# How it works

Metadata-only connector: index.ts instantiates the shared ShopifyStoreConnector adapter; everything source-specific lives in meta.json config: collections → taxonomy slug (with brand/franchise/series), title/tag rules (first match wins), an exclude regex for accessories/apparel/events, and the shop currency. Anything unmapped is skipped, never guessed.

Collections read (17): magic-the-gathering-singles → magic_the_gathering, pokemon-tcg-single-cards → pokemon, japanese-pokemon-singles → pokemon, pokemon-collection → pokemon, one-piece-tcg-single-cards → one_piece_card_game, lorcana-tcg-singles → disney_lorcana, yugioh → yugioh, weiss-schwarz → weiss_schwarz, digimon-card-game → digimon_tcg, star-wars-unlimited → star_wars_tcg, flesh-and-blood-tcg → flesh_and_blood, dragon-ball-super → dragon_ball_tcg, graded-card → other_tcg, pop-vinyl-figures → funko, statues-figures → action_figures, sports-collectables → other_sports_cards, topps-sports-cards → other_sports_cards.

# Access & compliance

# Fixtures & tests

data/fixtures/gameology/*.json are live captures made with connectors/api/_g4-shops-intl-lib/capture.ts (trimmed payloads, expectations derived from the live record). index.test.ts runs the framework fixture suite, the g4 store invariants and a mapping unit test on titles observed live.
