The daily, constant cooperation between the Guidance team and the K-Swiss team was essential…resulting in the successful on-time launch of nine sites.

Technical Lead

We used custom short codes to pull information from out-of-the-box Shopify endpoints to display in multiple areas of the site which significantly reduced site management overhead. We also created custom Chrome extensions to give Hoonigan the opportunity to utilize attributes within the Shopify Backend. All of this is hosted in Shopify, so this reduces the risk of relying on 3rd party hosted apps.

Shopify Plus enabled the Hoonigan project by offering an extensive marketplace of apps, allowing for the enhancement of the base platform without a large development undertaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Shopify Plus be leveraged for your ecommerce business?

Shopify Plus provides ecommerce businesses with a great deal of value. Leveraging the Shopify platform will streamline the way in which you sell products in the online space. Additionally, if your company has any brick-and-mortar stores, you can sync your inventory and provide your customers with an integrated, omnichannel experience.
Shopify partners such as Guidance can help you take advantage of the platform's extensive multichannel capabilities. Ultimately, this can result in expanded brand awareness, increased customer engagement, and a boost in sales for your online business.

How does Shopify Plus work?

Shopify Plus is a multichannel enterprise platform where businesses can start, grow, and scale. Essentially, it's designed for rapidly growing merchants that need a customizable ecommerce solution to simplify and enhance business processes.
The impressive list of features and capabilities are powerful and highly effective yet also efficient and easy to use. If you need to migrate your existing online store to the platform, Shopify partners like Guidance can assist with re-platforming and website development.

How are orders fulfilled on Shopify?

Setting up order fulfillment for your Shopify Plus store is relatively straightforward, though working with a Shopify digital agency such as Guidance can help you streamline the process and get the most out of the features.
First, you'll choose your fulfillment method (or methods). Next, you'll specify whether you want to fulfill your product orders automatically or manually. When you add a new product to your online shop, you'll assign it with a fulfillment method. Then when it's purchased, it will be fulfilled via your specified manual or automatic method.

What's the difference between Shopify vs. Shopify Plus?

Shopify is designed for startups and small to medium retailers looking to create efficient online stores and checkout pages. Shopify Plus, on the other hand, is made for large, enterprise-level merchandisers. Some of the most well-known and successful brands use Shopify Plus, including Kylie Cosmetics, Red Bull, and Budweiser.
The platforms offer the same basic features, but the capabilities of Shopify Plus are much more extensive. Also, a Shopify Plus ecommerce website can handle substantially more traffic and transactions. We're talking upwards of 10,000 purchases per minute on a single site.
Additionally, Shopify doesn't provide the option to customize your checkout page. With Shopify Plus, you can create an optimized, user-friendly checkout experience, which can really benefit your bottom line as a store owner.
With Shopify Plus, you'll also have access to Shopify Flow, which helps you personalize your customers' first impression of your site, as well as Script Editor for fine-tuning your online store.

How to use Shopify Plus as an ecommerce platform

To get the most out of Shopify Plus, your best bet is to work with a Shopify partner agency. Shopify partners like Guidance will evaluate your business and current ecommerce website to provide you with a clear picture of how the platform can be leveraged to improve store setup and optimization.
With the help of our experienced Shopify developers, your brand can maximize the power of Shopify Plus, utilizing only the features that will provide you with the most value. Not only that, but as your ecommerce company grows and expands, the Guidance team will still be available to make necessary changes, implement updates, and resolve issues.

What kind of companies choose Shopify Plus as their ecommerce platform?

As we mentioned, Shopify Plus is designed for large corporations and established enterprises with high sales volumes looking to grow their online stores. If your ecommerce website sees substantial traffic and daily transactions in the thousands, the platform might be an ideal solution.
With Shopify Plus, you can launch sales channels in any location across the globe. Guidance works with growth-oriented mid-market and enterprise-level merchants, including both regional and national brands.

How does Shopify Plus's cost compare to other ecommerce platforms?

The cost of the standard Shopify plans are about the same as other ecommerce platforms, like BigCommerce and WooCommerce. Shopify Plus tends to run a bit higher than competitor platforms, though it's important to note its powerful capabilities for Shopify sellers.
Some of the world's biggest brands operate online stores using Shopify Plus. In many instances, the price of the platform is a worthwhile investment for companies looking to boost sales, accommodate high website traffic, and scale growth.
