Shopify Plus is the undisputed champion of out-of-the-box eCommerce. It’s fast, intuitive, and powers some of the biggest brands on the planet. But for ambitious, rapidly scaling businesses, a moment arrives when the platform’s celebrated simplicity starts to limit what you can do.
This is the growth ceiling: the point where app bloat, integration failures, and customization limits begin to throttle the very success Shopify Plus helped you achieve. It’s the moment you realize you don’t just need a Shopify expert. You need an engineering powerhouse with experience that goes far beyond the web.
That’s where Magebit comes in. We are an official Shopify Plus Partner, but we are not a typical Shopify agency. We are a global team of over 150 e-commerce experts, forged on the world’s most complex eCommerce platforms - now bringing a new level of technical mastery to the Shopify ecosystem.

Shopify Plus Engineering Team
Being a Shopify Plus Partner is a mark of quality, but it’s our background and deep relationships that truly set us apart. With over 20+ Shopify certified developers in-house and a global team spanning the EU and US, we built our reputation solving the most difficult architectural challenges in eCommerce.
Our ties with Shopify are incredibly deep. We don't just use the platform. We help shape the ecosystem. We co-organize events and webinars with Shopify. We work closely on complex projects with Shopify's top solutions engineers and senior account executives, and maintain a direct line of communication with Shopify's leadership. Some time ago, we even spoke directly with Harley Finkelstein about one of our customer. This relationship gives us unparalleled insight into the platform's roadmap and capabilities.
A massive thank you to Magebit for being an exceptional partner and to all the leaders who invested their time with us. - Christopher John Schmidt, Shopify
Furthermore, we are at the forefront of AI innovation in eCommerce. With in-house AI architects and AI flow builders, we are official partners of MILA, allowing us to build truly intelligent commerce solutions.
Our services are designed for brands that refuse to be limited by their platform.
Custom Shopify Plus Development
When off-the-shelf solutions won't cut it, we build what your business needs from the ground up. Our expertise in Liquid, JavaScript, and modern frameworks allows us to deliver truly unique experiences that differentiate your brand and drive conversions.
- Bespoke Theme Development: We create visually stunning, high-performance themes that perfectly align with your brand identity and are optimized for conversion.
- Custom App Development: Instead of adding another third-party app that slows down your site, we build lightweight, custom applications to solve your specific operational challenges. Example app built by Magebit - Selfnamed Shopify App.
- Headless Commerce: For brands demanding ultimate creative control and lightning-fast performance, we architect and build headless storefronts using Shopify's headless stack, including Hydrogen and Oxygen, and other leading frameworks. Example headless store - Tara Formula.
Complex Systems Integration
Modern commerce runs on data. We specialize in building the robust, custom middleware and direct API integrations required to connect your Shopify Plus store with critical backend systems, ensuring seamless, real-time data flow. Our experience extends far beyond the web; we architect true omnichannel solutions, navigating the complexities of multi-market logistics, fulfillment, and packing to solve the real-world scaling issues that typical web agencies can't.
- ERP & PIM Integration: We have integrated thousands of systems, from enterprise-level ERPs like SAP, Oracle NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, to various Product Information Management platforms like PIMCore and Akeneo.
- Intelligent Automation: We are experts in leveraging Shopify Flow to build powerful, tailored automations that streamline your operations. When Flow's capabilities aren't enough, we go further, building custom extensions and applications to handle any unique workflow your business requires.
- Official Payment Gateway Development: We go beyond simple extensions. Our team has the rare expertise to create official payment methods (i.e. for TBI Bank), navigating the rigorous, separate approval paths required by Shopify and financial institutions to build secure, direct payment integrations.
- Pioneering Personalization: Our expertise with top-tier personalization platforms is deep-rooted. Years ago, long before it became mainstream, we built the official Magento extension for Dynamic Yield (now a Mastercard company), showcasing our history as pioneers in creating hyper-personalized customer experiences.
- CRM & Marketing Automation: We connect your customer data to platforms like Klaviyo and dotdigital, and help leveraging those platforms to the full extent.
- Custom AI Solutions: We build custom AI agents and fulfillment automations to reduce workloads and create hyper-personalized customer experiences.
Advanced B2B & International Expansion
We engineer sophisticated solutions for brands expanding into new markets and sales channels. Our B2B experience goes incredibly deep. We've built highly complex B2B solutions for industries like floristics that require a trading-like interface with real-time data exchange, integrated digital document signing, and multi-level company accounts with in-depth, granular permission schemas.
- B2B/Wholesale Portals: We build powerful B2B channels directly within Shopify Plus, featuring customer-specific pricing, tiered catalogs, net payment terms, and bulk ordering functionality.
- International Storefronts: We help you scale globally by setting up and managing multiple storefronts with localized currencies, languages, and compliance needs.

