Shopify Plus

Shopify Plus gives you the infrastructure. We make it work for your operations.

Plus unlocks checkout extensibility, B2B tools, advanced automation, and multi-market scale. Most implementations use 20% of that capability. We design around what you actually need — and give you an honest assessment of whether Plus is worth it.

What we deliver

Six capabilities that justify the Plus investment.

Plus makes economic sense when you need at least two of the following. We scope every engagement around the ones that move your numbers.

Checkout UI extensions

Custom checkout experience with upsells, loyalty integrations, custom fields, and payment method optimisation — within Shopify's checkout infrastructure, not a workaround around it.

Custom checkout without Script limits

B2B & wholesale portals

Customer-specific catalogues, volume pricing, net payment terms, quote workflows, and trade account management — built exactly for your wholesale process.

3× order processing velocity

Shopify Flow automation

Automated order management, fraud rules, customer tagging, fulfilment routing, and inventory workflows — without custom code that breaks on platform updates.

Hours of manual work eliminated

Multi-market & multi-store

International expansion with Shopify Markets, expansion stores, currency management, and localised content — structured to scale without duplicating your codebase.

6 markets launched simultaneously

Shopify Functions

Custom discount logic, shipping rules, and payment method visibility built at the Shopify infrastructure level — not a script workaround that breaks in edge cases.

No revenue leakage from cart discounts

Migration to Plus

Phased upgrade from standard Shopify — all custom logic remapped to Plus APIs, no disruption to live trading, fully tested before cutover.

Zero-downtime upgrade

We'll tell you if you don't need Plus.

Plus makes economic sense around €500k+ GMV — when you need checkout extensibility, B2B functionality, complex automation, or multi-market scale. If you don't need those things, we'll tell you — and build you a well-engineered standard Shopify store instead. The honest answer is always worth more than the upsell.

  • Honest assessment before you upgrade
  • Full checkout extensibility implementation
  • B2B portal development from the ground up
  • Shopify Functions — not Script workarounds

Right fit if…

Use this to quickly gauge whether this is the right engagement for your situation.

  • GMV above ~€500k/year (Plus becomes cost-effective around here)
  • Running or planning a B2B or wholesale operation alongside DTC
  • Needing checkout customisation that standard Shopify cannot support
  • Expanding to multiple international markets with different pricing or catalogues

Not sure if this is the right fit? Let's talk it through.

Client results

What clients say.

We'd worked with two agencies before Vela. Neither of them actually understood our business. Radwan did — within the first call. The platform he built us is still the best thing we've done for our online revenue.

Thomas K.

Head of eCommerce · Danish apparel brand

Straightforward, technically excellent, and he tells you what he actually thinks. We asked for a migration, he spotted three things we hadn't noticed that would have cost us later. That kind of honesty is rare.

Maria S.

Founder · DTC homeware brand

Our previous platform was a mess of custom workarounds. Radwan rebuilt the whole thing cleanly and on budget. The site is faster, the team can actually manage it, and conversions are up.

COO · Nordic B2B retailer

FAQ

Questions we always get.

It starts with a free 30-minute discovery call — no sales pitch, just an honest conversation about your situation and what you're trying to achieve. From there we scope the work, agree on a fixed price, and start. No surprises.

Fixed scope, fixed price for project work. We don't do open-ended T&M retainers — if the scope changes, we discuss it and agree a new price. Ongoing support and maintenance plans are monthly flat-rate.

You communicate directly with the person doing the work — not an account manager. We use a shared Slack channel, weekly async updates, and milestone check-ins. You'll always know exactly where things stand.

We assemble a small team of senior specialists specific to your needs — typically 2-4 people. Everyone on your project has deep experience in their domain. No juniors learning on your budget.

Yes. We offer flexible support plans from ad-hoc hours to dedicated monthly retainers. Most clients stay with us after launch for ongoing iteration, optimisation, and platform management.

Absolutely. We're comfortable in hybrid setups — working alongside your designers, marketers, or developers. We can integrate into your existing tools and workflow.
