WoW. Could sb remember me why should I use Shopify instead of integrated ecommerce functionalities in Webflow? 🟩 🟦

For anyone interested, here is a brief guide (3 short videos) on how to create a Shopify Store entirely in Webflow using this Relume Library in just a few minutes (not days!). https://youtu.be/uN3eOGVWOlk?si=eSpoiA0bcrk1rZ7J

Hey Dan Kaleb J. Adam M., how does Smootify compare with Shopiflow? We’ve quoted Shopiflow into a project and will be kicking off work on that part of it soon, just wondering if Smootify might be a better choice!

It's funny this has just come up - I'm currently carrying out a technical review and I had mentioned to my client shopify > smootify > webflow. I've set a member of my team the task of looking at the connection, it's very interesting. My main concern is using a third party on such a cornerstone functionality and the risk involved, this partnership does make me feel a bit better, however I'd be interested to know your opinion on them and their team Dan, given you've decided to partner up. Are they established? Are they in it for the long haul?

Aaron K. to be fair the boys above, this was probably more a question for Smootify than Relume — gonna dive into it over there.
Tim D.

Definitely got me excited though. Shopify + Webflow is going to be massive.

Thanks for the feedback! So from our end, this is a community library which is owned by Smootify. This means all the components were created by their team! Cc Tullio

Tim D. Aaron K. While I'm not familiar with the specifics of Shopiflow, I know it's a tool similar to ours. Our team at Udesly, a project with over 25K users since its inception in 2018, has extensive experience in integrating third-party software with Webflow. Shopify's recent updates prompted us to develop a new Shopify tool that's more powerful and user-friendly. We chose Relume for building our components (thanks to Dan 's unwavering support), and we employ Client-First principles in creating our free templates and UI elements. We also offer a range of premium add-ons for advanced functionalities. So, I can say that these are the key differentiators: Relume Components: Leverage the power of Relume for building robust and customizable components. Client-First Approach: Our templates and UI elements are built with a Client-First approach, ensuring a seamless user experience. Premium Add-ons: a suite of premium add-ons for advanced functionalities. There is important upcoming news too. The official Smootify app will soon be available on the Shopify App Store, offering complete server-side synchronization and new server add-ons (reviews, wishlist, Shopify newsletter integration, product files upload and much more). All Smootify features (current and upcoming) will be fully customizable with Webflow & Relume.

Tullio Looks great, Is there a complimenting Figma ui-kit in the pipeline as well?

My very own portfolio website uses some Relume components! I absolutely love what you guys are doing 😍 www.anast.art

Salman C. Our library is built with native Relume elements, preserving their original styling. To integrate them seamlessly into our system, we've simply added DOM elements or custom attributes to make them fully compatible with Shopify. Since a Figma version of Relume components already exists, we deemed it unnecessary to create another one. However, for upcoming advanced features like review systems and wishlists, we may introduce a Figma UI Kit encompassing all our components.

Hi Tullio, just wondering about CMS-syncing — I can see there is a desktop app, just wondering how far away “CMS Auto Sync Plan” is?
Tullio
·
Tim D. The official Shopify App (with CMS Server Plan included) is being reviewed by the Shopify App Store Team and should be available in the next few days.

Very cool! Dan doesn't this mean paying a lot more per month though? (webflow + shopify + smootify)?
Dan
·
Hey Sara M. it really depends on if you've closed a Shopify project with a client IMO
Tullio
·
Tim D., just an update about your question! Our app has been approved and is now listed on the official Shopify App Store. This means you can finally use the functionality to sync your Webflow CMS with Shopify using our server-side functionality (available with the new Server Plan). https://apps.shopify.com/smootify

Sara M. great question! Consider that the first Webflow Ecommerce Plan with 0% transaction fee is the Plus Plan ($74 - billed yearly). To run a fully functional Shopify store with Smootify you need:
1.
Shopify Basic Plan ($29/month - billed yearly)
2.
Webflow CMS Plan ($23/month - billed yearly)
3.
Smootify Lite Plan ($9/month - billed yearly)
Total: $60/month - billed yearly. 0% transaction fee. 2K CMS items. If you need more items you can switch the Weblow CMS Plan with the Business Plan (choosing the size you need).
Sara M.

Thank you Tullio! But if someone would do the site directly on Shopify that would probably be cheaper, right?
Tullio
·
Sara M. Yes, if we're only talking about fixed costs (in which case you would only need to pay the Shopify Basic plan). But certainly, developing a custom site from scratch entirely in Shopify has much longer development times (and therefore much higher fees) compared to realizing the project with Webflow and Smootify.

This is HUGE! Very helpful. We’ve done some Shopify + Webflow builds in the past but didn’t love the outcomes, it worked but not very clean. I’m excited to check this Smootify out for a current client we’re working on a new Shopify + Webflow build for. 🤙🎉

Sara M.

Thank you for being so clear Tullio! So basically money wise it's cheaper to do just Shopify but then you don't get the customization of Webflow. Correct?

Thanks Tullio — I’ve actually just completed setup of a Shopyflow integration (this project was scoped / costed prior to my knowledge of Smootify), so when I get a chance I will do the same bare-bones setup in Smootify and can give you some feedback if you like,

Yell out if you don’t hear anything for a month… Bit going on! 🫠

Hey Tullio! I am scoping a Shopify Plus project with a Webflow Design and was wondering if Smootify would work as well with a Shopify Plus shop as it does with a regular Shopify project. The project also needs to enable conditional visibility on the prices depending on whether the user is logged in or logged out. Is this possible? Thanks a lot!
Tullio
·
Etienne C. Hi, I can definitely say that Smootify can handle it all.

Good stuff. I have a client who needs to launch a custom webflow website + sell one product type. I'll look into Smootify.
Sara M.
·
if it's only 1 product you can probably use webflow eccomerce
Tullio

Robert H. Sara M. The Smootify Lite Plan is perfect for a single-product or small ecommerce store. For a one-product shop, you can combine the Shopify Basic Plan ($29), Webflow Basic Plan ($14), and Smootify Lite Plan ($9) for a total of $52 per month/ billed annually. No transaction fees.

Tullio I already started a Webflow/Relume project and built out several pages. Can I add Smootify to what I have already done?
Wayne E.
·
(Hit return to soon.) I imagine the answer is yes. Wondering about CMS setup since it is setup when the Smootify webflow project is cloned.
Wayne E.
·
Tullio never mind...I found your video and documentation on setting up CMS manually.

Hey Wayne E. ! Hope you got everything sorted! Let me know if you need a hand. For more setup tips, check out our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/FuTpNshMXq
