Converting a Webflow Ecommerce Project to a Shopify Theme

Wouldn't it be great if you could take your Webflow ecommerce project and easily convert it into a Shopify theme? Well, now you can! With Udesley's new app and Chrome extension, the process of converting your Webflow project to Shopify is simpler than ever. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the step-by-step process of how to do exactly that.

Gathering a Webflow Ecommerce Template

Before we dive into the conversion process, you'll need a Webflow ecommerce template to work with. You can find a variety of free templates on webflow.com/templates. For the purpose of this tutorial, I've already grabbed a free template to work with. However, you can also start from a blank page and build your ecommerce project from scratch if you prefer.

Starting the Conversion Process

Assuming you have your Webflow ecommerce project ready to go, it's time to start the conversion process. The first thing you'll need to do is use the handy dandy You Desley Chrome extension. Simply click on the extension once and choose "Webflow to Shopify." This will generate a configuration file that we'll use later.

Exporting the Webflow Project

Once you've generated the configuration file, it's time to export your Webflow project. Click on the export button at the top of the Webflow editor. If you don't have access to this feature, it means you're on a free Webflow account plan. In that case, you'll need to upgrade to a light or higher account plan to gain access. After upgrading, prepare the zip file and download it.

Moving to Udesley

Now that we're done with Webflow, let's move on to Udesley. Log into your Udesley account and click on "Go to App" at the top right. From there, choose Shopify as your platform. Next, drag in the zip file that Webflow provided and select the configuration file you generated earlier. For additional assets, you can choose to skip this step if you don't have any.

Converting the Theme

With the necessary files uploaded, we're now ready to convert the theme. Simply click on the "Convert" button, and watch the magic happen. Udesley will generate a Shopify theme based on your Webflow project. Once the conversion is complete, you can download the theme.

Uploading the Theme to Shopify

Now that you have the converted theme, it's time to upload it to your Shopify store. Log into your Shopify account and navigate to the "Customize Theme" section. Scroll down and click on "Upload Theme" to upload the zip file of the theme you downloaded from Udesley. Once uploaded, click on the "Actions" dropdown and choose "Publish" to make your new theme live.

Importing Additional Data

To complete the process and transfer over any additional data, we'll use the Shopify Webflow Importer app. Log into your Shopify store and locate the app. Paste in the data file provided by Udesley and follow the installation prompts. This will import all your CMS items, products, and e-commerce settings into your Shopify store.

View the Shopify Store

Congratulations! You've successfully converted your Webflow ecommerce project into a Shopify theme. Now, let's take a moment to view your new Shopify store. Browse through the products and see how seamlessly your Webflow design integrates with the Shopify platform. You can even click on a product to see all the details.

Conclusion

In just a few simple steps, you've transformed your Webflow ecommerce project into a stunning Shopify theme. With the help of Udesley's app and Chrome extension, the entire conversion process has become incredibly fast and easy. Now it's time to start customizing your new Shopify store and make it truly your own. Happy selling!
