How can I use Webflow and Shopify ThemeKit to simplify the process of making theme changes and uploading them to Shopify without using Git?

TL;DR
  • Export your Webflow code as a ZIP file and extract it.
  • Install and configure Shopify ThemeKit with your store’s API credentials.
  • Link ThemeKit to your Shopify theme using theme configure.
  • Transfer Webflow HTML, CSS, and JS into Shopify Liquid templates and asset folders.
  • Use theme deploy to upload changes or theme watch for automatic syncing.
  • Test and debug your Shopify theme for accuracy and layout consistency.

If you want to use Webflow and Shopify ThemeKit to streamline theme updates without Git, you can manually export your Webflow design and use ThemeKit to deploy changes to Shopify.

1. Export Your Webflow Design

  • In Webflow, go to your project and click Export Code (top right corner).
  • Download the ZIP file containing HTML, CSS, JS, and assets.
  • Extract the ZIP file locally for editing.

2. Set Up Shopify ThemeKit

  • Download ThemeKit from Shopify by following Shopify's ThemeKit installation guide.
  • Open your terminal or command line and authenticate ThemeKit with Shopify:
  • Get an API password by creating a Private App in Shopify Admin.
  • Use the credentials to configure ThemeKit with access to your store.

3. Connect ThemeKit to Your Shopify Theme

  • Run theme configure with your store information, API password, and the theme ID to link ThemeKit to your Shopify store.
  • Navigate to your theme folder and run:
    ```bash
    theme open
    ```
    This opens your Shopify theme preview in a browser.

4. Transfer Webflow Code into Shopify Liquid Files

  • Copy relevant HTML snippets from Webflow and paste them into Shopify’s Liquid template files (e.g., theme.liquid, sections/, and snippets/).
  • Move your CSS and JS into corresponding Shopify theme folders (assets/).
  • Adjust file paths and convert dynamic elements (like headings, product lists) into Liquid variables or blocks.

5. Upload Changes to Shopify Using ThemeKit

  • After your edits, upload the theme changes to Shopify by running:
    ```bash
    theme deploy
    ```
  • If you want to continuously sync changes, use:
    ```bash
    theme watch
    ```
    This auto-uploads files whenever you save them.

6. Test and Finalize

  • Refresh your Shopify store to check for design accuracy.
  • Debug any layout issues caused by Liquid vs. HTML differences.

Summary

Export Webflow code, modify it to align with Shopify’s Liquid structure, and use ThemeKit to deploy changes—without needing Git. Use theme deploy to manually push updates or theme watch for automatic syncing.
