$2,500

Monthly price for Alloy's Business plan with 100,000 actions and unlimited workflows

Alloy's Business plan is $2,500 per month for 100,000 monthly actions with unlimited active workflows, one-minute polling, webhooks, API calls, team workspaces, and dedicated support. Higher-volume plans scale above that. The price point makes Alloy an enterprise tool it is not the right choice for brands where MESA at $12 per month or Shopify Flow (free) would cover the automation requirements.

100s

Apps Alloy connects to including Shopify, NetSuite, Klaviyo, Gorgias, Slack, and Recharge

Alloy connects to hundreds of apps across eCommerce, ERP, CRM, customer service, marketing, and operations categories. It supports custom webhooks and API connections for systems not in the standard connector library. For enterprise Shopify brands running a complex multi-system stack, Alloy provides the glue layer that connects them into coherent automated workflows.

98%

Client Retention

98% of Shero's clients stay on retainer after their project closes. Alloy workflows need ongoing maintenance as connected systems update their APIs, new automation requirements emerge, and workflow logic is refined as operations evolve.

Shopify

Premier Partner

Shero holds Shopify Premier Partner status, one of fewer than 150 agencies globally. Alloy implementations building complex multi-step workflows across Shopify, ERP, CRM, and customer service tools require both workflow architecture and Shopify platform depth to build reliably.

Since partnering with Shero Commerce, our eCommerce revenue has grown by 200%. Their support and solutions have been game changers for our business.

What Alloy Automation does and when it is the right choice

Alloy is right for enterprise Shopify brands running 10+ connected apps where complex multi-step automation across those systems requires more than Shopify Flow or a simpler tool like MESA can handle. The setup includes:

  • Alloy account setup and Shopify connection
  • Workflow design and build for high-priority automation requirements
  • NetSuite, Klaviyo, Gorgias, and other app connections
  • Custom webhook and API integration for systems not in the standard connector library
  • Error handling and alerting setup for critical workflow failures
  • Workflow documentation so the internal team can manage and update automations

Why brands work with Shero on Alloy setup

Shero designs the workflow map before building anything so automations work reliably rather than breaking on edge cases.

01

Workflow architecture designed before any automation is built

Complex multi-system automations break when edge cases are not accounted for in the design. An order that has two line items from different suppliers, a subscription order that also includes a one-time add-on, or a return that triggers a warranty check each of these needs to be considered before the workflow is built. Shero maps all workflows and their edge cases before any Alloy automation is configured.

02

ERP and Shopify data sync through Alloy for brands not on a full iPaaS

Brands that need Shopify-to-ERP data flow but cannot justify a full Celigo or Patchworks implementation often use Alloy for specific, well-defined sync workflows. Shero builds ERP sync automations in Alloy for brands where the integration scope is defined and bounded rather than requiring a full iPaaS middleware layer. This connects to the broader ERP integration work Shero does for Shopify Plus brands.

03

Customer service automations across Gorgias, Klaviyo, and Shopify

Alloy connects Gorgias, Klaviyo, and Shopify into multi-step automation workflows: a refund processed in Shopify triggers a Klaviyo retention sequence and a Gorgias ticket close. A subscription pause in Recharge triggers a Klaviyo win-back flow and a Gorgias proactive outreach. Shero builds these multi-system CX automations in Alloy so the customer experience is consistent regardless of which system the event originated in.

04

Custom webhooks and API calls for systems not in Alloy's connector library

Alloy supports custom webhooks and API calls for tools not in its standard connector library. Shero builds custom connectors for any system in the brand's stack that Alloy does not natively support, extending the automation layer to cover the full technology stack rather than only the tools with pre-built connectors.

05

Error handling and monitoring so workflow failures are caught before they cause problems

Automation failures produce data inconsistencies: orders that did not notify the warehouse, customers who did not receive a confirmation, refunds that did not post to the ERP. Shero configures error handling and Slack alerting for every critical Alloy workflow so failures are caught immediately rather than discovered days later when the damage is already done.

06

Alloy versus MESA and Shopify Flow: when the enterprise tool is justified

Shopify Flow is free and handles basic if-then automation within the Shopify ecosystem. MESA connects Shopify to external tools from $12 per month and is the right choice for most brands needing cross-system automation. Alloy at $2,500 per month is right for enterprise brands with 10+ connected apps where complex multi-step workflows, one-minute polling, and dedicated support are required. Shero recommends MESA or Shopify Flow for most automation requirements and Alloy where enterprise scale genuinely justifies the investment.
