This article is for you if you:
- Already run on Shopify and are considering upgrading to Plus
- Turn over 3M+ DKK annually and are experiencing limitations
- Want to understand what you actually get for the extra money
- Are scaling internationally and need multiple storefronts
1. Checkout customization (Scripts)
On standard Shopify you can't change the checkout flow. With Plus you get access to Shopify Scripts — Ruby-based scripts that give you control over:
- Dynamic discounts based on cart, customer or time
- Custom payment and shipping logic
- Automatic bundles and upsells in checkout
- Loyalty integrations directly in checkout
Example: Automatic 20% discount when the cart exceeds 1,000 DKK — without discount codes.
2. Shopify Flow (advanced automation)
Flow is Shopify's no-code automation platform. On Plus you get access to advanced triggers and actions:
- Automatic customer tagging based on behavior
- Inventory alerts and auto-reorder workflows
- Fraud detection and order management
- Integration with external systems
Example: When a customer has bought 3+ times, tag them as "VIP" and add to Klaviyo VIP segment automatically.
3. Launchpad (campaign scheduling)
Launchpad lets you schedule and automate entire campaigns:
- Price changes that activate automatically
- Theme switches for campaigns (Black Friday, Christmas)
- Inventory locks during flash sales
- Automatic rollback after campaign
4. Multiple storefronts
With Plus you can run up to 10 storefronts under one account:
- International stores (DK, SE, NO, DE, UK)
- B2B and B2C as separate shops
- Different brands under the same umbrella
- Shared inventory and order management
5. B2B functionality (native)
Shopify Plus has native B2B features:
- Customer-specific price lists
- Net payment terms (invoice payment)
- Quantity rules and minimum purchases
- Separate B2B storefronts
If you sell both B2C and B2B, you avoid third-party solutions.
6. Higher API capacity
Plus gives you 10x higher API rate limits:
- Standard: 2 requests/second
- Plus: 20 requests/second
Crucial if you have complex integrations, real-time inventory sync or headless setups.
7. Dedicated support
With Plus you get a Merchant Success Manager — a dedicated contact at Shopify who knows your business and helps with:
- Strategic consulting
- Prioritized support
- Access to beta features
- Onboarding of new features
Upgrade when:
- You turn over 5–10M+ DKK annually (break-even on investment)
- You need checkout customization (scripts)
- You're scaling internationally and need multiple storefronts
- Your automation requires more than standard Flow
- API rate limits are limiting your integrations
- You have B2B needs beyond basic functionality
Stay on standard Shopify if:
- You turn over under 3–5M DKK annually
- Standard checkout covers your needs
- You only have one market (Denmark)
- Your automations are simple
- ROI on Plus doesn't make sense yet
What does Shopify Plus actually cost?
Subscription:
- From $2,300/mo. (starting price)
- Variable pricing at high revenue (typically 0.25% of GMV)
- Negotiable based on volume
Typical total cost for Danish brands:
- 5–10M DKK annually: ~$2,300–2,500/mo.
- 10–25M DKK annually: ~$2,500–4,000/mo.
- 25M+ DKK annually: Negotiated price
Good news: Migrating from standard Shopify to Plus is relatively straightforward.
- Same platform, same data, same theme
- No products or customers to migrate
- Primarily setup of new features (Scripts, Flow, Launchpad)
- Typically 2–4 weeks of implementation
Shopify handles the actual upgrade. The heavy lifting is implementing the new features correctly.

1. Can I try Shopify Plus before committing?
Not as such, but you can get a demo and talk to a Shopify Plus representative about your specific needs before deciding.
2. Is Shopify Plus worth it for Danish brands?
Yes — if you have the revenue and complexity to justify it. For brands turning over 5M+ DKK annually with international ambitions, ROI is typically positive.
3. Can I downgrade from Plus to standard Shopify?
Technically yes, but you lose access to Plus features like Scripts, Launchpad and advanced Flow. It is not recommended.
4. What is the biggest advantage of Plus?
For most brands: checkout customization via Scripts. The ability to customize the checkout flow with dynamic discounts, upsells and custom logic can significantly improve conversion rates.
5. How long does a Plus upgrade take?
The actual upgrade takes a few days. Implementation of new features (Scripts, Flow, Launchpad) typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on complexity.
