Shopify stores
A separate Shopify Store needs to be set up in Business Central for each Shopify shop you want to integrate with. You can do so from the Shopify Integration Setup administrative section, or you can find the Shopify Stores administrative section with the Business Central search function.
The Shopify Store page contains store-specific settings. You can select whether the integration is enabled with the store, and then pick the integration areas you want to be covered.
