BigCommerce B2B Integration for Dynamics GP GP price levels, stock and eConnect orders in your web store

ProjectThunder connects BigCommerce B2B Edition storefronts to Microsoft Dynamics GP. We build the storefront and the integration layer between the store and GP. Your GP partner keeps owning the ERP and runs any migration.

What the integration covers

These are the six things a B2B storefront needs from GP:

1. Who is this customer: the GP customer ID behind the login, plus ship-to addresses.
2. What do they pay: standard price levels sync to BigCommerce price lists. With Extended Pricing switched on, the cart asks GP for the price and caches the answer.
3. What can they have: quantity available by site.
4. Place the order: into Sales Order Processing through eConnect, returning a real GP document number. Every order carries an idempotency key, so a retry cannot create a second order.
5. Where is it: fulfillment and shipment status, with tracking where the carrier sends it back.
6. What do they owe: invoice history, open receivables and credit limit from Receivables Management.

Writes go through eConnect. Direct SQL is for reads only, because SQL writes skip GP's business logic.

Ready for Business Central

GP 18.x technical support ends on 31 December 2029. We keep GP vocabulary out of the storefront and the GP logic behind one adapter. When you move to Business Central, that adapter is replaced and the store integration stays. The integration tests we write against the six contracts become the acceptance suite for the migration. Older builds such as GP 10 connect through a small agent on site that talks to GP locally and reaches the integration layer over modern TLS.

How a project runs

Discovery generally takes 4 to 6 weeks. Most projects take about three months including planning, longer when several vendors are involved. Before launch, your own staff work test orders in a GP test company.
