Shopify Plus, the eCommerce Solution for the pros
Shopify Plus is being used for our day to day eCommerce operations. We upgraded to Plus due to increased traffic, sales, and performance demands. The Shopify Plus uptime, support, and features is what is valuable to a business like ours. We need an eCommerce tool that is up for the day to day challenges and doesn't fail us.
- Quick server performance
- Always innovating
- Dedicated 24/7 Priority Support
- Dedicated Account Manager/Rep
- The Account Managers/Reps have become more scripted and seem like they are busier and handling more clients than before. It doesn't seem as personal and special anymore like when we first upgraded to Plus.
- Shopify still has missing features in their software that might not have an app in their app marketplace available that fills this void.
- The 24/7 support doesn't seem as dedicated as they once were.

The best eCommerce solution for SMB's PERIOD
We are using Shopify plus for d2c eCommerce, b2b sales and distribution, CMS, POS, and it is part of our inventory and purchasing management strategy. Shopify + our WMS has replaced our former eCommerce system, Magento, and our erp system. We are running leaner and better than ever before thanks to Shopify and the apps ecosystem all without the support of a developer.
- Stable and consistently updated cloud infrastructure
- Suite of apps and partners make improvements a breeze and keep you current with technology.
- Dedicated live chat supports your business 24/7
- Lacks certain basic functionality that would seem to be a no brainier. Some of these items are being addressed.
- Lacks the complete customization options that large businesses may want.
- Outages happen more frequently than would be desirable for the price of service.

Shopify Plus is Great
We initially adopted Shopify Plus for our main e-commerce business and it went so well that our international partners also adopted it for their e-commerce business. Shopify Plus has dramatically improved our ability and speed to bring new features and functionality to our business. The Shopify Plus API system is fantastic and constantly improving. We are now exploring Shopify POS and are excited for the omni opportunities.
- Straight forward REST and GraphQL API.
- Great desktop and mobile admin UI for managing site.
- Very competitive pricing.
- App ecosystem is robust.
- No staging site, most work is done in production or in a version of a theme.
- Order management system is fairly basic.
- Scheduling discounts and site flips needs work.

Stellar E-Commerce Platform
I highly recommend working with Shopify. Their user interface is extremely intuitive and they offer a great variety of third-party apps to meet most of your e-commerce needs. The customer support staff is helpful, friendly, and answers questions promptly. They also provide extensive documentation on all of their product features.
- Customer service
- Documentation
- Third-party apps
- Intuitive user-interface
- Implement front-end customization beyond the frontpage
- More robust native features

Good Fit for very simple product offering and pricing ONLY
We decided to move from AmeriCommerce to Shopify Plus in hopes of receiving more customization options, easy multi-store and wholesale store set up.
After roughly 4 months worth of set up and investment, myself along with our Web Team urged management to allow us to continue using AmeriCommerce. Shopify did not meet our expectations.
After roughly 4 months worth of set up and investment, myself along with our Web Team urged management to allow us to continue using AmeriCommerce. Shopify did not meet our expectations.
- The site is set up for simple product offerings.
- Dropship abilities.
- Theme offerings.
- Wholesale store set up is a nightmare. It only allows for wholesale pricing at a consistent and specific discount. No customization in pricing which did not work for us.
- Expensive - the cost involved was insane.
- Sales reps will promise you whatever they need to, regardless of true feasibility.
- Our Launch Rep was just terrible to work with. He couldn't answer any of our questions without having to reach out to other team members.
- Even slightly complex product offerings will require you pay additional fees to 3rd parties for custom builds.

Shopify Plus is great!
We are huge advocates of Shopify and Shopify Plus platforms. If you're just starting out or a huge brand doing over $1B a year in revenue, you can do it all on Shopify. Coming from the Magento world this is a huge upgrade where it cost 1/4 of the cost to run overall and the performance is 10x better!
- Ease of use
- No need to have a separate host
- CDN is included
- Pricing is high
- Additional fee for using a 3rd party payment processor
- No multi store inventory and sku management like Magento

Best E-Commerce Platform on the Market
We used Shopify Plus as our primary e-commerce platform to sell, market, brand, and present our wares to the world. I was operating an e-commerce store at the time and Shopify Plus was an excellent platform to both learn about e-commerce business modeling as well as digital sales and marketing. It was a one-stop shop for us and that was immensely helpful given limited resources.
- Easy ramp up and very user-friendly interface.
- Easy to track payments, refunds, and customer interactions, including shipping.
- Discounts on shipping rates with preferred vendors.
- Reasonable monthly pricing.
- Improved templates and themes.
- Less expensive premium templates and themes.
- More font and color/branding elements, without the need to purchase outside the platform or add-on expensive add-on applications.
- Expand shipping options, perhaps more integrations,
- Increased quality of drop shipping vendors and on-platform design tools.

