Your store stays in charge

A new storefront in front of the store you already run.
Connected live, nothing to migrate.

Your Shopify or BigCommerce store stays exactly where it is and keeps running the parts that matter: products, checkout, payments and orders. The WorkspaceCMS storefront sits in front of it and reads your catalog live, so shoppers browse a faster, better-designed site and then check out on the store you trust.

How does a WorkspaceCMS storefront connect to Shopify or BigCommerce?

A WorkspaceCMS store plan storefront is hosted on WorkspaceCMS and connected to the merchant's existing Shopify or BigCommerce store. It reads products, collections, prices and stock live, and shoppers browse, search and add to cart on the storefront before checking out on the store. Checkout, payments, shipping, taxes, customer accounts and order history stay in Shopify or BigCommerce, so nothing is migrated and the store's theme is not changed. Other platforms are eCommerce Enterprise.

Your catalog, read live

Products, collections, prices and stock levels come straight from your store. Add a product or change a price in Shopify or BigCommerce and the storefront shows it, with nothing to re-enter.

  • Products, collections, prices and stock

Checkout never moves

When a shopper checks out, they finish on your store's own checkout. Payments, shipping rates, taxes, customer accounts and order history stay where they are today.

Nothing is installed in your theme

We connect to your store, we do not work inside it. Your theme, apps and settings keep running untouched, which is why there is no migration and nothing for us to break.

  • Your current theme is left alone
  • Store apps, subscriptions and marketplaces keep working

Preguntas frecuentes

Questions about Live store connection

How does a WorkspaceCMS storefront connect to Shopify or BigCommerce?

A WorkspaceCMS store plan storefront is hosted on WorkspaceCMS and connected to the merchant's existing Shopify or BigCommerce store. It reads products, collections, prices and stock live, and shoppers browse, search and add to cart on the storefront before checking out on the store. Checkout, payments, shipping, taxes, customer accounts and order history stay in Shopify or BigCommerce, so nothing is migrated and the store's theme is not changed. Other platforms are eCommerce Enterprise.

Do I have to move my products to WorkspaceCMS?

No. Your catalog, customers and orders stay in Shopify or BigCommerce, and the storefront reads them from there.

Does WorkspaceCMS work with Magento, WooCommerce or a custom platform?

Not on the self-serve plans, which are Shopify and BigCommerce only. Other platforms are eCommerce Enterprise, from $1,999 a month and quoted after a call.

Will my Shopify or BigCommerce apps keep working?

Yes. Subscriptions, marketplaces, order emails and ERP or CRM syncs keep running in your store, because the storefront does not replace it.

Is this a headless storefront?

Yes, in practice. Your store runs the commerce back end and the WorkspaceCMS storefront is the front end shoppers see, with our team designing and managing it for you.

Where do shoppers check out?

On your Shopify or BigCommerce checkout, with your payment methods, shipping rates and taxes, exactly as today.

How quickly do price and stock changes show?

The storefront reads your catalog live, so changes you make in your store show on the storefront without anyone re-entering them.

What does WorkspaceCMS need access to?

Read access to your catalog so the storefront can show products, collections, prices and stock. Order access is optional and off unless you turn it on.

What happens to my current theme?

Nothing. It stays in your store as it is. The storefront is a separate site on WorkspaceCMS.

Does it work with Shopify Plus or BigCommerce Enterprise?

Yes. Larger Shopify Plus and BigCommerce Enterprise stores usually start on Scale, and their checkout, price lists and platform features stay in the store admin.

Who runs the store day to day?

You do, in your Shopify or BigCommerce admin. WorkspaceCMS designs, hosts and manages the storefront in front of it.

Do Shopify or BigCommerce fees come out of my plan?

No. Your platform subscription, apps and payment-processing fees are billed by those providers and paid by you.
