Frequently asked questions

Can I use Sirv without being in the Drupal/Acquia ecosystem?

Yes. Sirv AI Studio is a standalone platform - no CMS dependency. Connect to Shopify, use the REST API, or set up webhooks for any integration. Acquia DAM works best within the Acquia/Drupal ecosystem; Sirv works with anything.
