Shopify Plus
Plus gives you more surface area — organisation-level admin, Functions, checkout extensibility, multi-store. We make sure that surface is used deliberately rather than left half-configured.

01Overview
Businesses on Plus rarely need convincing that the tier is worth the spend — what they need is a shopify plus agency that will actually use the tier's capability instead of running it like Shopify Basic with a bigger invoice. Functions, checkout extensibility and organisation-level admin are only valuable if someone architects them properly.
Our work here starts with an honest audit of what you're paying for versus what's load-bearing: app subscriptions that duplicate native Functions, regional stores that have drifted from a shared architecture, checkout customisations still stuck on deprecated Liquid. Then we close the gap in a governed, reviewable way.
Multi-store and multi-brand operations are where this discipline matters most — one architecture, propagated deliberately, is the difference between a release taking an afternoon or five separate afternoons with five separate risks.
02The problem
Plus merchants routinely pay for capability they never use, while continuing to pay app subscriptions for logic — discounting rules, delivery customisation, payment routing — that belongs natively in Shopify Functions or checkout UI extensions.
03You will recognise this if
- Checkout.liquid deprecation is still unresolved
- Regional stores have drifted apart
- App subscriptions duplicate native Plus capability
- Organisation admin is configured differently store to store
- Nobody owns the release process for checkout changes
04How we work on it
- 01
Capability audit
We map which Plus features you are actually paying for, which are load-bearing to the business, and which app subscriptions duplicate something native already covers.
- 02
Functions over apps
Discount, delivery and payment customisation logic moved into Shopify Functions where it belongs — versioned in git, testable, and running server-side instead of in a third-party script.
- 03
Checkout extensibility
Checkout UI and post-purchase extensions built against the current extensibility framework, replacing anything still dependent on deprecated checkout.liquid.
- 04
Multi-store consistency
One theme architecture and a shared component library propagated across regional or brand stores, instead of five storefronts that have quietly diverged over two years.
- 05
Governed releases
An environment strategy — dev, staging, production — with review gates and a documented rollback path before anything reaches a live, revenue-bearing storefront.

05What changes
- Functions replace app subscriptions
- Discount, shipping and payment logic moved server-side into Functions you own, versioned and testable in git.
- Stores converge on one architecture
- Regional or brand storefronts run a shared component library instead of independently drifting forks.
- Checkout is future-proofed
- Extensions built against the current framework, with no dependency on deprecated checkout.liquid.
06How an engagement runs
- 01
Audit
Full review of Plus capability usage and app spend against what's native, delivered as a written report before scope is proposed.
- 02
Scope
Prioritised backlog of Functions, extensibility and architecture work, agreed with clear rollback and release governance built in.
- 03
Delivery
Staged rollout through dev and staging environments with review gates, so production checkout is never the first place a change is tested.
