Best Shopify Agencies in 2026

13 Shopify Platinum-tier agencies listed by partner tenure (Nov 2026), with locations, team size, services and named clients from official sources.

A Shopify agency is a firm that designs, builds, migrates and optimises online stores on Shopify, the commerce platform used by 5.4% of all websites according to W3Techs' November 2026 survey. Agencies range from theme customisers to enterprise systems integrators that build custom apps, checkout extensions and headless storefronts for large brands.

This list covers thirteen agencies that held Shopify's top Platinum tier in the Shopify Partner Directory when checked in November 2026. They are ordered by the year each became a Shopify partner, as shown on its directory profile, with the longest-standing first. Each entry draws on the agency's directory profile and its own website: location, partner tenure, team size estimate, services, industries and clients the agency names publicly. None of the agencies publishes standard prices.

What is a Shopify agency

Shopify merchants can set up a store themselves using themes and apps, but larger brands typically hire a partner for design, development, migrations from other platforms, integrations with ERP and warehouse systems, international expansion and ongoing optimisation. Shopify maintains a Partner Directory that, in its own words, lists established Shopify agency partners so that merchants can explore partners and contact them directly.

Shopify agencies differ from general web design agencies and digital marketing agencies in that their core skill is the Shopify platform itself: its theme language, checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions, metafields, Markets for international selling, and the app ecosystem. Many also offer adjacent services such as conversion rate optimisation, email and SMS retention, and paid media.

The category overlaps with ecommerce agencies that work on several platforms (Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce), with UX design agencies and with performance marketing firms. Readers comparing those categories can consult the lists of best ecommerce platform, best Shopify apps, best Shopify themes, best UX design agencies and best PPC agencies.

History and market

Shopify's growth has created a large services ecosystem around it. The company's investor page cites US$1.6 trillion in cumulative merchandise volume processed since its inception, and its third-quarter 2026 results, published on 3 November 2026, reported revenue growth of 32%. In W3Techs' content-management survey, Shopify powers 5.4% of all websites, second only to WordPress.

Shopify organises partners into tiers. Until the end of 2026 the agency tiers include Select, Plus, Premier and Platinum, with Platinum the highest; an April 2026 report counted 86 Platinum partners worldwide and 15 in the UK. Shopify has announced that the Select, Plus and Premier tiers retire on 1 January 2027, when partners will be recognised in four tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond) based on attributed gross merchandise volume and number of attributed shops: Platinum will require US$50 million of GMV and 20 shops over four years, and Diamond US$500 million and 25 shops.

The 2027 model also makes Partner Directory eligibility a benefit from the Silver tier upwards, and tiers will update daily, with a minimum six-month hold once reached; partners could preview their 2027 tier from 4 November 2026. No research firm's market-size estimate for Shopify services was consulted for this list, and none is quoted.

Key features to compare

Partner tier and tenure

Tier reflects the commercial volume and number of shops an agency has delivered on Shopify; tenure, shown as 'partner since' on each profile, indicates how long it has worked with the platform. All agencies here are Platinum; tenure ranges from 2012 to 2022.

Team size and capacity

Shopify estimates team size in bands (11–50, 51–200) and active projects (6–25, 25+). Smaller teams such as Platter and Rainy City may offer more senior attention; larger firms such as Praella or Lazer can staff bigger programmes.

Technical depth

Look for checkout and customer-account customisation, Shopify Functions, custom app and API development, and headless experience if the project requires them. Lazer Technologies and Third and Grove emphasise engineering and multi-platform stacks.

Migration experience

Brands moving from Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce or SAP should favour agencies with those platforms in their background, such as Tryzens or Colorz (Magento).

Industry and market fit

Directory profiles list top industries and markets. Regional agencies (The Working Party and Convert Digital in Australia, Ask Phill in the Netherlands, Colorz in France) bring local-market knowledge and language.

Post-launch services

Retention marketing (Ask Phill, Praella), CRO and paid media (Rainy City, 1R) and managed services (Third and Grove) affect whether one agency can cover the store's ongoing growth.

Verifiable references

Directory profiles can show client relationships verified by Shopify, as on Tryzens' and Rainy City's profiles; these are stronger evidence than logo strips.

