The best Shopify agencies in 2026 are IT-Geeks, Arctic Grey and Kubix at the top, with nine more strong picks below, each best at a different kind of job. All 12 are Platinum or Premier partners, Shopify's top two tiers, which only 322 of its 5,454 service partners hold.
For each one we read its Shopify partner profile and opened the client stores it shows off: are they live, really on Shopify, and fast on mobile?

The Hope Factory is the most-reviewed agency we found in Australia, and much of its work brings smaller brands over from other platforms: it moved the fashion boutique Coco & Lola from Neto to Shopify Plus.
Robert Gordon now runs three Shopify Plus stores it built, one each for pottery, interiors and hospitality.
Creative971 builds Shopify stores in Arabic and English, and Shopify is all it does. It moved Nayomi from Magento to a bilingual Shopify Plus store and works for Ted Baker and Sandro in the UAE.
Start from the job, not the logo. A move from another platform, a B2B store tied to an ERP, a redesign and monthly fixes are different jobs. The “Best for” line on each agency above says which one it does best.
Open three stores it built. Check they load, that they still run on Shopify and how they feel on your phone. In our checks about one showcased store in eight was offline or no longer on Shopify.
Read its Shopify partner profile. The tier, the number of reviews and the date of the newest one tell you how much Shopify work it has shipped and whether it is still shipping it.
Ask what the starting price covers. The price on a Shopify profile is usually for one small service. Of the 71 agencies we saw publish one, half start at $400 or less, while full builds are quoted per project.
Ask before you sign: who will build your store (its own team or contractors), what you get at handover (theme code, app and admin access, notes), what support costs after launch, and which apps it plans to install and what they cost each month.
Planning launch offers too? DiscountOS sets up bundles, tiered pricing, free gifts and BOGO in one app, and it is free to build on a development store, so your agency can test every offer before launch.
What a Shopify agency costs in 2026
The price on an agency’s Shopify partner profile is its entry price, usually for one small service such as a fix or an app setup. Of the 171 agencies whose profiles we read in 14 countries, 71 publish one: half start at $400 or less, 12 start at $5,000 or more, and the highest entry price we saw was $35,000. A full store build, a move from another platform or a Shopify Plus project is quoted per project, so ask each agency on your shortlist for a written quote for the same brief.

Shopify partner tiers, explained
Shopify places its service partners in tiers. From the top, they are Platinum, Premier, Plus and Select. On 31 October 2026 the Shopify Partner Directory listed 5,454 service partners worldwide, and 4,058 of them carried a tier: 142 Platinum, 180 Premier, 1,019 Plus and 2,717 Select.
Every agency on this list is Platinum (8) or Premier (4), the top two tiers, held by 322 partners, about 6% of the directory. The “Plus” tier is a partner level, not the Shopify Plus plan: agencies at any tier can build on Shopify Plus.
What 456 client stores told us
Of the 456 client stores that Shopify agencies in 14 countries show as their work, 399 (87%) were live on Shopify when we opened them on 31 October and 1 November 2026. 41 were offline and 16 were live on another platform.

Client stores shown as their work by the agencies we researched in 14 countries, opened on 31 October and 1 November 2026.
Google has real-user speed data for 277 of those Shopify stores, and 164 of them (59%) pass Core Web Vitals on mobile.
Before you hire, open a few stores from the agency’s portfolio yourself: check that they load, that they are on Shopify, and how they feel on your phone. It takes ten minutes.
How we picked and checked
Our team started from 509 agencies that build on Shopify in the 14 countries we research, found through the Shopify Partner Directory, apps' partner lists and the agencies' own sites. An agency made the list only if Shopify is its core work and it shipped client work in 2025 or 2026.
For every agency on the list we checked:
its Shopify partner profile: tier, reviews and partner date;
its own site, wherever it let us in, and its listings on app partner directories;
up to three client stores it shows as its work. "Live on Shopify" means the store loads and its pages run on Shopify's storefront. "Fast on mobile" means it passes Core Web Vitals on phones in Google's real-user data (Chrome UX Report); no stamp means too little Google data or not passing yet.
The order follows one rule: agencies with a Shopify review from the last 12 months come first, because they are clearly still shipping work; then Shopify partner tier (Platinum, then Premier, Plus and Select); then how many reviews each has; then the share of its showcased stores live on Shopify. "Best for" says where each one is strongest, so a lower-ranked agency can still be the right pick for your project.

He has built Shopify stores and Shopify apps and has worked alongside Shopify agencies on client builds, and he writes our guides to how Shopify discounts work and our research on Shopify agencies. The research behind this page was done by hand by the DiscountOS team, and Shashwat checked and signed the ranking. "Weigh first" is the point we would raise with each agency before signing, from the same research. Every fact carries the date we checked it.
No agency paid to be here, and no listing depends on a link back. DiscountOS is a Shopify app, not an agency, so we have no one of our own to rank.
Questions people ask
What are the top Shopify agencies in the USA?
On this list: IT-Geeks in Salt Lake City, Arctic Grey, Total Commerce and Solo Media Group in New York, and Uncap in Chicago, all Platinum partners. Our full list of the best Shopify agencies in the US has eleven, with the client stores we checked for each.
What is a Shopify agency?
A Shopify agency is a company that builds and runs Shopify stores for brands: design, development, moving a store from another platform, apps and integrations, and often marketing. Many are listed on the Shopify Partner Directory, where Shopify places them in tiers from Select up to Platinum.
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify agency or expert?
Of the 171 agencies whose Shopify partner profiles we read in 14 countries, 71 publish a starting price. Half of them start at $400 or less, 12 start at $5,000 or more, and the highest entry price we saw was $35,000. That is the lowest price each agency lists, usually for one service; full builds and replatforms are quoted per project.
Should I hire a Shopify agency or a freelancer?
An agency brings a team, with design, development, integrations and support under one contract, and its Shopify partner profile shows its tier and reviews. A freelancer often suits a single task, such as a theme fix or an app setup. Many agencies here take small jobs too: Kubix lists work from $150 and Arctic Grey from $199.
How do I choose a Shopify agency?
Check four things: its Shopify partner profile (tier, and how many reviews it has and how recent they are), live client stores like yours (open them), named case studies with dates, and what its starting price covers. Those are the checks behind this list.
