Extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Shopify Item Sync for Business Central

See where your Business Central items and your Shopify products disagree, and fill the gaps without overwriting what is already in Shopify.

Status: Pre-release; listing on Microsoft AppSource in progress. Features may change before launch.

What it does

• Compares Business Central items with Shopify products, and shows what is missing or different.
• Fills blank fields in Shopify without overwriting existing Shopify data: barcode, product type and price when they are blank.
• Copies Business Central item pictures to Shopify products that have no images.
• Builds product descriptions from Business Central item extended text and attributes, when the Shopify description is blank.
• Pushes Business Central inventory to the Shopify location you choose.
• Validates a spreadsheet of new items before creating them in Business Central.

Every action has a preview (a dry run) and batch limits, so you can see what would change before anything does.

Who it is for

Business Central online customers who also sell through Shopify and want to find and fix the differences between their items and their Shopify products.

How it works

The app is an extension that runs inside your own Business Central online environment. You connect your own Shopify app: you create it in your Shopify Dev Dashboard and enter its client ID, client secret and shop domain on the app’s setup page in Business Central. The secret is stored in Business Central’s isolated storage. The extension then calls the Shopify Admin API directly from your Business Central environment. The publisher does not receive your item or product data through the extension. See the privacy policy.

Requirements

• A Business Central online environment. Try it in a sandbox first.
• A Shopify store, and permission to create an app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard.
• Shopify app scopes: read_products, write_products, read_inventory, write_inventory and write_files. Read-only use needs only the read scopes. The help guide explains each one.
• Microsoft’s Shopify Connector may be required for some features. The extension only reads the connector’s item-to-product links.
