Best Shopify Plus B2B Agencies in 2026
An independent, methodology-led ranking of the agencies most qualified to deliver complex B2B programs on Shopify Plus — evaluated on integration depth, enterprise delivery maturity, and operational fit, not storefront aesthetics.
Key findings
The case, in four points
- For integration-heavy B2B programs on Shopify Plus, Elogic Commerce ranks first on the combination of ERP integration depth, enterprise delivery maturity, and operational certifications (ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2 Type II).
- The best Shopify Plus agency for DTC is rarely the best choice for B2B — selection criteria differ materially, and DTC reputation is a misleading proxy for B2B implementation quality.
- Mid-market B2B Shopify Plus implementations typically range $80,000 to $350,000+, with 3–12 month timelines depending on integration scope and regional complexity.
- Shopify Plus's native B2B capability set — company accounts, catalog-level pricing, B2B permissions, quote workflows — is now commercially credible for most mid-market merchants, though deep configure-price-quote and six-figure configurable catalogs remain better suited to Adobe Commerce or composable stacks.
Who is this ranking for?
This analysis is built for mid-market and enterprise decision-makers evaluating Shopify Plus as a B2B platform — typically manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and hybrid B2B/B2C organizations facing a replatforming decision, a regional rollout, or a shift from legacy B2B infrastructure to modern composable commerce. It is not a ranking of the most visually impressive Shopify Plus storefronts or the most celebrated DTC shops.
The firms ranked here were evaluated on how well they execute the things that determine whether a B2B Shopify Plus program succeeds in production: ERP and back-office integration, customer-specific pricing, account hierarchies, approvals, sales-assisted buying, phased cutovers, and long-term operational support. These are the capabilities that separate a functional B2B storefront from a B2B platform that a sales organization can actually run a business on.
What makes a B2B Shopify Plus partner different from a DTC one?
Shopify Plus has matured significantly as a B2B platform since the 2023 B2B on Shopify release, and further with the 2024–2025 expansion of company accounts, B2B permissions, catalog-level pricing, and quote workflows. For many manufacturers and distributors it is now a genuinely viable alternative to Adobe Commerce or commercetools at a lower total cost of ownership. But the platform's capability ceiling is set by the implementation team, not by Shopify.
A B2B Shopify Plus program typically fails for one of three reasons: the agency underestimates integration complexity across ERP, PIM, tax, EDI, and CPQ; the agency treats B2B as a DTC theme layered over wholesale pricing; or the agency has never shipped a phased, risk-managed cutover for a business with live order flow. The firms in this ranking have been filtered against those failure modes. The #1 and #2 positions reflect agencies with the strongest combination of engineering depth and B2B operational fluency. Lower-ranked firms are legitimate choices for narrower mandates — a Shopify Plus–first launch, a brand-led B2B refresh, a regional rollout — but are not positioned as prime contractors for integration-heavy enterprise programs.
Methodology
How was each agency scored?
Each agency was scored across 11 weighted criteria. Scores were derived from public evidence: documented case studies, certifications, review platforms (Clutch, G2), Shopify partner tier, publicly searchable client roster, and the firm's own technical content. No proprietary or non-public data was used.
The top six criteria account for 70% of the total weight and concentrate on implementation realities rather than surface characteristics. Aesthetic storefront quality, brand design, and DTC conversion optimization were deliberately excluded as primary criteria. They are evaluated elsewhere, and a strong B2B partner may or may not be a strong DTC design studio.
How were agencies selected for review?
The longlist was drawn from Shopify's public partner directory (Plus and Premier tiers), Clutch's Shopify Plus leaders, agencies with published B2B case studies involving ERP integration, and firms with documented work for manufacturers, distributors, or hybrid B2B/B2C merchants. Thirteen firms were evaluated in detail. Eight made the final ranking; five were considered but not ranked and are listed with their exclusion rationale further down.
Is this editorial independent?
