Microsoft ships a Shopify connector for Dynamics 365 Business Central, and for simple single-store setups it may be enough. Many companies outgrow it quickly: they need B2B customer-specific prices on Shopify, multi-location inventory rules, custom order routing, or bundles that the standard connector does not handle. A Dynamics 365 Business Central Shopify integration built to your process syncs items, prices and inventory from Business Central to Shopify, imports orders and customers into Business Central sales orders, and returns shipments and tracking. AIONDATA builds this using the Business Central API v2.0 or custom AL API pages and the Shopify Admin API with webhooks, or extends the Microsoft connector where that is the better path.
Outcomes
If you have one store, one location and standard pricing, the built-in connector is worth trying first and we can help configure it. If you need B2B price lists per customer, custom order routing, bundles, multiple stores or specific fulfilment logic, a custom build (or extending the connector through AL) is usually the right answer. We assess this in discovery rather than defaulting to a rebuild.
Orders arrive via Shopify webhooks and are created in Business Central within seconds to a few minutes. Inventory can be pushed using Business Central webhooks or job-queue triggers on posting, backed by a scheduled sync every 5 to 15 minutes. Products and prices are typically synced hourly or on demand.
Yes. We can build a custom MCP server that exposes both APIs so an assistant can check where an order is, verify stock across locations or re-sync a product. Write operations are scoped to what you approve.
A standard items, inventory, orders, customers and shipments sync usually takes a few weeks including sandbox testing. Multi-store setups, B2B pricing or custom AL extensions extend the project, typically to two to three months.
