VL by eHouse | Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Connector

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the ERP mid-market businesses reach for when QuickBooks and spreadsheets stop scaling — financials, inventory, purchasing, and operations in one cloud system. Pairing it with Shopify is a natural architecture for a growing brand. Keeping the two in sync manually is not.

The VL by ehouse Business Central Connector is a pre-built, fully elastic integration that keeps Business Central and your commerce channels synchronized in real time — orders, inventory, customers, and fulfillment, all flowing automatically with your business rules applied.

What the connector does

• Delivers Shopify orders into Business Central as they happen, mapped to your items, customers, and posting setup
• Pushes Business Central inventory availability back to the storefront so stock levels stay accurate
• Syncs fulfillment and tracking data to trigger customer notifications
• Moves data point-to-multipoint — one Business Central instance can serve your storefront, 3PL, and marketplaces simultaneously

Does Business Central integrate with Shopify out of the box?

There is a basic native connector, and for simple single-store, single-location setups it can be enough. Growing merchants usually hit its ceiling quickly: multi-location inventory, channel-specific pricing, bundles and kits, B2B customer structures, 3PL hand-offs, and marketplace channels all need logic the out-of-the-box sync doesn't carry. That's the gap a managed iPaaS integration fills. The VL by ehouse connector applies business rules to data in flight — routing orders by location, transforming item structures, matching customers across channels — and extends the same Business Central connection to systems beyond Shopify, so you're not adding a new integration project for every new channel. It's also operated as a managed service: ehouse configures the workflows to your operation, monitors the flows, and adapts them as your business changes. Merchants typically move to this model the moment operations staff start spending hours a week “fixing the sync.”

Who it's for
