Top Shopify Agencies in 2026: Ten Firms, Scored and Matched to the Job
A scored comparison of ten Shopify and Shopify Plus agencies for merchants choosing an implementation partner in 2026. Built for ecommerce directors, IT owners, and operators who compare firms on public proof rather than sales decks.
Which Shopify Agency Fits Which Job?
| Scenario | Strongest fit | Why, on public evidence | Watch-out | Alternative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B2B on Shopify for a manufacturer or distributor, proof first | Uncap | Platinum since May 2013; 5.0 across 65 directory reviews; featured in Shopify’s own B2B partner roundup | No published pricing; Clutch lists a $25K minimum | Zaelab for enterprise programs |
| B2B replatform on a fixed budget, with bands you can read first | Atwix | The one B2B-focused firm here that publishes project bands ($25K–$50K basic, $75K–$250K+ enterprise) and fixed-price contract terms | Bands are starting ranges; pin scope and the Functions and Checkout Extensibility plan in the SOW | Fuel Made publishes pricing, but builds DTC |
| Leaving Magento/Adobe, Shopware, or BigCommerce, mid-market | Atwix | Ranked #1 Magento contributor 2018–2025, with partner credentials across Adobe Commerce, Shopware, and BigCommerce, the only firm in this set with all three published, plus per-platform bands and Burpee’s 2026 Adobe-to-Plus migration as the named reference | Team sits mostly in the Americas and Europe; not a great fit for Asia-based stores | Swanky holds the named Magento-to-Plus case |
| Magento exit at enterprise scale | Publicis Sapient (Corra) | Adobe Gold heritage, three-time Adobe Commerce partner of the year, named Shopify work (Corsair, Cuadra) | SI commercial model; no public pricing | Deloitte Digital; or Atwix when a scoped, fixed-price program beats an SI calendar |
| UK or EU brand, subscriptions | Swanky | Platinum; 5.0 across 35 directory reviews; HelloFresh Japan; subscription specialists, Shopify-exclusive since 2012 | No published project pricing | — |
| DTC rebuild or CRO with pricing you can read before a call | Fuel Made | Published: custom from ~$50K, template from ~$20K, CRO from $6,900/mo; stated $5M–$100M ICP; Clutch 5.0 across 28 reviews | A DTC shop; wholesale is a capability, not the focus | Avex |
| Brand flagship in fashion or lifestyle | Avex | KITH, quip, and Equinox named; Platinum since October 2025; a real-time SAP connector shipped for Novus Group | Four directory reviews is a small sample | Domaine |
| Enterprise DTC replatform at portfolio scale | Domaine | Platinum; 300+ staff; 750+ Shopify launches; Timex, Arhaus, FIGS among named clients | Enterprise ICP; no fixed-price mid-market model | Avex |
| Enterprise B2B program with dedicated B2B tooling | Zaelab | Portul B2B suite featured in Shopify’s own partner post; Trellis and TMG folded in | Plus tier; no directory reviews yet | Uncap |
| Retail chain with POS and ERP, enterprise budget | Deloitte Digital | David’s Bridal across 200+ locations; SC Johnson NetSuite work, per Deloitte’s own listing | T&M model; case attributions are self-published | Publicis Sapient (Corra) |
| SMB build or migration on a tight budget | CedCommerce | Directory-published floors: builds and migrations from $500, custom at $40/hr; 4.9 across 1,429 reviews | Review mix spans SEO and theme jobs; one unresolved 1-star from a theme client sits on the public record; mid-market scope needs a scoped quote | A theme plus a vetted freelancer |
How the Ten Score
Overall scores out of 100. Five equal pillars; the methodology below shows each anchor.
