Advanced Shopify–Business Central integration for NAV, Navision, and Dynamics 365
ShopifyConnector is built to extend and strengthen the integration between Shopify and Microsoft Dynamics, across all the versions businesses still use today: Navision, Dynamics NAV, and Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The goal is simple: make Shopify and your ERP operate as one connected commerce system, where catalog, inventory, orders, customers, tax logic, and documents move automatically and consistently between both platforms.
Microsoft already provides a native connector for Business Central Cloud, and it syncs products, images, attributes, inventory, customers, B2B companies, and orders.
But once ecommerce operations become more demanding, the standard connector often shows its limits: complex variants, advanced tax handling, returns and refunds, multi-currency, variant imagery, and broader multichannel requirements.
That is where ShopifyConnector comes in.
It increases the integration capacity between Shopify and Business Central, giving your business a more flexible, scalable, and commerce-ready architecture.
This product is a strong fit for companies working with:
- Dynamics 365 Business Central
- Microsoft Dynamics NAV
- Navision
- NAV → Business Central migration projects
- B2C and B2B ecommerce on Shopify or Shopify Plus
Who owns the data: Business Central master, Shopify master, or bidirectional
ShopifyConnector supports different sync models depending on the business architecture.
Business Central as the master
The ERP controls: catalog, stock, pricing, fiscal logic, B2B rules.
Shopify acts as the selling channel.
Shopify is the master
Bidirectional sync
This is often the best model in more mature ecommerce operations.
Business Central controls: stock, pricing, tax logic, B2B, operational rules.
Shopify controls: content, merchandising, storefront experience.

What the Shopify–Business Central integration helps you fix
Complex catalogs and advanced variants
The Microsoft connector works well for simple catalogs, but it can become restrictive when your business depends on:
- large variant matrices
- advanced product structures
- variant-specific imagery
- richer merchandising logic
ShopifyConnector supports more advanced catalog synchronization between Shopify and Business Central.
Inventory issues and stock by location
The Microsoft connector works with Shopify locations to calculate inventory availability.
When configuration is incomplete or multiple warehouses are involved, businesses often face:
- incorrect stock shown in Shopify
- products appearing available when they are not
- overselling
ShopifyConnector allows more advanced stock synchronization rules for multi-location and more complex logistics environments.
Tax complexity and fiscal logic
Many integrations struggle when Shopify and Business Central calculate taxes differently.
This usually creates:
- manual accounting corrections
- inconsistent order totals
- finance reconciliation issues
ShopifyConnector is designed to support a more consistent fiscal logic between Shopify and the ERP.
Equivalence surcharge issues (Spain)
ShopifyConnector solves this
If your business operates with equivalence surcharge, Shopify and Business Central need to stay fiscally aligned.
ShopifyConnector solves this by supporting a consistent tax treatment between both systems.
2-decimal rounding issues
ShopifyConnector solves this
Shopify works with 2-decimal pricing and totals.
When Business Central applies different internal calculations or higher precision, penny differences can appear in:
- order lines
- discounts
- tax amounts
- shipping totals
ShopifyConnector solves this by applying a controlled rounding strategy between Shopify and Business Central.
Returns and refunds that go beyond the basics
Standard connector logic is usually centered on the core order flow.
For many ecommerce businesses, that is not enough.
ShopifyConnector helps support more complete post-purchase workflows, including:
- returns
- refunds
- partial refunds
- replacement scenarios
- operational post-sale processes
Multi-currency and international selling
International ecommerce requires proper handling of:
- multiple currencies
- multiple markets
- different fiscal rules
- different pricing strategies
ShopifyConnector is designed to support more advanced international operations.
Commerce architectures beyond a single storefront
The standard connector is mainly built around Shopify as a single ecommerce channel.
Many businesses also sell through:
- marketplaces
- additional storefronts
- B2B channels
- external sales systems
ShopifyConnector fits into a broader integration architecture, not just a single-store sync.
