Business Central Configuration

Other Microsoft Standard Fields
This page walks through the setup used in our own demo environment, so you can see a working example end to end. Use it as a starting point, and adapt the individual field values to fit your own business requirements. For the full picture of what can be set up and synchronized between Business Central and Shopify, see Microsoft's Shopify Connector Overview - Business Central | Microsoft Learn.
To set up Shopify, start by going through the online help from Microsoft.
After completing the setup in Shopify and connecting your store to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can configure the integration by creating a Shop record on the Shopify Shop Card page.
- Each Shopify store must be added as an individual shop in Business Central, and each shop maintains its own connection details, synchronization preferences, and data‑mapping settings.
- The connector supports multiple Shopify stores, so you can create additional shop cards as needed, each configured independently.
General (Connection)
The General section of the Shopify Shop Card holds the core connection details for the shop: the Code that identifies the shop in Business Central, the Shopify Admin URL of the store you are connecting to, and the Enabled toggle that specifies if the service is enabled.
Note: You can find the Shopify Admin URL in your browser's address bar while logged into the Shopify Admin panel. It follows the format "admin.shopify.com/store/{store ID}". Do not copy the URL from the online storefront, as it may show a redirect URL instead.
If the Enabled toggle fails after turning it on, hover over the red error icon to check the message. If it mentions an HTTP request error, this is because the Allow HttpClient Requests option is disabled for the extension.
To resolve this:
- Open Extension Management.
- Search for Shopify BC Connector for LS Central and select it.
- Make sure Allow HttpClient Requests is enabled.
Note: The error occurs because this permission was disabled beforehand. Enabling it allows the connector to make the HTTP requests required to complete the connection.