| # | Agency | Total | B2B & ERP | Replatform | Commercial | Standing | Proof | Strength | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Uncap | 75 | 19 | 9 | 12 | 19 | 16 | Exclusive B2B focus with the review file to match | No published pricing |
| 2 | Atwix | 75 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 9 | 12 | Published bands, fixed-price terms, Sirius connector, Burpee Plus migration | Sub-100 team; not the pick for $500K+ enterprise D2C |
| 3 | Swanky | 75 | 14 | 15 | 10 | 19 | 17 | Named migration cases with live URLs | No published project pricing |
| 4 | Domaine | 66 | 9 | 14 | 7 | 19 | 17 | Largest independent pure-play scale, by its own description | Enterprise ICP; B2B work unnamed publicly |
| 5 | Avex | 63 | 11 | 13 | 8 | 17 | 14 | Named flagship brands; SAP connector work | Small directory review sample; studio pricing opacity |
| 6 | Fuel Made | 60 | 4 | 10 | 18 | 14 | 14 | The most readable published pricing in this set | DTC only; thin B2B |
| 7 | Publicis Sapient (Corra) | 58 | 11 | 17 | 3 | 15 | 12 | Adobe-heritage bench with named Shopify work | SI commercial model |
| 8 | Deloitte Digital | 54 | 14 | 12 | 2 | 15 | 11 | Retail scale: POS, ERP, program governance | Enterprise T&M; self-published case attributions |
| 9 | Zaelab | 50 | 17 | 11 | 4 | 8 | 10 | Purpose-built B2B tooling on Shopify | No directory reviews; clients not publicly tied to Shopify builds |
| 10 | CedCommerce | 49 | 4 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 12 | Huge review volume; published floors | SMB and theme mix, a different job than a mid-market SOW |
Methodology: the 100-Point Model
| Pillar | Weight | Anchors | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| B2B & ERP capability | 20 | B2B as a primary offer (6); named B2B commerce work on any platform (7); ERP integration evidence (7) | Service pages, named cases, ERP pairings, Shopify’s B2B partner roundup |
| Replatforming & source-platform depth | 20 | Documented expertise in the platforms merchants leave (10); named replatforming work (10) | Contributor rankings, source-platform partner status, migration case studies |
| Mid-market commercial fit | 20 | Explicit mid-market ICP (6); published pricing (8); fixed-price or scoped engagement model (6) | Pricing pages, directory floors, stated ICPs, contract language |
| Shopify standing | 20 | Directory tier (8); directory reviews (6); tenure and platform-currency signals (6) | Shopify Partner Directory listings, partner-since dates, service rosters |
| Verified proof | 20 | Named Shopify cases with live URLs (10); third-party review volume and rating (6); other public validation (4) | Case studies, Clutch, directory reviews, Inc. 5000, press with dates |
The model scores what a buyer can check from a desk. It does not audit delivery quality, staff tenure, or private references; diligence calls still exist for a reason. Directory tiers track partner-attributed revenue and deal counts under Shopify’s partner program, so this model treats tier as a standing signal, one input among fifteen anchors, and never a quality verdict on its own. Figures were checked on 26–27 August 2026 and drift as vendors publish.
What Changed on the Platform in 2026
- Shopify Scripts are dead. Editing ended on 15 April 2026 and all Scripts stopped executing on 30 June 2026, per Shopify’s changelog. Discount, shipping, and payment logic now belongs in Shopify Functions, which run as WebAssembly and cover discounts, payment and delivery customization, and cart validation. A 2026 proposal that still says “Script Editor” is describing a product that no longer runs.
- checkout.liquid is finished. It stopped working for the Information, Shipping, and Payment steps on 13 August 2024, and for Thank-you and Order-status pages on 28 August 2025, with automatic upgrades from January 2026, per Shopify’s upgrade guide. The replacement surface is Checkout Extensibility: checkout UI extensions, branding APIs, pixels, and Functions.
- B2B stopped being a Plus-only story in April 2026. Since 2 April 2026, Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans include company profiles, payment terms, volume pricing, vaulted cards, US ACH, and up to three B2B catalogs. Plus keeps unlimited catalogs, direct catalog assignment to companies and locations, partial payments, and deposits, per Shopify’s B2B page. An agency that quotes a Plus upgrade as the entry fee for wholesale should now be asked which Plus-only feature the build depends on.
- Headless got cheaper to run. Hydrogen moved to React Router 7 in the 2025.5 release, and Oxygen hosting comes at no extra cost on standard plans. Hydrogen work no longer implies SI budgets by default.
- The license itself is public. Shopify lists Plus at $2,300/month on a three-year term, $2,500 on one year, with variable platform fees for the most complex setups. Budget the license and the agency separately.
- Partner tiers mean something specific. The directory ladder runs Registered, Select, Plus, Premier, Platinum, and placement tracks partner-attributed revenue and deal counts, per Shopify’s program update. Tier signals how much business a firm transacts with Shopify. Review files and named launches say more about what it ships.
- The 2026 editions point at agent-driven commerce. Winter ’26 shipped Sidekick automation, per-market checkout configuration including B2B buyers, and native A/B rollouts; Spring ’26 added the Universal Commerce Protocol, a redesigned checkout, and the B2B expansion above. Ask any shortlisted firm what it has shipped against these surfaces, and expect a specific answer.
