If you are encountering a character limit issue when embedding Shopify's "Buy button" code on your Webflow page, there are a few workarounds you can try:

Use a custom code embed widget: Instead of using the default embed widget in the Webflow Designer, you can use a custom code embed widget that allows for longer code snippets. You can find third-party custom code embed widgets through the Webflow Community or forums.
Split the code into multiple embeds: If your code exceeds the character limit, you can split it into multiple embeds and place them in different sections of your page. For example, you could place one part in the header, another in the body, and another in the footer. This method might require some experimentation to ensure the code functions properly.
Create a separate page for the code: If the character limit is still an issue even when using multiple embeds, you can create a separate page in Webflow solely for embedding the Shopify "Buy button" code. This separate page can then be embedded as an iframe or linked to from your main page.
Use a custom script file: Instead of embedding the entire code directly on your Webflow page, you can create a separate JavaScript file and host it externally. This way, you can simply reference the external file with a shorter code snippet in your Webflow page.
Minify and compress your code: If none of the above solutions work, you can try minifying and compressing your code using tools like UglifyJS or Closure Compiler. This process removes unnecessary characters and spaces, reducing the overall code size.

Remember to test each workaround to ensure that the Shopify "Buy button" code is still functioning as desired. It's also essential to keep a backup of your original unaltered code in case any issues arise.
