Shopify vs Shopify Plus
Shopify Plus is Shopify's enterprise plan for high-volume brands, starting from around £1,800 a month on a three-year term. It adds checkout customisation, B2B, automation with Shopify Flow, expansion stores and priority support. Most UK businesses don't need Plus until they have large sales or complex requirements.
