With so many eCommerce platforms out there, why Shopify Plus?

We don’t settle for second best.

Every year, we assess which platforms are offering cutting-edge eCommerce tech that will serve our clients best. For almost a decade, Shopify has been the front runner.

Prior to 2016 we managed over $100m in annual revenue working within Magento and Magento Enterprise - and all the stress that came with it (security patches, compliance, global infrastructure requirements, you name it).

When we first came across Shopify back in 2014, we felt the platform didn’t initially have the flexibility our customers needed. However, that was short-lived, because the next time we assessed Shopify, the platform had come a long way. Since 2016, Shopify has been streaks ahead of any other enterprise-grade eCommerce platform.

In 2016 we became New Zealand’s first Shopify Plus Partner, and one of the first three in Australasia.

So began our process of migrating clients, deep-diving into the Shopify platform and delivering world-class projects off the back of the change.

If there’s one thing we know, it’s how to get the most out of Shopify Plus.

We’ve got the inside scoop.

Being New Zealand’s first Shopify Plus Partner is something we’re very proud of, but it’s not just the bragging rights we’re after.

At the time we were the only player in New Zealand representing the platform, which gave us a competitive edge and a direct line to the Shopify team, something that has continued to this day.

This means our clients get to leverage our long-standing relationship with Shopify. We can offer Shopify developer resources, specialist help when our clients have specific requests and regular meetings with Shopify HOD’s so we have the heads-up when fresh tech is on its way.

Our clients enjoy the benefits of Shopify Plus as much as we do.

100% focussed, so you get 100% results.

Why work with an agency partner that builds e-commerce websites on all kinds of different platforms, when you only need Shopify Plus?

Other agencies have to split their time, team and resources between Shopify, Magento/Adobe Commerce, Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce, and every other platform.

Whereas Pocket Square only works with Shopify Plus - and we do it bloody well.
