OpenCart Connector for Business Central

Key Features

Inbound order and customer sync: OpenCart orders create or match BC Customers and post as Sales Orders or Sales Invoices with line-level mapping

Outbound product and category publishing from BC Items to one or more OpenCart catalogs

Bi-directional inventory and price sync so stock and pricing stay aligned and overselling is prevented

Multi-store OpenCart support — each store mapped to its own BC location, dimension and price list

Tax and shipping mapping: OpenCart tax classes and geo-zone shipping translated to BC Tax Groups, Tax Areas and shipping items

Delivered as a per-tenant AL extension — table extensions, page extensions and a dedicated Integration Setup page

Event subscribers on Sales and Item events plus recurring Job Queue entries for scheduled, hands-off sync

Idempotent sync engine with sha-based change detection so reruns never duplicate orders or items

Dedicated permission set and a sync log with per-record status, retry and error surfacing

OpenCart REST/admin API integration with optional OpenCart-side plugin for real-time webhook events

Payment-method to payment-term mapping and order-status write-back to OpenCart on fulfillment

Optional Dataverse / Power Platform and Power BI hooks for flow triggers and sync-health dashboards

About this Product

The OpenCart Connector for Business Central is a build-to-order integration that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and supports on your own Business Central environment. It is not an instant AppSource download — it is a per-tenant AL extension we build to match your OpenCart version, store layout and BC posting setup, then deploy to your tenant.

On the storefront side it talks to the OpenCart REST/admin API (and, where required, a thin OpenCart-side plugin for webhook events). On the ERP side it is a proper AL application: table and page extensions, an integration setup page, event subscribers on Sales document and Item events, and recurring Job Queue entries that run the sync on the cadence you choose. Inbound storefront orders are created or matched as customers and Sales Orders/Invoices in BC; product, category and price data is published outward from BC Items; and inventory levels stay aligned so you stop overselling.

We map the awkward parts honestly: OpenCart tax classes and geo-zone shipping to BC Tax Groups / Tax Areas and shipping items, payment methods to payment terms, and SKUs to BC Item No. or item references. Multi-store OpenCart is first-class — each store maps to its own BC location, dimension and price list.

Every install ships with a dedicated permission set, a sync log with retry and error surfacing, and an idempotent design so reruns never double-post. Optional Dataverse / Power Platform hooks let you trigger flows or surface sync health in a Power BI dashboard. You get the source AL, a runbook, and a support window. Delivery is typically 2–4 weeks depending on field-mapping and customization scope.

Per-tenant AL extension (.app) built for your Business Central version, installed on your environment

Integration Setup page with credentials, store mapping, sync schedule and field-mapping configuration

Dedicated permission set and Job Queue entries configured for your chosen sync cadence

Optional OpenCart-side plugin/module for webhook events, where real-time triggers are required

Post-deployment validation pass against a sandbox or pilot store before go-live

Defined support and bug-fix window with an option to renew

Who this is for

OpenCart Merchant on Business Central

Runs one or more OpenCart storefronts and uses BC as the system of record. Wants orders flowing into BC automatically and stock kept accurate without manual CSV exports.

Operations / Fulfillment Manager

Owns order-to-cash and warehouse accuracy. Needs reliable order capture, inventory alignment per location, and a visible sync log when something fails.

BC Partner / Internal IT Lead

Responsible for the BC tenant and its extensions. Prefers a clean per-tenant AL app with a permission set, Job Queue scheduling and source code over fragile middleware or manual scripts.

Frequently Asked Questions about OpenCart Connector for Business Central

How long until the connector is live on my environment?

Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from the time we confirm your field mappings and get API access to OpenCart and your BC sandbox. Simple single-store setups land toward the shorter end; multi-store catalogs with custom tax, shipping or payment mapping take longer. We build against a sandbox first, validate on a pilot store, then promote to production.

Is this an AppSource app I download and install myself?

No. This is build-to-order. ECOSIRE develops it as a per-tenant AL extension tailored to your OpenCart version and BC posting setup, and we install it on your environment for you. There is no public AppSource listing or self-serve download for this product.

What does ongoing support and updates cover?

Every build includes a defined support window for bug fixes and configuration help. Because you receive the source AL, you or your BC partner can also maintain it. We offer renewable support for BC version upgrades (the regular Microsoft release waves), OpenCart upgrades, and new mapping or feature requests as scoped change requests.

How does it avoid duplicate orders or double-posting inventory?

The sync engine is idempotent. It uses stable external keys and change detection (sha-based comparison) so re-running a sync, or recovering after an error, matches existing records instead of creating new ones. The sync log shows per-record status so any skipped or failed record is visible and retryable.

Can it handle multiple OpenCart stores and multiple BC locations?

Yes. Multi-store is first-class. Each OpenCart store maps to its own BC location, dimension and price list, so stock, pricing and order routing stay correct per store. We agree the store-to-location mapping in the field-mapping workbook during the build.

What access do you need from us to build it?

OpenCart REST/admin API credentials (and admin access if a storefront-side plugin is needed), plus a Business Central sandbox with appropriate permissions to install a per-tenant extension. We confirm tax, shipping, payment and SKU mapping rules with your team before development starts.
