# Maintaining your own connectors

## Introduction

All prebuilt Patchworks connectors in the [Patchworks marketplace](/product-documentation/marketplace/the-patchworks-marketplace.md) are maintained by Patchworks. Any updates required for these connectors (for example, if Shopify were to change their integration requirements) are completed by Patchworks and made available in the marketplace for you to install.

Any connectors that you build with the connector builder are your responsibility to maintain. &#x20;
