# Connectors

A Connector is a production-ready integration with Composable Commerce.

After a [ConnectorStaged](/connect/connectors-staged.md#connectorstaged) is published, a [Connector](/connect/connectors.md#connector) is created containing all the information from the ConnectorStaged. These are production versions of your Connector that are available for clients to deploy.

[Connectors](/connect/connectors.md#connector) are read-only. If you are a [creator](/connect/overview.md#who-is-connect-for) and want to make changes to your Connector, you should make the changes to the [ConnectorStaged](/connect/connectors-staged.md#connectorstaged) and then use the [Publish](/connect/connectors-staged.md#publish) update action.
