Shopify on subdomain of Webflow hosted domain

This is a Shopify-specific question, but I imagine it must be relevant to many people.

I am hoping to point my Shopify store to a subdomain of a Webflow-hosted site.

i.e.
Webflow site: mywebflowsite.com
Shopify: shop.mywebflowsite.com

However, when I researched how to do this, all resources are telling my to make changes in cPanel. I have the domain purchased through NameCheap and hosting through Webflow. Do I need to move hosting off of Webflow and onto NameCheap so that I can get cPanel access to make this possible?

Thank you!

This is a typical hosting scenario and handled easily with subdomains to your main zone. All you need to do is create the subdomain (CNAME) shop in your DNS pointing to Shopify shops.myshopify.com and then configure Shopify to use shop.yourdomain.com.

Thank you, Jeff! This worked like a charm! shop.heylocreate.com is my Shopify subdomain, while www is all Webflow. Thank you!

Hey Daniel, I’m attempting to do something similar on my own site. I know Webflow pretty well but I’m somewhat new to Shopify. I checked out your website + Shopify subdomain and I’m wondering how you got your Shopify theme to look like your www’s design theme. Did you create a new Shopify theme from scratch or did you use something like Udesly to export a design from Webflow and then uploaded that to Shopify?

Thanks in advance of any help!

Hey Brendan

Did you get an answer to this? I’m standing at the same point right now. I’m trying to get a shop running with Shopify in the back but using Webflow for the frontend. The website should run on mydomain.com and the shop on shop.mydomain.com

Thanks,
Angelo
