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 (15): manga → manga, all-graphic-novels → comics, dragon-ball-figuarts → action_figures, trading-figures → action_figures, pokemon-moncolle → action_figures, funko → funko, blind-boxes → designer_toys, pokemon-tcg → pokemon, magic-the-gathering → magic_the_gathering, yugioh → yugioh, disney-lorcana → disney_lorcana, digimon-card-game → digimon_tcg, dragon-ball-super-tcg → dragon_ball_tcg, star-wars-unlimited → star_wars_tcg, gundam → gundam.

Fixtures & tests
data/fixtures/travellingman/*.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. Live probe: pnpm tsx connectors/api/_g4-shops-intl-lib/smoke.ts travellingman.
