This topic describes how to use an HTTP event source to integrate Shopify with EventBridge.

Background information

Shopify provides technical resources and templates for e-commerce retailers to build online stores and manage business across all channels in marketing, selling, payment, and logistics. EventBridge supports fast integration with Shopify for you to manage events and alerts in a centralized manner.
