ProjectThunder connects BigCommerce B2B Edition storefronts to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, online or on-premises. We build the storefront and the adapter that asks Business Central for live B2B prices and credit at the cart. Your Business Central partner keeps owning the ERP.
Why the cart asks Business Central
Business Central ships with a Microsoft connector for Shopify. There is no Microsoft connector for BigCommerce. The standard API v2.0 has no pricing entity, so a resolved customer price needs a custom API page or a codeunit that runs the price calculation. Exported price files go wrong on quantity breaks, campaigns and bill-to accounts that differ from the shopper. Catalog pages show a cached price, and the cart, quote and checkout use the live one.
What we build
- Custom API pages inside your own extension, plus a thin service the storefront calls.
- Caching for the storefront and retries for background jobs, so a busy day on the store does not throttle the ERP.
- Orders that return the real Business Central document number, with an idempotency key so a retry cannot create a second document.
- A sandbox where the next April or October update runs before it reaches production.
- Where a packaged connector or middleware fits your catalog and order flow, we keep it and build only the price and availability piece.
Already integrated?
If your store reads standard Business Central pages as web services, SOAP access to those pages was switched off in version 29.0 and OData access goes in 30.0. Moving to custom API pages fixes both.
Moving from GP or NAV
Your Dynamics partner moves the ERP and its data. We replace the GP or NAV adapter with one built on Business Central's API pages, and the existing storefront keeps taking orders.
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.
