Shopify Dynamics AX Integration
Connect Shopify and Shopify Plus to your existing Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta) environment. SDG scopes the integration around your AX version, customizations, legal entities, and operating workflows, with a separate plan for any future Dynamics 365 migration.
Experience behind the work
Start with the AX version and the available services
An AX 2012 integration needs its own technical assessment. Microsoft distinguishes AX document and SOAP services from the data-entity endpoints used in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.
Explore the details
AX 2012 also has an OData query service, which should not be treated as interchangeable with the newer OData service. We verify the installed version, exposed services, authentication, custom fields, and middleware before selecting the connection pattern. See Microsoft’s service endpoint comparison.
Define who owns each Shopify and AX data flow
The integration plan identifies the authoritative system for products, variant identifiers, prices, stock, customers, orders, and fulfillment.

It also maps warehouses, legal entities, currencies, tax, discounts, and returns where they are in scope.
For example, a Shopify order needs a stable reference in AX; a retry should not create a second sales order. Inventory updates need an agreed freshness target and a process for detecting differences. We turn those decisions into mappings, acceptance criteria, and monitored integration flows.
Evaluate an AX connector against your actual workflows
A connector is a starting point to evaluate, not proof that every workflow is covered.
Explore the details
Discovery should test support for your AX release and customizations, expected transaction volume, error visibility, retries, duplicate prevention, reconciliation, and support ownership.
Consider an illustrative failure: Shopify accepts an order while AX is unavailable. The integration needs to retain the failed handoff, alert an owner, and recover without duplicating the order. Rehearse that recovery before launch, alongside the successful order path.
Keep the AX integration and Dynamics 365 migration distinct
A Shopify launch does not have to assume a simultaneous ERP replacement.
Explore the details
We can scope the current AX connection and document which mappings, interfaces, tests, and operating responsibilities would need review during a later move to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. Bring your AX version, middleware, custom-service inventory, legal entities, and order-volume requirements to discovery. Our Shopify ERP integration guide explains the wider planning framework.
Frequently asked questions
Can you integrate Shopify with Microsoft Dynamics AX?
Yes. SDG integrates Shopify and Shopify Plus with Dynamics AX (Axapta), syncing products, pricing, inventory, customers, orders, and fulfillment while AX remains the system of record.
How do you connect to Dynamics AX?
We first verify your AX version and available services. For AX 2012, that may include AIF document services or SOAP custom services through middleware. AX’s OData query service is distinct from the OData service in Dynamics 365; the appropriate read and write interfaces depend on the installed environment.
Is AX the same as Finance and Operations?
No. They are related product generations with different integration interfaces. We scope an existing AX connection separately from a move to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, then identify what would need to change during that move.
Does SDG have hands-on Dynamics experience?
Yes. We integrate the Microsoft Dynamics family with Shopify for enterprise clients, with senior engineers accountable end to end.
