Shopify: The Perfect Solution for Medium and Large Businesses Looking to Grow
There are many reasons why Shopify is considered the best ecommerce platform in the world, leading many companies to migrate to Shopify.
Shopify is not just an e-commerce platform; it is a business management platform that achieves global success for a reason. The system enables businesses to undergo digital transformation, streamline systems, save resources, and optimize traditional commerce processes. It supports the entire sales chain with advanced tools for inventory management, warehouses, shipping, customer service, marketing, marketing automation, and more. As a cloud-based SaaS system, it eliminates concerns about servers, security, and updates. Shopify's vast ecosystem is managed by Shopify, offering excellent apps for all needs. Additionally, Shopify continuously improves and adds capabilities based on research from the six million stores on the platform. In essence, Shopify handles numerous technological aspects, allowing brands to focus on sales. So, if you are considering migrating to Shopify or are on one of the basic plans and wondering about the benefits of upgrading to the premium plan, this article is for you!
Here are six reasons why Shopify Plus can elevate your business:
1. Shopify Plus is cost-effective for large businesses
Shopify Plus users pay significantly lower transaction fees than Shopify Advanced users. Therefore, if your costs are already high, Plus might be the natural choice regardless of the other benefits. This is both an advantage of Shopify Plus and a way to assess if the Plus plan suits you better. For example, if a business processes monthly orders amounting to a certain sum, on Shopify Advanced, they will pay more in transaction fees than on Shopify Plus. However, as monthly revenues grow, transaction fees will rise, eventually surpassing the cost of Plus. At this point, it’s wise to switch to Plus. The calculation is such that Shopify Plus becomes more cost-effective for significant monthly revenues. This is an advantage of Shopify Plus and a way to evaluate if Plus is the right step for your business.
2. Custom Checkout
Previously, only Shopify Plus users could customize their checkout process. The situation has slightly changed, but Shopify Plus still provides greater control over the checkout process, allowing you to design and control the customer journey at the critical payment stage. With apps available in the Shopify app store or through custom development, you can create personalized strategies to increase cart value, such as cross-sale, up-sale, loyalty programs, subscription purchases, and more. This way, you provide a more positive and precise shopping experience for store visitors and enjoy higher conversion rates on the best checkout in the world.
3. Automatic efficiency with Launchpad
The Launchpad app allows you to create automation for product launches, quick promotions, and marketing events. Each typically requires several routine and time-consuming tasks—manually entering information repeatedly. With Launchpad, the entire process becomes automated and pre-planned, saving a lot of time and enabling more efficient events and, consequently, higher sales. These sales can be tracked in real-time using Launchpad’s simple dashboard, providing insights into the performance of your promotional events. The information is displayed in real time, allowing for on-the-fly optimization. If customer behavior shifts in a particular direction, promotional events can be updated to capitalize on the specific trend.
4. Dedicated B2B sales channel
Shopify Plus has brought everything great in the D2C world to business to business sales. The platform allows brands to manage both the D2C and B2B sales channels on the same site, and have all the data and flows in one place. Offering numerous features for the B2B sector, including a dedicated and free B2B theme, creating a unique profile for each business customer that can be managed and viewed with all the customer’s details, a convenient order system tailored to the business needs, customized catalogs showing variable prices based on the viewing customer, a personal area for self-management on the site, flexible payment options, and many additional tools that enhance the business customer experience.
5. Shopify Plus allows a more significant number of API calls
As a platform that sees itself as a business management system, Shopify allows integrations with third-party systems. APIs are interfaces that enable these systems to communicate with Shopify. They receive requests and send responses whenever something happens in your store. Shopify limits the number of calls for each client. However, Shopify Plus users have twice the allocated calls, meaning Plus sites can handle heavier traffic without issues.
6. Personal Success Manager
Shopify Plus customers receive a personal success manager who accompanies your business in every aspect of Shopify and has a skilled support team behind them. They can be an integral part of your success on Shopify Plus. You can consult them about your business growth strategy and goal identification and receive professional information and regular updates from the ecommerce industry.
