Shopify Connector

Before we explore the Shopify connector – One of the many application connectors provided by Boomi, we should know what it is.

What is Shopify?

Shopify is an eCommerce platform that allows users to build, manage and run their online storefronts. Using this platform, users can sell their products anywhere online.
Coming back to Shopify Connector, as already mentioned, it’s an application connector provided by Boomi to connect to and exchange data from the Shopify platform. Using this connector, you can directly connect with the Shopify platform, browse the interfaces in real-time, and exchange Shopify data with any cloud or on-premises platform.
