Under Shopify’s new tiered structure — Registered, Select, Plus, Premier, and Platinum — partners are evaluated based on technical expertise, business impact, and client success. The Premier tier is reserved for high-performing partners that are “typically preferred by large enterprises” for their proven ability to execute large-scale transformation projects.
