Overview: connect to Shopify from within EdgeCTP
In this blog you’ll learn how to connect to Shopify store from within EdgeCTP.
Shopify + EdgeCTP Accounts
Before you get started with connecting Shopify and EdgeCTP, make sure that you have separately signed up to an EdgeCTP account and a Shopify Store/Merchant account. You will also need the appropriate “administration” user roles to both the EdgeCTP account and Shopify store admin, because you’ll be adding values into both systems to establish the connection.
