When a Plus decision is too big to guess on

Plus gives you more levers, checkout extensibility, Functions, B2B, multiple expansion stores. More levers means more ways to build yourself into a corner. This is advisory to get the call right before it's expensive to change.

Architecture you can't easily undo

Store structure, markets, expansion stores and B2B setup are hard to unwind once catalogue and orders are live.

Checkout extensibility deadlines

Deciding what moves to Checkout Extensions and Functions, and what genuinely needs Plus-level customisation.

B2B vs custom wholesale

Whether native B2B covers your buyers, or whether you need custom portals, price lists and workflows on top.

Migration risk

Moving from Magento, BigCommerce or legacy Plus without losing SEO, data integrity or trading days.

App sprawl and cost

A stack of overlapping apps quietly taxing performance, margin and every future change.

Buying Plus for the wrong reason

Paying the Plus premium when a well-built standard store would do the same job.

Is this the right engagement for you

A strong fit if

You're on Plus, or weighing the upgrade, and want a senior second opinion
You have a real decision on the table, replatform, B2B launch, checkout rebuild
You want architecture and scope defined before committing a build budget
You're mid-build and need to sanity-check the technical direction
You value plain answers over a sales pitch

Not the right fit if

You want a cheap store on a template, that's not Plus territory
You need an app installed and configured, not a strategy
You want us to rubber-stamp a decision already made
You're not on Shopify and don't intend to be

We review architecture, apps, performance and data, what's holding you back and why.

Take the plan to your team, or engage us to deliver it. Your call, no lock-in.

How we keep the advice honest

Consulting is only worth it if it's independent and specific to you.

At least two viable options for every major decision
Every call documented with its reasoning and trade-offs
Performance and accessibility treated as requirements, not extras
You own every artefact we produce, from day one

Common questions

No. A common reason to engage us is to decide whether the Plus upgrade is worth it. We'll give you a straight yes or no with the reasoning.

No. Plenty of engagements end with keep what you have, fix these three things. We recommend the path that fits your commercials, not the biggest build.

Typically one to three weeks depending on scope. A single focused decision can be quicker; a full migration strategy takes longer.

You do, in full, from the moment we hand them over. No lock-in, no licensing. Take them to any team you like.

Yes, if you want us to. But the advisory stands on its own, you're free to take the plan to your in-house team or another partner.

We assess exactly that. Part of the audit is flagging which apps stay, which get replaced, and what the migration or upgrade means for each integration.

Yes, it's one of the most common questions we're asked. We'll show you where native B2B is enough and where custom portals or price lists earn their cost.

You get a documented recommendation and a scoped plan you can act on immediately, plus a clear set of prioritised next steps. Ongoing advisory is available if you want it.
