The Business Central Shopify Connector supports several replication processes that keep product, inventory, and pricing information synchronized between Business Central and Shopify. These replications ensure that Shopify always reflects the latest item data maintained in Business Central, enabling accurate product availability, pricing, and customer experience across your online store.

Note: Business Central Shopify does not use LS Central Item distribution method to send data to Shopify.

The Replication feature lets you:

  • Synchronize product data from Business Central to Shopify, including standard items and items with variants.
  • Synchronize inventory levels maintained in Business Central so they are accurately reflected in Shopify.
  • Synchronize Shopify with the latest prices or market‑specific price lists defined in Business Central.
  • To sync LS Images and extra LS Meta Data, run Code unit 71079036 "LSC Shpfy Products" in LS Central scheduler.
