Is Shopify not yet available for MS Dynamics 365 BC on-premise?

Topic summary

Main issue: Whether the Shopify connector works with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) on‑premise.

Key facts:

  • Microsoft documentation linked in the thread states the connector is only available for the online (SaaS) version of BC, not on‑premise.
  • A later confirmation notes that even in BC24 (Business Central 2024 Release Wave 1), the connector still supports only SaaS BC environments.
  • Clarification: Shopify itself is a SaaS service; the question concerns Microsoft’s BC Shopify connector.

Latest updates and outcomes:

  • After meeting with a certified Shopify partner, the poster concluded they should move their BC to the cloud to use the connector.
  • An on‑premise integration might be possible via a custom solution between a Shopify partner and a BC partner, but it would involve extra “tinkering” and likely higher long‑term cost.
  • One participant plans to use other e‑commerce platforms and mentions having a connector for Odoo as an alternative.

Status: Effectively resolved—no official on‑prem support; recommended path is BC online or custom workarounds/alternatives.

No idea what you are talking about. I am referring to this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365-release-plan/2022wave1/smb/dynamics365-business-central/shopify-connector

“This feature is available only for the online version of Business Central. It isn’t available for on-premises versions.”

I was simply wondering if that information is still accurate.
