Business value

Map shipping fee information from Shopify to Business Central more accurately and with more flexibility. You can choose different types of shipping charges, such as G/L account, item, or item charge, and specify the shipping agent and shipping agent service.

Feature details

In addition to the Shipping Charges Account field available on the Shopify Shop Card page, we're adding Shipping Charges Type and Shipping Charges No fields to the Shopify Shipment Method page. Adding these fields allows you to more precisely map shipping fee information from Shopify to the sales document in Business Central.

You can continue to use the G/L account defined on the Shopify Shop Card page, but if you define a Shipping Charges Type and Shipping Charges No, those values are used instead.

The Shopify Connector now supports the following types:

  • G/L Account
  • Item
  • Item Charge

Item Charge is automatically assigned to all items on the sales document.

Shopify Shipment Methods

You can also find the Shipping Agent Code and Shipping Agent Service Code fields in the Shopify Shipment Methods page. If you fill them in, they populate the corresponding fields on the sales document in Business Central.

Shopify order

Multiple shipping fees

Shopify lets you add multiple shipment fees to an order—for example, by editing the order in the Shopify Admin. When you receive several shipping fees with a Shopify order, the Shopify Connector uses the first one to initialize the Shipment Method Code, Shopping Agent Code and Shipping Agent Service Code fields in the header of the document.

Be aware that in other cases, Shopify merges multiple shipping rates into one value called Shipping and doesn’t transfer individual rates.
