# MongoDB

With the Prisma ORM you can use MongoDB as your main database.

However, there are small differences in the way the schema needs to be defined.

## MongoDB Prisma Schema

Shipped provides you with a `prisma.schema` file suitable for MongoDB.

Simply replace the `prisma.schema` with `prisma.mongodb.schema`

cp schema.mongodb.prisma schema.prisma
```

{% endcode %}
