WHAT YOU GET

Everything Shopify Plus adds.

These are the features that separate Plus from Shopify's standard plans.

Fully customisable checkout

Plus is the plan with full checkout customisation. Add your own delivery, payment and upsell logic without leaving Shopify checkout, the checkout Shopify says converts up to 36% better than competitors.

Unlimited B2B catalogs

Standard plans cap B2B at 3 catalogs. On Plus there is no cap, so every trade account can have its own prices, terms and products.

Up to 9 expansion stores

Run extra storefronts for new markets, brands or wholesale from the same Shopify account at no extra plan fee.

Set up pricing, currency and content by country or company, instead of copying a store for every market.

WHO IT IS FOR

Is Shopify Plus right for you?

Plus costs more than the standard plans, so it should earn its place. It is usually the right move when:

  • You sell wholesale and need more than 3 B2B catalogs, or trade pricing by company.
  • You trade in several countries and want pricing and content managed by market.
  • Your checkout needs custom logic that standard plans do not allow.
  • You run several storefronts, brands or regions from one account.
  • Your team and agencies need many staff logins, or your integrations hit API limits.
  • You are moving off Magento, a bespoke platform or an ERP-heavy setup and want one platform to grow into.

QUESTIONS

Shopify Plus, answered.

What is Shopify Plus?

Shopify Plus is Shopify's plan for larger and more complex businesses. Compared with the standard plans it adds a fully customisable checkout, unlimited staff accounts, unlimited B2B catalogs, up to 9 expansion stores, bot protection, higher API limits and priority 24/7 phone support.

How much does Shopify Plus cost?

Shopify lists Plus from €2,100 a month on its Ireland pricing page (checked 10 Nov 2026). Shopify can quote a different figure depending on your sales volume and contract, so confirm the current price with Shopify.

What is the difference between Shopify Plus and Advanced?

Advanced is Shopify's top standard plan. Plus adds unlimited staff accounts and B2B catalogs, full checkout customisation, up to 9 expansion stores, bot protection, much higher API limits and priority support. The comparison table on this page sets them side by side.

Do I need Shopify Plus to sell B2B?

Not always. Standard Shopify plans include B2B with up to 3 catalogs. Plus removes that limit and adds the checkout, market and staff features larger trade businesses tend to need. See our Shopify Plus B2B page for the detail.

Can I move to Shopify Plus from another platform?

Yes. Shopify describes replatforming to Plus with core systems connected, and quotes EY research saying implementations are 20% faster than competitors. We can plan the move with you, including redirects so you keep your search rankings.
