Can I run both the Shopify app and the universal embed at the same time?

Yes. Many shops run a Shopify store for retail customers and a GoHighLevel funnel for paid traffic. One Patch It Up Pro account supports both simultaneously. The first connected store is included and each additional store is $49 once; orders from every platform sync to the same dashboard.

Does the universal embed work inside an iframe?

The universal embed mounts inline by default, not inside an iframe. That gives the best mobile performance, full screen real estate, and no height issues. If you specifically need iframe embedding for a locked-down platform, support can enable that mode.

Is the usage fee the same on both integrations?

Yes. Both integrations use the same tiered schedule on orders placed through the designer: 8% on the first $50, 6.5% to $150, 5% to $500, and 4% above $500 — the bigger the order, the lower the rate. There is no difference for choosing one integration over the other. Standalone plan users without an integration pay no usage fees at all.

Patch It Up Pro

Shopify App vs Universal Embed: Which Patch It Up Pro Integration Should You Use?

Short answer: Use the Shopify app if you run a Shopify store and want native theme extension, line-item property sync, and Shopify-native checkout. Use the universal embed for GoHighLevel, Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, or any custom HTML site. Both integrations carry the same tiered usage fee — 8% on smaller orders, dropping to as low as 4% as orders grow.
