Why Use Shopify with WordPress?

WordPress is a powerful cms that gives you incredible control over your website design. But when it comes to e-commerce, things get complicated.

WooCommerce is heavy, requires maintenance, and slows down the site.

The traditional approach—migrating everything to a new platform or building complex integrations—takes weeks and creates maintenance headaches. There's a better way.

Common WooCommerce Limitations:

  • ×WooCommerce significantly slows down WordPress sites
  • ×Requires constant plugin updates and security patches
  • ×Hosting costs increase with traffic and products
  • ×Payment gateway setup can be complex

PopupShop lets you embed your entire Shopify store on your WordPress site as a beautiful, floating widget. Visitors can browse products, add to cart, and checkout—all without leaving your page.

The integration uses WordPress's Custom HTML Widget or Gutenberg Block feature, so you don't need any coding knowledge. Just copy, paste, and start selling.

Why PopupShop + WordPress Works:

  • Zero WordPress plugin conflicts
  • Shopify handles all security and PCI compliance
