We have this same problem. I am trying to work out at the moment if this is solved by using Shopify +

We manage it by our product data being in our ERP, and use Shopify as a dumb front end. The marketing people still hate it though.

It isn’t, plus makes it marginally less painful, single login etc. It doesn’t add anything for multi currency.

We did raise this with the plus onboarding guys and they confirmed it was not possible.

Same here, in fact we go one further and built a headless store in front, along with a proxy for inventory because the stock API is so slow.

The original goal was to use pure Shopify. The end result is more like a glorified shopping cart and and fulfillment backend.

If we did it again I think we’d be better off building on a payment provider like Stripe.