Pricing models

None of the thirteen agencies publishes standard prices on its website or Shopify profile; all quote per project. Typical engagement structures in the sector are fixed-price builds or migrations scoped after a discovery phase, monthly retainers for ongoing development and optimisation, and time-and-materials billing for staff augmentation, as Lazer Technologies offers.

Costs depend on scope (theme customisation versus custom apps and integrations), catalogue size, number of markets and languages, and the seniority of the team. Buyers should request a detailed statement of work, clarify ownership of code and design files, and understand the cost of post-launch support.

Shopify's own subscription and app fees are separate from agency fees. On Shopify's euro-zone pricing page in November 2026, plans ran from €19 per month (Basic, yearly billing) to €289 (Advanced), with Plus from €2,100 per month.{R(29)}

How to choose

Start with region and language. Brands in Australia and New Zealand can compare The Working Party and Convert Digital; in the UK, Quickfire Digital, Rainy City and Tryzens; in continental Europe, Ask Phill and Colorz; in North America, 1R, P3 Media, Third and Grove, Praella, Platter and Lazer Technologies.

Then match the agency's strengths to the project. Enterprise re-platforming from other commerce systems favours Tryzens, Third and Grove or Lazer. Direct-to-consumer brands focused on conversion and retention may prefer Praella, Platter or Ask Phill. Brands wanting store builds combined with paid media can consider 1R or Rainy City.

Finally, verify references: ask for live stores built in the last two years in the same industry, speak to those clients, and check whether relationships are verified on the agency's Shopify profile. The tier changes on 1 January 2027 mean that badges may shift; an agency's track record matters more than the label.

Methodology

Agencies were included if their Shopify Partner Directory profile displayed the Platinum tier badge when checked in November 2026. Candidate profiles were located through the directory and web search; the list is therefore a selection of Platinum partners rather than all of them (an April 2026 report put the worldwide total at 86). Agencies are ordered by the 'partner since' year shown on their profile, earliest first, with ties ordered alphabetically.

Facts come from each agency's Shopify directory profile and, where accessible, its own website, plus press reports where cited. Team-size bands and active-project counts are Shopify's estimates; figures quoted by agencies (staff, clients, GMV) are their own claims. Clients are listed only where the agency or its Shopify profile names them. No reviews, star ratings, interviews or hands-on assessments were used, and the order does not imply a quality judgement.

The list

1

The Working Party

Best for: Large retailers in Australia and New Zealand

The Working Party is a Shopify agency based in Hawthorn, Melbourne. Its Shopify Partner Directory profile shows the Platinum badge and a partner-since date of 2012, the earliest of any agency on this list, with an estimated team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects. The agency's website describes it as having been Shopify specialists for 16 years and serving 'Australia and New Zealand's leading retailers'.

Its directory profile lists storefront and theme customisation, checkout and customer-account customisation, Shopify Functions, custom app and API development, internationalisation and platform migration as its top services, with apparel and accessories, home and garden, and food and beverages as its main industries; its top markets are Australia, the United States and New Zealand. Its website organises its work into strategy and optimisation, design and creative, technology and performance, and growth and expansion.

The client list published on its website is weighted towards large Australian retailers, including JB Hi-Fi, Lovisa, The Good Guys, Seafolly, KOOKAÏ and Youfoodz, as well as LEGO and New Era. That makes it a natural shortlist candidate for retailers in Australia and New Zealand migrating large catalogues to Shopify. The agency does not publish prices, team headcount or a founding year, and its single listed office means that clients in other time zones would be served remotely.

Key features

  • Platform migration
  • Checkout and customer-account customisation
  • Shopify Functions
  • Custom app and API development
  • Internationalisation and markets
  • Storefront and theme customisation

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

2

1R Agency

Best for: Lifestyle and beauty brands wanting build plus marketing

1R Agency, whose Shopify directory URL retains the older 'onerockwell' name and whose former domain onerockwell.com now redirects to 1r.agency, holds Platinum status in the Shopify Partner Directory with a partner-since date of 2016. Its directory profile gives Miami as its primary location, an estimated team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects, with the United States, Canada and Poland as top markets and English and Spanish as working languages.

