What Is Shopify?
Shopify is an e-commerce platform designed to help brands—startups and market leaders alike—power their online business.
Shopify offers e-tailers many benefits, including website development, customer billing, online inventory tracking, mobile commerce, and selling on online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon.

After selecting the trigger type, you can create Send, Filter, and Delay nodes in Workflow Studio using Shopify data.
