10 Best Shopify Plus Agencies in 2026

For most brands, hiring a Shopify Plus agency is a six-figure decision once migration, custom work, and a year of support are added up. The platform fee alone starts at $2,300 a month on a three-year term, or $2,500 on a one-year term. Pick the wrong partner and you pay enterprise prices for a store that still feels slow. Pick the right one and Plus pays for itself.

2026 raised the stakes. Shopify Scripts stopped running entirely on June 30, 2026 (Shopify changelog). Any agency still planning checkout logic the old way will cost you a rebuild.

We're Crawlapps, a Shopify agency. We worked with 430+ brands on Shopify. To build this list of the best Shopify Plus agencies, we checked every agency against Shopify's own Partner Directory instead of their marketing pages. We're on the list too, at #1, and we explain exactly why below.

Quick answer:

The best Shopify Plus agencies in 2026 are Crawlapps (budget-friendly B2B and ecommerce store development), Binary (retail brands with SAP or ERP systems), Mark Web Solutions (D2C build plus marketing), The io agency (GCC and Arabic stores), Niccos (European migrations with ERP and B2B), Acceleratiq (omnichannel retail with POS), Vevol Media (migrations with published pricing), Pluro (subscriptions and sports), Blend Commerce (CRO), and Fuel Made (CRO plus Klaviyo email). Apart from CrawlApps, every agency here holds Plus tier in Shopify's Partner Directory. The best one for you depends on your main bottleneck, budget, and time zone.

Top Shopify Plus agencies 2026

Seven of the ten agencies below hold Shopify's highest partner tier, Platinum. The list is grouped by what each agency is best for, not ranked by size.

Best Shopify Plus agencies by region

Time zone matters more than most brands expect, because launch-day bugs don't wait for office hours. Here's how the list splits by location:

• India: CrawlApps (Surat), Binary (Mumbai), and Mark Web Solutions (Mumbai). All three also work with brands in the US, UK, and GCC.
• UAE, Dubai, and the GCC: The io agency (Dubai) works in English and Arabic across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. Binary also supports UAE brands and works in Arabic, and India is only 1.5 hours ahead of Gulf time.
• UK and Ireland: Blend Commerce (Henley-in-Arden), Pluro (London), and Vevol Media (Dublin).
• Germany and DACH: Niccos (Breisach) and Acceleratiq (Munich).
• USA: Fuel Made is US-based. Binary, Niccos, Pluro, Vevol Media, and Mark Web Solutions also list the US as a supported market.
• Australia: Blend Commerce lists Australia as a supported market, and Mark Web Solutions has built a Shopify Plus store for SmilePath in Australia and New Zealand.

How we chose these Shopify Plus agencies

Every agency here was checked against public, verifiable proof, not its own sales page. We looked at five things:

1. Verified partner tier. Shopify sorts service partners into four tiers: Select, Plus, Premier, and Platinum. Shopify assigns tiers based on factors including experience and proven success on the platform. We checked each badge directly in the directory.
2. Named Shopify Plus work. We favored agencies whose directory profile shows real, named projects, such as migrations from Magento or Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
3. A clear specialty. "We do everything" is not a specialty. Each agency had to be clearly strong at one job: enterprise replatforming, B2B, CRO, subscriptions, or something else.
4. 2026 platform readiness. We gave weight to agencies working with Shopify Functions, Checkout Extensibility, and Shopify B2B, since Scripts no longer run.
5. Client reviews. Where the directory shows ratings, we note them.

Do you need a Shopify Plus agency yet?

Not every brand needs Shopify Plus, and a good agency will tell you so. Plus makes sense when you need checkout customization, B2B features, multiple storefronts, or automation that standard plans can't handle.

Agency estimates of the break-even point vary. One Shopify Plus agency puts it around $1.5M to $2M in annual sales, and says stores under $1M usually belong on standard Shopify's Advanced plan (Netalico). Another advises brands under $500K a year not to hire a Plus agency at all, because the platform fee plus a build would crush margins (GOSH Digital).

Hold off on a Plus agency if:

• Your revenue is still small and your catalog is simple. Grow on standard Shopify first.
• Most of your sales come from marketplaces like Amazon. Fix that channel mix before a big build.
• Your store already converts well but you have no email or retention setup. A rebuild won't fix a traffic or retention problem.

Operational complexity matters more than revenue alone. A brand with heavy discount logic or wholesale buyers can benefit from Plus earlier than a larger brand with a simple catalog.

How to choose a Shopify Plus agency

Start with your biggest bottleneck, then pick the agency type built for it. Most bad hires happen because a brand picks on portfolio looks, then discovers the agency is weak at the one thing the project actually needed.

Find your main need on the left, then shortlist the agency type on the right. Examples come from the list above.

