Because Commerce 365 connects to Magento, you can run your e-commerce directly from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It provides a full-featured product information management system so you can manage item attributes, rich texts, images, videos, categories, and everything else you need to run an online shop, directly from within Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Launching an online shop usually isn’t the problem, but making sure prices, inventories, orders, and invoices are completely synchronized with your ERP can be difficult. That’s why we developed Commerce 365, an ERP-focused e-commerce solution. This extends your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central system with everything you need to sell online and it seamlessly integrates all data with one or more Magento storefronts.
When using Commerce 365 for Magento you have full control over all your attributes in Business Central. The integration is based on the ‘one truth’ principle. All data originates from Business Central and is pushed to your Magento store. You can still overwrite the info in Magento, but there is no need for it.
Product information management (PIM)Commerce 365 includes a full PIM system out of the box. The extension adds all the product information management features you need to manage your Magento catalog, directly in Business Central.
You can add (rich) texts, in multiple languages. You can manage images, videos, and documents. There is an intuitive category management module. (see below)
And, most important, Commerce 365 fully supports the highly flexible attribute mechanism on which Magento is built.
Commerce 365 for Magento enables you to run your Magento e-commerce store(s) directly from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This B2B module adds what you need to run a proper B2B store.
The core application, Commerce 365 for Magento, already adds all PIM functionalities and takes care of synchronizing catalog data, inventory, orders, shipments, and invoices. But, to run a B2B store, you need a few additional functionalities. That is why we have created this second module which extends Commerce 365 for Magento with full support for Dynamics 365 Business Central customer-specific pricing and discounts. And second, this module extends the sales area with complete sales document history.

Commerce 365 for Magento comes with a solid internal PIM module. But sometimes you need more.
When we built Commerce 365 for Magento, we spent a lot of time on the development of the PIM module that is part of the standard product. And we are happy to see that most customers can perfectly well work with that PIM module to properly manage their online catalogs in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. But some customers need more advanced PIM capabilities. Such advanced features can be found in a PIM system like Pimcore. And, probably we will never add most of those features to the internal PIM because it would be complete overkill in functionality for most users.
So we decided to create an additional extension that makes Dynamics 365 Business Central and Pimcore seamlessly work together when it comes to managing your Magento catalogs.
Business Central doesn’t feature any e-commerce functionality in its standard configuration; it’s simply not made for e-commerce. But at the same time, it’s the source for all data related to products, customers, and sales orders. That’s why we developed this extension. With Commerce 365, idyn offers you a full-featured e-commerce suite to be used directly within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-premises and SaaS/online).
There’s no need to learn new software. We believe all your data already sits in Business Central and that’s the application your employees know how to work with. So we just have to extend that application to include everything you need.
After a five-minute set-up you can:
Commerce 365 is an easy-to-install solution. The extension doesn’t touch any existing Business Central functionality, so there’s no risk involved. There are lots of customization options and most customer requests can be fulfilled by using the extensive item attribute mechanism. But there are all kinds of possibilities for partners who want to add lower-level customizations.
Commerce 365 means you can say yes to any customer who uses Business Central, without having to know anything about Business Central yourself. Simply set up your store(s) any way you like, configure Commerce 365 to connect to the Magento REST API, and all data will be uploaded and retrieved automatically.
There’s no need to set up anything for products, VAT, customers, or order processing. Commerce 365 will take care of everything.
Our webshop front-ends are based on Magento 2. This user-friendly, highly customizable e-commerce system is by far the most popular on the market. More than 250,000 shops around the world run on Magento: that’s what we call proven technology.
Commerce 365 for Magento supports Magento versions 2.3 and up. But we highly recommend to always update your Magento environment to the latest available release.
Magento version 1 is not supported.
Commerce 365 is licensed per Business Central company / Magento installation. Depending on the number of store views in your Magento installation you either need the Standard Edition or the Enterprise Edition.
With one license you can connect one Business Central company with one Magento installation.
Every customer receives one additional test license, which can only be used to connect a test/development BC environment to a test/development Magento environment.
Yes, Commerce 365 fully supports the Magento multi-site, multi-store setup. Within Magento you can define as many websites, stores and store views as required. Then just click ‘update websites’ within Commerce 365 to start using these stores in Business Central.
Commerce 365 for Magento uses the standard Magento REST API. All you have to do is to create an integration within Magento, copy the Access Token and fill that in in Business Central.
One of the key differences is that Commerce 365 for Magento is not just a connector. This extension adds all the functionality that is required to fully manage your Magento directly in Business Central. After installation you can manage your complete Magento catalog, customers accounts and web order processing in Business Central.
There are dedicated PIM systems like Pimcore and Akeneo which have much more features than our internal PIM module has. But, for most customers the internal PIM has exactly what they need to maintain a proper Magento store. The PIM module enables you to manage all item fields, images, documents, videos, (custom) attributes and categories.
Commerce 365 offers a Pimcore integration free of charge as an extension of the existing Commerce 365 solution.
Do you want to move to any other PIM system somewhere in the future? No problem. Commerce 365 also supports the use of external PIM systems.
The B2B pricing module enables Magento to make full use of Business Central sales prices and sales line discounts. After installing this module, each customer who logs on to Magento will see their own pricing and discounts. This also includes tiered pricing.
