I’ve been using this app for around 18 months now to sell on Shopify through my existing website. This was important to me as I had an existing site and domain which I had developed over several years. Adding a button to my site is very easy. I design/configure the button on Shopify and then generate the code. This produces JavaScript that I copy and paste into a code module on my site. This means I can add the module anywhere and I’m not restricted to my shop pages. There are of course a couple of minor niggles such as I would like to be able to configure my checkout page to show the order summary (with the coupon code area) but can’t. I would also like to use some features of other Shopify marketing services but not everything can be used with the Buy Button.
I’m continually surprised by how well the Buy Buttons on my site perform and how good the Shopify service is. It pays for itself many times over each month. I have tried other solutions to selling directly from my website over the years. Each time I’ve had nothing but frustration and hidden costs. The Shopify Buy Button is the best by far.
It blows, very limited and has little function ... can't go straight to check out, bypasses check out apps. big fail, stay away unless you want some cheesy add to cart pop up to hit your landing page
Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback with us!
The Buy Button is meant to connect customers to your checkout, and while it is able to send them to the checkout page directly it may not be able to integrate with other apps you have running on your store. This is a current limitation due to the fact that the Buy Button operates as a separate sales channel from your online store.
That said, we’re always looking for ways to to improve the way our apps functioned, so I’ve followed up with you via email to look into this further, and log your feedback for our development team. I hope to hear from you soon! - Lauren, Shopify Support
The fact you can't customize the button with this widget is a complete disaster. Get your act together and do the work.
HINT TO SHOPIFY: If you fix this, more people will be using the buy button, which means more revenue for them, which means more revenue FOR YOU!
No brainer. Use your brains.
This app is a great idea but poorly executed. We encountered major layout issues with both individual and category buttons, which makes this app useless. Not recommended until this problem gets fixed. I doubt that will be anytime soon.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the layout issues you ran into, and I'd like to learn more about these to help troubleshoot further. I'm going to reach out to you via email shortly to discuss this in more detail. I look forward to speaking with you soon! - Rae, Shopify Support
I used the Buy Button on my hosted Wordpress web site. It was a snap to set up and works beautifully. Very professional looking all the way through checkout...no problems or questions from customers. Very happy with Shopify so far!
Easy to add code to our website, integrates well. Loads very slowly with blank page, no loading info
If you stay on the Shopify platform this is a GREAT feature.
I don't stay on the platform. I have a standalone website that can easily display the contents of my collections via Buy Button code that I paste into that website BUT it only takes the basic information.
We sell personalized products now and this is an absolute non-starter at this point. None of the personalization capture fields we have in our Shopify store come across so it's just another listing that you can't modify on the off-platform website so why bother... This issue comes up because suggested modifications for product templates are accomplished using "liquid" code but, unfortunately, that can only be read by Shopify, not our website provider.
I'm now struggling to find a developer who can do a very complex task of working with Shopify's API to move that data across.
I realize this is a free "app" but, really Shopify. This doesn't do what it's advertised to do. It says you can display your products on any website, blog, etc. NO YOU CANNOT. Not if they contain anything more than basic listing information and normal variants.
Disappointed to say the least.
Hey there, thanks for taking the time to share this feedback about the Buy Button!
I can certainly understand why this limitation would be frustrating, especially considering you're selling personalized products. When embedded on a third-party website, the Buy Button acts as a connecting tool to the Shopify checkout, and isn't ideal if you need to add additional fields for the product beyond basic listing and variant info.
That said, we're always looking into ways we can improve our apps! I’ve followed up with you via email to log your feedback for our development team - Lauren, Shopify Support
I use the Buy Button on both my Blackwattle and One Tree Hill Alpacas websites. I found adding the Buy Button process very easy to navigate through and add to both my websites! Recommended for those using WordPress websites!
I use Kajabi so adding the BUY BUTTON has been great for creating a cart for my Ceremonial Cacao products. I'm so glad I found this offer with SHOPIFY which seems to be working nicely with my existing website on Kajabi, instead of having to recreate the website on Shopify. I at first found it a little confusing to see on the Shopify website exactly what integrations are available with this Shopify LITE (BUY BUTTON) compared to the other 3 Shopify Online store options but then someone confirmed for me and I'm so grateful. I would suggest adding this LITE/BUY BUTTON onto the main chart on the website so that it's super clear. Thanks for everything!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and I'm glad to hear that you've been finding the Buy Button useful. I also appreciate your feedback about our pricing page not including the Lite plan and I'll be sharing this information with our internal team; it would be great to see the Lite plan reflected on our pricing page. I'd love to address each of your questions about the Lite plan features, so I'll be following up with you directly via email shortly. I look forward to your response! - Julie, Shopify Support
Used to work great, now doesn't work at all. I'm adding a button that is supposed to add the product to your cart on my Wordpress.org blog. When you click the button it goes to the cart but with no product added. :/