Shopify Plus for a Rapidly Growing Business
We set up Shopify Plus for a large wood flower company. Due to the volume of orders, we went with Shopify Plus in order to handle it. It was easy to spin up a new website, and we could add features as the company grew.
- Expandability was key to the growing business
- Large community of plugins and templates
- Handled the payment processing, etc.
- Customizing templates can be difficult
- Some features required third-party tools
We assist merchants who are using Shopify Plus both online and in physical retail stores. All but one of our employees directly interacts with Shopify on a daily basis; about half of those employees are developing or supporting Shopify Plus merchants in some way.
- Scales incredibly well. Forget about hardware concerns, load balancing, downtime, etc. and focus on eCommerce. We've seen merchants go from a few thousand dollars per month to having million dollar days, all on Shopify without having to worry about performance or scaling systems.
- Great new features consistently being added, ahead of the curve on almost everything
- Solid API to build on and work with, a few annoying quirks here and there for super complex use cases but overall very well documented and works well
- Most Merchant Success Managers are good and genuinely want to be helpful
- A fantastic user interface, very logical and easy to use
- Tons and tons and tons of out of the box integrations. Easily the best integration marketplace of the e-commerce platforms. There's an app for that.
- Some very enterprise features are missing. Vaulted credit cards only work via the Shopify Pay (different than Shopify Payments) and aren't saved to customer accounts. Probably in part because of this, recurring subscriptions are not possible without using third party apps which is super annoying and those third-party apps hijack the native Shopify checkout so that they can take you to their checkout where they can actually save the cards. Shopify does not seem motivated to change this anytime soon either.
- Some merchants are frustrated that they have to use apps for functionality that they would otherwise consider essential such as wishlists. Shopify would argue that they are best as a platform and would rather empower apps as that results in an even better user experience since there are options for different apps, app developers are more incentivized to go deeper and build better, etc.. In most cases I believe this works well.
We have a relatively interesting use case for Shopify Plus. We use it in conjunction with our backend ERP system, NetSuite. We also use a third party system, FarApp, that links the two systems (products, orders, inventory, pricing, etc). As a result, we use Shopify as somewhat of a "container" that houses the digitally purchasable versions of our in-store products (since we link the in-store inventory and the online inventory). We are constantly working in Shopify and also in the other systems to try and make it as efficient as possible.
Really Shopify excels in its ease of use and its focus on forward looking web technologies (responsive website, linking with analytics software, ability to use on mobile) and it struggles at some of the heavy lifting (content laden website, advanced product options, API is crappy).
Really Shopify excels in its ease of use and its focus on forward looking web technologies (responsive website, linking with analytics software, ability to use on mobile) and it struggles at some of the heavy lifting (content laden website, advanced product options, API is crappy).
- Ease of use - you can basically start using Shopify out of the box with very little training. It's self explanatory and the resources for help are fantastic.
- Support - if you are a Shopify plus merchant you have dedicated account representatives that will really go the extra mile to help or create a fix for you. They do a good job making sure that you are taken care of to the best of their ability and frequently work with engineers for quick fixes to common problems.
- Customization - this is something Shopify is going to sell you on with Plus. You can create your own checkout, you can create custom pages that link in, and you can link in other systems through their app store and also custom coding.
- Partnerships - Shopify DOES link in with some systems great (Shipstation, Uber, CreateSend/MailChimp) and that is a huge positive.
- API - unfortunately, given the amount Shopify talks about the ability to customize, they conveniently leave out the fact that their API is notoriously weak and also undocumented. It makes building custom solutions on top of Shopify cumbersome.
- Advanced Product Options - simple things like adding additional images into products with multiple variants doesn't exist! You have to install Apps to get some of this done. Inventory management is very basic and things like collection organization are light years ahead of other systems but can still use improvements.
- Mixing product and content - Surprisingly, Shopify isn't as strong here as you'd think. Oftentimes, people use entirely separate programs like Squarespace and Wordpress to run their content section of the website. This is fine except they are missing a critical component of linking the content to the product. I think Shopify should focus on this A LOT going forward.
We use Shopify Plus as the e-commerce front-end for our flagship websites, including MMAWarehouse.com and BJJWarehouse.com.
- Very slick and well-designed interface, the easiest cart backend we've ever worked with
- Enterprise-level features at a very affordable price
- A very extensive app store with truly turnkey apps
- Better multi-store management
- More robust promotion and upselling capability (without apps)
- Pricebooks for scheduled pricing
- Scheduled content management

