First Pier is a senior-led Shopify Plus agency. We help high-volume and fast-scaling brands get the full value of Plus — checkout extensibility, B2B, expansion stores, Functions, and custom development — built and run by people who have worked on Shopify Plus since 2019.
Custom storefronts, theme work, app integrations, and the functionality a business needs beyond what a stock theme offers.
Shopify development →Enterprise builds, checkout customization, B2B, and multi-store setups for higher-volume brands.
Shopify Plus optimization →Moving a store to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or a legacy platform without losing search equity.
Shopify migrations →Turning existing traffic into more sales through testing and refinement.
Shopify CRO →Shopify Plus is powerful, but the value is not in the plan — it is in what you do with checkout extensibility, Functions, B2B, and expansion stores. That work rewards specialists who have done it before, not generalists learning on your account.
We have built on Shopify Plus since 2019, and the work is done by senior people. That means fewer wrong turns on the enterprise features that are easy to misconfigure, and a partner who will tell you honestly when Plus is worth it and when it is not.
A discovery phase to understand the business, its customers, and its goals.
Design and development scoped clearly up front — no surprises after a project starts.
Thorough testing before launch so the store works on day one.
For ongoing partners, continued optimization once the store is live.
A Shopify Plus agency builds, customizes, and optimizes stores on Shopify's enterprise tier — the work that goes beyond standard Shopify: checkout extensibility, B2B and wholesale storefronts, expansion stores, Shopify Functions for custom discount and shipping logic, and advanced automation and integrations.
Plus generally pays off once checkout-conversion gains, multi-store management, and lower transaction fees offset its higher cost — usually somewhere above $1M–$2M in annual Shopify revenue. We will give you an honest read on whether you are there yet.
Yes. We are based in Portland, Maine and work with Plus brands nationwide. Ecommerce is location-independent — the work happens the same way wherever you are.
Yes. We build and optimize on Shopify Plus and have worked on the platform since 2019 — across checkout customization, B2B, expansion stores, and custom Plus development.
Yes, and it is usually more of an upgrade than a migration — your store, data, and theme carry over. The work is in activating and configuring the Plus-specific features so you actually use what you are paying for.
Whether you are upgrading to Plus, migrating in, or trying to get more out of the Plus you already pay for, First Pier can help.