1. Name your main problem. Is it a replatform, a B2B launch, low conversion, or a lack of developer hours? Write it in one sentence.
2. Verify the partner tier yourself. Search the agency in Shopify's Partner Directory. A badge on the agency's own site is a claim; the directory listing is proof.
3. Ask for a Plus case study that matches your problem. Same source platform, same business model, similar size.
4. Test their 2026 knowledge. Ask how they would rebuild your old Scripts logic with Shopify Functions, and how they use Checkout Extensibility. Vague answers are a red flag.
5. Meet the team who will do the work. Not only the sales lead. Ask who is on your account in month four.
6. Read the contract for exits. Confirm you own the code and theme, and that there's a clean handoff clause if you switch agencies later.
   

Questions to ask a Shopify Plus agency

• Which Plus projects have you done that match ours, and can we speak to one of those clients?
• What is your Shopify partner tier, and how long have you held it?
• How do you handle Shopify Functions, Checkout Extensibility, and Shopify B2B?
• What does post-launch support include, and how fast do you respond to a checkout bug?
• How do you price changes to scope mid-project?
• How many apps will you add, and what does each one cost us per month?

Red flags

• A proposal that lists a dozen third-party apps before anyone has audited your store.
• No named Shopify Plus clients, only "a leading DTC brand".
• A quote far below every other quote, with no clear explanation of what's left out.

How to vet a Shopify Plus agency for a migration

A Shopify migration is mostly a data and SEO project, not a design project. Before you hire, ask the agency to walk you through each of these:

• Source-platform experience. Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce each break in different ways. Ask for migrations from your exact platform.
• Redirect mapping. How they build the URL redirect map, handle filtered and paginated URLs, and check it after launch. This is where search rankings are kept or lost.
• Customer and order data. How customer accounts, order history, product variants, and subscriptions move across, and what customers must do (such as resetting passwords).
• The first 90 days. Who fixes edge cases after launch, and how fast. Get the launch-day support plan and response times in writing.

Common mistakes when hiring a Shopify Plus agency

1. Choosing on price alone. The cheapest quote often means less QA and a launch date that slips.
2. Comparing build prices instead of 12-month cost. A cheap build that needs fixes, a separate email agency, and a later CRO audit can cost more than a higher all-in quote.
3. Not deciding between a build partner and a growth partner. A build partner ships the store and leaves. A growth partner keeps improving it with CRO, email, and development. Know which one you're hiring.
4. Skipping a discovery or audit phase. Missed redirects and messy product data cause more post-launch problems than any theme choice.
5. Hiring for the pitch, not the team. Meet the developer who will actually write your code.

How much does a Shopify Plus agency cost?

Your total cost has two parts: Shopify's platform fee, which is published, and the agency's fee, which depends on scope. Budget for both before you compare quotes.

Shopify Plus platform fee (2026, USD)

Source: Chargeflow's summary of Shopify's pricing page and First Pier. Shopify does not publish the variable fee rate, so ask for your rate in writing.

Agency fees come in three common models:

• Fixed-price project: a set price for a build or migration. Best when scope is clear.
• Monthly retainer: ongoing development, CRO, and support. One 2026 pricing guide puts typical agency retainers at $3,000 to $10,000 per month (Swell).
• Dedicated developer or hourly: you buy time from a developer or team. Common with offshore agencies.

Location changes the price a lot. A senior offshore team usually costs less per hour than a US or UK agency for similar development work, though you trade some time-zone overlap.

Typical Shopify project budgets (one agency's published ranges, USD)

Source: Netalico's 2026 partner guide. Treat these as a rough guide; your quote depends on catalog size, integrations, and custom checkout work.

Price the first 12 months, not just the build. Add the build, apps, any separate email or marketing agency, and ongoing development. A lower build quote can end up costing more once those are counted. Ask every agency for a 12-month estimate in the same format so you can compare them side by side.

How long does a Shopify Plus agency project take?

Most mid-market Shopify Plus projects launch 8 to 12 weeks after kickoff, while enterprise migrations with custom integrations, B2B catalogs, or several markets take 16 to 24 weeks (Netalico). Most of the variation comes from data migration and redirect mapping, not theme work.

The same source breaks a project into discovery (2 to 4 weeks), design and development (4 to 12 weeks), and testing (1 to 3 weeks), followed by ongoing optimization. Two moments deserve a hard sign-off: approving the scope before the build starts, and the go-live decision after testing. 

Shopify Plus agency vs freelancer vs in-house team

An agency suits projects that need several skills at once, like a migration with design, development, and integrations. A freelancer suits small, well-defined tasks. An in-house team makes sense once you have steady, full-time work for developers.

Many brands mix them: an agency for the migration, then an in-house developer or a smaller retainer for ongoing changes.

2026 changes every Shopify Plus agency should handle

The biggest test of a Shopify Plus agency this year is whether it works with Shopify Functions and the new checkout tools. Four changes matter most.

AI search and agentic commerce

Shoppers increasingly find products through AI tools, not only Google. Shopify's Spring 2026 Editions centered on agentic commerce, positioning Shopify as a platform for selling inside AI channels (tante-e). Product catalogs are increasingly surfaced by ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity, and the accuracy of your product data decides whether your items get recommended (Fudge).

