Business Central & Shopify, delivered together
One team implements the ERP, builds the storefront and connects them — so commerce is designed into Business Central from day one, not bolted on after go-live.

The Shopify side is not the whole story
Most Shopify integrations stall on something inside the ERP: a posting group that was never set up, an item master that cannot be mapped, dimensions nobody agreed on. When ERP and commerce are separate projects, those problems surface after the ERP has gone live and been signed off.
Implementing both together means the item master is designed knowing it will feed a storefront, posting groups are designed knowing Shopify payouts will land against them, and dimensions are designed knowing you will report on channel.

What goes live, and when
We phase it — and the phasing is agreed in design rather than improvised in month four.
Discover, everything at once
Finance, inventory model, order to cash, warehousing, returns and commerce requirements — documented together. The catalogue design is settled here because it constrains both the ERP item master and the storefront.
- week 1–4
Business Central configuration & migration
Company setup, posting groups, dimensions, number series, locations, sales and inventory setup — then master data migration and cleanup through configuration packages.
- week 3–12
Storefront build, in parallel
The Shopify build runs alongside the ERP configuration, against the catalogue structure agreed in discovery.
- week 5–14
Business Central go-live first
The ERP runs on its own for one full month end. Finance settles, the item master stabilises, and the team learns the system without storefront pressure.
- week 14–18
- gate: one clean month end
Integration & storefront go-live
Connector activation, full process UAT through the real storefront, cutover and launch — with transaction monitoring across both systems.
- week 18–22
Support & optimisation
Hypercare across the ERP and commerce stack together, then ongoing support: integration issues, BC and Shopify changes, new requirements, reporting and additional channels.
- week 22 onward
What a full commerce implementation costs
That covers a Business Central implementation at mid-market scope, a configured premium storefront and the full integration. Manufacturing, WMS, multi-entity, multi-currency, heavy historical migration or a custom theme each move it up — assessed in discovery before the number is fixed.
Business Central licences are bought directly from Microsoft in your name. Shopify fees, theme licences and app subscriptions are yours too — none are marked up by us.
Published guidance suggests budgeting 1.5–2.5× your annual BC subscription for the initial implementation — a useful cross-check against any quote, including ours.

Common starting points
Outgrown the accounting package
Multi-location stock, real inventory costing or manufacturing requirements QuickBooks cannot carry. We migrate customers, items, inventory, prices and opening balances — and stand up commerce at the same time.
Moving to the cloud
GP to Business Central is a route we have run many times — the natural moment to replace whatever eCommerce integration was bolted onto GP over the years.
Retail moving to BC
An RMH estate moving to Business Central with Shopify in front of it. We build and support x2x RMH integrations, so we know exactly where the seams are.