Shopify Plus > SquareSpace
As a company, we historically generated revenue through a subscription service to our app, as well as paid media advertisements. Last May we decided to introduce a third line of business - eCommerce. We adopted Shopify Plus in August to help us scale our eCommerce business, and bring our product offering to our 50+ million user base.
- Customer support - Shopify Plus gives us top tier support, which allows us to jump to the top of the support queue anytime we have a question. Support is available via live chat, email or phone. For more technical questions, we can book a call with our account manager who connects us to the appropriate resource at Shopify.
- Ease of use - It was incredibly easy to stand up an eCommerce business on Shopify Plus. The platform is intuitive to use and allowed us to get up and running quickly.
- Customizations - It has been very easy to customize our shop to the look and feel of our brand. You can either install a theme from the Theme Store or let designers and engineers run wild to create their own.
- Reporting - The native reporting in Shopify is not as in depth as one would hope. They often rely on third party apps to fill any gaps they've missed. For example, it would be nice to be able to input the costs of your products included in the Shopify admin so we can run reports with margins included.
- Business guidance - We haven't received a ton of advice in terms of business suggestions or guidance. It would be great to guide those merchants who are new to eCommerce to help them navigate pitfalls and common problems.

Shopify Plus Kicks A$$, Literally!!
Shopify Plus is being used by the majority of our team to power our e-commerce store. Our entire team knows how to log in to our website backend, make proper changes, look up orders, and get customer info.
- They have a great support staff who responds quickly to any issues we have.
- The backend is very easy to use for people who do not have a ton of web experience.
- I love how they can update the entire platform with zero downtime.
- There is no way to track revenue per coupon code in a nice graph layout like the "Reports" section does for sales.
- Seamless integration into third party vendors.
- Free sShipping on a product specific level.

Our mix of virtual and physical product eCommerce store has been elevated by Shopify Plus!
We use Shopify as the main source for our players to buy game pieces. We needed to have a product that we could customize, had near 100% uptime, and allowed people to choose payment options. Shopify covered all of those, and with Plus, it allows us to use things like Multipass and 1-on-1 attention to make Shopify work for us.
- 1-on-1 attention. Our account representative answers all of our questions very quickly.
- Multipass. We didn't want people to recreate accounts, just use the Munzee accounts that they currently have.
- Giving us information as it's announced e.g. "This new feature may help your account in x, y, z ... "
- Weekly Reviews. If this week was x amount less than last week, work with the client on why.
- Recommend new products based on best selling products.
- Wish I knew the roadmap of unannounced features. That way when it's announced, I already have a plan.

Flexible solution for flexible businesses.
We use Shopify Plus for our e-commerce website, some order management, some product management, and some analytics. We needed a strong e-commerce platform that was flexible for a growing midsize company, scaleable with our growth, could also support POS, and had a good API. Shopify plus has provided all of the non-negotiable for us at a really good price.
- From a web perspective, it's really fast and has great out-of-the-box SEO benefits.
- The user interface is very, very easy to navigate. Very intuitive.
- Reporting is built in, allowing you to build customize-able reports for at-a-glance KPIs.
- Amazing support.
- Some features that are non-negotiates for some businesses are missing, or are only available if you use Shopify Payments. One that comes to mind is saved/vaulted credit cards.
- Many aspects of Shopify Plus, including pre-built reporting features and widgets in the admin interface are very obviously built for small businesses. The larger you get as a business, the more irrelevant many of Shopify Plus features become.
- Shopify Plus does not have a robust POS at all. The POS is not enterprise-level.
