How can we help you?
Yes! For sure, we can also connect the Tinx Shopify Connector with Shopify Point of Sales (POS) & Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
We are using the REST API from WooCommerce. To make connection between the 2 systems, an integration should be created in WooCommerce: consumer key and consumer secret. These credentials are added in Business Central. Now we are able to synchronize data between WooCommerce & Business Central.
Setting up the integration between Shopify and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is relatively quick and straightforward. Here are the main steps involved:
The entire process can be completed in a matter of hours, depending on the complexity of your setup, the standard behaviour in your Business Central / Shopify and the number of products and data you need to synchronize.
If you need any specific guidance or run into any issues, feel free to ask!
Pricing for an Amazon susbcription is calculated per Amazon region (5 regions available) and per company in Business Central. Example; if you want to connect 2 Amazon regions like EMEA and North America to 1 Business Central, you need two software licenses. More info about Amazon regions can be found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/buyerguide/supported-regions.html

The Tinx Shopify Connector is launched 3 years earlier before Microsoft launched her own Shopify Connector. This means we have added 3 year of project experience and requests from our customers to our solution. This is making the Tinx solution way more flexible than the one from Microsoft. Another important difference is that the Tinx solution is compatible with Business Central On-Premise environments, Microsoft doesn’t support Business Central On-Premise environments, only SAAS.

With our dedicated in-house development team, we develop and maintain these connectors. Our delivery team ensures seamless implementation for our clients. We are professionals in e-commerce integrations and offer our services to customers and Dynamics partners worldwide.
All the integration work we do for our customers are done as projects. Several parties are involved during the project: the end-user (customer), Dynamics partner and E-commerce partner, making the project as a team effort.
Tinx will always assign 1 dedicated implementation consultant to your project.
General project steps:

Absolutely! With the Tinx Connectors, we offer various methods to manage PIM (Product Information Management) data. If you prefer to maintain your PIM data in a separate PIM platform, it can work seamlessly alongside the connector. In this case, our recommendation is to use the connector to send basic product data such as product name, product number, and product price to the webshop. Your PIM platform can then further enrich the data in the webshop.
Absolutely, the Tinx E-commerce Connector offers its own PIM layer as an addition on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The PIM layer is specifically designed for webshop usage.

Implementation Services (Consultancy)
To integrate the Tinx E-commerce Connector into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the number of project days depends on the project’s requirements and integration needs. Some projects may only take a few days if the requirements are compact. In other cases, integration needs can be much larger and require a longer project. The required budget depends on the scope of the integration. A sales representative will help you determine the right scope based on your needs. Below are some typical scenarios that can be used as budgetary estimates:
Your one-time investment – ballpark* project days for integrations (without modifications to Business Central or webshop):
*Note: Amazon integrations sometimes take only 1 to 2 project days.
Our daily implementation rate is 1.192 EUR.
Please note that the mentioned scenarios are examples of common projects and may differ from your situation. If you have specific requirements, it may be possible to complete the work in less than 4 days or require more than 20 days for advanced integrations. For more information on pricing, please contact one of our sales representatives.
To connect Business Central to an online store, the Tinx E-commerce Connector needs to establish a connection with the online store’s API. With one connector license, you can link one online store API to one Business Central administration. Depending on your specific requirements, it may be necessary to have more than one license. For personalized advice, please contact us.
Don’t worry! The Tinx E-commerce Connector rarely goes completely “down.” Business Central and the webshop continue to function as usual. Your customers can still browse products and place orders on the webshop. In the meantime, you can email support@tinx-it.com, describing the issue, and we will promptly address your ticket. Once the problem is resolved, the connector will typically synchronize all data again.
As a standard part of each project, we provide training to end users before going live. After the training, you should be able to handle first-line support on your own. If you still don’t feel entirely comfortable in this area, you can reach out to our support department at support@tinx-it.com, where you will receive further assistance.
As a Microsoft Gold partner, we deliver at least one, but often multiple releases to the Microsoft AppSource platform every quarter. This ensures that customers always have access to new Tinx E-commerce Connector releases that have been validated by Microsoft for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Tinx is supporting these Microsoft Dynamics versions:
As a legacy system, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is no longer the primary focus for Microsoft. It has been succeeded by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, which offers similar functionalities but with enhanced cloud capabilities and modern interfaces. Tinx has its focus with software development on the cloud version: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
We offer a wide range of integrations in Business Central with the most popular e-commerce platforms, POS Systems:
This is definitely possible. In addition to our e-commerce connectors for Business Central, we also provide a seamless integration with Amazon marketplaces through our solution the Tinx Amazon Connector.
Furthermore, we support a wide range of marketplaces through our solution ChannelEngine Connector.
Absolutely, this is possible. With our Shopify Connector, you can not only connect to your Shopify webshop but also integrate with Shopify POS. Click here for more information about the Shopify Connector. Additionally, we offer direct integration with MplusKASSA through the MplusKASSA Connector.
The Tinx E-Commerce Connector is no middleware. The Tinx E-commerce Connector is a Business Central app. All the Tinx apps are availble in Microsoft AppSource as a free trial. It is part of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, allowing seamless data synchronization between your ERP system and various e-commerce platforms1. This means it operates within the Business Central environment rather than as an external application.
All communication with the webshop is managed directly through this app. No external servers are needed, and all connector data is readily accessible within Business Central. Therefore, it operates internally and is not considered middleware.
The Tinx E-commerce Connector is an extension within Business Central and behaves like standard Business Central functionality. This means you will experience the same look and feel as you are accustomed to within Business Central.
Certainly. Please contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Yes, each of the Tinx E-commerce Connectors can simultaneously manage multiple e-commerce platforms from a single Business Central environment.
Absolutely, this is definitely possible. For example, if you’re a customer with both a Shopify and WooCommerce webshop, you can connect both webshops to Business Central, each with its own connector. The beauty of it is that there is no limit to the number of webshops you can connect to Business Central.
That’s definitely possible. You can choose which Business Central administrations you want to connect with one or more webshops. On the BC side, these can be different companies within one database, or they can even be different databases. There’s no limit to this.
All Tinx E-commerce Connectors utilize the API provided by the respective e-commerce platform. The e-commerce platform always maintains the most up-to-date API with the latest functionality, which our connectors then communicate with. In most cases, we do not need to use the API of Business Central. Our connectors do not have their own API, so there is no need for us to maintain one in that regard. Rest assured, the connectors themselves are maintained to ensure that an up-to-date version is always available.
The Tinx E-commerce Connector is perfectly capable of retrieving standard product data from Business Central. However, it’s important to note that the available data in BC is typically limited and may not be ideal for webshop use. Optionally, the Tinx Connector offers its own, much more extensive PIM layer, specifically designed for webshop use.
