Shopify Plus agency
Shopify Plus and Shopify Advanced builds
Think Commerce builds new stores and replatforms existing ones on Shopify Plus and Shopify Advanced. We work with founders and ecommerce leads at growing brands in the UK and the Nordics, and we also have clients in the USA. Most builds go live in 6–12 weeks, depending on scope and integrations. After launch, we keep improving the store. We have processed £150M+ in B2B commerce and driven £100M+ in D2C revenue. We are an official Shopify Plus Partner.
What we build
Storefronts and themes
We design from your brand and build for conversion on mobile and desktop. The work ranges from customising and configuring an existing Shopify theme to building a bespoke Shopify Plus theme from scratch.
Checkout, discounts and automation
We build custom checkout, discount and delivery logic with Shopify Functions and Checkout Extensibility, and automate routine operations with Shopify Flow.
Integrations and apps
We build Shopify apps and connect your store to your third-party systems through the Shopify GraphQL APIs. For Shopify app development we work with our partner Gadget and build on its platform. We also plan your Klaviyo strategy and build new flows on your Shopify data.
Selling in more than one market
With Shopify Markets we set up the currencies, languages and payment methods each market needs, so you can sell abroad from one store.
From zero to launch in weeks
We want you to earn back your investment quickly. So we agree a plan that gets the store trading first, then develop it further once it is live.
We set the store up so your team can run the day-to-day work without us: products, content and campaigns. That leaves more of your budget for marketing and new features, and less for maintenance. It is a very different world from Mystore, Magento and other platforms. Many of our clients find Shopify so easy to run that several months pass between the times they need our help, and often it is just for advice.
Not every brand needs Shopify Plus. If Shopify Advanced covers what you need, we will tell you.
Why Shopify Plus over Magento or WooCommerce
For the longer version, read why Shopify Plus suits high-growth brands.
It scales without server work
Magento and WooCommerce often need server management and tuning to handle more traffic. That raises maintenance costs and the risk of downtime at peak times. Shopify runs the hosting, so you never manage servers.
Running costs stay predictable
Shopify Plus costs more each month than the standard Shopify plans. But you no longer pay separately for hosting, security or server maintenance. On Magento those costs tend to rise as the business grows.
Security is handled for you
Shopify hosts and secures the platform for you. It is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant, and that compliance extends to every Shopify store by default. On WooCommerce and Magento, someone on your side has to apply patches and keep the site up during busy periods.
Customisation without a heavy build
Magento can be customised a great deal, but it takes a lot of development work. Shopify Plus gives your team an admin they can use without a developer, while Functions, Checkout Extensibility and the APIs cover the custom logic.
Example: Majema, Magento 2 to Shopify Plus
We had maintained Majema’s Magento 2 store since 2018. They wanted a platform that was easier to maintain and faster to build on. They chose Shopify Plus and asked us to run the migration. We proved their checkout requirements first, then built a custom theme with their designer. Majema now has a lower total cost of ownership and more flexibility, and its in-house team can work more efficiently on the store. Read the Majema case study.
“Because they built the site very cleverly, we ended up having an excellent page, something we’d never seen before. That was very positive.”
Marcus Billström, MD, Majema
We also moved Christiania Glasmagasin, a Norwegian heritage brand, to Shopify Plus. Since the move, its conversion rate has risen 120%. Read the Christiania Glasmagasin case study.
