How does ShopWP work exactly?
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 will automatically sync with WordPress.

Use your WordPress site as another channel to sell on.

ShopWP comes built with its own cart experience out of the box. Zero configuration needed.

After installing, you can connect your Shopify store to WordPress by going through our easy wizard process to guide you along. View our tutorial video here.

After connecting your store, you can sync your products (and collections) into WordPress—creating product detail pages.

Or simply display your products in various ways such as:

Does ShopWP install Shopify functionality into WordPress?
ShopWP does not install the same functionality from inside your Shopify app into WordPress. ShopWP will not sync over any custom functionality that you may be using via Shopify apps. We do provide integrations with some apps, but not all.The plugin does provide a built-in cart experience and will send users to the default Shopify checkout page during checkout. So any apps you have installed that customize the checkout page should continue to work with ShopWP. ShopWP will also not sync the "theme" of your Shopify online sales channel into WordPress.

Is ShopWP optimized for SEO?
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. Since ShopWP is built in WordPress, it inherits all the great SEO features of WordPress itself and will integrate nicely with SEO plugins like Yoast.

Do I need an active Shopify plan to use ShopWP?
Yes you'll need a Shopify store before using ShopWP. However, you can use the cheaper $5/month Shopify Starter plan as well. In fact, this is our recommended Shopify plan if you intend to sell only on WordPress. All of our plugin features will work with this plan and it's a great option save some money.

Do you have to be a developer to use ShopWP?
No! Everything works out of the box with hardly any customizations required. The ShopWP cart experience is built to "just work" as soon as you install the plugin. You also get two default pages for showing your products and collections that are preconfigured to work. With that said, if you wish to do medium to large customizations then you’ll need to know basic CSS, JavaScript and PHP.

How does the checkout process work?

ShopWP does not handle any portion of the checkout process. Instead, we send users to the default Shopify checkout page for the final shipping and billing steps.

For example, when a customer clicks the "Begin checkout" button inside the ShopWP cart they're redirected to the default Shopify checkout page to enter their billing info.

While we can understand the temptation to use WordPress for checkout, here’s a few reasons why we suggest you avoid that path:

  1. Shopify has battle tested their checkout page. It’s extremely secure and you don’t need to worry about anything breaking during this crucial step for your customers. If you build a custom solution, or rely on a third-party plugin, you’re definitely taking a risk here.
  2. The Shopify checkout page converts very well.
  3. Using the default Shopify checkout page lets you use any of the Shopify apps that customize the checkout pages.
