E-commerce platform Shopify

Yes. For Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, there is a standard connector that lets you connect Shopify to your ERP system. For example, items, product data, prices, and inventory levels can be transferred to Shopify, while orders from Shopify are brought back into Business Central. dc is a specialist for E-commerce projects with ERP integration and considers the connection to Business Central right from the start.

Shopify offers many ready-made themes that let you get started quickly in principle. In our projects, though, a custom design template is always part of the setup. We use Shopify standards as a solid foundation and adapt layouts, colors, fonts, and custom design elements to match your corporate design. That way, you don't get an off-the-shelf shop, but a buying experience that fits your brand.

Shopify Plus is built for larger and more complex commerce projects. If you have many markets, multiple international shops, high revenue, special checkout requirements, or complex b2b scenarios, Shopify Plus can be the right choice. For many projects, though, standard plans like Grow or Advanced are more than enough - and you can always switch to Shopify Plus later. We deliver projects with standard licenses as well as Shopify Plus and advise you on which option fits your business model best.

Yes. Shopify originally came from the b2c commerce space, but with Shopify B2B it now also offers native features for business customers. You can map business customers, custom catalogs, pricing, payment terms, and b2b-specific checkout processes. Through ERP integration, assortments, customer data, and prices can be connected with Business Central. For larger b2b projects, we also build custom portals, dashboards, and start areas so your customers can see all key information at a glance after login.

Shopify is a very strong solution when it comes to fast time-to-market. In exceptional cases, a simple web shop including online payment can go live in as little as 4 to 6 weeks. For a typical Shopify project, you should usually plan for 2 to 4 months depending on scope - including consulting, setup, design, content, testing, and go-live.

Shopify is a software-as-a-service solution. Licensing, hosting, updates, and the technical platform are included in the monthly Shopify fee. That means you can get started relatively affordably and scale flexibly later on. In addition, with dc you should plan for services starting at around 15 consulting days for consulting, project management, setup, training, and design customization. On our pricing page, you'll find more information and can request a custom quote.

Shopify was developed from day one as cloud-based software-as-a-service. You don't need to install your own version, run a server, and you automatically benefit from updates, new E-commerce features, and AI features. Shopify also offers a very large app store and extremely fast time-to-market. If you want to go live quickly, stay up to date, and use lots of ready-made extensions, Shopify is often the right choice.
Our goal is to keep up with solutions like Shopify, Shopware, or Magento in terms of functionality, while being much more deeply integrated into Business Central processes. That's why dynamic commerce is the ideal E-commerce platform for mid-sized companies that use Business Central and want to manage multiple shops, countries, or channels centrally.

Shopify is a standalone web shop platform that can be connected to Business Central through interfaces. dynamic commerce, on the other hand, was developed specifically for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and is integrated much more deeply into the ERP system's business logic. As a result, dynamic commerce supports pricing logic, customer groups, shipping costs, voucher management, and other E-commerce processes directly in Business Central. Which solution is the better fit depends on your business model - we'll advise you honestly and compare both options together with you.
