Which one, when
The split is B2B truth versus B2C polish. commercebuild exists because batch-synced storefronts approximate ERP logic — customer prices, real stock, credit rules — and B2B buyers notice every approximation. Shopify exists because consumer buyers convert on experience, and nothing in the Dynamics world matches its checkout and app ecosystem. The Microsoft-maintained connector makes Shopify the safe B2C choice for BC companies; it does not make Shopify a B2B portal. Companies selling seriously in both directions should resist forcing one platform to do both jobs badly.
