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 Sites
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.
Subscription Initiation: You'll receive a secure link from Flaviar Checkout to update your payment information. Please use that link to provide your payment details for your Flaviar Checkout subscription. We will not be able to proceed with onboarding until this initial payment is collected and the subscription is initiated.
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.
Note: Product SRPs must allow for a minimum 30% retailer margin. Product availability and pricing must be confirmed by retailers in your distributed markets before proceeding.
Store Creation & Flaviar Checkout App Installation: We will set up a Shopify store to power your Buy Buttons. We’ll install the Flaviar Checkout app, which manages order and payment routing to our network of retailers. We’ll then sync the products you uploaded in Flaviar Checkout to your Shopify store.
Shopify App Setup & Brand Settings: You'll be given access to the Shopify store we created for you, along with detailed instructions on how to customize your checkout page (adding logos, brand colors, and fonts) to ensure a consistent brand feel.
DNS Settings: We’ll ask you to update your primary website’s DNS settings (specifically adding a CNAME record pointing to
shops.myshopify.com). This enables your checkout to exist at a branded subdomain (e.g.,shop.yourbrand.com) rather than a generic URL.Buy Button Setup: We’ll guide you through creating and generating your Buy Button code. Once generated, you simply copy the code and place it on your website.
Optional UX Review: Before you officially publish your buy buttons, we may also ask to review your staging/testing pages to ensure the checkout experience is optimal! At this point, we may give feedback on any element that may impact the customer journey to ensure you are set up for success!
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.
Launch: Once testing is finished and we confirm the test payment gateway is toggled off, we’ll give you the go-ahead to launch your new buttons!

Note: Product SRPs must allow for a minimum 30% retailer margin. Product availability and pricing must be confirmed by retailers in your distributed markets before proceeding.
Store Ownership Transfer & App Installation: Flaviar Checkout will request ownership of your Shopify store. This is required so we can maintain a compliant payment gateway and ensure our order processing apps are updated. The Flaviar Checkout app will take over the following to ensure compliance:
Orders and Payment processing
Account billing
Shipping zones and rates
Inventory locations
Customer support email
Store policies
Note for live stores: Your store will need to be temporarily disabled for 1-2 days to complete these configuration steps.
Product Syncing: We will sync the products from Flaviar Checkout to your Shopify store. If you have existing products, we will connect them via SKUs (priority is given to Flaviar Checkout-generated SKUs).
Brand Settings & Store Design: You maintain the ability to design your website pages and set up marketing apps. Flaviar Checkout acts as the backend integration for compliance and fulfillment but does not manage your front-end page content or site design.
Final Testing: We will place test orders using Stripe's test mode to ensure the "Shipping Included" logic and order routing are functioning correctly. We will also verify that an Age Gate is active on the site.
Launch: When testing is complete, we’ll give you the go-ahead to launch or re-launch your site!
