Integrate Business Central with ecommerce

A guide for businesses running Business Central who want to connect their ERP with an ecommerce platform — automate orders, inventory, and invoicing.

Microsoft Business Central is an enterprise ERP used across a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and distribution to retail and services. For ecommerce businesses, connecting Business Central to an online store eliminates the manual work of re-entering orders, keeps stock accurate across channels, and ensures invoices are created automatically with the right legal entity, currency, and account structure.

This guide covers how Business Central ecommerce integration works and what to expect when setting it up via Junipeer.

Core data flows

Orders from ecommerce to Business Central — each order creates a sales order or invoice in the correct Business Central company, with the right customer, currency, sales account, VAT posting group, and payment method.

Stock from Business Central to ecommerce — item availability from Business Central pushes to your webshop in near real-time, preventing overselling.

Credit notes — refunds in the webshop create credit memos in Business Central linked to the original document.

Payout reconciliation — aggregated payouts from Klarna, Stripe, Adyen, and Shopify Payments are matched against posted invoices automatically.

Multi-entity and multi-currency — Business Central’s native multi-company support maps to multiple ecommerce stores or brands. Orders route to the correct legal entity, and currency handling follows Business Central’s exchange rate setup.

Which ecommerce platforms connect to Business Central?

Junipeer supports Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Shopware, Centra, Norce, Brink, and Geins alongside Business Central.

Setup

Connecting Business Central requires API credentials configured in your BC environment. The technical setup takes about 15 minutes. Total configuration time varies with your account structure — a single-company setup is straightforward; multi-entity configurations with custom dimensions and posting groups take longer but follow the same process.
