If you are a small business you don't need the plus subscription, if you sell more than 10M/year and you need connections with other systems, more detailed POS and customizable code you are good with the basic susbcription.

ECommerce and Point of Sales System is a great use for Shopify Plus. Basically, any sale situation would be a great fit for Shopify Plus. Some areas where it might not be best suited are restaurants or blogs. In those cases, there is a Shopify Lite plan that would make more sense.

Any business that needs to keep track of orders and payments would benefit from Shopify Plus. Customers information, orders, and payments are all saved and available for reference. You are able to refer to past orders to review trends and offer future purchase suggestions. Shopify Plus is also easy to use so it does not take long to train employees how to use this system.

Shopify is well suited for businesses who
- use multiple, custom discount codes
- are doing international sales/shipping
- are doing +$500k in revenue monthly
- want to control their brand look and feel from landing to checkout
- have many agencies and partners.

If you need a custom implementation or have to connect your ecomm store to your own internal systems, Shopify Plus provides a robust set of APIs and functionality to do this. If you are a small business just doing standard ecommerce, then you probably don't need Plus and can just use regular Shopify. High-volume / large merchants probably want to go with Plus.

Shopify Plus is great and accessible for any brand looking to grow their e-commerce market internationally. They make it easy to start new shops, connect to warehouses and apps internationally. Its a price commitment so unless you are running many shops or doing a high number of sales it may not be worth the cost.

Shopify Plus works very well for an online business, period. We have used several other platforms, and none of them even come close to competing with Shopify Plus. The speed and reliability of the sites jump right out as a must-have in running a website. We love that we can have a wholesale version of each site to allow for resellers and B2B sales. Shopify Plus integrates very well with other systems, including our accounting, warehouse, shipping, inventory, advertising, customer management, and other departments. We have been very pleased with the power of Shopify Plus and would never run an online company without it. And we have been doing online sales for 15 years.

Shopify Plus is great for those that want to start their own business. It attempts to make this process as easy as possible. However, in situations where some templates don't have some features, this could lead to more people choosing another software over Shopify Plus, such as Squarespace or Wix.

In addition, Shopify Plus is well suited for those that deal with e-commerce websites. For example, there are agencies that manage websites for clients. Shopify Plus can be a great option for those agencies, so they are able to manage the websites for their clients and preview the appearance of the website, whether it is on mobile or desktop.

It's a great tool to use for record keeping, accepting payments, and keeping all of your orders in one place. It's easy to navigate and easy to train new employees to use. It also allows us to utilize our loyalty program, by using the Swell app for our website. I wish that there was a way for us to be able to use a sandbox version of this tool, especially for training purposes. That would allow us to be able to train new employees on how to use the tool without messing with any of our actual orders.

Shopify is the industry standard when it comes to eCommerce software. It's basically the #1 ecommerce software solution that is out there that has everything under one roof. You want reliability? Shopify is your solution. You want fast website performance with great uptime? Shopify is your solution. The only area it's less appropriate is how their dedicated account support and tech support for Plus customers has kind of lost touch with it's customers. On the flipside Shopify's services are still the best in the industry, but that doesn't mean they can lose touch with their customers.

Shopify Plus will work well for companies with simple product offerings and/or consistent and specifically discounted wholesale needs. We do not recommend this for larger companies or semi-complex pricing/products. I feel the Sales Reps flat out lied about the program's abilities and our Launch Rep was not knowledgable.

Shopify Plus is perfect for small businesses with over 100 SKUs that are looking for heavy customization where access to the product API will be necessary. It is ideal for wholesale businesses. Shopify Plus also offers very specific and extensive shipping features. This product is great for businesses that run an internal warehouse.

Shopify Plus is a good solution for any ecommerce doing up to $1B / year in revenue. Look up the top companies on the platform and they show that Shopify Plus can handle all clients. I love how they are consistently releasing new features and we don't have to go through manual upgrades.

I would recommend Shopify Plus to any merchant doing at least 500k/mo and doesn't primarily do subscription products. High volume merchants who run complex subscriptions may be better off on an eCommerce platform that doesn't rely on third-party subscription apps that can't even use Shopify's native checkout. Merchants doing under 500k are probably fine with one of Shopify's normal plans rather than Plus.

Well suited for growing mid-sized to large businesses who want to remain flexible and agile and are OK making compromises here and there. Not well suited for large corporations that have very traditional requirements for what e-commerce should look like; Shopify is on the cutting edge of e-commerce and they seem to tailor their product to the tastes and preferences of millennials.

If you are a new e-commerce business that wants to get up quickly, has very easy to use systems, and has a relatively simple business structure (not global, inventory relatively simple), then Shopify is definitely for you. It's intuitive, has several built-in features that are incredibly nice, and plugs into other large systems. If you are a large business with several shipping centers, complex products, with a huge content goal, Shopify can make it difficult or require some outside technology that often falls short of what they tell you.

I would recommend Shopify Plus to businesses that want a hands-off store with most of the latest and greatest features and a highly converting mobile experience. It may not be suited for a business with the need for many sites or for a business with thousands of products that doesn't want to also use a complementary inventory management system or PIM.
