How To Run Shopify In WordPress (The Complete Guide) (Part II)
So, in the last blog you have seen who needs to use Shopify in WordPress, why they need to integrate Shopify in WordPress, and more importantly, how both works mutually. The Shopify and WordPress combination is a very inexpensive method to run your online store and still keep it fully secured. From the third step where we left in the previous blog, we have continued further here.
In case, you are looking to hire a professional designer to give an eye catchy look to your shopping site, let our Los Angeles web design company know about it. We will listen to your design expectations carefully and provide you with a gorgeous-looking web design.
4. Generate API Keys To Connect Shopify With WordPress
Since you want to display your Shopify products on your WordPress website, it is important to connect them with each other. In order to do that you will need to generate some Shopify API keys.
To generate the API keys I have discussed the process below:
First off, go to the Apps tab in Shopify and then click on Manage private apps. Once you have done that, you need to create a new private app. Then name the app you have created and start giving it various permissions.
Remember, you have to give your app Read and write permission for everything, leaving just the payment-related permission. Once you have done that, you need to select the latest Webhook API Version to generate the API keys to link your Shopify and WordPress website. Also remember to check the box to allow the app to access the data for your storefront.
Next, click on the Save button to display the API keys you have created. And then make another click on the message displaying on the screen to confirm your app creation.
After that, note down your API keys and store it somewhere because you will need them in further steps.
In case you have any doubts about the API key generation or permission granted to the app, connect with our web design company in Los Angeles.
5. Install The WP Shopify Plugin
Now the most important thing you need to do is install and activate the WP Shopify plugin on your WordPress website. As I have cleared it earlier that it is available in free and premium versions both, we have chosen the former option for this tutorial. However, you can also use its premium version for the job that’s priced at $80 for one year. In case you want to know what features you will get in the free version and what not, it’s better to visit its pricing page before making any purchase related decision.
Post the activation of this plugin, you need to head over WP Shopify > Connect. Here you have to enter your API details that you have created a couple of minutes before.
Be mindful, if you want to know the Storefront Access Token for your online store, it can be found at the bottom of the same page.
Once you have entered all the required information on the page, save the details and continue. As soon as you press the Save button, you will get a success message on your screen including the next steps that you need to perform.
Be informed that it is recommended to turn on the option to Create Product Detail Pages. Because when you do this, the plugin will create separate pages for every product on your WordPress website. This will allow you to rank those individual pages in Google and sell your products easily.
Here you need to remember one more thing that when you are creating individual pages for your products, you will also have to set the Product Link to your WordPress website using the drop-down menu:
And when you will go to the next page, you will get some basic layout options that you can configure.
After that you can also configure the working method of your cart or the checkout page. For example, if you want to send visitors directly to your Shopify site to check out their order, you can do that by skipping the shopping cart. You are offered all the options to make your decision.
6. Sync Your Shopify Products
In addition to all of the above, one more thing you need to bear in mind is that if you are building specific product pages for your items in the WordPress, you will have to manually sync them. For doing this you will have to head to WP Shopify > Tools and then press the Sync Detail Pages button.
Once you have done that, you will be able to see all of your Shopify products by going to WP Shopify > Products.
Note: When it comes to editing your product description, you can do that right from your WordPress dashboard. But you should refrain from doing that because it can be erased when you will sync the product details the next time. To avoid getting into such a situation you should make the changes to your products through your Shopify dashboard and then sync it again.
In case you want to beautify your individual product pages to tempt customers and boost sales, have a word with our web design company in Los Angeles.
7. Customize Your Store According To Your Will
Now that your Shopify store is integrated with WordPress, it’s time for your creativity to shine. You can change the layout of your store by going to WP Shopify > Settings and then experimenting with a bunch of additional options.
Now your Shopify-powered WordPress store is ready to go live on the internet and sell your products.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it! You have seen how to integrate Shopify with WordPress and sell your products with ease. While this WordPress-Shopify combination could not be the right choice for every store but it is the best for smaller ones. As I have told you before, the major reason for using Shopify with WordPress is that you get the opportunity to leverage the simplicity of Shopify and flexibility of WordPress. In short, you will get the best of both worlds - WordPress will handle the frontend and Shopify will take care of the backend. What’s more, you need to pay just $9 per month to get a Shopify Lite plan and in turn they will also fulfill the security and maintenance requirements of your website. Isn’t that enough to run your e-store effortlessly?
