Guide
Why Shopify gets you live so fast
Shopify handles hosting, payment integration, and security updates entirely, which lets a new shop go live considerably faster than with a self-hosted system. For smaller to mid-sized catalogs, the built-in feature set is often enough on its own, supplemented with apps from the Shopify App Store. That convenience comes at a price in the form of monthly fees and certain limits on deep customization.
Where Shopify hits its limits
With very complex B2B pricing logic, unusual order processes, or a need for full control over checkout, Shopify hits its limits in the standard version. Very large, highly custom catalogs can technically be handled too, but they often come with heavy app and customization overhead. In those cases, it's worth comparing Shopware or a custom solution.
Pricing from Basic to Plus
Shopify is licensed through monthly subscription tiers, from smaller starter plans up to Shopify Plus for companies with high revenue and a need for deeper customization, such as at checkout. As the tier rises, transaction fees drop and automation options grow. Which tier fits your catalog should be something the agency assesses based on your expected revenue and process requirements.
Apps, Liquid, and what customization means
Custom functionality on Shopify usually comes from apps in the built-in store or from customizing the Liquid templating language in the theme. That works well for presentation and many standard features, but hits systemic limits for deep changes to core processes. Ask an agency specifically which apps it uses for similar projects and how it handles app conflicts.
What a Shopify shop costs
A Shopify shop with a customized theme and standard features usually runs €6,000 to €20,000. A Shopify Plus project with custom apps and a customized checkout costs €30,000 to €100,000. Agencies charge €80 to €150 per hour, plus the monthly Shopify fees depending on tier.
You can find suitable providers through search or by submitting a request directly. For an overview of other shop systems, see e-commerce agencies; for more customized B2B requirements, Shopware is also worth a look.
Frequently asked questions
Shopify agencies: questions and answers
What does a Shopify shop cost?
A Shopify shop with a customized theme usually costs €6,000 to €20,000, and a Shopify Plus project with custom apps €30,000 to €100,000. Agencies charge €80 to €150 per hour, on top of the monthly Shopify fees.
What does monthly Shopify usage cost?
Shopify is billed through subscription tiers, with the monthly fee growing along with the feature set up to Shopify Plus for companies with very high revenue. Transaction fees also apply, and they generally drop at higher tiers. The right tier depends on expected revenue and process needs.
What is Shopify Plus?
Shopify Plus is the platform's enterprise tier, built for companies with high revenue and a need for deeper customization, such as at checkout or with several connected storefronts. The tier adds automation options and expanded support.
Can I customize Shopify?
Yes, through apps from the Shopify App Store and by customizing the Liquid templating language in your chosen theme. That works well for presentation and many standard features, while deep changes to core processes like checkout are only possible on higher tiers or not at all.
How long does building a Shopify shop take?
A shop with a customized theme and standard features usually goes live in four to eight weeks. Shopify Plus projects with custom apps and a customized checkout take two to four months depending on scope, mainly because of integrating third-party systems like an ERP or inventory management.
