# Global-E - Shopify Metadata Setup

> Use Global-E order note attributes from Shopify in SourceMedium reporting.

## Follow this guide to use Global-E metadata in SourceMedium.

Global-E is not connected as a separate SourceMedium data source. SourceMedium uses Global-E-related order note attributes that are already present on Shopify orders through your Shopify integration.

### Requirements

* Use of Global-E for international commerce within Shopify
* An active [Shopify integration](/data-inputs/platform-integration-instructions/shopify-integration)
* Global-E order note attributes present on relevant Shopify orders

### How SourceMedium uses Global-E

Global-E can affect international Shopify reporting because duties and tax details may be written to Shopify order note attributes. SourceMedium uses Shopify order data to support Global-E reporting where those attributes are available.

SourceMedium does not ask you to authorize Global-E separately.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm Shopify is connected">
    Complete the [Shopify integration](/data-inputs/platform-integration-instructions/shopify-integration). Global-E note attributes are read through Shopify order data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Global-E note attributes are present">
    Confirm recent international orders in Shopify include the Global-E details you expect SourceMedium to report on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask SourceMedium to check reporting">
    Let your SourceMedium account manager know your store uses Global-E so we can check order classification, attribution, and duties reporting during onboarding.
  </Step>
</Steps>
