How to Start selling Shopify products on WordPress

Common questions

I'm confused. 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 automatically sync with WordPress. ShopWP 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
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.

Does ShopWP install Shopify functionality into WordPress?

Generally speaking, ShopWP will not install the same functionality you have inside your Shopify onto WordPress. ShopWP 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.

How does the checkout process work?

ShopWP 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.
