Is it possible to host a WebGL game on Shopify?

Topic summary

Hosting a WebGL game directly on Shopify, instead of embedding it from a third-party host like simmer.io via an iframe, was the core question.

  • The original request was clarified several times: the goal was not Shopify’s Unity commerce SDK, but uploading the game files themselves to Shopify and displaying the game within a page.
  • Early replies pointed to Unity Buy / Shopify SDK resources, but these were not relevant to the actual hosting question.

A later response provided the most practical path:

  • inspect the existing game page source,
  • identify and save the required JavaScript and related files,
  • upload those files into Shopify theme assets,
  • create a page template, and
  • reference the uploaded assets through Liquid (asset_url, Shopify’s theme file URL helper).

The same response noted this would require experimentation, and that the more typical approach is to host WebGL on a separate server and include it in Shopify. No definitive Shopify-native solution was confirmed; the discussion ended with a tentative workaround and the recommendation that external hosting is usually easier.
