Confused about PageFly versus my Shopify theme

Shopify Discussion
1

Hello,

My Shopify site is just a few months old and I’m super frustrated. I am getting traffic to my site but it’s not converting. I was looking at PageFly and other apps to create a landing page with an offer, but I’m confused by these apps. Do I create new pages with the app and then hide my Shopify theme pages? Why wouldn’t I have just built the site with an app instead of using a Shopify theme if it doesn’t have the features that an app provides?

This is all very new to me and I appreciate any advice to help me figure out what I need to do.

Thank you!

Hi @anniepmm ,

I understand your confusion surrounding PageFly and Shopify themes. I am Garcia from PageFly and I hope my detailed information here will help you what to do.

PageFly is a page builder app which provides a drag-and-drop interface that allows you to easily customize your landing pages, product pages, and other content. It offers more flexibility and control over the design and layout compared to the limitations of Shopify themes. PageFly offers a range of conversion-focused elements and features, such as countdown timers, call-to-action buttons, Slideshow, …

However, you still need to use Shopify themes as Shopify themes come with essential e-commerce functionalities out of the box, such as shopping cart, checkout process, customizing header, footer,…

Hello Garcia,

Thank you for this information. It definitely helps me understand a bit better. How do most businesses use PageFly? Do they rebuild their entire site with PageFly or do they use it more for the conversion tools?

Please advise.

Thank you!

Good day to you Anne @anniepmm , I am glad that my explanation help you a bit.
For your concern, It will depend on the desired level of customization they want:

  1. Enhancing Specific Pages:
    If you have an established website built on a Shopify theme. In this case, they use PageFly to enhance specific pages. You can add PageFly section into Shopify theme easily by drag and drop features. For example you have a landing built by theme but want to add a section contain countdown timer, promo slogan…, you can create it on PageFly then add to theme section later.

  2. Building Custom Pages:
    Some businesses choose to build their entire site using PageFly. This approach gives them complete control over the design, layout, and functionality of every page. For example: They can create unique mobile and desktop views, implement different layouts for each product, and truly customize every aspect of their site.

Please let me know if you have any questions or reach to our 24/7 support team.
Cheers!
