Herd achieves Shopify Premier Partner status

We’ve levelled up! As of October 1^st 2025, we’re super excited to announce that we have been awarded Shopify Premier Partner status - one of the highest tiers within the Shopify Partner Program.

This is a huge milestone, and kicks off an exciting new chapter in our journey. It’s also a testament to the trust our clients place in us, as well as the expertise, creativity, and results-driven approach our team brings to every Shopify project.

What is a Shopify Premier Partner?

Shopify’s Premier Partner designation is given to agencies and service providers who have demonstrated exceptional performance, deep platform expertise, and a proven track record of helping merchants grow on Shopify.

For Herd, this achievement highlights our commitment to delivering solutions that go beyond the standard - from beautifully designed, high-performing websites like Chilly’s and PDH Sports to seamless integrations with third-party tools and apps.

As a Premier Partner, we have joined an elite group of less than 15 UK agencies – and just over 100 across the globe.

What does Premier status mean for our clients?

Being a Premier Partner gives Herd’s clients exclusive access to more resources, more support, and more insights directly from the Shopify team themselves. This means:

• Early access to new Shopify features and innovations
• More collaboration with Shopify’s internal teams
• Strategic support to accelerate growth for merchants of all sizes
• A guarantee that your store is in the hands of one of the most trusted and experienced Shopify agencies in the ecosystem

Managing Director, Tim Powell said: “Achieving Shopify Premier Partner status is a huge moment for Herd. It’s a real recognition of the hard work, creativity, and expertise our entire team brings to every Shopify project. Most importantly, it means we can deliver even greater value to our clients and help them grow faster on Shopify. We really believe that this is just the start - we’re excited for what’s next.”

But why do we like Shopify so much?

Simply put – it’s a gamechanger for eCommerce brands. It’s flexible, with powerful tools and a fantastic user experience that allows businesses to scale, and keep scaling with confidence.

No matter the size of the merchant, Shopify gives store owners the speed and innovation they need to thrive in what is a really tough world for retailers.

Always innovating, always looking ahead

Shopify has always been our platform of choice, and we have always believed in its power to do amazing things in the world of eCommerce. For us, this recognition solidifies our role as a leading partner in that mission. As we continue to grow alongside our clients, we’re ready to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the platform.

Thank you to our incredible team, across Shopify development and performance marketing, for their dedication and expertise, it’s fair to say this could not be done with them.
