I currently have a website hosted by Photofolio. I want to start selling prints on my site using Shopify. How do I integrate Shopify into my website?

Hey Robert!
Great to hear you’re interesting in using Shopify to sell your prints 
It sounds like using our Buy Button feature is ideal for your use case:
Let me know if you have any questions
So here is what I am looking for…and it’s hard to get an answer from anyone about where to start. I have looked at four different Photofolio clients (that who hosts my site) to see how they present their “shops” to sell prints.Three of them (Sam Jones, Jim Golden, Brad Oliphant and Andy Anderson ) use Shopify, BigCartel and Fotomoto respectively and all shops leave the Photofolio site to do their business. Andy Anderson’s print sales DO NOT leave your site. How does he do that?
At any rate, I have narrowed down the landing page for my storefront page to something similar to the following:
When ANY one of these chromes is clicked it would take the client to a landing page for that print with all of the pertinent information…print size, cost, add to cart and so on. The final step would be the pay/shipping page.
So what I need to know…is that storefront landing page (the slide page on the light table) set up on Photofolio and when an image is chosen the client is taken to Shopify or BigCartel or Fotomoto? Or does the client click on the “shop” button on my homepage and is taken to a third party e commerce site in which case I need to deal with them concerning that shop landing page. Or do I figure out Andy Anderson’s unicorn where everything stays on Photofolio?

Hi @Robert_Beck, can you reshare that image please? It doesn’t seem to be loading for me.
With our Buy Button solution, your customers can continue to stay on your site until they are ready to pay. When they are ready to pay, they will be sent to your own Shopify shop’s checkout.
There a quite a few customization options for Buy Buttons so you will have to make sure you choose the “add to cart” option to make sure customers stay on your Photofolio site until they are ready to complete their purchase on your Shopify shop.
I can’t speak for 3rd party solutions and Andy Anderson’s solution though.
