WordPress Shopify integration, built around the site you already have.

Yes, in three ways. WordPress can stay your main site while the Shopify store sits on its own address, such as shop.yourname.com. Shopify products and buy buttons can be placed inside your WordPress pages, with payment on Shopify's checkout. Or your WordPress pages and posts can be moved into Shopify. Shopify's help center documents the first two, and its migration guide covers the third.

Shopify's own route has three steps. Install and activate the Shopify plugin in WordPress. Install the Sell on WordPress sales channel in your Shopify admin. Then copy the Shopify access token from the sales channel and paste it into the plugin's settings in WordPress. After that, products and collections are added to pages as blocks in the WordPress editor.

No. They are separate products from separate companies. WordPress is open-source software for publishing a website. Shopify is a hosted platform for running a store. Shopify's own page for its WordPress plugin says the plugin is built by Shopify and is not associated with WordPress.

They do different jobs, and they can run together. WordPress is built for publishing pages and articles. Shopify is built for selling: products, a cart, a checkout and orders. If most of your visitors arrive through articles, keep WordPress and add Shopify. If the store is the whole business, one Shopify site is simpler to run.

No. WooCommerce is the store plugin for WordPress, with more than 7 million active installations on WordPress.org as listed on 8 Oct 2026. If Shopify holds your products and takes payment, WooCommerce has no job left. Running both means two product lists and two stock counts to keep in step.

For a store on its own address, you add one DNS record at the company where you bought your domain. Shopify's guide says to create a CNAME record for the subdomain, for example shop, and point it to shops.myshopify.com. Then you connect the subdomain under Settings, Domains in your Shopify admin. Shopify says its check of the records can take a few minutes.

Yes. That is the first setup on this page. The blog stays on WordPress at the addresses Google already knows, and the store runs on Shopify at its own address. Nothing on the blog has to be redirected. The work is in matching the design on both sides and in tracking visitors across the two, so a sale is credited to the article that led to it.

Yes. Shopify publishes a WordPress plugin and a matching sales channel called Sell on WordPress. The Shopify App Store lists the channel as free and launched on September 15, 2025. As listed on 8 Oct 2026 it had 4 reviews and a rating of 1.7 out of 5, so we test it on a copy of your site before it goes live.

From Shopify. Its help center links to a zip file on Shopify's own servers, which you upload on the Plugins page in WordPress. Be careful with names. The plugin at wordpress.org/plugins/shopify is a different one, called Shopify Importer and last updated 12 years ago. On 8 Oct 2026 the WordPress.org address given on Shopify's developer page led to a search results page.

Shopify lists WordPress 5.0 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher. It also needs the Block Editor, known as Gutenberg, and the Site Editor. The Classic Editor is not supported. Shopify's developer page says the plugin is officially supported with the default block themes Twenty Twenty-Three, Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five, and that other themes may need customization.

Create the button in the Buy Button sales channel in Shopify and copy its embed code. In WordPress, open the page or post, add a Custom HTML block and paste the code in. Shopify says embedded Buy Buttons work with self-hosted WordPress.org sites and with certain plans offered by WordPress.com.

Shopify says the Buy Button sales channel is included in all Shopify subscription plans, and the Shopify App Store lists it as free. You still pay for the Shopify plan itself. As listed on 8 Oct 2026 the channel was rated 3.8 out of 5 from 194 reviews.

On Shopify. With a Buy Button you choose what a click does: add the product to a cart, go straight to checkout, or open the product details. You can also choose whether checkout opens in a new browser window. With Shopify's plugin, a theme called Sell on WordPress, installed in your Shopify admin, decides whether the buyer is sent to your WordPress site or to your Shopify storefront once they have paid.

Yes. Shopify's help center says that changes to products and collections in your Shopify admin, such as prices, images, descriptions or availability, sync automatically with your WordPress site when you use its plugin. For Buy Buttons, Shopify says any update to a product's details shows on that product's button.

Yes, with code. Shopify's plugin draws four parts: a product card, a quick view pop-up, a product detail page and a collection grid. Each can be replaced by adding a PHP file to a folder named Shopify inside your WordPress theme. Shopify labels this an advanced tutorial and suggests hiring a Shopify Partner. FactoryJet is a registered Shopify Partner, and this is work we do.

Start with Shopify's own plugin, because Shopify supports it and it costs nothing to try. It is new, so test it on a copy of your site first. Read any third-party plugin's listing before you install it. ShopWP's WordPress.org listing, for example, says its free version would stop working on March 1, 2024 and points users to a paid version.

When WordPress stays as the main site, yes. A subdomain such as shop.yourname.com is the arrangement Shopify's help center describes for running a store beside another website on the same root domain. Running one site inside a folder of the other, such as yourname.com/shop, is not covered in that guide. It needs a proxy in front of both sites, which we scope as custom work.

Yes. Shopify's migration guide says blogs and pages can be moved in bulk with a migration app or through its Blog and Page APIs, and products by CSV file or app. Web addresses change in the move, so each old address needs a redirect to its new one. Our WordPress to Shopify migration page covers that project in full.

Redirects are what protect them. Google's site move guidance says 301 and other permanent redirects do not cause a loss in PageRank, and that redirects should be kept for at least a year. It also warns that pointing many old pages at one unrelated page, such as the home page, can be treated as a soft 404, which means Google reads the page as missing.

Then moving to Shopify is a store-to-store move. Shopify publishes a WooCommerce migration guide that covers products, customers and order history. It notes that Shopify allows 3 product options, so a product with more than 3 needs an app or extra fields. Shopify's own Store Migration app is in early access and available to certain stores only.

It depends on the setup. Shopify's plugin and its Buy Button channel are both listed as free on the Shopify App Store, and you pay for a Shopify plan. For build work, Shopify developers in the US and Canada typically charge $120 to $200 an hour, according to CartCoders' 2026 rate guide. FactoryJet quotes a fixed price in writing after a short scoping call.

The join itself is quick. A subdomain is one DNS record, and Shopify says its check can take a few minutes. Connecting Shopify's plugin is a token pasted into a settings page. The time goes into what surrounds it: matching the design on both sides, testing checkout, and moving content if you choose the third setup. The timeline goes in writing with the quote.

Yes. FactoryJet builds on both. One team handles the WordPress theme, the Shopify store and the join between them, so nothing falls between two vendors.

Yes. Before a contract, we show working software on your own data. For this kind of project that means one of your own products shown on a copy of your WordPress page, with a test checkout you can click through.

Any business with a WordPress site and something to sell: publishers, studios and clinics, makers and manufacturers, nonprofits, schools and clubs. FactoryJet was founded in 2014 and has served more than 500 businesses.

No. FactoryJet is a registered Shopify Partner, without a Plus Partner tier. We do the engineering work itself. If your procurement team requires a Plus Partner badge, tell us on the first call.
