The top web development agencies for Shopify Plus & Enterprise

There’s no doubt about it, Shopify Plus isn’t “plug and play” at the enterprise level.

As the platform evolves with headless builds, custom checkout extensions, global storefronts, and deeply integrated ecosystems, brands increasingly rely on specialist agencies to unlock its full potential.

The best Shopify agencies today architect growth systems: blending UX, engineering, conversion strategy, and brand storytelling into cohesive commerce experiences.

Below is a curated list of standout agencies trusted by our clients, Shopify Plus, and other enterprise brands, spanning North America, Europe, and beyond.

1r agency

1r builds high-performing Shopify experiences that feel as good as they convert. With 15 years in operation and over 100 site launches, they bring a level of maturity that shows up in how they approach projects. There’s a clear emphasis on structure and intentionality, with more focus on getting the fundamentals right from the start.

What really separates 1r is how they balance design with data. Their work leans heavily into creating visually compelling, brand-right experiences, but those decisions are grounded in real user behavior and performance insights.

Greenbox Digital

Greenbox Digital sits at the intersection of design-forward ecommerce and performance-driven engineering. Known for clean builds and thoughtful UX systems, they tend to work best with brands that care deeply about both aesthetics and conversion.

Their strength lies in balancing creativity with structure, bringing together brand storytelling and scalable Shopify architecture. For growing brands transitioning into Shopify Plus, Greenbox often plays the role of both builder and strategic partner.

They also offer more flexible engagement structures (like ongoing support retainers), which signals how they operate: as an embedded partner rather than a project-based vendor.

Some clients include Surreal, Peachies, Ollys, and Amber Jean.

Barrel

Barrel is one of the most established names in the Shopify ecosystem, with roots dating back to 2009 and official Shopify Plus partner status since 2017.

They specialize in commerce experiences for CPG and lifestyle brands, with a strong emphasis on storytelling, subscription models, and retention-focused design.

What sets Barrel apart is their ability to translate brand narratives into conversion systems, leveraging bundling, content, and lifecycle thinking to drive long-term customer value.

They’ve worked with companies like L’Oréal, McCormick, KIND Snacks, and Once Upon a Farm, which gives them a very specific lens on ecommerce: one shaped by brands that operate across DTC, retail, Amazon, and wholesale simultaneously.

Fuel Made

Fuel Made’s entire model is built around improving three core metrics: conversion rate, average order value (AOV), and lifetime value (LTV). Where many agencies stop at launch, Fuel Made is explicitly designed to keep working after the site goes live.

Their core offering combines three tightly connected areas:

• Shopify design and development (strategy, UX/UI, and custom builds)
• Klaviyo email and SMS marketing (automation, segmentation, personalization)
• Conversion rate optimization (CRO) through continuous A/B testing

This matters because they don’t treat the website as a standalone asset. Instead, they treat it as part of a larger revenue system, where onsite experience and lifecycle marketing are constantly feeding into each other.

On the client side, Fuel Made has worked with brands like BK Beauty, FIGS, Jonas Paul, Supply, and WANDRD—a mix of strong DTC operators across beauty, apparel, and accessories. 

Otherhalf Studio

Otherhalf Studio is a design-first Shopify agency built by operators, not just designers, and that shows up clearly in how they approach ecommerce.

Founded by a husband-and-wife team who previously built and scaled their own DTC brand, the agency is rooted in a simple but often overlooked belief: most brands overinvest in traffic and underinvest in the website experience those users land on.

Their approach blends:

• Design-led thinking (clean, brand-driven visuals)
• Conversion strategy (treating pages like landing pages)
• Trust-building systems (UGC, reviews, product storytelling)

Structurally, Otherhalf operates as a boutique studio, working primarily with 7- and 8-figure Shopify brands. Some clients include Bish Bar, Yellow Beauty, iRESTORE, and Kiyoko.

The Vaan Group

Vaan operates at the intersection of high-end brand design and enterprise-grade Shopify engineering. 

At the core of their approach is something they call “Brand Conversion Design,” which is a framework that treats brand identity, UX, and performance not as separate disciplines, but as a single system.

Vaan works with scaled, high-visibility brands that need both polish and performance at a very high level. Their client portfolio reflects that tier:

• Rhode (Hailey Bieber’s brand)
• Hourglass Cosmetics
• Makeup by Mario
• HexClad
• Stadium Goods

This is where Vaan really separates itself from more “creative-first” agencies. The design is premium, but it’s always in service of commercial performance at scale.

Fifty 50

Fifty50 positions itself as a creative design and digital production consultancy, sitting closer to the brand and content side of ecommerce than a purely technical Shopify agency.

Their work is built around a simple idea: strong ecommerce performance starts with authentic brand experiences. That means their focus extends beyond UX and development into how a brand is expressed visually, emotionally, and consistently across digital touchpoints.

They combine strategic thinking with creative execution, delivering projects that span from concept through to production.

Their client work reflects this blend of commerce and brand-building, with projects for companies like:

• David Gandy Wellwear 
• Haliborange 
• Fielden Whisky 
• Clean Food Group

Juicy Orange

Juicy Orange sits firmly on the creative studio side, with a portfolio that extends well beyond ecommerce into branding, content, and cultural projects.

They’ve worked with an unusually wide range of clients—from Yoplait and Rockefeller Family Fund and emerging consumer brands—which gives them a different lens than most Shopify-focused agencies.

Their core offering spans:

• Website design and development
• Brand identity and logo design
• Creative direction and digital storytelling

What makes them stand out is their range and aesthetic flexibility. Rather than specializing in one vertical (like CPG or fashion), they operate more like a creative partner that can adapt to very different brand worlds.

Pocket Square

Shopify partners since 2014, Pocket Square operates as a practical, execution-focused Shopify agency, emphasizing reliability and clarity.

Their work centers on:

• Shopify design and development
• UX improvements
• Performance-focused builds

They focus on delivering clean, usable, and scalable storefronts that do their job well. This makes them especially valuable for brands that:

• Need a solid rebuild without unnecessary complexity
• Want a dependable partner
• Care more about execution than experimentation

Some clients include Life Pharmacy, Stirling Sports, Dermalogica, and SLH Furniture.

Alleyoop

Alleyoop is a Shopify Plus agency built specifically for fashion, luxury, and lifestyle brands, and everything about their model reflects that specialization.

What makes them stand out is their focus on end-to-end brand growth, not just site builds. They position themselves as a partner that helps brands launch, refine, and scale their digital presence over time. 

Their work is also highly tailored. Each engagement is bespoke, with strategy tied closely to business goals, customer lifetime value, and long-term growth.

Some clients include Cherry, Goodies, House of Leon, and Covry.

Final thoughts

There isn’t a single “best” agency. Only the one that aligns with your current stage, internal capabilities, and growth priorities.

So don’t choose based on portfolio alone.

Choose based on how they think, what they prioritize, and whether that matches where your business is going.