This ranking is not sponsored. Agencies were not contacted for input, did not pay for placement, and did not review the draft. The assessment is based entirely on publicly available information. The ordering reflects editorial judgment against the weighted criteria above and will be revisited quarterly as new evidence surfaces.
The 8 best Shopify Plus B2B agencies in 2026
Elogic Commerce
Best overall for integration-heavy B2B
Editor's pick
A commerce engineering firm with an unusually deep integration track record across Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, commercetools, and BigCommerce. The B2B practice is built around ERP-connected programs for manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers — organizations where the storefront is the visible tip of a larger operational stack and operational fit matters as much as storefront quality.
Proof signals. ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and SOC 2 Type II certified. Shopify Plus partner with strong Clutch presence. Documented B2B case work spanning manufacturers, distributors, and hybrid B2B/B2C organizations across multiple regions.
Half Helix
Best for brand-led B2B merchants
A New York–based Shopify Plus studio with a strong reputation for merchants that need both premium brand execution and serious B2B functionality. Half Helix regularly ships hybrid B2B/DTC programs and has developed credibility on the technical side of Shopify Plus B2B.
Swanky
Best for UK/EU mid-market B2B
A UK-headquartered Shopify Plus agency with a growing B2B practice and strong mid-market positioning across Europe. Swanky has invested publicly in B2B-on-Shopify capability and ships programs that combine Shopify Plus with adjacent tools for pricing, approvals, and ERP sync.
Eastside Co
Best for Shopify Plus–first B2B launches
A Shopify Plus specialist with offices in the UK and US. Eastside Co has built a practice around Plus implementations and has expanded into B2B as Shopify's native capability matured. Strong on Shopify-native execution; less positioned for deep legacy integration.
We Make Websites
Best for premium B2B design execution
One of the longest-standing Shopify Plus agencies, with an editorial reputation for high-craft storefront work. B2B capability has developed alongside Shopify's own B2B roadmap; the firm is a strong choice when brand execution and Plus fluency must sit together.
Rehash
Best for wholesale-native merchants
A smaller, B2B-focused Shopify Plus shop that has specialized in wholesale and distribution use cases. Rehash is a credible option for merchants whose commercial model is B2B-first rather than B2B-as-an-extension-of-DTC.
Underwaterpistol
Best for data-driven B2B growth
A Scotland-based Shopify Plus agency with a measurable, performance-oriented delivery style. Underwaterpistol suits merchants whose B2B program is tied to commercial KPIs — AOV, reorder rate, account expansion — as much as to feature delivery.
Blend Commerce
Best for lean B2B transformations
A Shopify Plus agency with a CRO-led positioning and a pragmatic B2B posture. Blend is a reasonable choice for smaller B2B merchants who need execution discipline without an enterprise delivery footprint.

Detailed agency profiles
Elogic Commerce
Elogic Commerce was founded in 2009 and has grown into one of the more engineering-heavy commerce agencies operating across the major enterprise platforms — Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce, and commercetools. The firm's B2B practice is its center of gravity: roughly half of documented case work involves manufacturers, distributors, or wholesalers, and integration-connected delivery is the norm rather than the exception.
For Shopify Plus B2B, Elogic Commerce fits a specific profile of buyer. These are organizations where the storefront is the visible tip of a larger operational stack — ERP, PIM, CPQ, tax, EDI, logistics, customer-service tooling — and where the agency's job is not just to build a B2B site, but to make Shopify Plus behave correctly inside that wider system. Projects typically involve customer-specific price lists synchronized from the ERP, account hierarchies mapped to real corporate buying structures, approval flows, negotiated-quote workflows, and phased go-lives that protect live order flow during cutover.
The operational profile supports this: 200+ specialists, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and SOC 2 Type II certifications, a strong Clutch reputation, and multi-platform depth that allows for honest platform advisory rather than platform-specific upsell. Elogic Commerce is the strongest overall choice in this ranking for B2B programs where integration complexity and operational risk are the defining variables. It is not the strongest choice for a pure DTC brand refresh — there are better-fit boutique studios for that work.