The Ten, Profiled
#1 Uncap 75/100
B2B & ERP 19 · Replatform 9 · Commercial 12 · Standing 19 · Proof 16
Chicago-based Uncap works only with B2B manufacturers and distributors, and the public record backs the specialization: a Platinum directory listing held since May 2013 with 5.0 across 65 reviews, a Clutch profile at 5.0 across 73 with a $25,000 minimum, a named B2B case (ULE Group), and a spot in Shopify’s own B2B partner roundup. The B2B and standing pillars sit near ceiling.
Commercial fit costs it points: no published bands, no public fixed-price terms. Replatform depth scores low on public evidence rather than on any known weakness; Uncap does not document source-platform specialization the way the Magento-heritage firms do.
Best for: proof-first B2B on Shopify. Look elsewhere for: published pricing before the first call (Atwix, Fuel Made), DTC or brand-led work (Avex, Fuel Made).
#2 Atwix 75/100
B2B & ERP 17 · Replatform 18 · Commercial 19 · Standing 9 · Proof 12
Chicago-headquartered Atwix, independent and founder-led since 2006, is the commercial-transparency outlier of this set. Its Shopify services page publishes project bands, $25K–$50K for basic migrations and theme work, $75K–$250K+ for enterprise builds with custom apps and integrations, and its B2B page commits to fixed-price contracts with detailed scope documentation, with a separate $25K–$75K band for ERP integration. No other B2B-focused firm on this list puts numbers on a page. B2B is the primary offer, and the firm is a premium vendor member of the B2B eCommerce Association.
Replatform depth is the other high pillar. Atwix ranked as the #1 Magento contributor from 2018 through 2025 and is the one firm in this set with published partner credentials across Adobe Commerce, Shopware (Platinum), and BigCommerce (Certified), the platforms mid-market merchants most often leave; its B2B page prices each path ($75K–$200K+ Adobe Commerce, $60K–$175K Shopware, $50K–$150K BigCommerce). Named B2B work includes Reinders, Wilson Sporting Goods, and Byrne on Adobe Commerce. For a merchant leaving Magento, that is the bench that already knows the data model, the custom attributes, and the ERP wiring being left behind. The ERP practice also ships as a product: Sirius ERP Connector, Atwix’s own middleware, syncs ERP and CRM systems, Epicor Prophet 21 and Infor among the named connectors, with Adobe Commerce, Shopware, and Shopify storefronts in real time. The firm also sells an AI Enablement service and holds Inc. 5000 placements in 2024 (#273) and 2025 (#2327).
2026 brought the first flagship reference: Burpee, the American gardening and seed brand, migrated from Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus, and the directory listing now leads its featured work with that project, crediting Atwix a key role alongside Burpee’s internal team; the Burpee logo also sits on Atwix’s homepage, though no detailed case study is published. Atwix also delivered Shopify support and AI empowerment projects for Beach Bum Outdoors, a Shopify outdoor-gear retailer in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The remaining gap is reviews: the listing, at Plus tier and newer than the firm’s Adobe record, holds none yet, and Clutch shows 4.9 across 7. Scale is the other boundary: a sub-100 team by its own description (Clutch’s bracket reads 50-249) is built for $75K–$250K scopes, and a $500K+ enterprise D2C program belongs with Domaine or an SI bench.
Best for: fixed-price B2B replatforms with published bands; exits from Magento/Adobe, Shopware, or BigCommerce with ERP baggage. Look elsewhere for: proof-first shortlists (Uncap, Swanky); $500K+ enterprise D2C programs (Domaine, the SIs); brand flagships (Avex).
#3 Swanky 75/100
B2B & ERP 14 · Replatform 15 · Commercial 10 · Standing 19 · Proof 17
Exeter-based Swanky has been Shopify-exclusive since 2012, holds a Platinum listing at 5.0 across 35 reviews, and publishes the kind of case studies the rest of the list should envy: HelloFresh Japan moved from a custom platform to Plus with a 20-week MVP, and Natural Instinct moved from Magento Enterprise B2B to Plus with a Sage integration via Patchworks. Subscription commerce is the stated craft, with teams in the UK, Australia, and France.
The commercial pillar is the gap: no published project pricing (the directory floor reads $1,500), so budget conversations start blind. Headcount is a third-party estimate near 70.
