Linking an External Website and Redirecting Users to Checkout on Original Website

Hi everybody!

How do you link an external website and redirect the user back to my website for checkout? We have to do this due to some compliance needs that have to be met on certain products that are listed.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you so much in advance,

Yani

Hello Yani,

It sounds like what you’re describing is the use of a “Buy Button” which is one of Shopify’s sales channels.

The Buy Button enables you to create an embedded buy option for an external website, which links directly to your Shopify checkout.

You can view the steps for creating a buy button for a single product or a collection in our Help Center here: Buy Button · Shopify Help Center.

I hope that helps! Let me know if I can clarify anything for you or if I missed the mark on what you’re needing.

Hi Ren,

Thank you so much for your reply! After getting some clarification from my client, she says that she would like a verification pop up when a customer wants to purchase specific products. Does Shopify have built-in options/templates that we can choose from or do we have to install a widget? Or can we build our own customized widget? What do Shopify users usually use?

Hi again,

All of these are definitely doable via either a 3rd party app from our app store, or by having one custom designed by a developer.

It will all depend on your client’s needs and what features you’re looking for as far as the pop-up. Is this an age-verification? Here are some options for age-verification and ID verification pop-up apps.

If your client is requiring something more custom or specific, you can reach out to one of our Shopify Experts and work with a developer to create your custom widget. You can browse our Shopify Experts here in our marketplace.

If there is anything else I can assist with, just let me know!

Thank you so much Ren,

Would the Shopify experts be an additional fee?
