# Replo Sites vs. Shopify Themes

> Pick the right Replo product for how you want to build and publish.

Replo has two products for building pages, and the right one depends on where you want your pages to live.

**Replo Sites** is Replo's flagship product: describe what you want in chat and Replo builds it, from a single landing page to a full site with its own brand kit, integrations, and scheduled tasks. Pages publish to your own domain (or a free staging domain) and connect to Shopify checkout, Replo's built-in checkout, or an external platform.

The **Shopify Theme Builder** is Replo's Shopify-native product: a template-driven, drag-and-drop editor for building pages inside your existing Shopify theme, published directly to your store's domain.

  <Accordion title="I'm on Shopify">
    Both products integrate with Shopify. The choice is about where the pages live:

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Standalone pages connected to Shopify">
        **Best for:** launching funnels and campaign pages fast, without touching your theme.

        **Replo Sites** syncs your Shopify products and sends customers through your existing Shopify checkout, while the pages themselves live on Replo hosting.

        ### Why teams pick it

        * **Tell Replo what you want**: Describe the page, paste an ad screenshot, or link a reference URL, and Replo builds it in minutes.
        * **Shopify checkout built in**: Products, variants, and selling plans sync automatically; customers check out through Shopify, so analytics stay accurate.
        * **Your own domain**: Publish to a custom domain or subdomain, separate from your theme, so you can test offers freely.
        * **The full workspace**: Brand kits, integrations, insights, and scheduled tasks come with it.

        ### Use Replo Sites when you want to

        * Ship campaign pages and funnels quickly, outside your main theme
        * Test new offers on their own domains without theme risk
        * Build from prompts, screenshots, or reference URLs
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Pages inside your Shopify theme">
        **Best for:** building pages that live inside your existing Shopify theme, on your store's domain.

        The **Shopify Theme Builder** publishes directly into your theme, so pages use your store's existing navigation, apps, and infrastructure.

        ### Why teams pick it

        * **Shopify-native publishing**: Pages live on your store's domain with your existing cart and checkout.
        * **Shopify content types**: Build [Shopify Sections](https://support.replo.app/articles/1716492430-shopify-sections), [Blog Posts](https://support.replo.app/articles/1716483107-blog-posts), and [Product Templates](https://support.replo.app/articles/1788163503-product-templates), and drop in custom Liquid code.
        * **Template-driven workflow**: Start from the Replo template marketplace and customize with a drag-and-drop editor.

        ### Use the Shopify Theme Builder when you want to

        * Keep your entire storefront on Shopify
        * Build Shopify-native content: sections, blog posts, product templates, or custom Liquid
        * Work in a drag-and-drop, template-based editor
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I'm not on Shopify">
    Use **Replo Sites**. You can host products, cart, and checkout entirely within Replo, or connect an external platform.

    * **Tell Replo what you want**: Build from prompts, screenshots, or reference URLs.
    * **Replo Commerce**: Create products and sell with [Replo's built-in checkout](/commerce/replo), no Shopify required.
    * **External platforms**: Send buyers to [WooCommerce, Stripe, Gumroad, PayPal, and more](/commerce/external/introduction).
    * **Your own domain**: Publish to a custom domain or a free staging domain.
    * **Analytics and integrations**: Connect GA4, Meta Pixel, and the rest of your stack.

<Note>
  Rule of thumb: if the page should live inside your Shopify theme, use the Shopify Theme Builder. For everything else, use Replo Sites.

## Choosing when you create a project

When you create a new project, Replo asks whether your business uses Shopify and which product fits:

* **Replo Sites**: Standalone landing pages and sites built with Replo, hosted on Replo or your custom domain, with Shopify checkout integration.
* **Shopify Theme Builder**: Pages built directly into your existing Shopify theme with a template-driven, drag-and-drop workflow.

Pick the one that fits your workflow, then complete the setup. The [Shopify Theme Builder docs](https://support.replo.app/) live separately; everything else on this site covers Replo Sites.
