      Hi guys,

      We currently have a site which uses WordPress & attached to it is a Woocommerce for its store.

      We want to just move the store to shopify, but keep the blog on wordpress.

      We also want to keep the same URL structure for the store the same e.g.

      www.website.com/store (woocommerce) to www.website.com/store (shopify)

      Is this even possible?

      Can you point a domain to two separate servers (servers – one for wordpress, one on shopify) at the same time?

      This is SEO related as we want to preserve the authority as a sub-folder. See this: https://inbound.org/blog/the-sub-domain-vs-sub-directory-seo-debate-explained-in-one-flow-chart

      Cheers.

        How big is your store? By far the easiest way to manage this is to use  Shopify's WordPress plugin for inserting a Shopify store into a WordPress site. Here's a decent rundown of the pros/cons and process. Once in pace, you could use 301-redirects for any URL changes to shop URLs to transfer authority of old shop pages to new ones.

        Would that method work for you?
