In a world of sheer market competition, the success of a business depends on the systematic approach of leveraging technologies to simplify business operations and make data-driven decisions for better output. The collaboration of Dynamics 365 Business Central and Shopify can empower you to maximise profits and achieve your goals on time.
You can leverage the capabilities of Shopify Connector to easily connect Shopify with Business Central, enabling you to streamline your business operations while supercharging your e-commerce game.

For e-commerce companies, the implementation of Business Central acts as a backend solution that manages all back-office functions with full accuracy. However, it can perform other functions as well, like:

The Shopify Connector is an application that can establish a connection between Business Central and Shopify with ease. It builds a reciprocating connection between solutions so that an update in one of the solutions will take place in both and in real-time.
With a full-user Business Central licence, a user can access Shopify Connector from Microsoft’s marketplace. After downloading, one can proceed to establish a connection by entering the necessary information, like APIs or access keys.
