Can I integrate a Shopify shopping cart with my Webflow-hosted website?

TL;DR
  • Add Shopify’s Buy Button sales channel, generate embed code for individual products or collections.
  • Insert the embed code in Webflow using the Embed element; cart and checkout are handled by Shopify externally.

You can integrate a Shopify shopping cart with a Webflow site using Shopify’s embed tools, but it comes with limitations. This method is most effective for small stores or individual product embeds.

1. Use Shopify’s Buy Button Sales Channel

  • Log in to your Shopify dashboard and go to Sales Channels.
  • Click “+” next to Sales Channels and add Buy Button.
  • Create a Buy Button for a product or collection, and Shopify will generate an embed code.

2. Embed the Buy Button in Webflow

  • In Webflow, go to the designer and select the page where you want to insert the product.
  • Add an Embed element from the Add panel.
  • Paste the embed code generated from Shopify’s Buy Button.
  • Publish your site to see it live.

3. Shopping Cart Behavior

  • The Buy Button embed includes a Shopify-managed shopping cart overlay.
  • The cart lives on Shopify's side, not within Webflow. It's handled via a floating modal that appears when items are added.
  • All checkout processes occur on Shopify, not within your Webflow domain.

4. Styling & Limitations

  • Customization is limited to Shopify’s Buy Button settings panel (color, layout, etc.).
  • You can’t create a full-fledged storefront in Webflow using Shopify without custom development.
  • For dynamic product content, you'd need to manually update product embeds or use third-party automation tools like Zapier or Integromat.

Summary

You can embed Shopify Buy Buttons on your Webflow site to display products and accept purchases via Shopify’s cart and checkout. However, this solution is best for simple stores and limited product counts; advanced commerce features would require building the store natively in Shopify or using Webflow’s built-in ecommerce.