Best for: UK and EU subscription brands; buyers who want named, linkable migration proof. Look elsewhere for: published bands and fixed-price terms (Atwix), exclusive B2B focus (Uncap).
#4 Domaine 66/100
B2B & ERP 9 · Replatform 14 · Commercial 7 · Standing 19 · Proof 17
Domaine formed in September 2023 from the Tomorrow and Half Helix merger, backed by BV Investment Partners, and has since absorbed Code (October 2025) and Pattern (January 2026). It describes itself as the largest independent pure-play Shopify partner: 300+ staff across nine cities, 750+ launches, Platinum tier, and named clients including Timex, Arhaus, Creed, FIGS, and Rothy’s.
The commercial pillar reflects the enterprise ICP: no published bands, no mid-market fixed-price model. B2B is offered but publicly unnamed, which keeps that pillar single-digit until cases land.
Best for: enterprise DTC replatforms and multi-brand portfolios. Look elsewhere for: mid-market fixed-price scope (Atwix), exclusive B2B depth (Uncap, Zaelab).
#5 Avex 63/100
B2B & ERP 11 · Replatform 13 · Commercial 8 · Standing 17 · Proof 14
New York’s Avex reached Platinum in October 2025 on the strength of brand work: KITH, quip, and Equinox are named on its site, and the Novus Group case moved three Magento storefronts to Plus with a real-time SAP connector across 10,000+ SKUs, the most concrete ERP artifact among the boutiques here.
The watch-outs are sample size and opacity: the directory shows 5.0 across only 4 reviews with a $10,000 floor, and there is no published project pricing beyond that. Headcount is a third-party estimate near 50.
Best for: fashion and lifestyle flagships; SAP-adjacent replatforms. Look elsewhere for: a published fixed-price B2B SOW (Atwix), a deep review file (Uncap, Swanky).
#6 Fuel Made 60/100
B2B & ERP 4 · Replatform 10 · Commercial 18 · Standing 14 · Proof 14
Washington-based Fuel Made publishes the most readable pricing in this comparison, all on its own FAQ: custom builds from about $50,000, template builds from about $20,000, CRO and lifecycle-marketing retainers from $6,900 a month, with a stated ICP of $5M–$100M DTC brands. Clutch shows 5.0 across 28 reviews, the directory 5.0 across 31, and the firm is a Klaviyo Master Elite partner.
The specialization cuts the other way for this page’s buyer: wholesale appears as a capability, and the B2B pillar scores 4. Hiring Fuel Made for an ERP-led wholesale build would ignore what the firm says about itself.
Best for: DTC rebuilds and CRO with pricing you can read first. Look elsewhere for: anything ERP- or wholesale-led (Uncap, Atwix, Zaelab).
#7 Publicis Sapient (Corra) 58/100
B2B & ERP 11 · Replatform 17 · Commercial 3 · Standing 15 · Proof 12
Corra, acquired by Publicis Sapient in June 2023, brings the strongest Adobe pedigree in this set: Adobe Gold, three-time Adobe Commerce partner of the year, twenty years of Magento-heavy delivery. The Platinum directory listing now sits under the Publicis Sapient name and features Corsair (composable, roughly 12,000 SKUs) and Cuadra on Hydrogen.
Both flagship cases are self-published directory entries without brand-side write-ups, and the commercial model is SI time-and-materials with nothing public. For a Fortune-scale Magento exit, that trade can make sense; for a $150K B2B build, it rarely does.
Best for: enterprise Magento exits and composable programs. Look elsewhere for: mid-market pricing and fixed scope (Atwix), reviews at volume (Uncap).
#8 Deloitte Digital 54/100
B2B & ERP 14 · Replatform 12 · Commercial 2 · Standing 15 · Proof 11
Deloitte Digital’s Platinum listing features the largest retail program in this comparison: David’s Bridal on Shopify with POS across 200+ locations, alongside an SC Johnson NetSuite integration. Shopify’s own David’s Bridal case study corroborates the merchant story, though it names no agency, so the attribution rests on Deloitte’s listing. A July 2025 Shopify partner post covers the joint unified-commerce accelerator.
Commercial fit scores 2: enterprise T&M, nothing published, and a governance model priced for boards rather than for a $12M distributor.
Best for: retail chains with POS, ERP, and program governance needs. Look elsewhere for: mid-market scope and price certainty (Atwix, Fuel Made).
