Shopify Plus Plan offers an ecommerce solution for medium and large businesses with more capabilities on the Shopify platform, lower transaction fees, extensive customization options, and exclusive user tools. In this article, we will outline the key advantages that make Shopify Plus a strategic choice for businesses aiming to expand without worrying about servers, security, and updates.
Shopify: The Perfect Solution for Medium and Large Businesses Looking to Grow
There are many reasons why Shopify is the best ecommerce platform in the world, and this is what leads many companies to switch to Shopify. Shopify is not just an ecommerce platform; it’s a business management system for businesses that also operate online, and it’s successful all over the world for good reason.
The system enables businesses to undergo digital transformation, consolidate systems, save resources, and streamline workflows associated with traditional commerce. It supports the entire sales chain with advanced tools for managing inventory, warehouses, shipping, customer service, marketing, marketing automation, and more. As a cloud-based SaaS system, it eliminates the need to deal with servers, security, and updates. Shopify also manages a huge ecosystem of excellent apps for every need. In addition, Shopify is constantly improving and adding capabilities to the system, based on research into what works and what doesn’t across the 6 million stores on the platform.
In practice, Shopify takes care of many technological aspects and lets brands focus on sales. So, if you’re considering upgrading your system to Shopify, or if you’re on one of the basic plans and wondering what you stand to gain by switching 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. That has changed somewhat, but Shopify Plus still offers greater control, allowing you to design and manage the customer journey at the critical payment stage. Using apps from the Shopify App Store or custom development, you can create tailored strategies to increase cart value, including cross-selling, upselling, loyalty programs, and subscriptions. The result is a more relevant, positive shopping experience for your visitors and higher conversion rates.
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 brings the strengths of D2C commerce to business-to-business sales. Brands can manage their B2B sales channel on the same website, with a wide range of dedicated features: a free B2B theme, individual business customer profiles with all their details in one place, an ordering system tailored to business needs, custom catalogs with customer-specific pricing, self-service customer accounts, flexible payment options, and many other tools that improve the experience for business buyers.
5. Shopify Plus allows a more significant number of API calls
As a platform that sees itself as a business management system, Shopify enables integrations with third-party systems. APIs are interfaces that allow these systems to communicate with Shopify. They receive and send requests whenever something happens in your store. Shopify provides enough requests for businesses on its regular plans. But for Shopify Plus users, who have higher traffic and transaction volumes, Shopify allocates twice as many requests. This means Plus stores can handle twice the traffic without any problems.
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.
