You’ve probably heard about Shopify before but have you ever thought about integrating it with WordPress? It’s not as hard as you might think. In this article, we’ll show you how easy it is to integrate Shopify with WordPress.

Integrating Shopify with WordPress is easier than you might think. We’ll walk through the process step by step so that you can start selling on both platforms at once.

Install the Shopify App.

To begin, install the Shopify app on your computer. Once installed, log into your account and click “Apps” in the top right corner. Click “Add New App” and search for “Shopify” in the search bar. Choose "Install App" and adhere to the directions.

Create an Account.

Now that you’re logged into your Shopify account, go back to your dashboard by clicking “Dashboard” in the top left corner. Select "Shopify's API" from the list of apps under "My Apps" on the left side of the screen. This will take you to the Shopify API settings page where you can configure your integration.

Set up your store and Connect your store with WordPress

Once you’ve set up your store, you’ll need to install the Shopify app on your website. To do so, navigate to your site’s admin area (usually located at http://yoursite.com/wp-admin) and then click “Apps” in the menu bar. Click “Install App” and search for “Shopify”. Install the app and activate it.

Shopify has an app called Shopify Plus which can be connected to WordPress. This app can be used for two different purposes:
1) To manage your store from WordPress
2) To get data from your store into WordPress

Add products.

Now that you’ve installed the app, you’re ready to add products to your store. Navigate to the Products tab in the left sidebar and click “Add Product”. Fill out the form and select the product type you want to sell. Then click “Save & Continue”.

Shopify WordPress Integration

ShopifyWordpressIntegration

As the Shopify and WordPress communities become more aware of each other, we see a higher demand to integrate Shopify into WordPress.

The Shopify community has been around for over four years and has an estimated user base of 100,000 shop owners (including large companies such as dell computers - http://themeforest.net/item/avada-responsive-multipurpose-theme/2833226). That's a lot of potential customers for your shop!

Shopify 2.0 Integration with Webhooks

With the release of Shopify 2.0, integration became much easier with their new webhooks feature, which allows you to create custom integrations with Shopify through webhooks. Webhooks essentially push data from one website to another in real-time (http://shopify.github.io/webhooks). Shopify also offers an easy-to-use shop API that allows you to shop Shopify stores in a matter of minutes.

WordPress, however, is the choice of over 20% of web users and has an estimated user base of between 60-70 million monthly unique users (https://wordpress.org/about/). It's widely known as the #1 free website content management system on the market right now, so it's no wonder why Shopify shop owners are looking for ways to integrate their store into WordPress blogs and websites just like every other business out. There!

Reasons for Shopify WordPress Integration

There are many reasons why someone would want to integrate Shopify into WordPress, but here are a few of the most common reasons:

1. Shopify shop owners want to blog about their store

2. Shopify shop owners want to share product updates, features, etc. on WordPress websites

3. Shopify shop owners need a way for customers to contact them from within WordPress blogs or websites

4. WordPress designers and developers who use Shopify as a base theme would like their work showcased in WordPress blogs and websites without having to pay hosting fees (Shopify is free for up to 14,000 visitors per month). They could also install WordPress plugins such as Woo commerce to start selling their masterpieces on websites!

WordPress and Shopify Costs

Shopify is entirely free. Shopify does, however, charge $14 per month for shop owners who want more than 14,000 visitors on their shopper month, along with other additional features such as inventory management and abandoned cart recovery. If you look at the Shopify pricing page, you'll notice that shop owners can use Shopify for free until they grow to 9,000 monthly visitors or more, so this would be considered mid-range pricing.

WordPress has two versions available: The personal plan, which costs $4 per month, and the business plan, which costs $5 per month. WordPress also offers the enterprise plan, which is $25 per month and used to scale large Shopify projects.

Shopify Features

Shopify has a ton of features that are available for shop owners to use; Shopify shop owners can use Shopify product reviews, Shopify shop owners can use Shopify product and attribute variation, Shopify shop owners can use Shopify product bundling. And Shopify shop owners can use Shopify product tagging.