Its listed Shopify services are checkout and customer-account customisation, Shopify Functions, storefront and theme customisation, custom app and API development, platform migration, and retail and POS; its main industries are apparel and accessories, health and beauty, and home and garden. The agency's own website describes it as a New York digital marketing agency and lists a broader set of services than most Shopify specialists: onboarding, paid media, email and SMS, SEO, UX, web design, development, ecommerce management, managed services and content strategy.

Clients named on its website include Maison Louis Marie, Westman Atelier and Silver Oak Cellars. The combination of build work with ongoing paid media and retention services suits brands that want one partner for the store and for growth marketing. The agency does not publish pricing, a founding year or exact headcount, and its locations differ between its directory profile (Miami) and its website (New York).

Key features

  • Checkout customisation and Shopify Functions
  • Retail and POS
  • Paid media and SEO
  • Email and SMS marketing
  • Managed ecommerce services

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

3

Ask Phill

Best for: European fashion and lifestyle brands

Ask Phill is an Amsterdam-based Shopify agency with offices on Keizersgracht. Its Shopify directory profile shows Platinum status, a partner-since date of 2016, an estimated team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects, with the Netherlands, the United States and the United Kingdom as top markets and English, Spanish and French as working languages.

The agency's website cites more than 200 Shopify stores launched, a team of more than 60 experts and more than ten years of experience, and describes itself as a Shopify Plus Platinum Partner. Its services are grouped as Shopify migration, strategy, design, development and retention, the last covering email and customer platforms such as Klaviyo, Bloomreach and Voyado. The directory lists its top industries as apparel and accessories, health and beauty, and home and garden.

Brands shown on its website include American Eagle, Bestseller, Naked Copenhagen, North Sails, Obey, Pas Normal Studios, Patta, Puig, Stokke, Suitsupply and Veloretti. The strong representation of European fashion and lifestyle labels makes Ask Phill a common candidate for brands in the Benelux and Nordics. The difference between its own team figure (60+) and Shopify's estimated range (51–200) is not explained, and the agency publishes no pricing.

Key features

  • Shopify migration
  • Retention with Klaviyo, Bloomreach and Voyado
  • Checkout and Shopify Functions
  • Internationalisation and markets
  • Design and brand strategy

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

4

P3 Media

Best for: Brands needing custom apps and POS integration

P3 Media is a Platinum-tier Shopify partner whose directory profile gives Edgewater, United States, as its primary location and 2016 as its partner-since year. The profile estimates a team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects, lists the United States, Canada and Germany as top markets, and gives English, Spanish and French as working languages.

Its listed services are custom app and API development, checkout and customer-account customisation, storefront and theme customisation, Shopify Functions, retail and POS, and internationalisation and markets, and its top industries are apparel and accessories, media, and food and beverages. The profile opens with the claim that P3 Media is 'the digital agency powering today's top-selling Shopify brands', a marketing statement that the directory does not substantiate with named clients.

The combination of custom app development, POS and internationalisation suggests a focus on brands selling across channels and countries, and its presence in the media industry category is unusual among Shopify agencies. P3 Media's own website was not reviewed for this list, and the directory profile names no clients, so prospective clients should request case studies. Like other agencies here, it publishes no pricing.

Key features

  • Custom app and API development
  • Retail and POS
  • Internationalisation and markets
  • Checkout customisation
  • Shopify Functions

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

5

Rainy City Agency

Best for: Mid-sized brands wanting design, CRO and paid media

Rainy City Agency is a Shopify Platinum partner based in Manchester, United Kingdom, with a partner-since date of 2016. Its directory profile describes it as helping ecommerce brands scale through bespoke design, Shopify development, conversion rate optimisation and paid media, and estimates a team of 11–50 people with more than 25 active projects.

The profile lists storefront and theme customisation, platform migration, checkout and customer-account customisation, Shopify Functions, custom app and API development, and internationalisation and markets as top services; its main industries are health and beauty, apparel and accessories, and home and garden. Its top markets are the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Clients whose relationships are listed on the profile include Thursday Boot Company, Bird & Blend Tea Co., Sparkle In Pink, Noodoll, TTrue Toys and Amicci. With a smaller estimated team than most Platinum partners on this list, Rainy City is a fit for mid-sized brands that want senior attention and a combined design, CRO and paid-media service. Its website could not be reached during this review, so the agency's own claims about founding date and headcount were not checked, and it publishes no pricing.

