Examples of real stores using WP Shopify

Common questions

How does this all work?

You can think of WordPress as the frontend and Shopify as the backend. You still manage your store (add products, change prices, etc) from within Shopify and those changes automatically sync with WordPress. WP Shopify also allows you to sell your products on WordPress and is bundled with its own cart experience.

After installing the plugin you can connect your Shopify store to WordPress by filling in a few form fields containing your Shopify API keys. View our tutorial video here.

After syncing, you can display / sell your products in various ways such as:

1. Using the default pages “yourwordpresspage.com/products” and “yourwordpresspage.com/collections“
2. Shortcodes [wps_products] and [wps_collections]
3. Programmatically through the plugin’s Render API

You can also optionally create product and collection single pages by syncing your store. This enables you to harness the full power of the vast WordPress plugin ecosystem.

Do you have any example sites?

Absolutely! View the sites currently using WP Shopify.

Can I try the plugin before I purchase?

Definitely. We have a free version of WP Shopify that you can download here. If you have any questions about the plugin, please ask us!

Do you need a Shopify plan to use this plugin?

Yes you need a Shopify store before using this plugin.

However you can use the cheaper $9 Lite plan as well. In fact, this is our recommended Shopify plan if you intend to only sell on WordPress. All of our plugin features will work with Shopify Lite. This is a great option if want to save money.

If you’re not ready yet, Shopify also provides a free 14 day free trial.

Do you have to be a developer to use this?

You do not! Everything will work out of the box. However, if you wish to do medium to large customizations then you’ll need to know basic CSS and PHP.

Does this install Shopify functionality into WordPress?

WP Shopify will not sync over any custom functionality that you may be using via Shopify apps. An integration with these apps is something we’re looking into for a future update.

The plugin does provide a built-in cart experience and will send users to the default Shopify checkout page during checkout.

Is this SEO friendly?

We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that we’ve conformed to all SEO best practices including: semantic alt text, Structured Data, and indexable content.

How does the checkout process work?

WP Shopify does not handle any portion of the Shopify checkout process. When a customer clicks the checkout button within the cart, they’re redirected to the default Shopify checkout page to finish the process.
