Sales & Marketing Expert
Last reviewed June 2026. A Shopify Plus agency handles the complex, high-stakes work that standard Shopify builds rarely need: enterprise migrations, custom checkout, ERP and PIM integrations, B2B commerce, and high-traffic performance. Below are nine of the strongest Plus specialists in our directory, spanning North America, the UK, and Australia, each with what they do best — followed by how to choose the right one for your project.
A note on how this list was built: these agencies were selected from our directory of 900+ verified agencies, filtered for genuine Shopify Plus specialization and sorted by client rating and review volume. It is a curated shortlist, not a paid ranking, and it is grouped by strength rather than ranked one-to-nine — the "best" agency depends entirely on your project.

Before the list, know what you are actually looking for. The agencies worth your shortlist tend to share these traits:
- Genuine Plus experience — not just Shopify work, but launched and scaled Plus stores specifically
- Integration depth — proven ERP, PIM, 3PL, and CRM integrations, which is where enterprise builds get hard
- A track record at your scale — case studies matching your order volume, catalog size, and complexity
- Relevant vertical experience — B2B, fashion, subscriptions, or whatever your model demands
- Strong post-launch support — Plus stores are living systems that need ongoing development, not a one-off build
- A real team — enough people that your project does not stall when one developer is on leave

Notice the range of locations and specialisms above. The right Plus agency is rarely the highest-rated one in the abstract — it is the one whose experience matches your model (B2B, fashion, subscriptions), your scale, and your time zone. Shortlist three and compare them properly.
How to Choose Between Them
Once you have a shortlist, the selection process matters as much as the list itself. Request proposals from three to five agencies, send them all the same detailed brief so the quotes are comparable, and watch for the warning signs that separate a safe partner from a risky one.
Send every agency the same brief so you can compare quotes fairly.

Shopify Agency Proposal Red FlagsWhat It Costs to Work With a Shopify Plus Agency
Plus projects sit at the higher end of agency pricing. A Plus build typically runs from $50,000 to $250,000 or more depending on complexity, integrations, and whether the work is theme-based or fully custom, with ongoing retainers common after launch. Budget for the full engagement, not just the build.

How Much It Costs to Hire a Shopify AgencyFrequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Shopify Plus agency?
- A Shopify Plus agency specializes in Shopify's enterprise tier, handling the complex work standard builds rarely need — enterprise migrations, custom checkout, ERP/PIM integrations, B2B commerce, and high-traffic performance. Many are Shopify Plus Partners, a status Shopify grants to agencies with a proven Plus track record.
- How much does a Shopify Plus agency cost?
- A Shopify Plus build typically costs $50,000 to $250,000 or more, depending on complexity, integrations, and whether it is theme-based or fully custom. Most brands also keep the agency on an ongoing retainer after launch, commonly $2,000 to $10,000 a month.
- Do I need a Shopify Plus Partner specifically?
- Not strictly, but Plus Partner status is a useful signal — Shopify only grants it to agencies with a demonstrated record of successful Plus projects. More important than the badge is relevant experience at your scale and in your vertical. Verify the track record, not just the label.
- How do I choose the right Shopify Plus agency?
- Shortlist three to five agencies whose experience matches your model and scale, send them all the same detailed brief, and compare proposals on scope and value rather than headline price. Check references for similar projects and watch for proposal red flags like no discovery phase or vague scope.
- Are UK and Australian agencies a good option for US brands?
- Yes. Many top Plus agencies work with international clients, and time-zone differences are manageable with a clear communication plan. Judge an agency on relevant experience, process, and communication rather than location — strong remote delivery is standard among established Plus agencies.
The Bottom Line
Any of the agencies above can deliver an excellent Shopify Plus project — the question is fit. Match the agency's strengths to your model, scale, and vertical, then run a proper selection process with a clear brief and comparable proposals. The right partner is the one whose experience maps to your project, not simply the one with the highest star rating.
