What to look for when hiring a Shopify agency

Six practical criteria to use when shortlisting studios for your Shopify project.

  • 1.Shopify Plus Partner status if your GMV is (or will be) at Plus level.
  • 2.Live storefront portfolio you can browse — not just case study screenshots.
  • 3.Experience in your category (fashion, food, B2B, subscription) and its quirks.
  • 4.A clear point of view on apps vs. custom code to avoid plugin sprawl.
  • 5.Demonstrated CRO and analytics capability post-launch, not just build.

Questions to ask during pitching

Five questions that separate real Shopify specialists from generalists with a Shopify badge.

  1. 1

    Which of your current or past clients most resembles us, and what trade-offs did you make there?

  2. 2

    Are you a Shopify Plus Partner, and when did you most recently ship a Plus build?

  3. 3

    How do you decide whether to use a Shopify app, custom code, or headless for a given need?

  4. 4

    What does a typical post-launch retainer look like, and how is CRO scoped and billed?

  5. 5

    Who specifically on your team will work on our account day to day, and what is their tenure?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose the top 25 Shopify agencies?

We reviewed Shopify Partner status (Plus where relevant), public portfolios of live storefronts, category specialization, years in business, and team stability. This is an editorial list and we don't accept payment for inclusion.

What's the difference between a Shopify Partner and a Shopify Plus Partner?

Shopify Partners are any agencies or freelancers with a Shopify partner account. Shopify Plus Partners are a smaller, vetted group that has been approved to work on Shopify Plus accounts (Shopify's enterprise tier). For larger brands, working with a Plus Partner is typically worthwhile.

How much does it cost to hire a top Shopify agency?

As a rough benchmark, Shopify theme customization from an established agency typically starts around 15,000 to 30,000 USD. Full custom Shopify Plus builds range from 50,000 to 250,000+ USD. Ongoing retainers commonly run 5,000 to 30,000 USD per month for CRO, development, and growth work.

Should I use a Shopify specialist or a full-service digital agency?

A Shopify specialist will ship a better, more maintainable store than a generalist using Shopify occasionally. If you need brand strategy, paid media, and store work together, a full-service agency with a Shopify specialist embedded or partnered can also work.

Do I need a Shopify agency if I'm just using a theme?

If you use a standard theme with minimal customization, you may not need an agency at all. Once you start customizing liquid, integrating multiple apps, or planning to move to Plus, working with a specialist typically pays back through fewer broken updates and better performance.
