# Data integrations & inputs

> Overview of how SourceMedium ingests data, supported integration types, and what to do when an integration isn’t available

This section covers how SourceMedium ingests data from your sales, marketing, subscription, and analytics platforms, plus what you can provide via user inputs.

## What counts as an “integration”

Integrations fall into a few buckets:

* **Direct platform integrations** (Shopify, GA4, ad platforms, etc.)
* **Connectors / ingestion partners** (where applicable)
* **User inputs** via the SourceMedium Configuration Sheet (costs, targets, and non-integrated sales)

## Getting started

1. Start with the full list of supported integrations: [All available integrations](/data-inputs/platform-integration-instructions/all-available-integrations)
2. Connect your highest-impact sources first:
   * Ecommerce sales (Shopify / Amazon)
   * Paid media (Google Ads / Meta Ads / Amazon Ads)
   * Web analytics (GA4)
3. Standardize channels and fill gaps using the configuration sheet:
   * [Configuration sheet overview](/data-inputs/configuration-sheet/config-sheet-overview)
