Thanks for your interest in Flaviar Checkout! Our integrations are co-powered by Shopify, whether we are providing Buy Buttons to install on your current, non-Shopify website or integrating directly into your existing Shopify website.
We’re excited to bring you the combined power of Shopify’s capabilities & app ecosystem and Flaviar Checkout's compliant retail fulfillment platform.
See below for what to expect during your onboarding.
Note: for brands that will also be fulfilling non-alcohol items alongside alcohol, additional steps are required that are not outlined below. See here for more information.

Shopify-Powered Buy Buttons for Non-Shopify Websites
User Account Setup: To start, we’ll set your team up with user accounts in the Flaviar Checkout platform. You’ll use these accounts to manage product pricing and distribution information, as well as monitor orders.
Product Upload & Approval: You’ll then add products to the Flaviar Checkout platform so that our team can review your distribution and pricing information with our retailers. The product submission page will guide you through all of the necessary information. Product availability and pricing will need to be confirmed by retailers in your distributed markets before proceeding.
Store Creation & Flaviar Checkout App Installation: The Flaviar Checkout team will then set up a Shopify store that will be used to power your Buy Buttons. This Shopify store will not replace your primary website, but it will be used to power Buy Buttons, integrate with marketing apps, and access Shopify Analytics. We’ll install the Flaviar Checkout app, which covers everything related to order & payment routing to our network of retailers. We’ll then sync the products you uploaded between Flaviar Checkout and Shopify.
DNS Settings: Once the setup is nearly complete, we’ll ask you to make some updates to your primary websites DNS settings. This will enable your checkout to exist at a Flaviar Checkout-powered subdomain rather than a generic URL. Customers will still access Buy Buttons and their cart at your domain, but once they proceed to checkout, they’ll checkout at checkout.yourdomain.com.
Optional: App Setup & Brand Settings: At this stage, we’ll provide access to the Shopify backend. You’ll be able to set up free Shopify apps like Google, Facebook, and Klaviyo (paid apps require additional discussion), as well as add some branding elements to the checkout page and emails.
Buy Button Setup & Subscription Billing: When ready to proceed, you'll customize your Buy Buttons from within Flaviar Checkout. For each button, you'll generate code and implement it on your website wherever applicable. Before receiving the code, you'll reach an upgrade screen where you can select your plan and add your payment information.
Final Testing: If you’d like to test out the Flaviar Checkout-Shopify integration before going live with a product, you’re able to place an order via your Shopify website or buy buttons as soon as you’ve been given the green light by Flaviar Checkout's team. Reference our Shopify launch guide for more information.

User Account Setup: To start, we’ll set your team up with user accounts in the Flaviar Checkout platform. You’ll use these accounts to manage product pricing and distribution information, as well as monitor orders.
Product Upload & Approval: You’ll then add products to the Flaviar Checkout platform so that our team can review your distribution and pricing information with our retailers. The product submission page will guide you through all of the necessary information. Product availability and pricing will need to be confirmed by retailers in your distributed markets before proceeding.
Flaviar Checkout App Installation & Store Settings Updates: The Flaviar Checkout team will request access to your Shopify store so that we can install the Flaviar Checkout app. The Flaviar Checkout app will take over the following areas of your store to ensure a compliant connection to our retailer fulfillment network:
Orders,
Payment processing,
Account billing,
Shipping zones and rates,
Inventory locations,
Customer support email, and
Website terms.
Product Syncing: If you have existing products that are already set up in your Shopify store, we’ll connect them to the products you added to Flaviar Checkout via the SKUs. (Priority will always be given to Flaviar Checkout-generated SKUs.) If you don’t yet have any products set up in your Shopify store, we’ll sync the products you uploaded in Flaviar Checkout to Shopify.
Stripe Gateway Setup: To ensure that payments flow properly from consumers to the Flaviar Checkout retailer network, you’ll need to set up Stripe as a payment gateway in your Shopify store. This requires an update to your Shopify’s Payments settings that can only be done by the account owner. We’ll provide instructions on how to do this.
Brand Settings & Store Design: At any stage, you’ll be able to design your website and set up Shopify apps on your own, as well as customize branding and communication across checkout and emails. Flaviar Checkout is solely a backend integration and does not handle any user-facing elements of your store - such as page content, cart design, or checkout design - except for product pricing and terms & conditions.
Final Testing: If you’d like to test out the Flaviar Checkout-Shopify integration before going live with a product, you’re able to place an order via your Shopify website or buy buttons as soon as you’ve been given the green light by Flaviar Checkout's team. Reference our Shopify launch guide for more information.
Subscription Billing: Ahead of your launch, you'll receive an invoice to initiate your Flaviar Checkout subscription. You'll be able to add a credit card or bank account for future payments, which will move towards automatic billing after the first month.
