Shopify Product Catalog
Connect your Shopify store and sync products into BabyLoveGrowth.
The Shopify Product Catalog integration lets BabyLoveGrowth import products from your Shopify store. Once connected, you can sync your catalog on demand and use product data across the platform.
Separate from blog publishing
Product catalog uses its own Shopify app credentials and scopes. It is independent of the
Shopify blog publishing integration
. You can connect one, both, or neither.
