Free shopping plugin
WP Shopify is a free, reliable solution for displaying and selling products on any WordPress site. It will turn your WordPress site into a user-focused and friendly storefront. It integrates Shopify capabilities on the backend of your site as a WordPress plugin. It’s regularly updated by the development team and has over 6,000 active installations.
If you have a successful blog and consider selling merch, this plugin is a single installation encompassing solution. The plugin requires no code writing unless you’re a developer who wants to build out a programmatic product display. Load times are quick, and the plugin is SEO optimized as well. WP Shopify directly competes with WooComerce’s more expensive plans.
Building a storefront
After installation and activation, users should navigate to Shopify to manage private apps tab and sync the two sites. Then, go ahead and name the app and provide an email linked to the WordPress site.
From there, you need to change the permission of the API credentials to read and write, except for payments, balance and payments, payment disputes, bank accounts, and payment settings. Change locations, GDPR, and analytics to read access. Be sure the API version is set to the latest one. After that, you can copy and paste your API keys into the WP Shopify plugin.
WP Shopify provides its users with layout templates and themes. They also offer shortcodes for further customization, all without the use of any iframes. Displaying your products or services is very intuitive, and the developers provide three distinct display functions. We encourage anyone who’s interested to watch the overview video.
Pro version
First off, we love that the Pro version offers live support. The Pro plugin additionally provides more templates, order and customer data, automatic syncing and more. The developers are so confident you will like their product that they offer 20% off if you complete a survey.
Showing off your goods
WP Shopify is where the easy-to-use shortcodes come into play. Users can display products via default pages in single item products or collections. Second, you can render API for users who want to build out a programmatic display for your products.
Third, users can fully customize the product image layout, zoom capability, and even ad cart notes. The cart experience is integrated into the plugin. These features and more are all available on the free plugin.
