What do Shopify partner tiers mean?

Shopify has four partner tiers: Select, Plus, Premier and Platinum. Tiers reflect experience and proven success on Shopify, among other factors. Thresholds are not public.

  • TierSelect
  • TierPlus
  • TierPremier
  • TierPlatinum

Verify any tier in the Shopify Partner Directory (checked 9 Nov 2026). A badge on an agency’s own site is not proof.

Watch out: the partner tier named Plus is not the Shopify Plus store plan. Shopify does not link the two.

Do you need Shopify or Shopify Plus?

Start on a standard Shopify plan. Move to Plus when you need full checkout control, extra market stores, custom functions or unlimited staff accounts.

What should a brand ask a Shopify agency?

Ask about seven things: tier, live stores, references, local integrations, ownership, post-launch support and reply time. Get answers in writing.

How do you check an agency's claims?

Don't trust badges alone. Check the Shopify Partner Directory, test live stores, call two references and read the contract.

Red flags:

  • Tier shown on its site, but not in Shopify’s directory.
  • No live store URLs to test.
  • Project count with no platform split.
  • Store account registered in the agency’s name.

How much local experience does it need (payments, shipping, marketplaces)?

Enough to show a live Indonesian store where local payments, couriers and marketplace sync already work.

  • Payments

    Shopify Payments is only available in certain countries (Shopify pricing FAQ). Ask which gateway you’ll use.

  • Shipping

    Test live rates and tracking.

  • Marketplaces

    Ask how stock syncs, and ask to see it.
