Build the B2B workflows, checkout extensions and integrations your Shopify Plus store needs. Work directly with Vivek on scope, implementation and a release your team can maintain.
Plus creates leverage when platform features match the operating model.
Shopify Plus development is an implementation engagement for a defined commercial workflow. It may involve advanced B2B configuration, checkout extensions or integration work. Upgrading the plan and migrating a store are different decisions; the scope should name which of them your business actually needs. A useful brief includes sample company orders, market differences and the exceptions staff handle today. Those examples help compare native configuration, suitable apps and custom extensions, while giving finance, merchandising and operations a shared set of acceptance criteria for the first release.
Who this service is for
Established merchants needing advanced checkout, company-specific commerce or coordinated Shopify Plus implementation.
Start with the constraint that matters
Share your current plan, required business rules, markets and the systems that must participate in each order.
Turn the requirement into a workable Shopify solution.
Review the decisions, dependencies and deliverables that shape your project.
Choose Plus for a specific operating need
Start with the workflow your current store cannot support. Shopify B2B is available across Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus; having wholesale customers alone does not establish a need for Plus. Non-Plus B2B catalogs require new Shopify Markets. Company-specific catalog assignments, deposits and partial payments are examples of requirements that can change the decision. We review the current plan, markets, company structure and apps before proposing a platform change.
You receive a requirements map that separates configuration, supported extensions and integration work, with plan dependencies and recurring app costs identified. The Shopify versus Shopify Plus guide helps frame the initial discussion.
Connect checkout rules to business operations
For example, a wholesale buyer may need location-specific pricing, payment terms and a purchase order reference that reaches the ERP. We map the complete order journey: company access, catalog selection, checkout input, order data and the receiving system. Each rule needs a named owner and an agreed exception path.
Checkout UI extensions on the information, shipping and payment steps require Plus. We distinguish interface changes from backend rules and confirm each supported API before estimating checkout extensibility or Shopify Functions development. A theme change alone cannot implement every checkout requirement.
Test the combinations your team will use
The QA plan follows your actual sales model. It can cover retail and wholesale buyers, company locations, market currencies, discounts, delivery methods, payment terms and account permissions. We also test what happens when a connected system is unavailable or a buyer changes their order.
Before release, you receive a list of approved scenarios, test results and unresolved dependencies. Changes are reviewed against the current storefront and apps so the team can approve the release with the affected journeys in view. Rollback steps and post-launch checks form part of the agreed implementation scope.
Scope a release your team can maintain
The estimate depends on the number of workflows, markets, integrations and existing customizations. A single checkout requirement is different from a B2B rollout with an ERP connection and a storefront rebuild. We can separate a defined first release from later improvements and document the dependencies between them.
Handover includes the agreed configuration, extension ownership, deployment notes, merchant controls and support responsibilities. To request an estimate, share your current plan, store URL and one example of a process that needs to change. Vivek reviews the requirement and identifies where additional specialists are needed.
Identify which requirements need Plus, which fit existing capabilities and which depend on apps or operational changes.
Extension architecture
Separate checkout interfaces, server-side rules and connected systems with explicit ownership for each component.
Multi-scenario implementation
Build the agreed configuration and extensions around realistic company, market, discount and fulfillment combinations.
Operating documentation
Record extension configuration, deployment ownership, regression scenarios and recurring third-party dependencies for the team running the store.
Decisions before development
Match the commercial requirement to the implementation.
A practical planning example
A merchant considering Plus may have three different needs: company-specific purchasing, checkout changes and operational integrations. They should be evaluated separately rather than assuming a plan upgrade resolves all three.
Create a separate acceptance example for a company buyer, a retail checkout and an operational order transfer. Identify which requirements depend on the plan and which require configuration, apps or custom work. Review the total implementation and ongoing costs before approval. The resulting roadmap should show dependencies and release order instead of presenting the upgrade as a single technical change.

What to decide
Compare native configuration, supported apps and custom implementation for each requirement. Confirm current plan and distribution eligibility during discovery; record subscription and third-party costs separately from development.
What to verify
Approve representative retail and business orders, relevant market combinations and exception handling. The release checklist should name which requirements are solved by configuration and which need ongoing software maintenance.
What to receive at handover
Request an architecture overview connecting the agreed Shopify Plus features to your operating processes. Record plan dependencies, app ownership and release checks, with guidance for the merchant tasks that continue after implementation and launch approval.

Vivek leads Shopify Plus projects involving storefronts, checkout extensions, custom apps and business-system integrations. Review his public Upwork work history alongside the project examples on this page to assess experience relevant to your store.
Share your Shopify plan, existing apps, required integrations and the customer journeys you want to improve. Identify which requirements are essential for launch and which can follow later.
Check the evidence before you hire
Use Upwork for current platform badges, work history and client feedback. Ask about comparable work and who will deliver your project; a portfolio example does not mean every project has the same scope or outcome.
Get clarity on scope, cost, ownership and the way we work. Your store, its existing systems and the outcome you need shape the recommendation.
Start with your priorities
Share your Shopify store URL, the main problem to solve, your budget range and any launch date. Include the customer journeys that need attention, the apps you rely on and the tasks your team wants to manage more easily. These details help define a useful development brief.
Know what is included
Your proposal sets out the deliverables, responsibilities, review milestones and commercial terms before development starts. Confirm which theme templates, integrations and content updates are included, along with testing and handover. Shopify subscriptions, paid apps and ongoing support should be identified separately so you can compare the full project cost.
Plan beyond the launch
Agree who owns everyday editing, technical maintenance and future releases. Handover notes explain the delivered controls, outstanding dependencies and the support included in your scope.
Not automatically. Shopify B2B is available on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus, with different feature limits. We check the company pricing, catalogs, payment terms and markets you need against your current plan before recommending an upgrade.
What does a Shopify Plus development project include?+
The agreed scope can include B2B configuration, supported checkout extensions, Shopify Functions, customer accounts, storefront changes and integrations. You receive a requirements map, implementation scope, acceptance checks and handover appropriate to that work.
Can you work on an existing Shopify Plus store?+
Yes. Share the current store and the workflow that needs to change. Existing configuration and useful app behavior are reviewed before deciding whether to configure, extend, replace or build a component.
Which checkout changes require Shopify Plus?+
Checkout UI extensions on the information, shipping and payment steps require Plus. Other extension surfaces and features have their own availability rules. We confirm the exact target and business rule during scoping.
Can Shopify Plus connect to our ERP?+
An integration can connect the supported data and workflows in Shopify and your ERP. The scope needs to define ownership, mappings, permissions, retries and reconciliation, including what staff should do when a sync fails.
How much does Shopify Plus development cost?+
The estimate depends on the workflows, integrations, markets, existing code and release requirements. Development fees are scoped separately from the Shopify plan and third-party app charges. A store URL and a concrete example of the required change help establish the next step.
What support do we receive after launch?+
The agreed handover documents configuration, code ownership, deployment and merchant controls. A defined support window, development hours or a retainer can cover ongoing needs; responsibilities and coverage are set out in the proposal.
Can Shopify Plus development be delivered in phases?+
Yes, when the workflow has useful release boundaries. A first phase might establish one approved customer or order scenario, followed by additional markets or operational features. Each phase needs its own dependencies, release checks and operating owner so partial delivery remains usable.
