You got it. As a hosted service... you get your domain for all the products and the cart, but Shopify handles checkout with their system.

You can brand your checkout with a logo. Therefore Shopify is taking all the responsibility for secure checkout, leaving you to simply sell stuff and ship sales, as opposed to all the merchant gateway crap.

Hi Shopifeye,

No, it's not possible to use your own domain during the checkout process.

Is it possible to keep the user on the domain during the checkout process, or we have to redirect to the shopify domain during checkout?

I know I can run the store on my own domain, but all the examples that I have seen seem to redirect during the actual checkout process.

Vision will be up and running again very soon. We are just uploading the new Vision site.

Hey TutorGuy, I would suggest starting off by downloading Vision at http://vision.shopify.com/ . I think by playing around with the default themes that come with Vision, you'll be able to get an idea of how Liquid (Shopify's Liquid templating system) works. The different tags and methods available for Liquid are documented in the Shopify Wiki.

Once you are more comfortable with Liquid, you can start a Shopify theme from scratch using your own HTML + CSS.

Good luck! Let us know if you have any questions.

Alex, you can hire someone to create these feeds for you. It's a matter of reading their spec, and creating a page without layout, with the proper Liquid programming to generate the proper XML.

I have a website made using CSS and HTML. I want to use most of this design for my new shopify site. What is the best way to integrate an old design into the shopify framework?

Hi, I faced similar problems mentioned by thecrush.

whenever a user visits

somedomain.myshopify.com/products or

somedomain.myshopify.com/collections

the user will be brought to a page that the html code looks something like this:

<body id="page-list-collections">
<div id="collections-listing">
<h2>Product Collections</h2>
<ul>
    <li class="accessories-collection">
      <strong><a href="/collections/accessories">Accessories</a></strong>
      <small class="hint">9 products</small>
    </li>
    <li class="frontpage-collection">
      <strong><a href="/collections/frontpage">Frontpage</a></strong>
      <small class="hint">8 products</small>
    </li>
</ul>
<div id="pagination"></div>
</div>
</body>

I had searched through all my .liquid files but i cant find any element related to "page-list-collections" or "collections-listing".

I can edit the stylesheet.css file to something like this:

#collections-listing ul {
padding: 0px !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
#collections-listing {
width: 940px;
height: 500px;
}
#collections-listing li {
padding: 0px !important;
margin: 0px 25px 25px 0px !important;
list-style-type: none !important;
float: left;
width: 280px;
height: 200px;
}

But there are limited things i can do to a css file.

Where to find this particular template? or am i missing something?

Thanks

PriceGrabber,Pricerunner etc etc is there a solution for this yet. They always ask us for a feed but then say later our feed in incomplete or not good enough.

Any suggestions.

Cross-Border Business & Legal Implications by Matt1975

Matt1975 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:30:34 +0000

Hi all, it's my first post here on the forum :)

I'm conducting research for an ecommerce business and have some questions re: cross-border shipping etc.

My business will be located in Canada but my customers will be primarily from Canada & USA, which is why the Shopify/Shipwire integration really appeals to me. I can have product stored at warehouses in both Canada and the USA and save $$ on shipping, get products shipped to customers quicker, etc.

I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me what are the legal & tax implications with such a setup... remember my business will be registered in Canada only...

Thanks!

Matt

Caroline, I wish I could hire you to help with my site as you are the best person for the job. But the lack of investment from Shopify has caused me to think of where I should go now.

Important things have not been resolved by the Shopify team.

1. 3D Checkout UK

2. No help with feeds for shopping comparison websites, example Price Runner, Price Grabber etc etc.

3. They seem to be more concern on getting new clients and not focusing on larger clients that need special services. I have offered Shopify my own capital to hire more people. It's been very quiet.

Caroline Schnapp — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:40:37 +0000

Hi, bdoyle, cart.attributes is used to send the custom engraving to the back-end. Each developer's precise algorithm will vary along these lines.
