"Shopify Plus development cost" signals high purchase intent. Buyers want all-in estimates before board approval — not hourly rates alone.
License: Shopify Plus starts around $2,300/month USD (negotiable at scale) — confirm current pricing with Shopify for your GMV tier.
Custom theme: $25K–$80K agency build with CRO-focused PDP templates and basic integrations.
Headless Hydrogen: $100K–$250K+ for enterprise UX, CMS integration, and global CDN strategy.
Apps & middleware: Budget $500–$5K/month for search, subscriptions, ERP connectors, and reviews — app sprawl kills margin.
Ongoing: 10–20% of build cost annually for enhancements, Shopify API version updates, and CRO experiments.
