The problem it solves

Every Shopify order that comes in has to be manually re-entered into Business Central before your finance and fulfillment teams can act on it. That double entry costs time and creates room for mistakes between what customers ordered and what gets invoiced or shipped.

Who it fits

Ecommerce businesses using Shopify and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for accounting and fulfillment.

How it works

  1. The system checks Shopify on a schedule for new orders
  2. In-store point-of-sale orders are created as sales invoices
  3. Online orders are created as sales orders awaiting fulfillment
  4. Customer records are matched or looked up in Business Central
  5. The order is written into Business Central automatically
What you get

Orders that land in your books without typing

Every new Shopify order becomes a sales invoice or order in Business Central automatically, keeping your records current.

What you get

A matching sales order or sales invoice in Business Central for every new Shopify order.

What you need

A Shopify store and a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