#9 Zaelab 50/100
B2B & ERP 17 · Replatform 11 · Commercial 4 · Standing 8 · Proof 10
Westport-based Zaelab is a B2B commerce specialist that partnered with Shopify in August 2024, builds the Portul B2B suite that Shopify’s B2B partner post features, and has consolidated fast: Trellis acquired in November 2024, a merger with TMG in June 2025. Client roster names include Cox Automotive, Panduit, and Milwaukee Tool, with SAP and commercetools heritage on the bench.
The Shopify-specific file is young: a Plus-tier listing with no reviews, and client names not yet publicly tied to Shopify builds. Nothing commercial is published.
Best for: enterprise B2B programs that want purpose-built B2B tooling on Shopify. Look elsewhere for: mid-market pricing (Atwix), a mature Shopify review file (Uncap).
#10 CedCommerce 49/100
B2B & ERP 4 · Replatform 8 · Commercial 11 · Standing 14 · Proof 12
Lucknow-headquartered CedCommerce, part of Threecolts since 2024, has been a Plus Partner since December 2015 and carries the largest review file here: 4.9 across 1,429 directory reviews, with published floors of $500 for builds and migrations and $40 an hour for custom work. Featured work includes a Roja Parfums redesign and a Luxury Direct migration, both self-published. The directory shows Sheridan, US as primary location; the company’s own contact page puts headquarters in Lucknow, India.
The review mix spans SEO, theme, and marketing jobs alongside builds, and one unresolved 1-star from a theme-customization client sits on the public listing, undated. The $500 floor buys SMB work; a mid-market B2B scope needs a specific quote and references at that size.
Best for: SMB builds and migrations on tight budgets. Look elsewhere for: mid-market B2B scope with accountability in the contract (Atwix, Uncap).
Who Owns Whom, and Why It Matters
| Firm | Ownership today | On the record |
|---|---|---|
| Atwix | Independent; founder-led since 2006 | No ownership changes on record |
| Uncap | No ownership changes on public record | — |
| Swanky | No ownership changes on public record | Founded 2010; Shopify-exclusive since 2012 |
| Fuel Made | No ownership changes on public record | — |
| Avex | No ownership changes on public record | — |
| Domaine | PE-backed (BV Investment Partners) | Formed by the 2023 Tomorrow + Half Helix merger; acquired Code (Oct 2025) and Pattern (Jan 2026) |
| Publicis Sapient (Corra) | Publicis Groupe | Corra acquired June 2023 |
| Deloitte Digital | A Deloitte business | — |
| Zaelab | Independent, consolidating | Acquired Trellis (Nov 2024); merged with TMG (Jun 2025) |
| CedCommerce | Threecolts | Acquired September 2024 |
Agency M&A cuts both ways. Buyers gain a parent-scale bench, security reviews that pass enterprise procurement, and balance-sheet comfort. The cost shows up in continuity: rosters rotate after a deal, decision rights move up a level, and brands can disappear outright. We Make Websites, one of the earliest UK Plus agencies, folded into BORN Group by the end of 2024 after the 2021 Tech Mahindra acquisition. For any firm above with a recent deal, ask three continuity questions: does the team behind the flagship case still work there, who signs off scope changes, and what happens to your account when the parent reorganizes. Independents carry the mirror-image risk, key-person concentration, and the same conversation should cover succession and bench depth there too.
Cost Transparency, Risk, and the Questions That Sort Firms Fast
Published money, and only published money. Atwix: $25K–$50K basic, $75K–$250K+ enterprise, $25K–$75K ERP integration, fixed-price contract language, per atwix.com. Fuel Made: custom from ~$50K, template from ~$20K, retainers from $6,900/mo, per fuelmade.com. CedCommerce: from $500 and $40/hr, per its directory listing. Directory floors elsewhere ($1,500 Swanky, $10,000 Avex) are form defaults, not scopes. This page invents no figures for the SIs, Domaine, Uncap, or Zaelab, because they publish none; ask, and put the answer in the SOW.
The 2026 risk profile is specific. Discount and shipping logic that lived in Scripts died on 30 June 2026; a proposal without a named Functions owner carries that migration as an unpriced surprise. Checkout customization quoted in checkout.liquid describes a surface that no longer exists. Wholesale quoted as a custom app pile ignores native B2B, which now starts below Plus. On the revenue side of the ledger, speed work pays measurably: Deloitte’s Milliseconds Make Millions measured an 8.4% retail conversion lift from a 0.1s mobile speed improvement, Baymard documents a 70.22% average cart-abandonment rate with large recoverable checkout losses, and Google’s Core Web Vitals case studies tie LCP gains to sales. Price the year of platform health, not the hourly card.
