Hiring a Shopify Plus developer: What you need to know

Hiring guide
01
When should I hire a Shopify Plus developer?

Hire one when you are moving to Plus, or already pay for it without using it fully: checkout needs rebuilding as extensions, discount logic needs moving to Shopify Functions, or new markets or wholesale channels need their own setup.

02
What skills should I look for in a Shopify Plus developer?

Look for production work with checkout UI extensions, Shopify Functions, Markets and expansion stores, plus the GraphQL Admin API and ERP or 3PL integrations. Ask which Plus stores they maintain and how they release changes safely during peak season.

03
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify Plus developer?

Shopify Plus builds typically cost $25,000-$150,000+, and a focused custom app or Shopify Function often costs $5,000-$20,000. For ongoing work, a 30-hour monthly retainer on Storetasker starts at $3,000, and experts quote price, timeline and scope upfront.

Common Questions

Not always. Plus pays off when you need deeper checkout customization, custom apps built on Shopify Functions, or expansion stores for new regions or a separate wholesale store. A Plus developer can review your roadmap and say whether those features justify the higher monthly fee.

Upgrading is a plan change on your existing store, so products, customers, orders, theme and apps stay where they are and nothing needs migrating. The work comes after: choosing which Plus features to use, such as checkout extensions, custom Functions, expansion stores or the B2B features only Plus includes, and building them in order of value.

Shopify Functions. Shopify has retired Scripts, and Functions now run custom discount, shipping, payment and cart validation logic. A Plus developer maps each old script to a Function, an App Store app or a built-in setting, then tests the rules on real carts before launch.

On Plus, checkout UI extensions can add content, fields and offers to the information, shipping and payment steps, and Functions can change discounts, delivery and payment options. Edits made in the old checkout.liquid file are no longer supported, so they need rebuilding as extensions.

Shopify Markets lets one store sell in many countries with local currencies, languages and pricing. Expansion stores, which must carry the same brand, suit a region or wholesale business that needs its own pricing, apps or checkout rules. A Plus developer can compare the two for your setup and keep themes and data in sync across stores.

Yes. They can configure company accounts, catalogs with custom pricing, payment terms and quantity rules, so wholesale buyers order on Shopify alongside your DTC customers. Check early which B2B features your plan includes and how orders will reach your ERP.

Yes. Plus developers often join an in-house team on set weekly hours, taking on releases, code review and peak-season readiness, or support an agency on a larger build. Experts work directly with your team over email, Slack and Zoom.
