Register the webhook handler app
If you want to enable synchronization of product modifications made in Shopify back to Business Central, you need to register the webhook handler application. This application acts as a proxy between Shopify and Business Central, translating Shopify requests into a format that Business Central can recognize and accept.
To register the webhook handler app for your BC SaaS environment, follow the provided steps:
Click the
button, enter Shopify Integration Setup and select the related link.Select Actions, followed by Initial Setup > Azure Active Directory OAuth > Register Webhook Handler App.
Running this action registers the NaviPartner Shopify webhook handler app and prompts for administrator approval/consent.This action needs to be run by a user who is both an Azure Active Directory administrator and a Business Central administrator. You won't be able to run Shopify webhooks until this action is completed.Click the
button, enter Shopify Store, and choose the related link.Enable the Auto Sync Item Changes from Shopify toggle switch.
As soon as this option is enabled, you will start receiving Shopify webhook notifications.Each time you create/update/delete a product in Shopify, a new entry is created in the Shopify Webhook Notifications administrative section in Business Central. The records are automatically processed in Business Central via a job queue which is by default set to be run every minute.
Once the Shopify Webhook Notification is processed in Business Central, the changes will be displayed in the Shopify Integration section of the relevant Item Card.
The following information is updated:
- Integrate with This Store - determines whether the item is integrated with the store
- Shopify Status - the status of the product in Shopify (draft/active/archived)
- Shopify Name - the contents of the product’s Title field in Shopify
