Shopify Connector for Business Central

Microsoft’s native Shopify Connector for Business Central synchronises your Shopify storefront and your ERP in real time — so orders, customers, products, and inventory are always consistent across both systems, without third-party middleware or manual re-keying.

Running Shopify and Business Central as Two Separate Systems?

Every business running a Shopify store alongside Business Central faces the same operational problem: the two systems don’t talk to each other automatically. Orders placed in Shopify need to be manually entered into Business Central, or exported and imported on a schedule. Stock levels updated in Business Central after a warehouse pick don’t feed back to Shopify until someone runs an export. Customer records exist in two places and diverge. The manual overhead grows with every order you process.

Microsoft’s native Shopify Connector, implemented by Finsys Apps, eliminates this problem entirely — connecting Shopify and Business Central so that orders, stock levels, product data, and customer information stay consistent in real time without any manual intervention.

Native Connector

Built by Microsoft — no third-party middleware, no additional subscription, no reliability risk.

Multi-Store Support

Connect multiple Shopify stores to a single Business Central environment — each with independent configuration.

Real-Time Sync

Orders, stock levels, products, and customers stay consistent across both systems in real time.

What the Shopify Connector Synchronises

The connector handles bidirectional data flows between Shopify and Business Central across four key areas. Orders placed in Shopify flow into Business Central as sales orders automatically, ready for pick, pack, and despatch processing. Stock levels updated in Business Central after each fulfilment are pushed back to Shopify so your storefront always shows accurate availability. Products and variants maintained in Business Central are published to Shopify, with pricing, descriptions, and images synchronised. Customer records created through Shopify purchases are created or updated in Business Central, building your customer master data automatically.

  • Shopify orders → Business Central sales orders — automatic, no manual re-entry
  • Stock levels → Shopify — updated after every warehouse movement in BC
  • Products and variants → Shopify — including pricing, images, and descriptions
  • Customer records synchronised both ways — consistent master data
  • Refunds and returns processed in BC update Shopify order status automatically
  • Multiple Shopify stores supported — each with independent location and pricing configuration

Why Businesses Choose Finsys Apps for the Shopify Connector

Professionals reviewing ecommerce integrationShopify connector implementations that create problems do so because the mapping between Shopify and Business Central was not thought through carefully enough at the start — tax codes, warehouse locations, customer posting groups, and payment method mapping all need to be aligned precisely. A misconfiguration that posts all Shopify orders to the wrong revenue account or VAT code is not obvious until the month-end reconciliation reveals the damage.

Finsys Apps handles the connector configuration as part of a broader Business Central engagement — meaning the financial mapping, inventory location setup, and sales order workflow are all designed correctly from the start, and your finance team is not left cleaning up misposted transactions.

  • Precise financial mapping — revenue codes, VAT, customer posting groups, and payment methods
  • Inventory location and warehouse workflow configuration
  • Data migration — historical Shopify customer and order data into Business Central
  • Post-launch support for both the connector and Business Central

“I started Finsys Apps because I believed businesses deserved better — better implementations, better support, and better outcomes from their technology investment. Every client we work with gets my personal commitment to that standard.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Shopify Connector included with Business Central or does it cost extra?

The Shopify Connector is included as part of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central at no additional licence cost — it is a standard extension available in the Business Central extension marketplace. There is no separate connector subscription. The cost of the integration is the implementation and configuration work carried out by Finsys Apps, not an ongoing connector licence fee.

Yes. Business Central supports multiple Shopify shop connections within a single environment. Each connection is configured independently — with its own location, posting group, VAT, and currency settings. This allows you to run separate storefronts for different markets, brands, or product lines while consolidating all order and inventory management in a single Business Central instance.

The connector maps Shopify tax settings to Business Central VAT posting groups. For businesses selling into multiple VAT jurisdictions through Shopify Markets, Finsys Apps configures the mapping to ensure each order posts with the correct VAT treatment in Business Central — a critical step that requires careful configuration to ensure compliance.