Key features

  • Bespoke Shopify design
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • Paid media
  • Platform migration
  • Internationalisation and markets

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

6

Third and Grove

Best for: Enterprise beauty and CPG brands with complex stacks

Third and Grove (TAG) is a Boston-based agency with a Platinum Shopify partner badge and a partner-since date of 2016. Its directory profile estimates a team of 51–200 people, lists the United States, Switzerland and the United Kingdom as top markets, and names health and beauty, apparel and accessories, and food and beverages as top industries; the profile description cites work for P&G, Amorepacific and Stanley 1913.

Unlike most agencies on this list, Third and Grove is not a Shopify-only shop: its website lists Shopify Plus alongside Contentful, Drupal, Acquia and WordPress, and groups its services as agentic (AI), strategy, creative, technology and managed services. Clients named on its website include Brooks Running, Stanley 1913, Reef, Coola, Grande Cosmetics, Bellacor and Jared, as well as non-retail organisations such as Western Alliance and Littler.

Its multi-platform background is useful for enterprise brands combining a Shopify store with a headless CMS or an existing Drupal or WordPress estate. The flip side is that Shopify is one of several practices, so buyers should confirm the size of the dedicated Shopify team. TAG's website lists only a Boston office and does not publish pricing or a founding year.

Key features

  • Checkout customisation and Shopify Functions
  • Products and metafield management
  • Headless builds with Contentful
  • Managed services
  • AI and agentic commerce work

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

Convert Digital

Best for: Australian brands wanting a local, multi-city partner

Convert Digital is a Platinum-tier Shopify partner whose directory profile gives Abbotsford, Australia, as its primary location and 2017 as its partner-since year, and states that it is based in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The profile estimates a team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects.

Its website lists offices in Abbotsford (Melbourne), Surry Hills (Sydney) and South Brisbane, and says that for ten years it has partnered with some of Australia's best-known brands. Services include web development, design and UX, development strategy, systems integration, migrations, ongoing support, conversion rate optimisation, retail strategy, headless development and digital strategy, with retail and POS work delivered with a partner, Make Retail.

Named clients include Ghanda, Aje Collective, Boody, Henne, Thankyou, Koko Black, 2XU, Price Attack, Bstore and Makeup Cartel; testimonials on the site refer to relationships dating from 2018 (Koko Black) and 2021 (Price Attack). The three-city presence is an advantage for Australian brands wanting local, in-person collaboration. Outside Australia the agency's references are thinner, and it does not publish pricing.

Key features

  • Systems integration
  • Headless development
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • Retail strategy and POS (with Make Retail)
  • Ongoing website support

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

Praella

Best for: DTC and subscription brands

Praella is a Shopify agency whose directory profile gives Chicago as its primary location, shows the Platinum badge and a partner-since year of 2018, and states that it is Great Place to Work certified with more than 135 team members. Shopify's directory estimates its team at 51–200 people.

Praella's website cites more than 15 years of industry experience, more than 100 ecommerce experts, 68 active merchants and more than 1,000 projects launched, and describes the firm as a 'Proud Shopify Platinum Partner'; a post on its site dated 5 March 2026 is titled 'We Just Hit Platinum'. Its services include lifecycle revenue optimisation, user experience and design, web and app development, strategy and consultation, and it lists integration experience with Recharge, Klaviyo, Gorgias, Yotpo, Okendo, Algolia and Avalara.

Named clients include Fenty Beauty, Billie Eilish fragrances, CrunchLabs, Battlbox, Danessa Myricks Beauty and Espro. The agency's mix of subscription, retention and development work suits direct-to-consumer brands with subscription models. Its website quotes an average growth figure for Shopify Plus brands without stating the basis, which this list does not repeat; buyers should ask for methodology behind such claims. It does not publish pricing.

Key features

  • Lifecycle revenue optimisation
  • Custom app and API development
  • Subscription integrations (Recharge)
  • Retail and POS
  • Platform migration

Pricing

Quickfire Digital

Best for: UK and Irish brands in a growth phase

Quickfire Digital was founded in Norwich in 2017 by Nathan Lomax, Martin Harper and Fred Cohen, according to an April 2026 CMOtech UK report on its promotion to Shopify's Platinum tier. The report states that Quickfire was one of 86 Platinum partners worldwide and 15 in the UK at the time, that it employs 40 people, and that it has offices in London and Dubai as well as its Norfolk base.

