Hi Rachel
We built a custom thing for Handel & Hendrix which consumes their products from the Shopify API and pops them into WordPress. It then builds buy now buttons and does the cart sidebar stuff - so the whole transaction can happen on-site.
See https://handelhendrix.org/shop/
It’s pretty simple and probably wouldn’t be any good if you had lots of products, or wanted to do things with product categories and so on - but for a flat list it works well.
Shout on or off list if you want the code, happy to provide.
cheers
Mike
ps. We’re building a new version of this as a plugin, but it’s not going to be ready for a couple of months..
