Business Central and Shopify, built together
Start with both systems talking to each other, not a project to connect them later.
Moving to a real ERP and launching (or relaunching) online at the same time? Doing both in one project means one plan, one test cycle and one go-live, and a better price than buying them separately.
Three fixed-price packages
Each includes Business Central, a new Shopify store, the connector and 12 months of Duck Care.

FAQ
How much do we save by doing both at once?
The Shopify store and connector cost $24,750CAD $34,650 inside these packages, against $27,500CAD $38,500 on their own, because discovery, testing and go-live happen once.
No e-commerce plans at all?
What happens after go-live
Going live is the start, not the finish. Every project includes 12 months of Duck Care, our post-go-live support, starting the day your hypercare ends. Business Central updates twice a year, plus monthly updates, and Shopify changes constantly. Duck Care means someone who knows your setup is watching when it does.
What Duck Care covers during your first year:
- Help when something isn't working, from people who built your system
- Watching Microsoft's and Shopify's updates for anything that affects your setup
- Keeping your Shopify ↔ Business Central connection healthy
- A regular check-in to catch small issues before they become big ones
Duck Care keeps what we built working. New features and new integrations are quoted separately.
Duck Care is priced at 10% of your project fee for the year, billed monthly.
How fixed price works
A fixed price means a fixed scope. Each package lists exactly what's included and its limits. Business Central and Shopify do a great deal out of the box, and our packages are built around using that rather than rebuilding it. If you need something outside the scope, we quote it before we start it. Nothing is ever billed by surprise.
- You provide: a decision-maker, timely feedback, and your data.
- We provide: the build, the migration, the testing, the training and the go-live, for the price on the page.
