Shopify Plus, for businesses that have outgrown ordinary Shopify

Shopify Plus unlocks the parts of the platform most stores never touch. We build stores at that level for retailers who know the difference between a site and a sales machine.

Past & current clients

Most businesses arrive at Shopify Plus because standard Shopify started saying no. API limits. Checkout flows that couldn't be adapted. B2B requirements that needed workarounds. Plus exists for exactly this. The build, though, needs to be planned for the platform, not treated as standard Shopify with extra steps.

Wherever you're starting from.

Starting from scratch is a different conversation from fixing something that's underperforming.
Shopify Plus
Shopify's enterprise tier. Lower transaction fees, custom checkout logic, wholesale channels and priority support. For stores at $1M+ revenue, the upgrade usually makes commercial sense.
Plus Migration
Moving an existing Shopify store to Shopify Plus. We handle the technical transition, configure the features worth using and make sure nothing breaks in the process.
Custom Checkout
Custom checkout experiences built on Shopify Plus. Streamlined flow, reduced friction and a brand-consistent design built to convert rather than just function.
Wholesale & B2B
A separate wholesale channel within Shopify Plus. Custom pricing, trade accounts and a buying experience built for business customers rather than retail.
Ongoing Support
Ongoing development for live sites. Feature additions, performance work, seasonal campaigns and the day-to-day updates that keep a site working as hard as the business.

How a project works when the measure is revenue, not aesthetics.

Every project starts from a different position. What stays constant is the first question: what does this need to achieve commercially? The steps below are built around the answer.

Plus scoping and architecture

We map your platform requirements, integration needs and commercial goals before writing a line of code.

  • Checkout flows, B2B or wholesale logic and external system requirements documented
  • Detailed scope document that prevents scope creep in the build phase
  • Every decision traceable back to what was agreed here
2
Custom design and build

Every page designed in Figma and approved before development begins.

  • Checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions and Scripts used where they’re the right tool
  • Platform capabilities planned into the architecture from the start, not added on afterwards
  • Not a standard Shopify store with a Plus badge. Built for what Plus actually offers.
Integration and QA

ERP, 3PL, loyalty, subscriptions and third-party systems connected, tested under load and documented.

  • Integration architecture planned before the build begins, not improvised during it
  • Testing includes real transaction flows, edge cases and realistic trading volume
  • Nothing signed off until it works properly under realistic conditions
Handover and optimisation

Launch support, team training and a post-launch review window to catch anything the live environment surfaces.

  • Team trained on Plus-specific features before handover
  • Documentation covers what was built, why and what to watch post-launch
  • Project closed when the store is performing as intended

New to market

Shopify Plus is not the right starting point for most new stores. If you're launching at scale, or already know you need the platform's advanced features from day one, we'll scope the build accordingly.
Most stores at this level don't need Plus yet. If your requirements include complex checkout logic, B2B functionality or API limits on standard Shopify, the conversation is worth having.

1M - 3M

This is where Plus starts making commercial sense. Higher API limits, Shopify Functions, checkout extensibility and multi-currency done properly. We scope the migration and the rebuild together so you end up with a store that’s set up for Plus.

3 - 10M

At this trading volume the platform needs to match the business. Custom checkout flows, advanced pricing logic, ERP integration, wholesale channels. We've built at this level and we know what it takes to get it right.

10M+

“We hired Skyrocket to rebuild our two websites on Shopify (one for NZ, one for Australia) and we were extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Skyrocket were efficient and cost-effective, delivering everything we wanted for our websites on time and on-budget. I have 15 years of experience in e-commerce and performance marketing, working both client side and agency side. I can honestly say that our project with Skyrocket was one of the smoothest I’ve experienced, and I would enlist them again in a second.”

Migrate and build

Move from standard Shopify to Plus with a rebuild that actually uses what the platform offers. We scope the migration and the new build together so you don’t end up with a Plus store that runs like standard Shopify with a higher monthly fee.

New Plus store

A Shopify Plus store built from scratch for a business that needs Plus capability from day one. The architecture is planned for the platform from the start: checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions, B2B and the integration stack your operation requires.

Plus support

You’re already on Shopify Plus and need a specialist to keep building. New features, complex integrations, performance work and development that requires someone who understands the platform at depth. We review the existing store before we start and tell you what we find.

FAQs

What does Shopify Plus give us that standard Shopify does not?

Custom checkout flows, Shopify Functions for complex discount and pricing logic, higher API limits, dedicated merchant success support and B2B functionality. The platform unlocks more. The build needs to be planned properly to use it well.

Do you handle the migration from standard Shopify to Plus?

Yes. The migration is straightforward at the platform level but it is also a chance to rebuild what was not working properly on standard Shopify. We scope the migration and the rebuild together so you end up with a Plus store that is set up for Plus.

What integrations do you work with at the Plus level?

ERPs, 3PLs, subscription platforms, loyalty systems, custom fulfilment integrations and multi-currency setups. We plan the integration architecture before the build starts and coordinate with your other platforms. Everything is tested properly before launch.

How long does a Shopify Plus build take?

Most Plus builds run twelve to sixteen weeks from a signed brief to launch. More complex builds with multiple integrations, international market setup or custom checkout logic take longer. Scope and timeline are agreed before you commit.

Things we are especially nerdy about...

Shopify Plus in New Zealand: What Established Retailers Are Building

For businesses immersed in New Zealand's dynamic commercial landscape, the term "Shopify Plus" has likely surfaced in conversations. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Shopify Plus.

Why Your $50k Website Is Not Performing (And What Is Actually Going On)

A $50k website should be generating results. When it isn't, there is almost always a specific cause. This article walks through how to diagnose whether you have a traffic problem, a conversion problem, or something the brief missed entirely.

What a Shopify Plus Migration Actually Involves: Timeline, Cost and What Changes

There is a version of the Shopify Plus migration that takes about ten minutes. You contact Shopify, they upgrade your plan, and your store is technically on Plus. Nothing else changes. Your theme is the same, your checkout is the same, your integrations are the same. That version is almost never the right version.

Shopify Plus for High-Volume NZ Retailers: What a Serious Build Actually Involves

High-volume retail has a specific set of problems that standard ecommerce builds handle badly. Catalogue size, order velocity, multi-channel complexity, integration requirements. The store that works at $500k revenue starts to buckle at $3M.
