01Our Approach

Dynamics is the record your finance and operations teams trust, so anything that writes to it should be as accountable as a named employee.

02Overview

Dynamics 365 connected to apps and stores

  • 03Business Central stores

Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration links the Dynamics applications to software outside the Microsoft estate. For the customer engagement apps we use the Dataverse Web API. For finance and supply chain we use its data entities and business events. For Business Central we use its standard and custom API pages. A service between the systems maps records, queues them and retries, authenticated through Microsoft Entra ID.

It suits companies whose web store, customer portal or field application needs items, prices, customers and order status from Dynamics, and must send orders or cases back. Dynamics 365 is a family of products with different data models and interfaces, so the first task is establishing which ones you run, in the cloud or on your own servers, and what your partner has customized.

03What We Do

Capabilities, End to End

01
Entity and table mapping

Customers, items, prices, sales orders, invoices and cases are mapped between Dynamics tables or entities and your application, including dimensions, companies and number series.

02
Ownership across systems

Dynamics normally owns customers, items, prices and financial documents, while the store or application owns the order request until Dynamics accepts and numbers it.

03
Entra ID application access

The service signs in as a registered application through Microsoft Entra ID, with a security role or permission sets limited to the records it handles and no shared user password.

04
Error queue

A document Dynamics refuses, for instance through a blocked customer or a closed posting period, is held with the returned message until someone decides what to do.

05
Retries and renewals

Throttled calls are retried after the pause the service requests, writes use keys that prevent duplicates and webhook subscriptions that expire are renewed automatically.

06
Monitoring for IT

Sync delay, failures, throttling and credential expiry dates are reported on a dashboard and can be forwarded to the monitoring tools your IT team already uses.

06How It Runs

From Kickoff to Launch

01
Identify the estate
02
Agree the design
03
Build in sandbox
04
Release under control
01
Identify the estate

We establish which Dynamics products and versions you run, where they are hosted, what extensions exist and who, among IT and your Dynamics partner, approves changes.

02
Agree the design

Mapping, ownership, identity setup and any custom API pages or entities that are needed are documented, then reviewed with IT and your Dynamics partner before development begins.

03
Build in sandbox

Development targets a sandbox environment holding a copy of your configuration, and the tests cover pricing rules, partial shipments, credit limits, returns and deliberate failure cases.

04
Release under control

The integration moves to production through your own change process, runs beside the manual method for a short time and is then handed over with monitoring and documentation.

08Who It Is For

Built for Teams Like Yours

FLAGSHIP
Dynamics holds the truth and other systems guess

Your store shows prices that differ from the ERP. Portal users cannot see order status without calling. Orders from the website are typed into Business Central. IT wants every integration to use a proper identity instead of a shared account.

09Questions

What buyers ask before they start

If yours is not here, ask us directly. The first conversation is free and useful whether or not we work together.

Book a call

An administrator registers an application in Microsoft Entra ID and grants it access in Dynamics, as an application user with a security role in Dataverse or with permission sets in Business Central. Microsoft sets API limits and licensing rules for automated access, which vary by product and change over time. We confirm the current position with your Microsoft partner and document it before development begins.

Yes. Items, prices, customer-specific discounts and inventory flow from Business Central to the store, and web orders are created as sales orders with their lines, shipping and payment reference. Shipment and invoice status return to the customer's account. Microsoft includes its own Shopify connector with Business Central, which suits standard cases. We build custom integration for other storefronts or needs it does not cover.

Yes, with attention to the network. Older on-premises versions of Dynamics NAV, Business Central and Dynamics AX expose web services that still work, though with fewer features than the cloud APIs. The integration service needs a secure route to them, usually a private connection or a gateway your IT team controls. We assess the version and interfaces first, since they determine what is practical.

Alongside them. Your partner knows the configuration and owns changes inside Dynamics, such as a custom API page or a new field. We build the service outside it and the application or store on the other end. A shared design document keeps responsibilities clear, and the partner reviews anything that touches posting, numbering or security before it goes live.

For simple notifications and approvals it is a good choice, and your team can maintain it. It becomes harder to manage for high volumes, complex mapping, strict ordering and detailed error recovery, and it carries its own licensing. Many organizations use both. Power Automate handles lightweight tasks and a dedicated service carries orders, stock and financial documents.