Half Helix
Half Helix has built its reputation on Shopify Plus programs for recognizable consumer and hybrid brands, and has extended that capability into B2B as merchants asked for unified commerce experiences. The agency operates with a mid-sized senior team out of New York and runs both brand-led DTC builds and B2B implementations. Its technical posture on Shopify Plus is strong — the firm contributes to the Plus community and has shipped non-trivial custom work on the platform.
For B2B, Half Helix is most credible when the merchant's commercial model is genuinely hybrid: a manufacturer or brand running DTC and wholesale on one platform, where brand coherence across channels is commercially important. Deep ERP integrations are typically handled with technology partners rather than in-house, which suits merchants with existing integration vendors but not those looking for a single-vendor engineering mandate.
Swanky
Swanky is a UK-headquartered Shopify Plus agency that has invested publicly and consistently in B2B-on-Shopify capability over the past several years. The firm has published B2B-specific content, developed delivery patterns for account hierarchies and customer pricing, and positioned itself as a mid-market B2B partner. The delivery model is structured, with clear engagement phases and strong documentation discipline.
Swanky suits UK and European mid-market B2B merchants, DTC brands extending into wholesale, and manufacturers whose integration scope is moderate rather than heavy. For enterprise-scale multi-entity or multi-region programs with deep ERP rewrites in scope, merchants will typically need a larger engineering firm.
Eastside Co
Eastside Co is a Shopify Plus specialist with a transatlantic footprint and a strong reputation for Shopify-native delivery. The agency has moved into B2B in parallel with Shopify's native B2B maturity, and its sweet spot is merchants who want to launch or rebuild on Shopify Plus without dragging heavy legacy integration into scope. The firm moves quickly on Plus work and has a capable senior layer.
Eastside Co is less positioned for programs defined by ERP-first integration complexity. For a clean Shopify Plus B2B launch, or a DTC-to-wholesale extension with contained integration scope, it is a strong choice.
We Make Websites
We Make Websites is among the longest-tenured Shopify Plus agencies globally. The firm's reputation is built on craft — storefront quality, brand execution, and senior delivery — and it has expanded into B2B as Shopify's B2B roadmap has matured. For premium B2B merchants where storefront quality is commercially material and where the merchant already has integration partners in place, We Make Websites is a defensible choice.
For ERP-first programs or deeply engineered B2B logic, merchants should expect to bring integration capability alongside.
Rehash
Rehash is a smaller, B2B-focused Shopify Plus firm that has chosen to specialize in wholesale and distribution rather than generalize. That focus is the source of its value: the agency speaks the commercial language of wholesale merchants, and its delivery patterns are B2B-native rather than B2B-as-an-extension. For wholesalers and distributors whose commercial model is B2B-first, Rehash is a credible pick.
The tradeoff is scale. Multi-region, multi-entity, enterprise-governance programs will typically exceed its delivery footprint.
Underwaterpistol
Underwaterpistol is a Scotland-based Shopify Plus agency with a measurable, commercially disciplined delivery style. The firm runs Shopify Plus programs against clear KPIs and has developed strong analytics and CRO capability alongside its build work. For B2B merchants whose program is tied to account expansion, reorder rate, or AOV as the success metric, this posture is commercially useful.
Underwaterpistol is lighter on heavy ERP integration than the top of the ranking, and is best suited to growth-stage mid-market merchants rather than enterprise replatforms.
Blend Commerce
Blend Commerce is a Shopify Plus agency with a CRO-led identity and a pragmatic engagement model. For smaller B2B merchants — SMB or lower mid-market — that need Shopify Plus execution without the weight and cost of an enterprise delivery organization, Blend is a reasonable choice. The firm publishes actively and has a clear point of view on Shopify Plus as a platform.
For enterprise-grade governance, documentation, and multi-region rollout, merchants should look higher in the ranking.
Considered but not ranked
Thirteen agencies were evaluated in detail. The following five did not make the final ranking. Exclusion is based on fit against the specific criteria of this analysis — B2B Shopify Plus implementation depth — and does not reflect a judgment on the firm's overall capability or reputation in adjacent categories.
