What will it cost, how long will it take, and do you even need Plus?
Build pricing is ours. Platform pricing is Shopify's published pricing. The verdict is honest either way, including when the answer is "stay on Advanced".

2Annual online revenue drag
$250K$1M$5M$20M+
Plus charges 0.18% on B2B revenue against 0.35% on D2C, so a wholesale mix lowers the platform fee at scale.

How this is calculated
Build bands are our published starting points: focused work from $2,500, theme builds from $12K, Plus builds and migrations $25K to $150K+, headless from $15K, and they scale with revenue, catalogue and integration count. Platform figures use Shopify's published US pricing: Plus floor $2,300/mo (3-year) or $2,500/mo (1-year), variable platform fee 0.35% of D2C sales (0.40% on 1-year) and 0.18% of B2B sales, capped at $40,000/mo, whichever of floor or fee is higher. Shopify Payments 2.15% + 30c on Plus against 2.50% + 30c on Advanced ($399/mo). Everything here is an estimate; the number in writing after the call is fixed.

Why brands hire us
Three things you will not get from a typical Shopify agency.
01
02
The engineer on the call builds the store
No account manager, no junior handoff. The person who scopes your project writes the code, runs the weekly demo and answers within 12 hours.
03
Built for what Plus is actually for
Checkout extensions, Functions, Flow, B2B company accounts, Markets. Most brands upgrade to Plus and never use them. We build around them.

Headless storefronts
Hydrogen or Next.js on the Storefront API, when the traffic and the design brief justify it.
Apps & integrations
Private apps, ERP, 3PL, CRM and booking integrations through native APIs and Flow, not stacked connectors.

Before you book
The five questions everyone asks first.
What does a Shopify Plus build cost?
Full Shopify Plus builds and migrations run from $25,000 to $150,000+, and most land around $40,000. Focused engagements start at $2,500. You get the exact number in writing within 12 hours of the call, and it does not move.
How long does it take?
Eight weeks is our average from kickoff to launch on Plus. Headless builds take 8 to 14 weeks and speed work 3 to 5. We tell you which category you are in on the call, not after you sign.
Who is actually on the call, and who does the work?
The same person. A senior Shopify engineer scopes your project on the call and builds it afterwards. There is no account-manager layer and no handoff to juniors, and replies come from an engineer within 12 hours.
Do I need Shopify Plus, or will standard Shopify do?
Not always, and we will say so. Plus earns its cost once you need checkout customisation, B2B company accounts, Flow automation or higher API limits. If you are not there yet we scope for standard Shopify and tell you what would trigger the upgrade.
What if we are not a fit?
You still leave with the written plan. We turn down work that is not worth doing and say so plainly on the call. There is no obligation and nothing to cancel.
