  I have a website with two main parts: a shop and a blog

  I would like to customize the headers and footers for each part. For instance, the shop will show in all pages information about shipping and contact/support, which is something that only brings noise to the articles in the blog.

  One solution is to have two installations of WordPress and a reverse proxy to put them in the same domain, but this create many problems like:
  1) Duplication of content (ex: images) and customizations (colors, configurations)
  2) The impossibility of including product widgets in the blog and blog posts widgets in the shop
  3) The impossibility of a cart in the blog
  4) The impossibility of a unified sitemaps.xml (at least not without some hacking)

  I would prefer to keep a single site and do some conditional include/replace in the code that renders the header/footer.

  Any ideas/workarounds/tips?

  You would need to work with a developer for this. The WooCommerce conditionals are actually simple though.

  if ( is_woocommerce() ) {
  
  }

  Returns true if on a page which uses WooCommerce templates (cart and checkout are standard pages with shortcodes and thus are not included).

  if ( is_shop() ) {
  
  }

  Returns true when on the product archive page (shop).

  Ref: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/conditional-tags/

  The blog conditionals would be as simple as check for the slug or page id for the blog page. Ex:

  if ( is_page( 42 ) ) {
  
  }

  // When Page 42 (ID) is being displayed.

  if ( is_page( 'Contact' ) ) {
  
  }

  // When the Page with a post_title of “Contact” is being displayed.
