So it is impossible to resist somehow integrating Shopify with this site.
I don’t frankly, have the time to run a whole new store.
But there is a way, I think, that I can combine the best of both worlds and add a few products here via Shopify without over-stretching and yet learning something new.
Shopify Lite. $9 and you can sell on a WordPress site like this or on Facebook. God forbid. I’m not ready to go through that hell again frankly.
For now, I’m going to satisfy the urge just to try to create a buy button. Which frankly you could do using Paypal for free if you signed up for a dropshipping account even outside Shopify.
But I digress.
I’m going to try to harness Shopify Power and see just what $9 of Shopify Power will get me.
First thing, they make it hella scary to delete the sales channel and go with the teeny tiny foot note to enable Shopify Lite. It’s kinda like knowing a secret to know to use it because it looks like you disable Shopify period when you go this route. There’s not even an option to choose it as a plan. It’s a non-plan.
This is a non-site. So that’s perfect.
Ok. Done. I’m then off to enable a drop shipper. Done.
Created a sticker. Cool. First product. Now where is that buy button? Where is the html?
Well, first, you have to go to sales channels and enable a point of sale sales channel. BUT you actually have to scroll down to find the specific sales channel simply called, wait for it, “Buy Button.”
Then, then you can find the means to set up the elusive Buy button.
Then you have to set up your Shopify Payments. Basically you have to give tax info. and banking info. so you can get paid.
