Shopify Lite
As demand for e-commerce continues to grow, we are pleased to now be offering a Shopify Lite integration for WordPress websites. This is a perfect option for clients who already have their own WordPress website and want to add e-commerce functionality, or are wanting an e-commerce site without the design and functional limitations of Shopify. It is also a great option for merchants who want to sell their products or services in person.
With Shopify Lite, clients now have the option to access all Shopify’s powerful features with the enhanced customer experience of a WordPress website. Shopify Lite includes a Buy Button and a Shopify POS Lite sales channel, which allows merchants to add the shopping cart function easily to their WordPress website.
Shopify Lite is the most affordable of all the Shopify plans, at $9 USD/month. It allows for unlimited products and collections (i.e., product categories), discount codes, gift cards and more.
Let’s delve into the main features:
Buy Button:
- Allows you to embed individual products onto any page of a website
- Allows you to embed collections onto any page of a website
- There are at least three different styles for each type of embed, and different options for interactions with the cart

GMD E-Commerce Support Plan
To support the success of our e-commerce clients, we are now offering a monthly e-com support plan. For $88 per month, clients can receive up to one hour of support which could include changes to website content, product updates, or additional Shopify training. We especially recommend this plan for e-commerce clients who are inexperienced with e-commerce and require support in the early months of running e-commerce.
Similarly to our Website Hosting & Maintenance plans, the hour must be used in its allocated month and cannot be accrued if unused.
Clients with a GMD WordPress website with Shopify Lite integration will have the option of being on our standard Hosting & Maintenance plan.
