Key Benefits of the Shopify Platform
Shopify is one of the most sought-after eCommerce platforms, and deservedly so. It's popular with SMBs and enterprises, B2B and B2C companies, fashion and electronics brands. Let's see what makes Shopify worth opting for or migrating to.
User-Friendly Platform
Small and medium-sized online retailers love the simplicity of getting a store up and running without special skills. Shopify thought of everything, from dozens of ready-made themes to convenient payment gateways.
Hosted Platform
Shopify takes care of hosting, software updates, security patches, and other technical tasks, lightening the burden on store teams.
Cloud Platform
Large eCommerce brands especially appreciate Shopify's cloud nature, allowing them to scale up server and storage capacity quite quickly.
Customizable Platform
Shopify allows basic theme alterations (drag-and-drop features, color scheme/font changes), offers ready-made apps from an extensive Shopify catalog, and provides advanced code customization possibilities.
Shopify vs. Shopify Plus
Shopify has several plans: Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Plus. If you're considering which to pick for setting up, switching to, or migrating a store, the following comparison will help.
- For Whom
Shopify's Basic, Shopify, and Advanced tiers will suit businesses of small and medium size. These plans provide enough server resources, features, and flexibility while remaining cost-effective. Also, the platform's user-friendly interface allows merchants to manage a store even without Shopify development experts.
Shopify Plus, in turn, is designed for bigger eCommerce brands. It opens access to advanced features, broader customization possibilities, and higher scalability, which is crucial for high-load stores. Obviously, the price tag for these advantages is considerably higher. Having an in-house dev team or collaborating with a Shopify development company is a widespread practice for Shopify Plus clients.
- Customization
Three standard Shopify plans offer various opportunities to customize an online store. Firstly, to fine-tune themes: change templates' visual design, rearrange blocks, etc. Secondly, to add new features via the official app store. Thirdly, to improve the site with custom coding. However, there are limitations in what Shopify developers can change (for instance, there's no access to the checkout logic).
Shopify Plus has much less restrictions customization-wise. In fact, this plan entails that companies might want to gear their stores more to the brand identity, specific customer behavior, and unique services. That's why Plus subscribers have more flexibility in building and implementing custom logic, including an option to edit the checkout process.
- Scalability
Standard Shopify subscriptions give sufficient hardware and software resources to cater to both the everyday and special needs of SMBs in terms of traffic and daily sales. In some cases, when unexpected traffic spikes occur, store performance may suffer.
Shopify Plus is built for stores with large traffic volumes. Besides, its high scalability allows merchants to be sure an event like a seasonal sale or a much-anticipated product launch won't negatively affect loading speed, the UX, and sales.
- Functionality
The main Shopify plans are focused on vital eCommerce features that are likely to cover all the needs of small and medium stores. Building a more feature-rich Shopify store is also possible with extra apps and custom development. But when it comes to drastic moves like building a headless commerce solution, it's not officially supported by Shopify. It's still possible with the help of Shopify development companies, but transforming a traditional monolithic Shopify store into a PWA is quite challenging and resource-intensive.
Shopify Plus includes more functionality necessary for big players in the market, like wholesale management tools and advanced analytics. Also, creating a PWA with Shopify Plus is far more streamlined, so going headless is a popular choice among Shopify Plus development agency services.

Shopify Development Services: FAQ
What are the main benefits of using Shopify websites?
There are many advantages, starting from easy Shopify store setup, meaning you get a fully functional online store in hours or days, even without the assistance of Shopify experts. On the other hand, the platform allows cooperation with a Shopify development company and the creation of custom Shopify stores. There are plenty of Shopify website development services available for online merchants, and we advise you to turn to specialized Shopify agencies like Onilab.
Why do I need custom Shopify store development services?
There can be many reasons for involving seasoned Shopify developers in your project. Custom Shopify website development services are obviously needed for Shopify customization: changing features, adding new ones, rethinking the UX/UI, gearing Shopify apps to your store objectives, and so forth.
Custom Shopify development company is of great assistance in other cases, too: for new Shopify app development, third-party systems integration, maintenance services, and more. All in all, partnering with the right Shopify web development company helps to boost your store's performance, UX, and, therefore, revenue.
Custom Shopify website design vs. default Shopify themes: what to choose?
As a Shopify development company with extensive experience, we, in most cases, advocate for customized themes rather than a ready-made Shopify store design. While there are more than a hundred out-of-the-box Shopify themes, they have two issues.
First, Shopify design is too recognizable and is used for dozens of thousands of storefronts. Second, it's too generic, not catering enough to your store's concept and customers' behavior. If you're searching for custom shopify theme development services, our Shopify development services are at your disposal.
How long does it take for a Shopify web development agency to finish the project?
Shopify eCommerce development comprises numerous services, and the timeframe depends on the work scope itself. If you work with a Shopify agency on launching a pretty standard storefront, it's more likely to take days. If you choose more complex Shopify website development services like speed or SEO optimization, migration, and various integrations, it's rather weeks.
And if we're talking custom Shopify development services like a new design, new Shopify apps, or building an advanced headless product like a PWA, a Shopify development company will deliver results in up to several months.
What is the estimated cost of Shopify store development service?
No Shopify development company can give you the sum right away since there are multiple factors affecting the final budget. It depends on the Shopify development service of choice, be it a new Shopify theme development or minor design customizations, some new business logic or a full-blown architecture switch, Shopify app development or integration, ongoing support or ongoing maintenance, etc.
The tech stack also plays its role: which Shopify plan you're on, which platform you're migrating from, which external systems and databases you want to integrate, etc. One more component is the price of apps/themes/extensions: some may be free, but most of the good ones are paid or subscription-based.
Finally, the development services cost itself. It depends on who's on the team (middle/senior devs, designers, a dedicated project manager, data analyst, testers) and where a Shopify web development company is located geographically. Given all this, Shopify website development services cost range between $500 and $50,000 or even more for top Shopify development companies.
Can your Shopify development company migrate a store without disrupting the business?
Migration is one of the most popular Shopify development services at Onilab. With more than a decade of work with different eCommerce platforms, we know their peculiarities and pitfalls. So yes, our Shopify developers can conduct migration to Shopify from other CMSs as smoothly as possible.
Our Shopify website development company ensures minimal downtime, no SEO rankings and organic traffic losses, and no missing store or customer data. Once the site is on Shopify, we can proceed with Shopify eCommerce development to make your store even more user-friendly and powerful.
