Architecture
Shopify is the storefront.
It is rarely the system of record.
Orders, inventory, pricing, and customers usually live somewhere else. We map every field before we write a line of code, then build the connections so nothing gets re-keyed.
Connecting Microsoft Dynamics to Shopify creates an amazingly powerful toolset to help streamline your business operations. By integrating the two, your company can automate data synchronization across inventory, orders, customer information, and financials, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the risk of errors.
Text Connects specializes in bridging the gap between Shopify and Microsoft Dynamics, offering integration solutions ready to meet your business needs. Whether you want to enhance your e-commerce capabilities or improve back-end workflows, our experience and expertise ensures a smooth and efficient connection, allowing your business to thrive.
Why would you want to connect Shopify and Microsoft Dynamics?
Centralized Inventory Management
Real-time synchronization between Shopify and Dynamics ensures that inventory levels are accurate across all platforms, preventing overselling or stockouts. Businesses can manage inventory from multiple locations and warehouses using Dynamics while instantly reflecting changes in Shopify.
Enhanced Order Processing
Automated order fulfillment: Orders placed in Shopify can be automatically synced with Dynamics for seamless order processing and tracking.
Precise Financial Management & Accounting
Shopify sales data can be automatically imported into Microsoft Dynamics, helping businesses generate financial reports and track revenue, expenses, and profits more efficiently. Taxes, discounts, and promotions applied in Shopify can be reflected in Dynamics for accurate accounting.
Deeper Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Customer data synchronization: The integration allows for unified customer records, syncing customer purchase history, preferences, and interactions across Shopify and Dynamics. This helps businesses track customer behavior and engage in targeted marketing, improving and increasing customer retention and satisfaction.
Data-Driven Insights
Businesses can leverage Dynamics’ advanced reporting and analytics features to gain insights into sales trends, customer behavior, and inventory performance. These insights help with strategic decision-making around inventory management, product offerings, and customer engagement.
Power Scalability & Growth
As a business grows, the integration between Microsoft Dynamics and Shopify can scale with it, allowing for easy management of additional sales channels without manual intervention. This integration is suitable for businesses looking to expand to other e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, or physical stores.
Automate for Increased Efficiency
Automating tasks like order entry, customer updates, and product listings reduces manual workload and the risk of human error. This frees up staff to focus on more crucial areas of the business, such as customer service and strategy.
Seamless Product Catalog Management
Businesses can manage product information centrally in Dynamics, including pricing, descriptions, and categories, and automatically update Shopify’s catalog to reflect any changes.
Improve Customer Experience
With better inventory and order management, businesses can ensure timely deliveries and accurate stock levels, leading to a better shopping experience for customers. Dynamics can also help personalize customer interactions, enhancing loyalty and satisfaction.
Sell Across Channels
The integration supports businesses that want to expand into omnichannel retailing, allowing them to sell on Shopify and other platforms while managing operations centrally in Microsoft Dynamics.

How we work
The commercial stuff,
out in the open.
01 Do you require deposits?
Yes — for projects over 10 hours, unless you're on a retainer. Theme and app projects are billed on 2–4 milestones.
02 Do you do monthly maintenance retainers?
No. We sell pre-paid development retainers in 10-, 20-, 30-, and 50-hour blocks. The hours never expire.
03 What happens if something breaks after launch?
Our own code carries a 30-day bug warranty. Bugs in third-party themes and apps are billed hourly, and we'll tell you which is which before we touch it.
04 What are your hours?
Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm Eastern. After-hours work is a 3-hour minimum at 300% of the standard rate — so we plan launches inside business hours.
05 Will we get documentation?
Every store change is documented in an online knowledge base you can read and search. After 180 days of inactivity it's converted to a PDF and handed over.
06 Can we pay in equity?
No.
Clarity before code.