Ask any agency you're considering:

• How do you structure product data, metafields, and schema so AI tools can read our catalog?
• How will our product pages answer the questions shoppers ask AI assistants?
• Do you track traffic and sales coming from AI tools, separately from Google?

Frequently asked questions

Q: Who are the best Shopify Plus agencies in 2026?

Strong options include Domaine, We Make Websites, Eastside, Swanky, Uncap, Praella, and Absolute Web, all Platinum partners in Shopify's directory. Blend Commerce and Electric Eye are strong Plus-tier specialists, and CrawlApps suits budget-conscious brands. The best choice depends on whether you need replatforming, B2B, CRO, or development capacity.

Q: What is the difference between a Shopify Partner and a Shopify Plus Partner?

Shopify groups service partners into four tiers: Select, Plus, Premier, and Platinum. Tiers reflect experience and proven success on Shopify. "Plus" is one of those tiers, not a separate program. Any partner can build on Shopify Plus, so check the tier and named Plus projects together.

Q: How much does it cost to hire a Shopify Plus agency?

On top of Shopify's $2,300 to $2,500 monthly platform fee, agency costs depend on scope. Fixed projects suit builds and migrations, while retainers cover ongoing work, often $3,000 to $10,000 per month. Offshore agencies usually cost less per hour than US or UK agencies.

Q: Is it worth hiring a Shopify Plus agency from India?

It can be, if you check the same proof you would for any agency: directory tier, named Plus projects, and client references. Indian agencies often offer lower rates and overlap well with UK, European, and GCC hours. For US brands, confirm meeting times and response times in writing.

Q: Which Shopify Plus agency is best for Magento to Shopify Plus migration?

Look for an agency with named Magento migrations in its directory profile. On this list, Eastside (Lazy Oaf, Gold Collagen), Swanky (Natural Instinct, from Adobe Commerce), and Absolute Web all show Magento work. Ask how they protect SEO with redirects and how they move order history.

Q: What is the best Shopify Plus agency for B2B?

Uncap is the clearest B2B specialist here. It focuses on manufacturers and distributors and reached Platinum status in October 2025. Swanky has also migrated a B2B store from Adobe Commerce. Ask any B2B agency about ERP integration, price lists, and payment terms.

Q: Which Shopify Plus agencies can migrate Shopify Scripts to Functions?

Scripts stopped running on June 30, 2026, so any serious Plus agency should already do this work. Ask for a specific example: which Script logic they replaced, which Function or app replaced it, and how they tested it before launch.

Q: How long does a Shopify Plus migration take with an agency?

It depends on catalog size, integrations, and custom checkout logic. A store with a simple catalog and few integrations moves much faster than a multi-store B2B setup with an ERP. One Shopify Plus agency reports mid-market migrations launching 8 to 12 weeks after kickoff, and enterprise migrations with custom integrations, B2B catalogs, or multiple markets taking 16 to 24 weeks (Netalico). [ADD: CrawlApps' own typical timelines]

Q: Shopify Plus agency vs freelancer: which is better?

An agency is better for migrations and multi-skill projects because it covers design, development, and QA, and work continues if someone leaves. A freelancer is better for small, clearly defined tasks on a tight budget.

Q: Do I need a Platinum Shopify partner?

Not always. Platinum partners suit large, complex enterprise projects. Many growing brands get better value and more senior attention from a Plus or Select partner with the right specialty. Match the agency to your problem first, then check the tier.

Q: Can I switch Shopify Plus agencies without losing data or rankings?

Yes, if the new agency runs a handoff audit first. They should confirm you own the theme code and app accounts, document existing redirects and custom code, and check site speed before changing anything. Rankings usually drop when a switch skips that audit, not because of the switch itself.

Q: Should I hire a US-based or an offshore Shopify Plus agency?

A US or UK agency is easier for real-time meetings and local-market marketing. An offshore agency usually costs less per hour for the same development work. Many brands combine them: a local strategy partner with an offshore development team. Either way, agree on meeting hours and response times in writing.

Q: When is my business ready for Shopify Plus?

You're likely ready when you need checkout customization, B2B wholesale, multiple storefronts, or automation that standard plans can't handle. Revenue is only a rough signal; agency estimates put the break-even around $1.5M to $2M in annual sales. Complex operations can justify Plus earlier.

Pick the agency that fits your bottleneck

There is no single best Shopify Plus agency, only the best one for your problem. Enterprise replatforms belong with a Platinum systems integrator. B2B belongs with a B2B specialist. A store that already works but converts poorly needs a CRO team, not a rebuild.

Shortlist two or three agencies from this list, check their tier in Shopify's Partner Directory, and ask each one how they'd handle your Scripts-to-Functions logic. The answers will tell you more than any portfolio.

If you want senior Shopify Plus development at offshore rates, talk to the Crawlapps team or get a free store audit. If another agency on this list fits you better, we'll say so.
