Overview

Shopify Plus is Shopify’s enterprise commerce offering. Shopify launched the product in February 2014 for rapidly growing merchants and larger businesses requiring additional support, customization, and API capacity.

The platform supports online stores, B2B commerce, international markets, headless storefronts, retail locations, and custom integrations. It uses Shopify’s hosted infrastructure while extending checkout, automation, developer, and organizational controls.

Shopify Plus is best suited to brands operating several markets, channels, or storefronts. It can also fit merchants that need native B2B catalogs, advanced checkout logic, or integration with ERP, CRM, PIM, OMS, and fulfillment systems.
