How to Get Started with ShopWP Shopify Layout Builder
To get started with ShopWP Shopify Layout Builder, you will first need ShopWP Pro 8.0 or greater.
Once you have purchased one of the two pro versions, follow these steps:
1. Connect WordPress to Shopify
To start, you will need to install the ShopWP plugin on your WordPress site.
Once installed, you can connect WordPress to Shopify by navigating to ShopWP → Connect and clicking the button.
Provide your Shopify store URL when prompted.
If you haven’t already, you will be asked to install the ShopWP app on your Shopify store.
Once completed, you will be redirected to the plugin’s settings with a confirmation that your store has been successfully connected.
From there, you can customize your store listing pages and choose whether to link products to Shopify or display them on your WordPress site.
Additionally, you have the option to show a fixed cart tab and customize how the checkout page opens.
2. Sync Shopify Products To WordPress
After connecting your store, the next step is to synchronize your Shopify products with WordPress. You have the option to sync all of your products or select specific ones to add to WordPress.
ShopWP offers two syncing options:
- One-time Sync: You can manually sync product details whenever necessary.
- Auto Sync: ShopWP will automatically sync product details based on an interval that you control. For instance, if you make changes to a product in Shopify, those modifications will be automatically synced to WordPress without any manual effort.
To access these options, navigate to ShopWP > Sync.
To control the sync settings, go to ShopWP > Settings > Syncing.
Here, you can choose the products to sync and the amount of product information to include. Once the sync is complete, you can view the synced products under ShopWP > Products.
To use the ShopWP Layout Builder, you need to connect your Shopify store and have at least one product synced before you can use it.
Although one product is sufficient, having multiple products can make the process easier.

Two types of layout types come pre-built – Product Detail Page (PDP) and Product Listing Page (PLP).
