Shinto Morality

I'm utterly lost when it comes to Shintoism, though I do find it interesting.

What I'm wondering is what, if anything, in Shinto is the agency of morality?

For example: Karma (and at times the Gods) in Hinduism, God/Allah in Abrahamic Faiths, etc.

According to wikipedia its kegare and kiyomi, purity and impurity, which seem to be similar to the western concept of good and bad karma.

On the other hand a look at google produces a lot of claims that Shinto has no moral code built into it.

Yes, you're awarded with good luck if you purchase any of the overpriced trinkets they sell at their temples...

Sounds lucrative.

It is. Shinto at this point, is mostly a money-making enterprise in my eyes. You think those temple priestesses are in it for the spiritual aspects? They do it because they get paid. They are not like nuns.
