Auckland-headquartered. ANZ-focused.
hello@atlasstudios.agency
We build and migrate Shopify Plus stores for ANZ retailers and B2B operators who have outgrown their platform.
As a fully hosted, cloud-native platform, Shopify Plus delivers 99.99% uptime, global infrastructure, and the ability to handle extreme traffic spikes without compromise.
Remove the burden of server management, security patches, and platform maintenance and free your team to focus on growth, not firefighting.
Most Shopify builds start with a theme and end with a compromise.
A layout bent to fit a template, integrations bolted on afterwards, and a checkout nobody stress-tested until a campaign broke it. It works until volume, or a second sales channel, or a wholesale customer asks it to do something it was never designed to do.
We start from the other end.
How big is your catalogue, and how often does it change? Where does inventory actually live? What has to talk to the ERP, and how often? Which customers buy at different prices? Those answers decide the architecture, and the architecture decides whether the build still works in three years.
Then we build it.
Custom themes on Shopify Plus, B2B portals with real pricing logic, ERP and 3PL integrations that don't drop orders, and migrations that keep your search rankings intact.
Decades of experience solutioning on Shopify, all converging to bring you a best-in-class experience.
From the first architecture call to the post-launch roadmap, the work that makes a Plus build hold.
Custom Theme Development
Bespoke Shopify Plus themes built from your design, fast by default and structured so your team can actually edit them.
Replatforming & Migration
Moves from WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce or Salesforce with product data, customers and search rankings intact.
B2B & Wholesale
Company accounts, customer-specific price lists and payment terms, leveraging Shopify's native functionality where possible.
ERP & Systems Integration
NetSuite, Cin7, Unleashed and other systems connected so inventory, orders and back-office stay accurate without manual reconciliation.
Checkout & Functions
Custom discounts, complex checkout logic, shipping and validation permutations, using Shopify Functions.
Front-end development
Pixel-perfect development for high-performance designs.
To move a brand onto Shopify Plus without disruption, Atlas Studios follows a structured build process covering architecture, design, development, migration and launch.
Each phase is carefully designed to ensure your team can run the store efficiently from day one.
Before design or code, we map what the build has to survive: catalogue size and how often it changes, where inventory actually lives, which systems must talk to each other, and how B2B and retail fit in. The architecture set here decides what's easy to change later and what isn't.
Your storefront designed around how customers move through it, not around a template's constraints. Prototyped and reviewed before development starts, so changes happen in Figma where they cost hours instead of in code where they cost weeks.
Custom theme development on Shopify Plus, with ERP, 3PL, POS and Klaviyo integrations built and tested as part of the build rather than bolted on afterwards. Decades of commerce architecture experience driving each decision.
Products, variants, customers and order history moved with integrity checks at every step. URL redirects mapped before cutover, so the search rankings you've spent years earning move with you instead of dying at the DNS switch.
Load testing for campaign-day traffic, checkout testing across every payment method, device and accessibility testing. Your team trained on the admin before go-live, so launch day is as seamless as possible.

Plus isn't just a bigger plan. It opens up parts of the platform that standard plans don't have, and most of the value sits in the parts brands never switch on.
The focus is on outcomes that outlast the build.
Performance, revenue, staff enablement, and a platform your team can run without relying on an external partner for every minor change.
A Store That Converts
Every build decision made against conversion, not aesthetics alone, so the site earns its cost back.
Rankings That Survive
Migrations with full redirect mapping, so the organic traffic you've built moves across instead of disappearing.
One Source of Truth
Inventory, orders and customers accurate across online, retail and wholesale without manual reconciliation.
Speed Under Load
A storefront load-tested for your biggest trading day, not just an average Tuesday afternoon.
A Team That Owns It
A senior partnership team accountable for the outcome alongside you, not just a project vendor. We say the hard thing when it matters.
Room to Grow
Every Shopify update, your online store gets smarter, better and more efficient.
Most builds age badly because they can't absorb change. The architecture decides what you can add later without starting over.
New channels
Retail, wholesale, agentic and international added as extensions, not separate rebuilds.
Scale with Shopify
Shopify ships hundreds of updates twice a year. Clean builds adopt them. Scale with Shopify.
Clean Data Foundations
Structured product, pricing and inventory data: the foundation every new channel needs.
Yes.
We're a unified commerce agency building beautifully architected unified commerce experiences with Shopify Plus and Shopify POS.

Shopify Markets handles multi-currency pricing, local payment methods and market-specific catalogues from one admin. Most ANZ brands we work with start with an NZ store and add Australia as a market rather than building a second storefront.
Shopify Plus also comes with additional "Expansion" stores as part of your plan.
Talk to our team to find out if markets or expansion stores are the right fit for your requirements.
Assuming you are migrating platforms, only if the redirects aren't mapped.
Every old URL needs pointing at its closest new equivalent before the DNS switch, with backlinked and ranking pages prioritised. Done properly, rankings hold. Done as an afterthought, traffic drops and takes months to recover.
No effect on search rankings if you're simply upgrading plans within Shopify.
It depends almost entirely on catalogue complexity and how many systems have to talk to each other.
A single-channel storefront and a multi-region build with ERP and wholesale are different orders of work.
We scope all projects carefully before a proposal.
Most brands are ready when one of three things is true: you've hit the transaction volume where Plus fees cost less than your current platform fees, you need B2B, extensibility or international selling that Shopify's standard plans can't support, or you're spending developer time working around checkout limits.
If none of those applies yet, upgrading early rarely pays for itself.
Talk to our team to find out if upgrading is worth it for you.
