Insights · Agency selection · July 2026
Written by a competitor. Makro is a Shopify Plus Premier Partner, and this list includes agencies we lose deals to. It exists because every other "best agencies" list is written by whoever wants to sell you, with no disclosure. Here is ours: we appear once, clearly marked, described with the same standard as everyone else.
Strongest at: Replatforms, B2B commerce, and ERP integration
This is us, so read this row with that in mind. The honest version: our edge is systems work. We run our own integration middleware, in production since 2014, connecting Shopify Plus to NetSuite, Dynamics, SAP, and Sage. If your project is storefront-plus-systems, we belong on your shortlist. If you want a pure brand-design studio, some of the agencies below are a better fit.
Strongest at: Enterprise DTC, subscriptions, and large replatforms
One of the most established Plus agencies in Europe, with a deep replatform practice and strong strategic layer. Frequently the right call for large DTC brands wanting a full-service European partner.
Strongest at: Storefront design and build for global DTC brands
Design-forward enterprise builds with a long list of recognizable DTC names. Strong choice when brand experience is the center of the project.
Strongest at: Full-service builds, migrations, and growth services
Broad full-service capability from build through marketing. A fit for merchants who want one partner across the storefront and the growth work after it.
Strongest at: Fashion and lifestyle DTC storefronts
New York studio with a focused fashion and lifestyle portfolio. When the brief is a premium consumer brand experience, they are consistently on the list.
Strongest at: Complex engineering and Magento-to-Shopify migrations
An engineering-heavy team with deep Magento roots, which makes them credible on complex migrations off that platform.
Strongest at: Headless storefronts and design engineering
A specialist headless shop with genuinely strong design engineering. The right shortlist for composable and highly custom front ends.
Match the agency's center of gravity to the hardest part of your project. If the hard part is brand and storefront experience, weight the design studios. If the hard part is a migration with order history, subscriptions, and SEO on the line, weight the replatform specialists. If the hard part is that your storefront has to talk to an ERP, a PIM, and a warehouse, weight the systems agencies. The tier tells you an agency has delivered before; the specialty tells you whether they have delivered your project before.
If the hard part of yours is systems: that is the work our Premier tier was earned on. If it is not, this list has you covered either way.
