Topic summary

A user wants to display products on Shopify but redirect customers to an external site for payment processing and management.

Solution Provided:

  • Shopify doesn’t natively support external checkout redirection due to security and compliance requirements
  • Workaround involves replacing default “Add to Cart” buttons with custom HTML links pointing to the external payment site
  • Requires disabling Shopify’s checkout by hiding the cart functionality

Important Limitations:

  • This approach bypasses Shopify’s order tracking system
  • May negatively impact user experience and store credibility
  • Requires thorough testing before implementation

Hello,

I want to list my items in Shopify and would like to redirect the my shopify to another site when customers trying to purchase. Because I would like to manage payment systems on another site. Example, The item will be placed in shopify store but the payment page will be redirect to another site . Is that possible??

Shopify does not support external checkout redirection by default, as it requires all payments to go through its integrated checkout for security and compliance reasons. However, a workaround is possible: instead of using Shopify’s “Add to Cart” or “Buy Now” buttons, you can create custom product buttons using HTML that link directly to your external payment site (e.g., PayPal, Stripe, or another store). Disable Shopify checkout by hiding the cart and replacing buttons with external links. Note that this limits Shopify’s order tracking and may affect your store’s user experience and credibility. Use with caution and test thoroughly.

Kindly DM if the solution is not clear enough
