Design and commerce are separate problems
WooCommerce handles products, cart and checkout. Your a Chrome-rendered PDF portfolio design handles persuasion. Treat them separately: convert the presentation layer, then let WooCommerce own the transactional pages.
What to convert and what to rebuild
Convert the marketing surfaces; keep the transactional templates native so plugins and payment flows behave.
- Convert: home, category landing, campaign and content pages
- Convert: about, FAQ and support pages
- Keep native: cart, checkout and account pages
- Keep native: product templates that need live inventory
Running the conversion
Capture the storefront page while product media and the page as Chrome paints it, fonts and all are fully loaded.
- Open the page you want to convert in Chrome.
- Click the Themify extension icon in the toolbar.
- Press Generate theme and wait for the capture to finish.
- In wp-admin, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
- Upload the .zip, activate it, and the page is live on WordPress.
After launch
Test a full purchase end to end, confirm tax and shipping rules, and verify transactional emails before switching DNS.
