Hello,
I am interested in changing the default sidebar to another. I solved this by using the template "sidebar.php" from the shop folder and by changing "shop" to a sidebar in the theme.
get_sidebar('shop');
Is this the best way or could I have done it with a function also?
Where can I find the sidebar-shop.php? Does it exist?

there's no sidebar-shop.php, there is only sidebar.php located in the templates folder under the "shop" folder.
you have this file copied to a "woocommerce" folder within your active theme, correct?
If so, the method you used is appropriate.
I found the shop widget area a bit unwieldy as I wanted to have the same set of widgets throughout my site, so i just did this:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_sidebar', 'woocommerce_get_sidebar', 10);

So I did a bit of testing and I created a sidebar-shop.php in my child theme. It worked! I just had to add a simple code the functions.php so that it is displayed in the widget area.

This is specific to the Responsive Theme.
The shop sidebar default to the main sidebar. What I tested was I could change the size of the widget in the shop page without changing the width of it on other pages.
WooCommerce is good as the possibilities are endless.
@bheadrick thank you for your input
