You might run into situations where you need to troubleshoot issues when synchronizing data between Shopify and Business Central. This page defines troubleshooting steps for some typical scenarios.

1. Choose the  icon, enter Shopify Shop, and choose the related link.
2. Select the shop for which you want to troubleshoot to open the Shopify Shop Card page.
3. Turn off the Allow Background Syncs toggle.

Now, when the sync action is triggered, the task runs in the foreground. If an error occurs, you get an error dialog with a Copy details link. Use the link to copy information to a text editor for further analysis.

The logging features can make it easier to identify why an error occurred. On the Shopify Shop Card page, in the Logging Mode field, you can specify the level of detail you want to capture about errors. The field provides the following options:

• Disabled - Don't log information about errors.
• Error Only - Log only the error message, without the request/response pairs. This setting is the default for new shops.
• All - Log the request/response pairs for all transactions, including those that were successful. Logging all errors continuously can slow down Business Central. Use this mode when the data exchange doesn't result in error, but you want to get more insights about the data that was actually sent and received. Note that some data is always logged, regardless of whether logging is turned on. For more information, see Data capture.

1. Choose the  icon, enter Shopify Log Entries, and choose the related link.
2. Select the related log entry, and then open the Shopify Log Entry page.
3. Review the request, status code and description, and response values.

 Tip

If you must contact Shopify support for help with troubleshooting, note the information in the Request ID field. That information can help support resolve the issue more quickly.

You can download the request and response values as files in a text format.

To help keep the size of your database under control, log entries are included in a data retention policy named Shopfy Log Entry. Retention policies let you specify how long you want to store different types of data. By default, Shopify log entries are kept for one month. To learn more about retention policies, go to Define Retention Policies.

Also, on the Shopify Log Entries page, you can delete all log entries, or just the entries that are older than seven days.

Regardless of whether logging is turned on, some Shopify responses are always logged. You can inspect or download the logs from the Data Capture List page.

Choose the Retrieved Shopify Data action on one of the following pages:

• Shopify order
• Shopify order line
• Shopify fulfillments
• Shopify order shipping costs
• Shopify order transactions
• Shopify return
• Shopify return line
• Shopify refund
• Shopify refund line
• Shopify payouts
• Shopify payment transactions
• Shopify transactions

For optimal performance, the connector imports only customers, products, and orders that were created or changed after the last synchronization. On the Shopify Shop Card page, there are functions that change the date/time of the last synchronization, or completely reset it. This function ensures that all data synchronizes, rather than just the changes since the last sync.

This function only applies to syncs from Shopify to Business Central. It can be useful if you need to restore deleted data such as products, customers, or deleted orders.

If Business Central won't connect to your Shopify account, try to request the access token from Shopify. You might need to request a new token if there were changes to the security keys or required permissions (application scopes).

1. Choose the  icon, enter Shopify shops, and choose the related link.
2. Select the shop for which you want to get the access token to open the Shopify Shop Card page.
3. Choose the Request Access action.
4. If prompted, sign in to your Shopify account.

The Has AccessKey toggle is turned on.

To work correctly, the Shopify Connector extension requires permission to make HTTP requests. HTTP requests are prohibited for all extensions when you run tests in sandbox environments.

1. Choose the  icon, enter Extension Management, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the Shopify Connector extension.
3. Choose the Configure action to open the Extension Setting page.
4. Make sure that the Allow HTTPClient Requests toggle is enabled.

The following procedures describe how to rotate the access token used by the Shopify connector to access your Shopify online shop.

1. From your Shopify Admin, go to Apps.
2. Select Delete in the row with the Dynamics 365 Business Central app.
3. Select Delete in the message that appears.

1. Choose the  icon, enter Shopify shops, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the shop for which you want to rotate the access token to open the Shopify Shop Card page.
3. Choose the Request Access action.
4. If prompted, sign in to your Shopify account, review privacy and permissions, and then choose the Install App button.

To calculate prices, the Shopify Connector creates a temporary sales document (quote) for a temporary customer (Shop Code) and uses the standard price calculation logic. If a third-party extension subscribes to events on a temporary sales document, the header might not be available. We recommend that you contact the extension provider. Ask them to modify their code to check for temporary records. In some cases, they just need to add the IsTemporary method in the right place. To learn more about IsTemporary, go to IsTemporary.

To verify that the problem is caused by a third-party extension, use the Copy information to clipboard link in the error message and copy the content to a text editor. The information contains an AL call stack, where the top line is the line where the error occurred. The following example shows an AL call stack.

AL call stack:

[Object Name]([Object type] [Object Id]).[Function Name] line [XX] - [Extension Name] by [Publisher] 
...
"Sales Line"(Table 37)."No. - OnValidate"(Trigger) line 98 - Base Application by Microsoft
"Shpfy Product Price Calc."(CodeUnit 30182).CalcPrice line 20 - Shopify Connector by Microsoft
"Shpfy Create Product"(CodeUnit 30174).CreateTempProduct line 137 - Shopify Connector by Microsoft
"Shpfy Create Product"(CodeUnit 30174).CreateProduct line 5 - Shopify Connector by Microsoft
"Shpfy Create Product"(CodeUnit 30174).OnRun(Trigger) line 12 - Shopify Connector by Microsoft
"Shpfy Add Item to Shopify"(Report 30106)."Item - OnAfterGetRecord"(Trigger) line 2 - Shopify Connector by Microsoft
"Shpfy Products"(Page 30126)."AddItems - OnAction"(Trigger) line 5 - Shopify Connector by Microsoft

Remember to share the AL call stack information with the supplier of the extension.

On the Shopify Shop Card page, in the Customer Template Code field, choose the template that has Gen. Bus. Posting Group populated. The customer template is used to create customers and to calculate sales prices on sales documents.

On the Shopify Shop Card page, turn on the Allow Data Sync to Shopify toggle. This setting helps protect the online shop from getting demo data from Business Central.

You may have used the Embed App, where the client URL has the format: https://[application name].bc.dynamics.com. The Shopify connector doesn't work for Embed Apps. To learn more, go to Which Microsoft products work with the Shopify Connector?.

Contact Shopify support within seven days of experiencing this error, and provide the Request ID. To learn more, go to Shopify.

The user who requested access doesn’t have the rights to manage apps (the ability to manage and install apps and channels, as well as potentially approve app charges). You may be able to resolve this by installing the app as the account owner. Alternatively, you can check the App permission for the user in the User and permissions settings in your Shopify admin.

The updated version of the connector requires more permissions (application scopes) than the user who requested access has. You might be able to resolve this by installing the app as the account owner. Alternatively, you can check the App permission for the user in the User and permissions settings in your Shopify admin. If the required permissions are missing, which you can see in the error message, ask the account owner to grant the required permissions.

Request a new token because the updated version of the connector requires more permissions (application scopes). To learn more, go to Request access token.

Request a new token because the updated version of the connector requires more permissions (application scopes). To learn more, go to Request access token.

It seems that you tried to get an access token multiple times. Make sure that the browser allows pop-ups. If you're using a sandbox environment, verify permissions to make HTTP requests.