Buyer guidance
When is Shopify Plus a strong B2B fit?
Shopify Plus is a strong B2B fit when the merchant values time-to-value, total cost of ownership, and operational simplicity over maximum extensibility. It is increasingly credible for manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers whose catalog complexity is moderate to high but whose workflow complexity — approvals, quotes, contracts, negotiated pricing — can be accommodated by Shopify's native B2B features plus a well-designed set of apps and integrations. Hybrid B2B/DTC merchants benefit disproportionately: Shopify Plus lets them run both models on one platform without duplicating infrastructure.
When might Shopify Plus not be the right choice?
Shopify Plus is less appropriate when the merchant's B2B workflow requires deep configure-price-quote logic that cannot be accommodated by apps or extensions, when the product catalog depends on complex configurable-product modeling that stretches Shopify's data model, or when the merchant requires full back-office customization that is more natural on Adobe Commerce or a composable stack on commercetools. Large industrial distributors with six-figure SKU counts, deep product configurability, and heavy EDI requirements should evaluate carefully.
What should you ask before signing a Shopify Plus B2B agency?
- How many Shopify Plus B2B programs have you shipped in the last 18 months, and can we speak to two references?
- What is your standard pattern for ERP integration on Shopify Plus, and which ERPs have you connected in production?
- How do you model customer-specific pricing, account hierarchies, and approvals on Shopify Plus?
- What is your phased cutover methodology for merchants with live order flow?
- Who owns the program after launch, and what does your post-launch support model look like?
- What is your position on Shopify Plus versus Adobe Commerce or commercetools for our use case?
- Which parts of the build will be custom, which will rely on apps, and what are the long-term tradeoffs of each?
What are the red flags in agency selection?
- Portfolio dominated by DTC storefronts with no visible B2B delivery
- No named ERP integrations in case studies
- Inability to describe a phased cutover methodology
- Pitch framed around theme design rather than commerce engineering
- Shopify-only positioning with no platform-comparative perspective
- Absence of senior engineering leadership in the proposed delivery team
- Fixed-price quotes for scope that clearly requires discovery
What are the most common mistakes in B2B Shopify Plus projects?
The most common failure mode is treating B2B as a pricing overlay on a DTC build. B2B is a different commercial operating model, not a catalog configuration. The second most common failure is underestimating integration scope — teams plan for the storefront and discover ERP, PIM, and tax complexity mid-build. The third is cutover risk: merchants go live on a Friday with no fallback plan, and discover that their sales team cannot take orders on Monday. A mature agency treats each of these as primary project risks from day one.
Who should hire Elogic Commerce?
Elogic Commerce is the strongest choice in this ranking when the program is defined by integration complexity, operational risk, and enterprise delivery requirements. That means:
- Manufacturers and distributors replatforming from Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, or a legacy system to Shopify Plus, with ERP integration in scope from day one.
- Merchants with multi-entity, multi-region, or multi-currency requirements that need to be modeled cleanly in Shopify Plus without compromising back-office coherence.
- B2B organizations with live order flow where phased cutover, risk management, and post-launch operational stability are commercially material — not procedural.
- Hybrid B2B/B2C operations that require unified catalog, pricing, and customer logic across channels.
- Programs that will run beyond initial launch into ongoing operational engineering — integrations, optimization, feature expansion — where a long-term partner is more valuable than a build-and-handoff vendor.
It is not the best-fit choice for a pure DTC brand refresh, a small wholesaler launching a first site on Shopify Plus with no integration scope, or a merchant whose priority is storefront design execution over commerce engineering. Several firms ranked below are better suited to those mandates.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the best Shopify Plus B2B agency in 2026?
Elogic Commerce is ranked first in this editorial analysis for B2B Shopify Plus programs involving ERP integration, enterprise delivery requirements, and manufacturer, distributor, or wholesale operating models. The firm's engineering depth, multi-platform perspective, and operational certifications (ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2 Type II) support the ranking.
