The platform helps them save a significant amount of time and focus on more critical tasks such as sales, marketing, and customer service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customer_support\"><\/span><b>Customer support<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify Plus provides top-notch customer support 24\/7 and a dedicated account manager, which can help businesses address any queries through email, chat, and a hotline. It is great as large enterprises may have complex needs and require personalized support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Built-in_tools\"><\/span><b>Built-in tools\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The built-in tools are another advantage of Shopify Plus which supports businesses in building and operating their eCommerce websites. Among them, product management, inventory tracking, payment processing, shipping, tax calculation, advanced analytics, and more are notable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Shopify Plus offers numerous customizable templates and apps, allowing businesses to create modern, professional, and feature-rich eCommerce websites without the technical skills required. Shopify Plus also enables businesses to easily scale as their needs change over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Shopify Plus gives businesses full access to Shopify&#8217;s exclusive programs such as the Merchant Success Program, Shopify Plus Academy, Shopify Plus Partner Program, and the Shopify Plus community on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scalability\"><\/span><b>Scalability<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike the standard Shopify plans, Shopify Plus has become a popular choice among large enterprises due to its high scalability. The platform can easily scale up or down depending on the business need which helps deal with increased website traffic and surges in orders during busy shopping periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customizability\"><\/span><b>Customizability<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another significant advantage of Shopify Plus lies in its high level of customization, allowing businesses to tailor their eCommerce websites to specific needs such as customizing templates, apps, payment integration, and more. As a result, the eCommerce website is built with uniqueness and creativity, highlighting the brand image and providing customers with an excellent shopping experience.

All customer data is encrypted using SSL to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. Additionally, Shopify Plus integrates a DDoS protection feature, safeguarding against dangerous attacks that can disrupt website traffic and accessibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Cons_of_Shopify_Plus\"><\/span><b>4.

First is the limited blogging functionality, which makes it difficult to create and manage blog categories on the website. Moreover, if the content is a core element of the marketing strategy, this limitation should be carefully considered as it can significantly impact SEO optimization. Another limitation is the lack of control over the URL structure of product pages, which poses challenges in optimizing URLs for search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, while Shopify Plus provides many features for businesses to build and manage eCommerce websites, if content management is a priority, it may be worth considering other platforms that offer more advanced content management capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Platform_dependency\"><\/span><b>Platform dependency<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If businesses build their websites based on an open-source platform, the platform migration is relatively simple and they can fully own the source code and all data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the contrary, Shopify Plus is a SaaS platform, and the entire website system of the business is hosted on Shopify&#8217;s servers, which means ownership and control of the source code and data belonging to Shopify Plus. This means that data related to eCommerce activities on the website is tightly locked-in to Shopify&#8217;s database. This leads to two issues:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Vendor risk:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose Shopify goes bankrupt or faces unforeseen risks. In that case, the entire business operations on this platform would be lost, and it would not be possible to retrieve all the latest data. However, this risk is unlikely to occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Data export:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event of discontinuing the use of Shopify and switching to another platform, the business can export data to a CSV file containing information such as product details, customer accounts, inventory, orders, etc. However, the data that Shopify allows to be accessed and exported is not comprehensive but only a portion of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_expertise_required\"><\/span><b>High expertise required<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Shopify Plus is considered user-friendly and suitable for users with strong technical skills, large enterprises need a certain level of expertise to effectively implement eCommerce with Shopify Plus. Because it is a highly customizable platform, businesses will need to have some understanding or collaborate with experienced developers to maximize the platform&#8217;s features and capabilities. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Pricing\"><\/span><b>5. Pricing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of using Shopify Plus will be based on revenue. Initially, each business will pay a <\/span><b>minimum of $2000\/month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for standard setup and integration. Once the revenue reaches $800,000\/month, Shopify Plus will charge the business <\/span><b>based on revenue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, at a rate of 0.25% of the monthly revenue. However, the fee will not exceed $40,000\/month or $480,000\/year<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages\"><\/span><b>Advantages\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first glance, this may seem like a large amount of money but for enterprise-level businesses, this pricing is reasonable because Shopify Plus provides a robust eCommerce platform that helps businesses operate more efficiently compared to standard Shopify plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reason 1:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned, the main advantage of Shopify Plus lies in its <\/span><b>scalability and customizability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but it is limited in standard Shopify plans. A growing business will need an eCommerce platform that can meet the demands of expansion and development. Shopify Plus is designed to handle high sales volumes and can support 10,000 transactions per minute. Additionally, businesses can customize their eCommerce website and leverage built-in features and tools to optimize their operations and sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Reason 2:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another advantage of Shopify Plus is that businesses do not have to pay for hosting, bug fixes, maintenance, or updates. The additional fees that businesses need to pay are transaction fees, specifically:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Credit card transaction fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that businesses have to pay to Shopify Plus will vary depending on the country but typically range from <\/span><b>1.5% to 2.5% per transaction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Shopify Plus will charge a small fee of approximately <\/span><b>0.15% for transactions with third-party payment gateways<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but this fee is waived if the business uses Shopify Payments as a payment method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to the three standard Shopify plans, the credit card transaction fees of Shopify Plus are still relatively low, with the following differences:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic ($29\/month): 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify ($79\/month):\u00a0 2.6% + 30 cents per transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced ($299\/month): 2.4% + 30 cents per transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify Plus (starting from $2000\/month): <\/span><b>2.15% + 30 cents per transaction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (fee applied for the US market)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 It can be seen that compared to the highest-tier standard Shopify plan &#8211; Advanced, the credit card transaction fees of Shopify Plus will save businesses 0.25%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now look at the transaction fees with third parties:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic: 2% per transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify: 1% per transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced: 0.5% per transaction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Shopify Plus: 0.15% per transaction<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 The difference in fees for transactions with third parties is evident, and Shopify Plus is a better choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Reason 3:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify has a vast app store with over 6000 apps developed by Shopify and third parties. In Particular, there are many apps developed specifically for Shopify Plus. Depending on each business&#8217;s needs, the cost of installing apps can range from $0 to a few hundred dollars or several thousand dollars per month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic setup of the Shopify Plus platform is sufficient for businesses to operate their websites. However, to deploy more effectively and provide a better customer experience, businesses may need to install additional Shopify apps, which incur costs. Naturally, with the investment in these apps, businesses will gain equivalent benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages\"><\/span><b>Disadvantages<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to its nature as a SaaS eCommerce platform, businesses will not own the source code and website data, which leads to cost disadvantages. Businesses that have reached the level of using Shopify Plus will have a demand for utilizing features, apps, and tools or integrating with third parties. In addition to the fixed monthly cost of using Shopify Plus, businesses also have to pay monthly additional fees based on their needs. This makes it difficult for enterprise-level businesses to manage their cash flow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, for most open-source platforms, although deployment costs are high and deployment time is long, businesses can make a one-time payment and own the source code, data, and long-term features. Therefore, using open-source platforms will help enterprise-level businesses manage their cash flow more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/secomm.vn\/shopify-plus-vs-adobe-commerce-key-differences-2023\/\">Shopify Plus vs Adobe Commerce: Key Differences 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With many years of experience implementing eCommerce solutions for numerous businesses in different countries, SECOMM understands the potential of Shopify Plus to empower eCommerce operations as well as the challenges and difficulties they may encounter during the initial stage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact SECOMM today or call our hotline (+842871089908) to receive a free consultation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shopify represents a trustworthy name in eCommerce development and is the choice of many SMEs.
