You can use your Magento products and categories within Builder with the Magento e-commerce plugin.
The plugin provides custom types that can be used 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 e-commerce plugins and where they fit into your site, you can check out E-commerce Plugins for Builder.
In order to enable the plugin to communicate with Magento, you can copy your store URL from your store's admin panel. This step will provide you with the information needed to complete the plugin setup below.
