Business Central ↔ Shopify — Orders, Dimensions, VAT Codes
The Business Central ↔ Shopify connector by ERPPlugs writes every Shopify order to Dynamics 365 Business Central as a Sales Order + Customer + Sales Invoice with correct Dimensions (Global Dimension 1 + 2 + shortcut dimensions), VAT codes per shipping destination, and Item Ledger Entries. Complements Microsoft's first-party Shopify connector for scenarios it doesn't cover — multi-storefront Shopify, non-standard payment methods, and Dimension routing per storefront.
Two-way Business Central ↔ Shopify sync — orders, inventory, VAT, and Dimensions on every Sales Order and Item Ledger Entry.
What this connector does
Microsoft ships a first-party Shopify connector for Business Central and it works well for straightforward single-storefront scenarios. The ERPPlugs Business Central ↔ Shopify connector complements it where the first-party breaks — multi-storefront Shopify with per-store Dimension routing, non-standard payment methods, and multi-company BC setups. Every Shopify order writes to BC as a Sales Order + Customer + Sales Invoice with correct Global Dimensions (typically DEPARTMENT + CUSTOMERGROUP) + shortcut dimensions per your BC setup. VAT codes apply per shipping destination via BC's standard VAT posting groups. Item Ledger Entries track inventory movements with correct Location + Bin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microsoft's connector covers single-storefront + straightforward payment methods well. The ERPPlugs connector adds multi-storefront Shopify with per-store Dimension routing, non-standard payment methods (BNPL, Klarna, Afterpay), and multi-company BC scenarios. You can run both — the first-party for standard flow + ERPPlugs for edge cases.
At setup, you map which BC Dimensions the connector should populate on Sales Orders (typically Global Dimension 1 = Department, Global Dimension 2 = Customer Group). Per-storefront rules populate the Dimensions based on the storefront the order came from.
BC's standard VAT posting groups (Business Posting Group + Product Posting Group) apply per shipping destination. For EU + UK, the connector reads the ship-to country and applies the correct VAT posting group. Reverse-charge VAT for B2B EU orders is handled per BC's standard rules.
Yes — each Shopify storefront can map to a distinct BC company at setup. Intercompany transactions handled per BC's standard intercompany posting flow.
Shopify Payments settles daily; the connector posts each payout as a Cash Receipt Journal with Shopify fees split to a distinct GL account and net cash to the payout-clearing.
