Platform implementation

Shopify Plus

We launch and extend Shopify Plus stores for brands that want to sell in several Gulf markets quickly, with Arabic storefronts, local payment options and automation, on a platform Shopify hosts and patches.

Speed to market is what most Shopify Plus clients ask for: Shopify Markets for currencies, languages and domains per country, Hydrogen where a custom front end is worth the cost, and automation for the operations team. Arabic themes need right-to-left testing, mada and Apple Pay usually come through a payment provider app, and cash on delivery is available as a manual payment method for shoppers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE who still prefer it.

Customisation lives in apps and extensions rather than in the platform: Shopify Functions for discount and shipping rules, Checkout Extensibility for the checkout, and Shopify Flow for back-office automation. Hydrogen storefronts run on Oxygen, Shopify's hosting, and connect through the Storefront API. Shopify releases a new API version every quarter, so integrations are built against a named version.

How we implement Shopify Plus

Implementation, customisation, deployment and ongoing support, with governance your steering committee can follow.

  • Blueprint and governance

    Before the theme is built, the e-commerce lead and operations settle the market structure (one store with Markets, or separate expansion stores), the app list and the order flow to ERP or a logistics provider.

  • Markets and expansion stores

    Country, currency and language set-up in Shopify Markets, or separate expansion stores where catalogues or prices differ by country.

  • Checkout and discount rules

    Shopify Functions and checkout extensions for delivery options, cash-on-delivery limits and offers such as Eid bundles.

  • Flow automations

    Shopify Flow workflows that tag risky orders, alert on low stock and route orders to the right warehouse.

  • Hypercare and managed support

    Shopify runs and patches the platform, so post-launch work is app reviews, theme updates, moving integrations to each quarterly API version before the old one is retired, and watching conversion and checkout errors through peak periods.

When Shopify Plus is enough

This is the option for direct-to-consumer brands that put launch speed and low running effort ahead of deep customisation, and whose catalogue and pricing fit Shopify's model.

  • A catalogue that fits Shopify's product and variant structure
  • Standard pricing without customer-specific contract prices
  • Readiness to work within apps and extensions rather than custom code
  • A logistics provider or ERP able to take orders through an existing connector or API
