What is the Shopify checkout, and can I design it in Webflow?

The pages where the customer pays, hosted by Shopify on a sub-domain of your store such as store.example.com; you style it in Shopify's checkout editor, not in Webflow, and deeper changes need Shopify Plus.

When the customer leaves the cart, they go to Shopify’s checkout: the pages for the address, the shipping method and the payment, then the thank-you page. It is hosted by Shopify, and it is where taxes, shipping costs and payments are worked out.

What you can change:

  • its look, in Shopify under Settings › Checkout: logo, colors, fonts and images;
  • its address: a sub-domain of your domain, such as store.example.com, connected to Shopify;
  • the ways to pay: Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, set in Settings › Payments.

Apps can add blocks to the thank-you and order status pages on every plan. Adding blocks inside the checkout steps themselves needs Shopify Plus.

In Webflow terms

The checkout is the one part of the store you do not design in Webflow. That is what makes a Smootify store a Shopify store: payments, fraud checks, taxes and orders are Shopify’s, as on any Shopify site.

In Smootify

The cart’s checkout button sends the cart to Shopify’s checkout, with everything it holds. Your main domain goes to Webflow, and the sub-domain to Shopify:

www.example.com
