Integration with Shopify

[dhmacs]

Enable the content editor to pick products from Shopify (e.g. featured products in home page).

This of course would be good for any other platform, like Magento.. Therefore the most flexible implementation would be to enable custom integrations with dato.

A possible implementation of this could be to enable the creation of custom presentation UI for the JSON field. For example, the Shopify product picker could be implemented as a UI that stores the selected product data to JSON under the hood.

@macs91: I have the exact same need in one project. Maybe we can collaborate on a product picker in a shared repo somewhere? :)

[dhmacs]

@lapidus Yeah sure, once they'll release UI extensions we can work on it

@stefanoverna I suggest that another that would be really useful is the shopify-collection one.. Mostly when working with Shopify you deal with produt collections
