Plus agency, there are certain questions that we get asked at every event: What’s the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus? How do we know which to choose? And when is the right time to upgrade?
For many brands with high-growth potential, the decision to launch on, or migrate to, Shopify is instrumental in their success. If you’re considering either option, you’re in the right place — read on for a detailed guide to both platforms.
First, for the merchants that aren’t yet using Shopify, we’ll outline the basics – Shopify unifies all of your commerce onto a single platform, allowing you to build and customise an online store, which is completely cloud-based and hosted. The latter means you can access the store from anywhere with an internet connection, and Shopify will handle software and server upgrades for you.
If you’re in the process of building an online business, you’ll be well aware of the array of tools you need on a day-to-day basis to keep things ticking along. Whether it’s managing products, inventory, payments, or shipping, there is a lot to consider. Shopify takes away any stress by grouping those technologies together, ensuring easy access, and the ability to integrate any other business tools to help your brand thrive.
Now into a bit more detail for those ready to test the water on Shopify. The platform encourages you to consider the available products as layers, or essential building blocks that promote growth for your business.
So, if it’s not clear already, Shopify is one of the easiest ways to launch an online business with ambitious growth plans. Behind every successful entrepreneur is a dream of making it big, so you may as well start on a platform that wants you to succeed, and can support you in doing so.
Even if you’re not sure of the growth potential of your big idea, Shopify just makes sense when it comes to setting up a business. The price tag attached to a built-from-scratch ecommerce site can be a little hefty, whereas Shopify’s fees are both reasonable and competitive.
It’s also really easy to get started, as brands can simply choose a template that best reflects their brand expression, and then the marketing, payments, and security will all be taken care of.
As can be seen, pricing for Shopify depends on the size, and therefore the needs, of the business. The Basic, Shopify, and Advanced plans all benefit from the following:
Build an online store with the world’s highest-converting, one-click checkout.
Promote and sell your products on multiple sales channels.
Shopify’s all-in-one POS system comes with inventory tracking, staff management, and more.
24/7 email and live chat support.
Other features that you can enjoy as a Shopify merchant on any plan are: unlimited products, manual order creation, discount codes, free SSL certificate, abandoned cart recovery, gift cards, customer segmentation, marketing automation and unlimited contacts.
Third-party calculated shipping rates are a feature exclusive to the Advanced plan.
🌎International market management to ensure a localised buying experience
🛍️Market domains and subfolders optimised for search results
🗣️Language translation
💵Currency conversion
💳Local payment methods
🌐Product pricing by market
The Advanced plan also includes support with duties and import taxes, estimating and collecting at checkout to give your customers total cost clarity, and therefore reducing the risk of returns.
Shopify empowers entrepreneurs around the world to create, connect and innovate, whilst absorbing any unnecessary complexities attached to their goals.
The platform also champions creative expression — designing products with the greatest amount of extensibility and flexibility, so you can build the store you’ve been dreaming of.
No matter the maturity of your brand, Shopify is built to scale, adapting with you as the needs of your business change.
Shopify Plus launched to support brands experiencing massive growth at a wild speed. As well as all the standard Shopify features, the platform offers a customisable enterprise solution, without the associated premium costs and drain on resources.
✅Average launch time of 90 days (compared to 8-12 months with traditional software)
✅Onboarding and migration guidance
✅Onboarding strategy from a team of ecommerce experts
✅24/7 priority technical support
✅Ecommerce automation tools to automate sales campaigns, promotions and tasks
✅A built-in wholesale channel solution
Shopify Plus was designed specifically for large, high-volume merchants, including wholesale and B2B brands. These types of businesses often have unique needs when it comes to managing orders, inventory, and pricing, and the platform can address these needs with a wide range of advanced features.
Shopify Plus is built to handle large volumes of traffic and orders, making it well-suited for businesses that are selling on mass. It also uses industry-standard security measures to protect your store and your customers' data — which is especially important for B2B businesses that may be handling sensitive information. The platform has robust tools for managing orders and inventory, including the ability to track and fulfil orders, and process returns and exchanges. Other benefits include:
✅Dedicated account manager
✅Greater flexibility with API integrations
✅Detailed analytics and reporting
✅Better equipped for international/multi-currency sellers
Customised checkout is one of our favourite benefits of Shopify Plus, allowing you to tailor the checkout process to fit your brand’s specific needs, and make it as seamless as possible for your customers. This can be especially useful for wholesale businesses, which may have unique requirements such as adding custom fields for tax ID or the business name.
Customised checkout can also help improve the overall customer experience by making your checkout process more efficient and user-friendly. This often leads to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as reduced cart abandonment rates.
Shopify has very recently launched Checkout Extensibility updates, making it faster and easier
for brands to customise their checkout, whilst also allowing developers to flex their creative muscles.
The latest development includes a suite of powerful platform features that give merchants the ability to make code-free changes to their checkout using apps. A few examples include applying branding changes such as the colour palette, upselling products before, during and after checkout, creating new discount features, or building custom banners.
Brands can still choose to work with developers if they envision a user experience that sits outside of the native functionality, as experts (such as our dev team) are now given the option to develop custom apps for bespoke customisations using a collection of components and APIs.
Multi-store is a feature of Shopify Plus that allows you to manage multiple online stores from a single platform. This can be especially useful for businesses that operate multiple websites for different regions, languages, or brands.
There are several benefits to using multi-store on Shopify Plus, for example, centralised management makes it easier to track sales, manage orders and inventory, and handle day-to-day tasks.
The ease of use also offers the following advantages:
Streamline your operations by managing multiple stores from a single platform. Save time and reduce the need for manual data entry and other tasks.
Improve efficiency by sharing resources, such as themes, apps, and integrations across multiple stores.
Make scaling less daunting by managing all of your stores from one platform.
Shopify Plus merchants can also benefit from a range of apps that aren’t available to other brands. Checkout blocks, Shopify Flow, and most Shopify Function apps are perfect examples of this.
Checkout blocks: Increase revenue by enabling checkout customisation. Drag and drop checkout blocks to show upsells, free shipping tiers, or custom content.
Shopify flow: Build custom automations that help you run your business more efficiently. Flow makes it easy to create unique workflows without needing code.
If you operate wholesale, Shopify Plus is the right platform for your business with tools optimised for flexibility and customisation. B2B commerce is made easy and intuitive, managed from one admin with no apps or code required.
The following five features are offered by the platform and are essential for B2B success:
Create wholesale company profiles with multiple locations and associated buyers.
Offer a personalised buying experience with curated product selections and price lists. This includes flexible purchasing rules, percentage-based pricing, and discounts, all assigned to a specific buyer or location.
Create automated net payment terms, draft orders, vaulted credit cards and invoicing to streamline the order process.
Show wholesale pricing during accelerated checkout based on company profile.
Authenticate buyers before they can access wholesale products and pricing, and view and manage account information and order history.
Shopify Plus prides itself on offering an unfair advantage at fair pricing — fees start at $2000 per month, or a variable fee for higher volume businesses. The variable fees flex with your requirements. For a more detailed breakdown of the pricing, check out our blog on pricing up the ultimate Shopify Plus tech stack.
