My current website has online sales capability that is not currently being used. Could we incorporate shopify into our current website.
Topic summary
A user asks whether Shopify can be integrated into their existing website, which currently has unused online sales functionality.
Solution Provided:
Shopify offers multiple integration options for existing websites:
- Buy Buttons - embeddable product purchase widgets
- Cart Permalinks - direct links to checkout
Additional Recommendations:
- Test with Shopify’s Starter plan ($5/month) if a full new website isn’t needed
- Connect with a Shopify Partner to access a free (but limited) development store for exploration
- Review development store features and limitations before committing
The response includes direct links to Shopify’s documentation for buy button implementation and cart permalink setup. This approach allows adding e-commerce functionality without rebuilding the entire existing website.
Hi @balmashie shopify has multiple avenues for adding ecommerce to other websites.
The most straightforward is buy buttons ,or cart-permalinks
