Maze becomes a Shopify Select Partner: a recognition that speaks volumes
As we write these lines, we just learned that Maze has been officially recognized as a Shopify Select Partner, and we’re pretty thrilled to finally share this news with you. For context, it’s been on our vision board for about three years now, and we’ve been working hard to earn this recognition.
From our very first Shopify store (still live for the curious 👀—check out Souvenir de famille) to our large-scale projects in recent years — a lightning-fast Laravel > Shopify migration for Speclite, a Hydrogen Headless Custom Storefront for Looky, and many more — let’s be honest, at Maze we don’t just build Shopify stores. We build solid, high-performing, and sustainable eCommerce ecosystems. And this recognition? It’s the cherry on top.
To everyone who’s crossed paths with Maze, thank you. This recognition belongs entirely to you. Starting a company during the pandemic, being a couple in business, juggling the highs and lows of entrepreneurship… it’s thanks to you that this wild ride is so worth it. Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx
On to the next,
Katherine & Simon

What does it actually mean?
Shopify Select is the top tier of the Shopify Partner Program. It represents the top 4% of partners who have demonstrated their expertise through large-scale projects, sustained growth, and meaningful contributions to the Shopify ecosystem. In other words, Shopify recognizes Maze as a trusted partner for ambitious brands.
When the program was introduced, the Shopify trainer made an analogy about seats in a baseball stadium (we didn’t totally get it 💀)… but apparently, we’ve got some pretty damn good seats in the ecosystem now.
Why it matters
Being part of the Shopify Select Partners program gives us privileged access to advanced resources, training, and features — all of which we bring directly to our clients.
In concrete terms, that means:
-
Early access to new Shopify features and releases
-
Direct communication with the Shopify and Shopify Plus teams
-
Strategic insights to help stores grow faster (and smarter)
-
Official recognition of the quality and impact of our work
What this means for our clients
Nothing — except better 😇
We’ll keep doing what we do best: helping Shopify brands grow, now with even more support, credibility, and tools at their disposal.
Whether you’re a startup scaling fast or an established brand looking to optimize your eCommerce experience, you’ll now benefit from an even more strategic partnership — officially recognized by Shopify.
What’s next?
We’re not stopping here. You know us 🤪
Becoming a Shopify Select Partner is an amazing recognition, but more than that, it’s motivation to keep pushing further: more optimizations, more audits, more successful migrations, more tangible results.
Same Maze, just with a louder badge.
