# Shopify To configure the **connector** between **SIMAX** and **Shopify**, you need to enter the **connection details** **once** to enable **secure communication** between the two systems. Communication between **SIMAX** and **Shopify** relies on a **webhook mechanism**. When a **triggering event** occurs—such as the **creation of an order** or the **update of a customer**—**Shopify** sends the i**nformation** to **SIMAX in real time**. SIMAX then performs the **necessary processing** to integrate and manage the received data. It is therefore essential to **configure the SIMAX API** and **make it available to Shopify**.\ Please refer to the **documentation related to the installation and configuration of the SIMAX API** for more details. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