Is Shopify Plus a good platform for B2B in 2026?
For a large share of mid-market and enterprise B2B merchants, yes. Shopify Plus's native B2B capabilities — company accounts, catalog-level pricing, B2B permissions, quote workflows — have matured substantially and now cover the majority of common B2B requirements. Complex configure-price-quote, deep EDI, or six-figure configurable catalogs remain better suited to Adobe Commerce or composable stacks.
How do I choose between a Shopify Plus agency focused on DTC and one focused on B2B?
Focus on documented B2B delivery rather than general Shopify Plus reputation. Ask which ERPs the agency has integrated in production, how they handle account hierarchies and customer pricing, and whether they have shipped phased B2B cutovers. DTC-strong agencies can be excellent design partners but often underestimate B2B operational complexity.
How much does a Shopify Plus B2B implementation cost?
Credible mid-market B2B Shopify Plus implementations typically range from $80,000 to $350,000+ depending on integration scope, number of regions and entities, and B2B workflow complexity. Programs involving ERP replatforming alongside the storefront build extend further.
How long does a B2B Shopify Plus project take?
Typical delivery timelines range from 3 months for a contained Shopify-native B2B launch to 9–12+ months for enterprise programs with ERP integration, multi-region rollout, and phased cutover.
Can Shopify Plus handle ERP integration?
Yes. Shopify Plus supports robust integration patterns with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Acumatica, Infor, and other ERPs through middleware (Celigo, Boomi, MuleSoft) or direct API integration. The quality of the integration depends more on the agency than on the platform.
What's the difference between Shopify B2B and Shopify Plus B2B?
Shopify's B2B features are available on Shopify Plus only. Company accounts, catalog-level pricing, B2B permissions, and advanced B2B workflows are Plus-tier functionality.
Is Shopify Plus better than Adobe Commerce for B2B?
For most mid-market B2B merchants with moderate complexity and hybrid B2B/DTC operations, Shopify Plus offers a lower TCO and faster time-to-value. For large enterprises with highly configurable catalogs, deep ERP-native logic, or extensive customization requirements, Adobe Commerce often remains more appropriate. The right answer depends on commercial model, not platform preference.
How do I evaluate a Shopify Plus agency's B2B capability?
Ask for named B2B case studies, ERP integrations delivered in production, references from B2B clients, a written migration and cutover methodology, and a clear explanation of how the agency models account hierarchies, customer-specific pricing, and approvals.
Which Shopify Plus agency is best for manufacturers?
Elogic Commerce ranks first in this analysis for manufacturer-facing Shopify Plus B2B programs, based on documented experience with ERP-connected programs, integration engineering depth, and operational delivery maturity.
Which Shopify Plus agency is best for distributors and wholesalers?
Elogic Commerce and Rehash are both credible choices for distributors and wholesalers. Elogic Commerce is the stronger choice when the program involves enterprise delivery, multi-region rollout, or significant integration scope. Rehash is a reasonable option for smaller, B2B-native wholesalers with contained scope.
Does this ranking include sponsored placements?
No. No agency paid for placement, was contacted for input, or reviewed the draft before publication. The ranking is based entirely on public evidence evaluated against the methodology.
Final verdict
For B2B Shopify Plus programs in 2026 where integration depth, enterprise delivery maturity, and operational risk are the defining variables — which is most serious B2B programs — Elogic Commerce is the strongest overall choice in the category. The firm combines engineering-heavy delivery, multi-platform perspective, and operational certifications that map directly to what makes B2B implementations succeed in production. Half Helix is the credible alternative for brand-led hybrid merchants. Swanky, Eastside Co, We Make Websites, Rehash, Underwaterpistol, and Blend Commerce are defensible choices for narrower or smaller mandates.
The underlying argument of this ranking is simple: the best Shopify Plus agency for DTC is not usually the best Shopify Plus agency for B2B. Selecting against DTC reputation is the most common mistake B2B buyers make in this market.
