How to Use ClickFunnels with Shopify

If you want to learn how to Use ClickFunnels with Shopify, you have come t the right place. But before I teach you this, let us ask one important question: why should you do this?

The main reason why you want to integrate Shopify and ClickFunnels is upsell. Sure, you can build a Shopify store, but this store is really very basic. In short, it does not have the same power as ClickFunnels.

ClickFunnels, on the other hand, has a lot of power compared to the Shopify platform. So, if you combine the two, you are essentially harnessing the strengths of each platform.

Steps to Connect ClickFunnels with Shopify 

First off, let me show you how to do the integration step by step. Then, I will tell you the benefits of combining the two platforms.

• First, log in to both Shopify and ClickFunnels
• Next, go to ClickFunnels integration. On your ClickFunnels account, go to Accounts > Integration > Add Integration
• From here, choose Shopify
• Next, type your Shopify store URL; this is your Shopify log-in credential that they sent you after you created an account or store
• Click Connect Integration

Now, you are done. From here, you can now add Shopify products into your ClickFunnels landing pages or sales funnels.

Benefits of ClickFunnels Shopify Integration 

So, why exactly do you want to do this? Basically, integrating your Shopify is just one of the many ways you can make money with ClickFunnels.

First of all, the reason you want to integrate the two is the sales page. While it is true that you can build a home page in Shopify, its design is for stores, not for sales funnels.

If you integrate ClickFunnels with Shopify, your primary sales page is going to be your ClickFunnels landing page. As such, the template you selected from your ClickFunnels account will be put to good use.

Note once you integrate the two, you are going to sell in your ClickFunnels system, not your Shopify account. Basically, you are just pulling a product out of Shopify into your ClickFunnels website.

The second benefit of doing this is being able to use the entire ClickFunnels system for your Shopify product. As you know, ClickFunnels has many functions that can help you improve your sales.

First off, ClickFunnels is a sales funnel builder. A sales funnel is a simple yet effective system.

Here are the parts of a funnel:

• Landing page
• Checkout page
• Upsell or down-sell page

If you use Shopify, you will be forced to buy an app just so you can do an upsell. With ClickFunnels, this is already built-in.

So, basically, your store is going to look like this:

• Customer clicks on your ad
• The customer goes to your ClickFunnels website (the product here is being pulled from your Shopify store)
• The customer makes a purchase

Now, if the customer clicks on your offer on your ClickFunnels store but did not like it, your ClickFunnels system will have a down-sell offer. This, again, is a product that you can pull off from your Shopify store.

If the customer is okay with the price, then you can offer an upsell, which will also come from your Shopify store.

Another benefit of doing the integration is that you can use the ClickFunnels templates. If you have seen Shopify templates, then you will agree with me that they are not really designed for sales. They are more like store designs, but they do not have all the elements of what makes a good sales page.

Here are the other things that you can use in ClickFunnels that will be difficult to use in your Shopify store:

• About – write a message that discusses who you are
• Copy and bullets – with the ClickFunnels, there are sections dedicated for you to write your sales copy. In Shopify, you have to write the product description on a separate page.
• Product videos and images – you are not limited to adding videos and images on your ClickFunnels landing page. In Shopify, you can only depend on the number of videos or images on your template.
• FAQs – you can have a dedicated FAQ section on your landing page; with Shopify, this has to be a different page.

If you use Shopify as your main sales page, you will have to create sections for all of these. With ClickFunnels, you simply have to choose a single-page template that already has all these.

Pretty much, what ClickFunnels offers is a chance for you to make your sales page as simple as possible. Shopify cannot do this for you because it is a store builder, not a sales page builder.

ClickFunnels vs Shopify Dropshipping

Between ClickFunnels and Shopify, you must know that while these two can help you build a sales website, they have different specific sales purpose.

Shopify is a website builder that allows you to build a store. You can upload many products, so it is a great choice if you are selling clothing, shoes, toys, etc. However, you should also know that there are many pros and cons to dropshipping.

Sometimes, it is best to sell a single product with a sales funnel, and this is where ClickFunnels comes in. This is the best tool to use if you are selling an online course, a new single, a stand-alone product, or a book.

Summary: How to Use ClickFunnels with Shopify

As you can see, the process is fairly easy. The main thing to think about is that Shopify is not a sales funnel.

Sure, it is a store, but the user can really get confused if you have so many products to sell. We also know that Shopify is not the best tool to use for upselling or down-selling—you need to pay for apps to get this done.

My suggestion is that you use both if you have a really expensive set of products that you want to sell and get attention. ClickFunnels is best used to showcase a product in a sales funnel—not in a store.
