Can I Use Shopify if I Already Have a Website?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 3:03 am

Shopify is a platform that allows you to create an online store. It offers users with a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.

Shopify also has its own website builder that you can use to create a website for your store. However, if you already have a website, you can still use Shopify to power your online store.

PRO TIP: If you already have a website, you may be able to use Shopify to sell online, depending on your website’s platform. However, there are some things to keep in mind. First, if your website is not on a platform that Shopify integrates with (such as WordPress or Squarespace), you will need to rebuild your website on Shopify. Second, transferring your existing website to Shopify may cause issues with your current hosting provider, so be sure to check with them before making the switch. Finally, keep in mind that using Shopify will likely change the way your website looks and functions, so be prepared for some changes.

In order to use Shopify with your existing website, you will need to integrate it with your site. This can be done by adding a Shopify buy button to your website. Once added, your visitors will be able to purchase products from your Shopify store without ever leaving your site.

Adding a Shopify buy button to your website is a relatively simple process. First, you will need to create a Shopify account and then obtain an embed code for the button from the Shopify admin panel. Once you have the code, you can add it to your website wherever you want the button to appear.

While using Shopify with an existing website does require some effort on your part, it is still possible to do. By following the steps above, you can easily add Shopify functionality to your existing site and take advantage of all that Shopify has to offer.
