It’s not a secret that we love both WordPress and Shopify here at Radii. So we are very pleased to see Shopify release their Ecommerce Plugin for WordPress along with 3 new themes.
WordPress users and fans will be able to continue to benefit from the ease of publishing and SEO benefits of WordPress while using Shopify to manage the more “complex” ecommerce features like, inventory, payment, taxes, secure checkout, shipping and fulfillment.
The Shopify Ecommerce Plugin and the 3 themes are free at the moment. Existing Shopify merchants can download and start using at no additional cost.
