Signs you've outgrown Shopify
When to upgrade to Shopify Plus
You need a custom checkout
Upsells, delivery options or custom fields that standard checkout can't do.
You sell wholesale
Trade customers need their own pricing, payment terms and ordering.
You're going international
Separate stores per region, managed from one organisation.
The maths now works
At your volume, lower rates and better conversion cover the Plus fee.

What we set up
What we set up when you upgrade to Shopify Plus
Many brands pay for Plus and never use it. Our upgrade puts each feature to work.
| Plus feature | What we set up | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Checkout extensions | Branding, upsells, custom fields, trust content | Higher checkout conversion and AOV |
| Shopify Functions | Custom discounts, shipping and payment rules | Promotions that apps can't handle |
| B2B | Companies, catalogs, payment terms, trade portal | Wholesale and retail from one store |
| Markets & expansion stores | Regional pricing, duties, domains, languages | International growth without separate teams |
| Shopify Flow | Stock, fraud, tagging and alert automations | Hours of admin saved every week |
| Launchpad | Scheduled sales, drops and theme changes | Campaigns that go live without a 6am login |
| Organisation admin | Users, roles and permissions across stores | Control and security as you scale |

FAQ
Shopify Plus upgrade FAQs
How much does Shopify Plus cost?
Shopify Plus starts with a monthly platform fee, and larger stores move to a revenue-based fee above a threshold. [Confirm current Plus pricing before publishing.] Our setup work is quoted separately as a fixed price after a readiness review.
At what revenue is Shopify Plus worth it?
There's no single number. Plus pays for itself when lower processing rates, replaced apps, conversion gains and saved admin time outweigh the fee. We model it against your real figures before you commit.
Do we need to rebuild our store to upgrade?
No. Upgrading is a plan change on your existing store: your theme, products, customers and orders all stay as they are. The work is in setting up the Plus features well.
Will there be any downtime?
No. Your store keeps trading throughout. We build and test new checkout extensions and Functions before switching them on.
What's the difference between Shopify Advanced and Shopify Plus?
Advanced adds better reporting and lower rates. Plus adds checkout extensions on every step, native B2B, expansion stores, custom Functions, Launchpad and organisation-level admin.
