The cost of moving to Shopify Plus can seem daunting in comparison to other packages available on Shopify. The answer to whether it is worth depends on where your business is now and what your plans are for the future.
There is no doubt that for growing businesses, with plans to go global then Shopify Plus is fantastic value for money. Shopify takes a lot of the headaches out of running an eCommerce business, it's low maintenance, self-serve and incredibly reliable. It will give you peace of mind and allow you to concentrate on the areas of business that need your focus.
Consider whether or not you need the extra support and unique features that Shopify Plus has to offer to make sure it's worth your investment. As a rule of thumb if your annual turnover is over £1 million and growing then Shopify Plus should certainly be on your shortlist and we would be happy to give you a demo and discuss the ways it can help you on your journey to retail glory.
Shopify Plus plans start at $2,000 per month. When compared to similar packages such as annual Magento licences then this is great value for money as you will not have to invest in expensive support structures to maintain your website once built. Shopify does the heavy lifting for you.
You will also need to consider the cost of the website itself. If you are considering Shopify Plus then you probably should not be looking at a 'bought-theme' website. You should be considering your customer's unique user behviour and finessing your brand message as well as developing some custom features that make your website stand out from the pack.
For this reason you should probably be thinking about a bespoke build on Shopify 2.0. We would recommend you budget $20k-30k. This investment should be sufficient for at least 3 years and should be viewed as a cost over that period. We adivse our clients to budget 2-3% of their annual turnover for all their website tech related costs.
