Methodology

A practical guide to integration architecture, platform fit and the questions to ask before you choose.

Selection

A platform is included when it has a documented, maintained integration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — either built by the vendor, by Microsoft, or by an established connector vendor — and real production customers on that integration. General ecommerce platforms without a credible BC path are left out.

Ordering

The overview lists platforms alphabetically. The platform finder orders a shortlist according to your answers and explains its suggestions. The comparison dimensions (integration architecture, commerce focus, hosting, PIM, pricing model) are chosen because they are the questions that actually separate the options.

Sources

Facts are compiled from vendor documentation, Microsoft AppSource listings and Microsoft’s own Business Central documentation. Pricing is described as a model (subscription, license, quote-based) rather than figures, because figures rot and quotes vary.

Commercial context

This guide forms part of marketing for Abakion solutions. Platform information is drawn from published documentation; this is not an independent market test. Check the current scope and terms with the relevant vendor.

Corrections

If a fact about your platform is wrong or outdated, corrections are welcome and are applied when they can be verified against documentation.
