Hey @SamDTCSupport
Having worked with multiple enterprise-level brands on Shopify Plus, here’s one feature that I believe would massively improve the platform:
Unified Multi-Storefront Management with Centralized Controls
Right now, running multiple storefronts (different languages, currencies, regions, or even brand divisions) on Shopify Plus is possible — but painfully fragmented.
You have to:
Duplicate stores manually
Sync inventory across stores via third-party apps or APIs
Manage separate themes, codebases, and checkout experiences
Patch analytics across storefronts separately
Duplicate workflows in Shopify Flow, Launchpad, or Scripts
There’s no clean native solution to centrally manage:
Product catalog updates
Inventory synchronization
Content localization
Campaign rollouts (discounts, banners, automations, etc.)
SEO and hreflang implementation across regions
Team permissions and role-based access per storefront
For enterprise clients scaling globally, this adds complexity, dev time, and operational costs. This is a feature we see natively handled much better in Adobe Commerce or Salesforce Commerce Cloud — and it’s time Shopify caught up.
A Real Use Case:
One of our clients runs 5 different regional Shopify stores — each with overlapping but customized product offerings. Managing inventory manually and keeping content synced across each instance creates a ton of unnecessary work for both our dev team and their internal ops team.
With a centralized dashboard, this could be solved overnight.
Another Big Ask: Better User Role Management
For larger orgs with marketing, dev, ops, and support teams — the current access levels in Shopify Plus are just too basic. We need:
Role-based restrictions on specific sections (e.g., product vs. checkout)
Read-only access for auditors or finance
Editable permissions by store or subdomain
This would reduce accidental changes and improve workflow governance — something every serious enterprise needs.
Conclusion:
Shopify Plus is amazing when it comes to scalability, ecosystem, and ease of use — but enterprise-grade store management is still catching up. A unified multi-storefront dashboard and granular role-based access controls would be game-changers.
Would love to hear what features other partners or merchants are craving too!
