The latest update for the Shopify connector includes changes introduced by Shopify, such as dual-level risk assessments, accurate weight management, and new product information management. In addition, the update includes multiple enhancements based on feedback.
Feature details
Shopify releases a new API version every three months at the beginning of the quarter. Shopify supports each version for 12 months. These API releases might bring bigger changes. For that reason, the Shopify connector updates the Shopify API version it uses in major releases of Business Central. Typically, new versions of APIs increase stability and security, and enable additional capabilities. Starting with this release, the Shopify connector uses the Shopify API that was released in July 2024.
This version introduces changes in various areas. Some changes aren't directly visible. The following changes have a direct impact.
The Shopify connector now supports up to 2,000 variants per product. This capability is part of the Shopify API that Shopify announced in the winter editions. You just need to wait until Shopify enables that capability in your store.
There's a new way to handle risk assessments. Shopify now supports two levels of risk assessments and external providers. The connector still imports both risk assessments and sentiments. However, no single value represents the risk for an order. Because of this limitation, the connector doesn't show risk assessment information on sales orders or invoices.
When you turn on the connector, it gets the default weight unit of measure from Shopify and uses that unit when it sends the product weight. You can change the unit of measure that the Net weight field uses in Business Central.
The Gift card property is now available on sales lines, not just on the product. With this property, the connector recognizes custom discounts, usually sold through POS, and processes these discounts as normal discounts.
The connector discontinues the Location Code field in the Shopify order header. The connector doesn't import data from the Location or Physical Location fields. Instead, it uses location information in the order fulfillment lines. Sales documents have a location only on their lines, not in the header.
The connector aligns the use of units of measure. Imported sales documents use the sales unit of measure that you define on the item card. The sales unit of measure is also used to calculate prices and discounts. The connector aligns the unit of measure to use the sales unit of measure when synchronizing inventory.
In addition to these changes, the connector includes improvements that enhance the general usability of the connector.
The Linked to Documents FactBox is available on the Shopify Orders page. You can open an order, invoice, or shipment from the list.
Add the Shpfy Doc. Link To Doc. permission to D365 BASIC to enable warehouse processing and other posting activities without granting full Shopify permissions.
Import the Tax ID value from the company location in Shopify. The system doesn't use this data when you create or update a customer because different localizations send the field to different destinations.
Use the default color configuration in the Shopify Activities part to make it easier to notice issues with synchronization.
