Creating editable Shopify Sections

Hello @Ecommfox

Yes, that sounds like the right approach. A custom plugin would give you the flexibility needed to fetch JSON data from Shopify templates — including section settings — and inject it into context.Builder.

Allowing user input to specify the Shopify template and define custom data blocks for the Builder editor aligns well with how custom plugins are typically structured.

It’s great that you’ve started with the docs and GitHub examples — those are definitely the right starting points. That thread you found on How to build a Custom Editor plugin for my ecommerce backend with Builder.io should also be very helpful and relevant to what you’re trying to achieve.

Let me know if you hit any blockers along the way or need help with implementation details!