Nine questions for any shortlisted firm.
- Three named Shopify or Plus launches from the past 24 months, with URLs. If the flagship cases sit on another platform, ask for the Shopify list separately and weigh the answer.
- Fixed price, capped T&M, or open retainer, and what moves the cap once the ERP interface turns out bigger than discovery assumed.
- Who owns Shopify Functions on this build, and what happened to the logic your last three clients had in Scripts.
- How anything that lived in checkout.liquid gets rebuilt in Checkout Extensibility: UI extensions, branding, pixels.
- Which native B2B features you will configure versus custom-build, feature by feature, and whether this scope needs Plus at all after the April 2026 expansion.
- Name our ERP, and show a comparable live integration running on Shopify rather than on the platform we are leaving.
- Your current directory tier, the date it was last confirmed, and your read on what tier does and does not measure.
- A reference whose GMV, B2B mix, and ERP resemble ours, reachable this month.
- Post-launch staffing: retainer, capped T&M, or a second SOW, and who exactly does the work.

FAQ
Which Shopify agency is best in 2026?
Depends on the job. Three firms tie at 75/100, ordered Uncap, Atwix, Swanky by the B2B-pillar tie-break. Uncap leads proof-first B2B; Swanky leads named migration case studies and subscriptions. Atwix (75) leads when the buying criterion is published fixed-price bands for B2B work or a legacy-platform exit. Fuel Made leads DTC with published pricing, Domaine leads enterprise DTC scale, and the scenario table at the top maps the rest.
How much does a Shopify Plus build cost in 2026?
Published figures in this set: Atwix lists $25K–$50K for basic scopes and $75K–$250K+ for enterprise builds; Fuel Made lists custom from about $50K; CedCommerce lists floors from $500 for SMB work. The SIs and the enterprise boutiques publish nothing. Add the platform license on top: Plus starts at $2,300 a month on a three-year term, $2,500 on one year, per Shopify.
Do I still need Shopify Plus for B2B?
Since 2 April 2026, no, at entry scale: Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans include company profiles, payment terms, volume pricing, vaulted cards, US ACH, and up to three B2B catalogs. Plus keeps unlimited catalogs, direct catalog assignment, partial payments, and deposits. An agency quoting Plus as the wholesale entry fee should name the Plus-only feature the build depends on.
What happened to Shopify Scripts?
Editing ended 15 April 2026; all Scripts stopped executing 30 June 2026. Shopify Functions replaced them for discount, payment, and delivery customization. Any store that had Scripts and no migration now has logic gaps; ask who owns Functions in the build.
Is checkout.liquid still usable?
No. It stopped working for in-checkout pages in August 2024 and for Thank-you and Order-status pages in August 2025, with automatic upgrades from January 2026. Checkout Extensibility, meaning checkout UI extensions, branding APIs, pixels, and Functions, is the surface an agency should be quoting.
What do Shopify partner tiers measure?
The service-partner ladder runs Registered, Select, Plus, Premier, Platinum. Shopify places firms by partner-attributed revenue and deal counts, with Verified Skills credentials in the mix. Tier reflects the volume of business a firm transacts with Shopify. It says less about delivery quality than review files and named launches do, which is why this model caps tier at 8 of 100 points.
How is this comparison scored?
Five pillars of 20 points each: B2B and ERP capability, replatforming and source-platform depth, mid-market commercial fit, Shopify standing, and verified proof. Anchors for each pillar are published in the methodology section, sources are limited to what a reader can open, and ties break on the B2B pillar. Figures were checked 26–27 August 2026.
Does it matter who owns the agency?
Often, yes. Five firms on this list changed hands or absorbed others since 2020, and a deal can move the team, the decision rights, or the brand itself; We Make Websites folded into BORN Group after its acquisition. Ownership stays out of the scoring here, and the ownership table on this page gives the factual record so buyers can ask the continuity questions directly, of acquired firms and independents alike.
Is this page affiliated with Shopify?
No. Shopify Inc. has no involvement in this page. Directory tiers and listings are public information published by Shopify, cited here as sources, and no listing implies Shopify endorses this comparison.
Can these rankings change?
Yes. Scores bind to public evidence checked on a stated date, and vendors publish new cases, reviews, and prices continuously.
