Hello! I am just about to migrate out of Shopify themes, amazing as they are, and create my own website using a different service. I created a Basic Buy Button, embedded that into the website. The behavior is that the button Adds To Cart, the cart is the overlay on the right which has a Checkout bu…

I have some good news for you all. Like you, I wanted to be able to design my own website while using Shopify checkout and was baffled that Shopify provided no way to point a domain to buy-button checkout. I spent hours chatting with Support about this, and heard many times that it’s simply “not a f…

I have a basic Shopify plan (not Lite). I imagine you’d need this too, since you point a domain to Shopify (and checkout) via the Online Store channel. Doesn’t seem like this would work with Lite.

@jakedoering Hi Jake, yes, sorry, I am on Basic too… so I think I have a slightly different case, I ONLY USE THE BUY BUTTON, that I embed in my third party domain / wordpress. If I follow your instruction and connect my domain with shopify, traffic will be forwarded to the storefront, which I dont…

As mentioned in my original post, I pointed a subdomain to Shopify that’s only used for checkout – i.e. “ checkout.yourdomain.com ”

Hi Jake I’ve been reading a thread where you mention you have managed to use a subdomain for the buy button URL instead of [shopURL].myshopify.com. Forgive my limited knowledge - did you set up your Basic Plan shopify store under the subdomain name of your own website? If so have you effectively th…

hi @Jameslmyers I’m not sure if this answers your question completely but I was able to remove my “Online Store” from the sales channels. You might have to customize the header / footer from your templates before doing that to prevent weird links from showing on the checkout page. Then my buy butto…

Hi @Jameslmyers , I don’t use Shopify to create a storefront. To reiterate, I have a custom-built website hosted elsewhere, with Shopify Buy Buttons embedded. I then created a subdomain through my domain provider (i.e. “ checkout.mycustomdomain.com ”) and integrated it via Shopify. If you were to g…

You are a life saver. Thank you so much for suffering through that so I didn’t have to. That works like a charm.

Hello! Happy to have found this thread. I still seem to be having issues and I know that is my fault. Having trouble with the sub domain and verifying connection between Shopify and Squarespace. Any tips? I know this is simple and I’m pulling my hair out the fact that I am missing it.

I’m so happy I came across this post! I’ve been battling this issue for too long and just recently though to search for “custom domain for checkout.” My problem is related to Google Analytics. I have the same setup in that our customer website is driven by WordPress and Buy Buttons and once the user…
