The dotCMS Shopify plugin bridges your content management and e-commerce platforms. Once configured, you can query Shopify products and collections from within dotCMS Velocity templates, REST API endpoints, or custom GraphQL queries — without leaving dotCMS.

This integration provides read-only access to Shopify data via the Storefront API. It does not support writing data back to Shopify, managing orders, or accessing inventory levels.

Use cases

• Content-driven product pages — Build campaign pages, lookbooks, and buying guides with live Shopify product data embedded directly in dotCMS templates. No duplicate data entry; catalog changes in Shopify reflect automatically.

• Headless multi-channel delivery — dotCMS becomes the single API layer for both editorial and product data, serving any frontend via REST or GraphQL without wiring each channel separately to Shopify.

• Multi-site commerce at scale — One integration surfaces Shopify product data across every brand and regional site in dotCMS, with each site controlling its own editorial layer around a shared catalog.

• Faster campaign execution — Content editors can search and embed Shopify products directly in dotCMS without Shopify admin access or a developer ticket, cutting the time to launch a product page from days to hours.