Its Shopify directory profile shows Platinum status, a partner-since year of 2018 and Norwich as primary location, with an estimated team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects; top markets are the United Kingdom, the United States and Ireland. Listed services include storefront and theme customisation, custom app and API development, checkout and customer-account customisation, platform migration, internationalisation and new store set-up, and top industries are apparel and accessories, food and beverages, and health and beauty.

The CMOtech report says the agency works with brands through growth and scaling phases rather than one-off projects. No clients are named on the directory profile or in the report, and the agency's website returned an access error during this review, so case studies were not checked. The team figure in the press report (40) sits below Shopify's estimated range, a discrepancy buyers may want to clarify.

Key features

  • New store set-up
  • Platform migration
  • Internationalisation and markets
  • Custom app and API development
  • Checkout customisation

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

Colorz

Best for: French-speaking fashion and retail brands

Colorz is a Paris digital creative agency that has operated since 2006 and belongs to Groupe Davidson; its website lists its headquarters at avenue Parmentier in Paris's 11th arrondissement and a group office in Boulogne-Billancourt. It describes itself as a Shopify Platinum Partner.

Its Shopify directory profile confirms the Platinum badge, gives a partner-since year of 2019, and estimates a team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects; working languages are English and French. Top services listed are storefront and theme customisation, platform migration, custom app and API development, checkout customisation, internationalisation and markets, and Shopify Functions, with apparel and accessories, health and beauty, and food and beverages as main industries.

Colorz's website lists a wider service range than Shopify alone, covering Magento, consulting and branding, content, social media, UX/UI design, acquisition, CRM and conversion rate optimisation; named clients include Ami Paris, Drôle de Monsieur, Footkorner and Mathon. For French, Belgian and Swiss brands, it offers French-language delivery and fashion-sector experience. As a multi-platform agency, its Shopify team is part of a larger practice, and it publishes no pricing.

Key features

  • Platform migration
  • Internationalisation and markets

  • Magento alongside Shopify
  • Branding, content and social media

Lazer Technologies

Best for: Enterprise brands needing custom engineering

Lazer Technologies is a Toronto-based engineering and design firm that announced its Shopify Platinum status in a press release dated 4 February 2025, describing Platinum as the highest designation in Shopify's 2025 partner update. The release listed hubs in Toronto, Vancouver, New York, San Francisco and London, more than 100 senior engineers, designers and product managers, and more than 350 clients, naming SKIMS, Authentic Brands Group, Mattel, MeUndies and Universal Music Group.

Its Shopify directory profile shows Platinum status, a partner-since year of 2019 and Toronto as primary location, with an estimated team of 51–200 people and English and French as languages. Clients listed on the profile include Canada Goose, Holt Renfrew, FIGS, goop, SKIMS and Brooklinen. Its website in November 2026 cited more than 400 clients and more than 150 senior engineers, and positioned the firm increasingly around AI systems for enterprises, startups and AI labs, alongside Shopify product development and staff augmentation.

Lazer is best suited to brands that need heavy custom engineering, such as apps, integrations or headless storefronts, rather than theme-based design. Its growing AI focus means Shopify is one practice among several. Headcount figures vary between its press release, website and directory profile, and it does not publish pricing.

Key features

  • Custom app and API development
  • Shopify Functions
  • Checkout customisation
  • Staff augmentation
  • AI system development

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

12

Platter

Best for: Growth-stage DTC brands

Platter is a New York-based Shopify agency with a Platinum badge and a partner-since year of 2020, making it the second-youngest partnership on this list. Its directory profile states that it has built more than 200 Shopify storefronts that together process more than US$1 billion in GMV, for brands including Neuro Gum, Gainful and Every Man Jack.

The profile describes its approach as designing and building storefronts 'that convert better, are easier to manage, and cost less to maintain', and lists storefront and theme customisation, checkout and customer-account customisation, Shopify Functions, platform migration, products and metafield management, and custom app and API development as top services. Its main industries are health and beauty, apparel and accessories, and food and beverages, and Shopify estimates its team at 11–50 people with more than 25 active projects.

