Shopify Plus for Australian Business
Shopify Plus offers enterprise-level eCommerce solutions designed to meet the needs of Australian businesses. It’s built to handle substantial growth while ensuring your online store performs at its best.
Performance and Growth
Shopify Plus supports Australian businesses with features designed to handle growth and high demand:
| Performance Metric | Capability |
|---|---|
| Order Processing | Handles up to 8,000 orders per minute |
| Bandwidth | Unlimited |
| Store Capacity | Includes up to 10 stores |
These capabilities make it easy to manage high-traffic events like Boxing Day sales or Click Frenzy promotions. With multi-store functionality, you can run separate storefronts for different markets or business models without extra costs, keeping everything efficient and organised.
Business Process Automation
Shopify Plus simplifies operations with tools that reduce manual work. The Launchpad tool is especially useful for Australian businesses managing sales and promotions, offering features like:
- Automating product launches
- Scheduling price changes
- Adjusting themes dynamically
- Setting custom shipping rules
- Automating inventory management
These tools are a game-changer during major shopping events like Black Friday and Boxing Day, where smooth execution of campaigns is critical.
Platform Integration Options
Streamlining operations doesn’t stop there – Shopify Plus offers integration solutions to connect your eCommerce store with your existing systems:
| Integration Category | Available Systems |
|---|---|
| Financial Systems | Xero, MYOB, NetSuite |
| Inventory Management | Cin7, Tradegecko |
| Marketing Platforms | Klaviyo, Emarsys |
| Marketplaces | eBay, Amazon |
These integrations ensure your workflows are connected and efficient. For businesses managing both B2B and B2C operations, the Wholesale Channel feature enables a separate wholesale storefront that works alongside your retail store. This simplifies inventory and order management across both channels.
Additionally, Shopify Plus’s robust API supports automated data syncing across all your systems. This ensures accurate stock levels, streamlines order processing, and delivers a consistent customer experience across every sales channel.

We monitor key metrics like conversion rates, average order value, customer lifetime value, and traffic quality. Using tools like heat and mouse flow analysis, we make data-driven improvements to increase sales performance.
