Shopify Solutions

When you need checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions for custom discount, shipping or payment logic, B2B features, multiple storefronts under one account, or the higher API limits that high volume requires. If your requirement is essentially a well-built consumer store at moderate volume, standard Shopify with a good theme does the job and the difference is better spent elsewhere. The honest test is whether you can name a specific capability you need that only Plus provides.

Full control of the front end, the ability to use React and modern tooling, and potentially excellent performance. What it costs you is app compatibility — most Shopify apps assume a Liquid storefront and simply will not work — plus a build and hosting pipeline you now own, and merchandising workflows like theme editing and preview that must be rebuilt for your team. It is a strong fit for large catalogues with a dedicated front-end team, and usually the wrong answer for a brand that mainly needs a fast, easily merchandised store.

We can, though we would first check whether an established subscription app meets your needs, because they handle the tedious parts — dunning, card updater services, customer portals — that are easy to underestimate. Custom is justified when your billing logic is genuinely unusual: variable pricing per cycle, complex bundling, or a model no app expresses. If we build it, the design centres on the failure paths — expired cards, retries, skips, mid-cycle changes — since those are where subscription revenue is actually lost.

Yes. Shopify Plus includes native B2B with company accounts, catalogues and price lists, which covers a good proportion of requirements. Beyond that we build purchase-order flows, credit terms, approval chains, quantity-break pricing and account-specific catalogues. The design question worth settling early is whether B2B and consumer share one storefront or run separately, because the answer affects the data model and is expensive to change later.

Shopify Markets handles currency, pricing and local payment methods reasonably well, with per-market price adjustments and domains. The parts that need real attention are tax and duty — whether you present prices inclusive of duty or collect at delivery materially affects conversion and complaints — plus shipping rules, returns logistics per region, and content localisation. The technical setup is usually the smallest piece of an international launch.

Yes, through the Admin API with a middleware layer rather than direct coupling, so either side can change without rewriting the other. The critical decision is ownership: which system is authoritative for inventory, pricing and customer records. Two systems both believing they own stock levels is the most common failure in commerce integration, and it must be settled explicitly rather than assumed.

A well-built theme with standard integrations typically takes eight to fourteen weeks. Add subscriptions, B2B or ERP integration and it is realistically four to seven months. Migrations depend heavily on data quality in the source platform, which is the variable that most often extends a timeline — messy product data takes longer to map than anyone estimates at kickoff.

You do, on payment — theme code, custom apps and configuration. The Shopify account, domain and third-party services should be in your organisation's name from the beginning. Handover to your team is built into the closing sprints, so running, merchandising and extending the store never depends on us still being involved.