Magebit Solves Complexity
Our most powerful proof point is this: Magebit is ranked the #1 Adobe Commerce (Magento) agency in the world, according to Adobe's own data. This isn't an irrelevant fact; it's the ultimate qualification. For over a decade, our teams have been mastering one of the most notoriously complex and powerful eCommerce platforms on the planet. A platform that demands deep expertise in custom development, server architecture, and multifaceted integrations to succeed.
The problems that are considered "hard" on Shopify - complex B2B workflows, multi-store architecture, deep ERP/PIM integration - are the baseline challenges our teams have been solving for years for brands in highly complex industries like automotive (Automann, Daimler, Volkswagen), healthcare (Henry Schein, UK Meds), and global retail (Dunkin', Hydro Flask, Osprey). We’ve been training in a high-gravity environment, and we bring that strength and resilience to every Shopify Plus project. Our work and contributions to the eCommerce space have been recognized with numerous global awards, including the MMNY Innovator Award, The Webby Awards, and Baltic Ecommerce Awards.
How Magebit Compares With Others
The difference in approach has profound consequences for your business's performance, stability, and long-term cost of ownership (you can calculate your TCO with Shopify's TCO calculator). For the busy executive, the choice becomes clear when laid out side-by-side.
The Culture Behind the Code
This level of engineering excellence doesn't happen by accident. It's the direct result of a company culture built on a foundation of deep-seated values that drive our superior outcomes.
Obsessive Learning Culture
Our entry into the Shopify Plus ecosystem is a natural extension of our relentless commitment to mastering eCommerce technology. The same systematic approach to learning that made us the most certified Adobe Commerce agency in the world is now being applied to Shopify. This culture is fueled by hiring only the top 1% of engineering talent. When you combine an obsessive drive to learn with the industry's sharpest minds, you create an environment where miracles happen and the toughest challenges get solved.

Taking on the Toughest Challenges
We thrive on complexity. We are the "Top Gun" agency that global brands and governments (yes, this is actually happening) call when a project is too important or too complex to fail. This mindset means we're not just a vendor. We are a strategic partner for your most critical, high-stakes initiatives.
Transparency and Partnership
Despite our deep technical expertise, we are human, caring, and transparent to the bone. We believe in long-term collaboration and work with our clients as true partners. This ensures that even the most complex engineering projects are managed with clear communication and a shared commitment to success. And honesty and transparency are often mentioned when we ask our clients what keeps them with us after 6 or 7 years. Typical agencies have much smaller cooperation lifespans, and we constantly ask what makes us so great, so we never lose it.
Conclusion: Magebit is the solution for high-stakes Shopify merchants
The choice facing every scaling brand on Shopify Plus is clear. You can continue patching the symptoms of growth with more apps and temporary fixes, hoping your store doesn't collapse. Or you can engage a true strategic partner who will do everything necessary to help you grow, become more efficient, and dramatically improve your bottom line.
With Magebit, you're not just hiring technical developers. You're gaining an enterprise engineering team, a strategic consultancy, and a growth partner all in one. We build the platform your ambition deserves, and we create the strategy that ensures it succeeds.
