Is the Shopify Connector extensible?
The Shopify Connector offers a few points of extensibility. We're keeping the number of points to a minimum so that we can follow the rapid development on the Shopify side without introducing breaking changes. However, the most important scenarios are covered. To learn more and explore some examples, go to Extend the Shopify Connector. Instead of building every modification as an extension, we suggest that you investigate whether you can contribute code to the Shopify Connector through a codevelopment process with Microsoft.
Is the Shopify Connector open for contribution?
This extension is open for contributions from our community. You can find the source code in the Microsoft AL application add-ons repository.
Building your version of the Shopify Connector
According to Shopify, if you want to build and publish a connector app on Shopify marketplace that has the primary purpose of transferring or sharing merchant data to a third party (Business Central), you must have written consent from Shopify. As part of this process, you must get consent from Microsoft in the "End Recipient Data Acknowledgement Form". We need to ask you to handle the matter with Shopify because Microsoft can't sign third-party agreements.
What to do
Check the Shopify requirements because you still might be able to have an unlisted app.
Alternatively, the Shopify Connector for Business Central constantly gets new features and new customers. If you discover a specific gap, consider submitting a product suggestion or a code contribution to Business Central. For requirements that might not be relevant for a majority of customers, and can't be easily addressed by the current extensibility model, please reach out to the Business Central development team to discuss the use case. We should be able to find a feasible solution.
