Question from long305
To those who have moved over to Shopify Plus, I’d love to hear both pros and cons.
What you love. What you don’t.
Overall, do you think it’s worth it?
When we were first pitched Plus it was $2K a month. Now it’s $2,500/month or $2,300 if you commit to a 3-year agreement.
There are a few reasons why it’s appealing to me:
- Ability to customize the checkout page more
- No “waiting queue” when traffic spikes due to it being able to handle way more checkouts simultaneously
- The rate for other processors is 0.20% instead of 2% (So, if you’re doing $135,000/month in payments on a gateway other than Shopify Payments it would justify the move)
But what else are some selling points that I should be aware of?
Would love to hear opinions from those on Plus…both the good and bad.

I did not experience any significant differences between the Advanced and the Plus plans.
We moved expecting to increase the conversion rate by being able to modify the checkout. And by getting more orders we should pay the price difference. The reality is that we were not able to improve our checkout rates and we ended paying much more than before for a similar service.
Shopify was very active trying to sell us Shopify Plus. But we were not given easy options to move back when we requested for it.
My recommendation is only move when it makes sense to you because you will enjoy some savings by the lower commission, otherwise I would stay in the previous plan.
I think we moved around a year before we should have. And we regret that decision.
Now Shopify Plus makes sense for us, just because of the reduced commissions.

Usually clients will utilize a few of the plus benefits not all of them. The cost saving usually comes into play as well as checkout, dev stores and API limits for larger stores.
In general:
unlimited staff accounts
checkout customizations
increased API rate limits
access to more APis
B2B
Shopify Flow
Shopify plus support
dev stores
addon stores
headless
