Setting Up the Shopify Plugin
With Builder's Shopify plugin, you can integrate Shopify with minimal configuration and add your Shopify backend as a data source.
Tip: Because the Shopify plugin lets you use your Shopify backend as a data source, you can access your Shopify data as a data provider.
For more information on using data in Builder, visit the Binding Your Data section of Connecting API Data.
