Three architectures.
One important choice.
Native / ERP-integrated
The shop reads prices, stock, and customer agreements directly from Business Central. There is no second product database to keep in sync — the ERP is the engine. Strongest for B2B with customer-specific pricing. In this comparison: Abakion Ecommerce and Sana Commerce.
Real-time sync
A separate shop platform that mirrors Business Central continuously and is purpose-built for Dynamics ERPs. Close to ERP truth without running inside the ERP. In this comparison: commercebuild, Dynamicweb and k-eCommerce.
Connector
A general-purpose ecommerce platform connected to BC by a scheduled synchronization. Widest storefront choice, but the connector is its own moving part. In this comparison: Shopify (official Microsoft connector), Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce and nopCommerce.

How the official Shopify connector for Business Central actually works
Microsoft ships a free Shopify connector inside Business Central. What it synchronizes, how often, what it does not do, and when it is the right choice.
Native vs synced: what your BC webshop's architecture really decides
ERP-native, real-time sync or connector — the integration architecture behind a Business Central webshop decides cost, fidelity and failure modes for years. Here is the honest comparison.
B2B webshops and Business Central's customer-specific prices
Business Central holds negotiated prices, discounts and agreements per customer. Whether your webshop can show them is the single most decisive question in choosing a B2B ecommerce platform.
A few things worth knowing.
What is the best ecommerce platform for Business Central?
There is no single best platform — the right choice depends on whether you sell B2B or B2C and how tightly the shop must follow ERP data. For B2B with customer-specific pricing, ERP-integrated platforms such as Sana Commerce or Abakion Ecommerce fit best. For B2C, Shopify with Microsoft's official connector is the fastest proven route. For companies that want PIM and ecommerce in one suite, Dynamicweb is the strongest combination.
Does Shopify integrate with Business Central?
Yes. Microsoft builds and maintains an official Shopify connector that ships with Business Central. It synchronizes products, inventory, customers and orders between the two systems and is free to use — you pay only your Shopify subscription.
What is the difference between a native and a synced Business Central webshop?
A native shop (for example Abakion Ecommerce or Sana Commerce) reads prices, stock and customer agreements directly from Business Central, so the shop always shows ERP truth. A synced shop (Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce) copies data between two systems on a schedule — simpler to adopt, but stock levels and customer-specific prices can lag or require extra mapping.
What does a Business Central webshop cost?
Entry costs range from almost nothing (WooCommerce plus a sync app) to six-figure implementation projects (Adobe Commerce with a connector). SaaS platforms built for BC — Sana Commerce, commercebuild, k-eCommerce, Abakion Ecommerce, Dynamicweb — typically run on monthly or annual subscriptions plus a scoped setup. The bigger long-term cost driver is usually the integration: who maintains it, and what happens when Business Central updates.
Can Business Central handle B2B customer-specific prices in a webshop?
Business Central holds customer-specific prices, discounts and agreements natively. Whether your webshop can show them depends on the integration: ERP-native platforms display them directly, while connector-based platforms need the price logic replicated or approximated on the shop side.
