Shopify Plus Partner Agency
The Best Shopify Plus Agency for Serious eCommerce Brands
Creative Labs is a specialist Shopify Plus agency. We don't build WordPress sites or run paid media for dentists. Every engagement we take on is rooted in Shopify's platform — from custom Liquid theme development to headless Hydrogen builds to complex B2B configurations.
What We Build
Shopify Plus Services
Every service we offer is purpose-built for Shopify and Shopify Plus. No generalist fluff.
Custom Storefront Development
Pixel-perfect Shopify themes built on Liquid or Hydrogen, optimized for Core Web Vitals, conversion, and long-term maintainability.
Headless Commerce (Hydrogen)
React-based storefronts on Shopify's Oxygen hosting — decoupled frontend performance with the full power of Shopify's commerce engine.
Platform Migrations
Zero data-loss migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Salesforce to Shopify Plus with full SEO preservation.
B2B on Shopify Plus
Configure company accounts, custom price lists, net payment terms, and wholesale order flows — natively on Shopify Plus.
ERP & Systems Integration
Bi-directional integrations with NetSuite, SAP, Brightpearl, and custom ERPs using Shopify's Admin API and webhooks.
CRO & Performance Optimization
Ongoing conversion rate optimization programs combining A/B testing, analytics, UX improvements, and Shopify Plus features.
Agency vs In-House
Why Hire a Specialist Shopify Plus Agency Over an In-House Developer?
A single in-house Shopify developer can maintain a store and ship minor features. But when you need a migration, a headless rebuild, ERP integration, or a full CRO program running in parallel — you need a team with depth across strategy, design, and engineering.
Full team: strategist + architect + developer + QA + PM
Platform knowledge compounded across 50+ Shopify Plus projects
No recruitment cost, onboarding time, or bench risk
Scale up or down by sprint — not by headcount
Exposure to patterns from multiple industries and GMV tiers
How to Choose
What to Look for in a Shopify Plus Agency
Not all agencies that claim Shopify expertise have meaningful Plus experience. Here's what separates specialists from generalists:
Verifiable case studies with before/after metrics — not just logos
Deep knowledge of Checkout Extensibility, not just theme customization
Experience with Shopify's Admin API, Storefront API, and webhook architecture
A defined discovery process before any development starts
A post-launch support model — not just a handoff
Opinions on platform tradeoffs, not just 'yes we can do that'
Our Approach
How Creative Labs Engages on Shopify Plus Projects
Discovery Sprint
One week of stakeholder interviews, technical audits, and scope definition. You get a written brief with timeline, budget, and risk factors before we write a line of code.
Architecture & Design
We design the data model, integration architecture, and UX before development begins — avoiding expensive rework mid-project.
Agile Development
2-week sprints with demo sessions. You see progress weekly, not at the end of a 3-month black box.
Launch & Retain
Go-live support, 30-day post-launch monitoring, and optional monthly retainer for ongoing optimization and feature development.
FAQ
Shopify Plus Agency — Common Questions
What does a Shopify Plus agency actually do that a freelancer can't?
A Shopify Plus agency brings a full team — strategist, solutions architect, front-end developer, back-end developer, QA, and project manager — working under a defined process. Freelancers can handle single features but struggle with complex integrations (ERP, CRM, 3PL), large-scale migrations, and ongoing optimization programs that require multiple disciplines simultaneously.
How do I evaluate a Shopify Plus agency's credentials?
Look for verifiable case studies with measurable outcomes (revenue lift, conversion rate improvement, migration stats). Ask about their approach to Shopify's Checkout Extensibility, Hydrogen headless builds, and B2B on Shopify. Agencies with deep Plus experience will have opinions on platform-specific tradeoffs — not just generic web development answers.
What is the typical engagement cost for a Shopify Plus agency?
Shopify Plus agency projects typically range from $15,000 for a focused theme customization to $150,000+ for a full headless replatform with ERP integration. Retainer-based optimization programs often start at $5,000–$10,000/month. The ROI benchmark for Plus builds is typically 3–5x within the first year through improved conversion, faster development cycles, and reduced infrastructure overhead.
Can a Shopify Plus agency help with both B2C and B2B on the same store?
Yes — and this is one of Shopify Plus's key advantages. A specialist agency can configure Shopify's B2B on Shopify feature (custom price lists, net terms, company accounts) alongside a standard D2C experience, all on a single store. This hybrid model eliminates the need for separate platforms for wholesale and retail.
How long does a typical Shopify Plus project take with Creative Labs?
A Shopify Plus theme build typically runs 6–10 weeks. A full migration from another platform (Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce) is 8–16 weeks depending on catalog size and integration complexity. Headless Hydrogen builds run 12–20 weeks. All projects start with a 1-week discovery sprint that locks in timeline and scope before development begins.
