What is Shopify Plus? And is it worth it?
The Shopify Plus program is an advanced option for in-demand brands and fast-growing businesses. It is advisable to start thinking about this option if your annual turnover is close to 23 million CZK (1 million USD). During our tenure, we cooperated with Czech e-shops in this program and also helped several of them switch to this program.
Shopify Plus provides a lot of benefits for a growing e-shop. It can make your work easier and help automate processes. In this way, you will be able to focus on the relationship with your clients instead of solving problems, and your business can grow faster and more smoothly.
In the Shopify Plus program, you get

Price list
Unlike regular Shopify accounts, Shopify Plus comes with a 12-month contract. The price ranges from $2,000 to $40,000 per month. It is determined by agreement and depends on the total annual turnover. It's a significant amount, but if Shopify Plus suits your business, it's worth it.
If the minimum price of 2000 USD per month is unbearable for you, maybe this solution is not for you yet. But it's always good to know about him. Very often, one or two Shopify Plus features will make the biggest difference in sales, conversion rate and bottom line.
