Any growth in life comes with its fair share of pain. The same analogy applies to an online shopping store because new levels of growth give Your Business another threshold to make sales. Shopify Plus is one of those thresholds to move your online business and save on time you spend fixing your system’s glitches. But this is not all. There are more reasons to upgrade to this platform.
So, let’s analyze them:
1. Shopify Has No Limit on Sales, Products, and Bandwidth
Shopify Plus allows you to list as many products as you wish without the risks of crushing your site due to overloading. For instance, Shopify Plus’s unlimited bandwidth enables you to manage any abrupt surges in traffic. Therefore, you can do up to 500,000 hits a minute. Moreover, you have access to storage of 200 terabytes and 7000+ CPU cores. This means that you can sell as much as possible, and your online store will operate normally.
2. Shopify Plus is Highly Scalable Using SaaS
SaaS implies that you do not need any software or hardware to run the platform. All you need to know is that SaaS refers to Software as a Service technology. But what does it mean in the context of Shopify Plus? Well, you do not need hardware and on-premise software. Everything is done on the web, and hosting is done on the Shopify platform. Therefore, you access Shopify Plus by logging into your profile as you do with your email. All you need is the latest browser version and functional internet.
Other benefits of SaaS include not having to maintain the software because Shopify handles everything for Your Business. Its top advantage is the ability to scale and add necessary apps and integrations as the business blossoms to allow your store to perform as you prefer. Hence, no need to worry about any growing pains.
3. With Shopify Plus, You Get Access to First-Class Customer Support
As a Shopify user, you gain access to Shopify support 24/7 through mobile and email. If you use Shopify Plus, then you get VIP customer support. What does this mean? You have priority contact details which include email address and phone number. Therefore, you will have your issues handled promptly.
Besides, Shopify assigns you a personal support representative known as a Merchant Success Manager to help you. The representative guides Your Business through integrations and features on your behalf. Also, you have more customer support offerings at your disposal, such as the live chat, the Help Center, and Shopify eCommerce Forums.
4. Shopify Plus’ Dashboard is Easy to Use
The dashboard you use for ShopifyPlus is almost similar but unique to what you see in other eCommerce plans. It is also more intuitive, and you can figure out every operation by yourself without any documentation or tutorial.
Note, most of this simplicity comes from the basic structure of Shopify’s dashboard. Of course, Shopify has everything meant to be in an online shopping store. But, this changes as your business grows. How? The Shopify dashboard could come out as limited. So what happens next? You add a few apps to your platform, which should cost you a few pennies.
5. Shopify Plus Has Exciting Themes
On the Shopify Plus store, you have access to 100+ highly responsive themes. Twenty-six of these templates are free. Anything else will cost you a fee ranging between $140 and $180. In a recent study, about 30% of sales come from sales over the mobile phone. Therefore, it is a requirement that your store fits into any screen; luckily, Shopify has you covered.
Foremost, the themes are editable using Liquid, Shopify’s coding language, or by changing HTML and CSS. Moreover, you have access to a WYSIWYG—“what you see is what you get” editor you could use for content updates. Shopify’s admin has a theme editor to change font and color, among other features without knowledge in HTML and CSS.
6. Shopify Plus Has Exciting Customizability
The Shopify Plus platform has a REST API that integrates your store with various software and develops your applications. One example is that you have access to API for ERP, accounting, and CRM software integration.
But do you have to create all these connections? No, simply head to Shopify’s App Store. 1000+ add-ons are already connected. Therefore, the integration you need is pre-built. For more, you get discounted rates for some applications.
7. With Shopify Plus, You Can Sell Over Multiple Channels.
How’s this possible? Well, Shopify Plus comes with multi-channel selling features. Therefore, you can sell items over various marketplaces such as social media. Furthermore, you will be able to handle orders through your admin panel on Shopify.
For example, Shopify Plus promotes its multiple channel sales integrations using Amazon, Pinterest, Facebook, and eBay. Note, there is no limit to where you can sell— you could sell your items on other integrated channels. Besides, your developer can help you build connections to more recent options. In case you have no developers, you could get help from Shopify experts at Seibert Consulting Group.
8. Shopify Plus Has Multiple Payment Options
Shopify Plus has 70+ payment gateways such as Sage, CyberSource, Amazon Payments, Authorize.net, and Dwolla. The options are limitless; hence any payment solution your customer could use is available.
Also, you may choose to go with Shopify Payments. If you do so, then you will love its reduced credit card fees. For example, you will discover that their bigger plans pay lesser fees.
9. Security is Impressive in Shopify
All Shopify Plus payment gateways are PCI DSS compliant. What does this mean? All sellers on Shopify gain from Shopify’s Level 1 “Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard” adherence and Shopify’s on-site security assessments. Furthermore, Shopify Plus stores have a free SSL certificate on each site page to the checkout. Note, the encryption is not just meant for security purposes but also SEO reasons.
10. Shopify Has Flawless Transition
Shopify Plus ensures that you can reduce the launching headaches people face with online stores from months to weeks. Most customers are excited to share their transition experience with the platform. For example, an individual from Blackmilk Clothing shares that their shift to Shopify Plus was a breakthrough. The first launch was smooth, without any glitches. The customers checked out of the clothing store smoothly and calmly—it was one of those happy days for their business.
