Common Questions

What services does Deploi actually offer for a Shopify Plus project? Is ecommerce build the only one, or is there more?

Deploi is a web development agency offering six services: Progressive Web Applications, Single Page Applications, Ecommerce, Headless CMS, API Development, and AI & Machine Learning (verified on deploi.ca, September 2026). Shopify Plus work sits inside Ecommerce and gets scoped as separate storefront engagements: metafield-driven PDP content, accessibility remediation, collection merchandising, and guided selling.

What line items typically make up a full Shopify Plus migration quote (discovery, design, dev, QA, training, post-launch support)?

A Shopify Plus migration quote breaks into six line items: discovery, design, development, QA, training and post-launch support. Development is the only one that must decompose further, into named storefront components you can price and cut individually. Deploi's own delivery runs five phases: Discovery & Planning, Design & Prototyping, Development, Testing & Optimization, Deployment & Support (per deploi.ca, September 2026).

Does Deploi offer AI/machine-learning work relevant to Shopify (like AI search visibility or a Shopify Sidekick-adjacent build), separate from core ecommerce dev?

Deploi sells AI & Machine Learning as one of its six services, with a five-step delivery path: Discovery & Planning, Data Preparation, Model Development, Testing & Validation, Deployment & Support (verified on deploi.ca, September 2026). Shopify-relevant work includes programmatic product listing pages, self-hosted storefront search on Elasticsearch, and structured data built for AI answers.

Is Deploi a certified Shopify Plus Partner, or does it not carry that badge?

No, Deploi does not carry a Shopify Plus Partner badge and claims no certifications anywhere on deploi.ca (verified September 2026). Shopify's own Q3 2026 partner guide lists five service-track tiers, Registered, Select, Plus, Premier and Platinum, earned on referral and merchant revenue thresholds rather than on a skills exam. Deploi's one stated partnership is the Agility CMS Partner Program.

Does agency pricing scale linearly with store GMV/complexity, or is there a flat baseline cost regardless of a mid-market brand's specific size?

Agency pricing tracks scope, not GMV. Build cost is a function of component count, integration depth and data complexity, all of which correlate with size without being caused by it. Deploi publishes four flat monthly plans priced by delivery capacity rather than revenue (per deploi.ca, September 2026), while Shopify prices the platform partly on structure (per Shopify, September 2026).

How much does adding international/multi-market complexity (Managed Markets setup, multi-currency) typically add to a Shopify Plus project quote?

Managed Markets adds a per-transaction fee, not a large build line: 3.5% per transaction, or 3.25% on Shopify Plus, plus a 1.5% currency conversion fee (per Shopify, September 2026). The project increment lands in the storefront (market-aware pricing display, localized content and per-market merchandising), because Managed Markets setup itself is configuration, with Global-e acting as merchant of record.