Platter's emphasis on maintainability, rather than bespoke complexity, suits venture-backed and growth-stage consumer brands that need a fast, conversion-focused store their own teams can manage after launch. Its smaller team limits capacity for very large enterprise programmes, and the GMV figure is the agency's own claim. The agency's own website was not reviewed for this list, and it does not publish pricing.

Key features

  • Conversion-focused storefront design
  • Products and metafield management
  • Checkout customisation
  • Platform migration
  • Shopify Functions

Pricing

Quote-based; no prices are published on the agency's website or Shopify directory profile.

Tryzens Global

Best for: Enterprise retailers migrating from other platforms

Tryzens Global is a digital commerce agency for international brands whose Shopify directory profile shows Platinum status, a partner-since year of 2022 (the most recent on this list) and London as primary location. Its website lists offices in London, Indianapolis, Melbourne, Sofia, Sydney and Trivandrum.

The directory estimates a team of 51–200 people with 6–25 active projects and lists the United Kingdom, Australia and Hong Kong as top markets; its services cover platform migration, storefront customisation, checkout customisation, internationalisation and markets, retail and POS, and custom app and API development, with apparel, food and beverages, and hardware as main industries. Shopify-verified client relationships on the profile include GO Outdoors, Tiso, Orlebar Brown, Berry Bros. & Rudd USA and Footpatrol.

Tryzens is not a Shopify-only agency: its website lists Salesforce Commerce Cloud, SAP Hybris, commercetools and BigCommerce among its technology partners and its own products include a shopper app and composable storefront. Brands named on its site include Cotton On, Priceline Pharmacy, Zimmermann, R.M. Williams, Penfolds and Sweaty Betty. That breadth helps enterprise retailers migrating from other platforms; buyers should confirm which of these brands are on Shopify, as the site does not distinguish them.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Shopify Platinum partner?

Platinum is the highest agency tier in Shopify's partner programme as it stood in 2026, awarded on commercial impact, client delivery and verified skills. An April 2026 report counted 86 Platinum partners worldwide. From 1 January 2027, Platinum becomes the third of four tiers, requiring US$50 million of attributed GMV and 20 shops over four years, with Diamond above it.

How much does a Shopify agency cost?

None of the agencies on this list publishes standard prices; all quote per project after a discovery phase. Cost depends on scope, custom development, integrations, number of markets and ongoing support. Agency fees are separate from Shopify's own plan fees, which ranged from €19 to €289 per month on yearly billing on its euro-zone page in November 2026, with Plus from €2,100.

How do I find a Shopify agency?

Shopify's Partner Directory lists established agency partners, with profiles showing tier, location, partner-since year, services, industries and, in some cases, Shopify-verified client relationships. Merchants can contact partners directly through the directory. Shortlisting by region, industry and required services, then checking references, is the usual process.

Do I need a Shopify Plus agency?

Not necessarily. Many merchants on standard Shopify plans build stores themselves or hire smaller partners. Large brands on Shopify Plus, or those migrating from enterprise platforms, typically need agencies experienced with checkout customisation, Shopify Functions, integrations and international markets, which is where Platinum-tier partners concentrate.

What is changing in Shopify's partner tiers in 2027?

Shopify says the Select, Plus and Premier tiers retire on 1 January 2027, replaced by Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond tiers based on attributed GMV and number of attributed shops. Silver requires US$25,000 GMV and one shop over a year; Diamond US$500 million and 25 shops over four years. Tiers will update daily.

Should I choose a local Shopify agency?

Local agencies help with time zones, language, in-person workshops and knowledge of local payment methods, tax and logistics. Several Platinum partners operate in specific regions, such as The Working Party in Melbourne or Colorz in Paris. Remote collaboration is common, so specialist expertise can outweigh proximity for complex projects.

What should a Shopify agency contract include?

A clear statement of work, milestones, acceptance criteria, ownership of code and design assets, responsibility for third-party app costs, post-launch support terms and service levels. For migrations, it should cover data mapping, URL redirects and SEO preservation. Buyers should confirm who holds admin access to the Shopify store throughout.
