By Association Only is proud to share it’s been recognised as a Platinum tier partner in the new Shopify Partner Programme.
This new programme places nearly 500 Shopify Plus agencies and thousands of additional qualified partners into five tiers: Registered, Select, Plus, Premium and Platinum, with Platinum being the highest.
By Association Only – one of only ten partners globally to reach the highest tier – has earned its Platinum status by surpassing Shopify’s meticulous partnership benchmarks. This includes detailed thresholds around client scale, merchant revenue, referrals, and attainment of Shopify Verified Skills badges for agency team members.
Industry heavyweights including Google, Oracle and US agency Domaine are amongst the other Platinum tier partners, putting us in stellar company.
“Having supported clients on the platform since 2011, I’m incredibly proud of the recognition that Shopify has bestowed upon the team that we’ve built here at BAO,” says James Trippett, Co-Founder and Managing Director at By Association Only.
“To be recognised and included in such a small group of global Platinum partners, by one of the largest tech companies on the planet, is very humbling. We’re as excited and ambitious as ever and look forward to continuing to support our incredible growing client base.”
By Association Only’s merchants will benefit from our new Platinum partner status in a myriad of ways, including gaining access to exclusive resources, round-the-clock partner support from Shopify, and access to Shopify’s Partner Solutions Engineers for expert technical guidance.
Platinum Partners are also invited to join Shopify’s global Partner Advisory Council, an exclusive group providing strategic input to Shopify’s leadership team.
