You can use your commercetools products and categories within Builder with the commercetools e-commerce plugin.
The plugin provides custom types that you can use to:
- Provide products and categories as inputs for your custom code components.
- Target content based on products or categories instead of URL paths with hard-coded resource handles or IDs.
- Preview products and categories on product detail pages and inside of other content while editing.
For a general overview of what you can do with plugins see Overview of Built-in Plugins for Builder.
