Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central WooCommerce POS — Oliver POS Integration Guide

Oliver POS doesn't have a partnership with Business Central. It supports Business Central the same way any WooCommerce store does — through the MyWorks Sync for Dynamics 365 Business Central, which already syncs WooCommerce orders, customers, and refunds into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in real time (or on the schedule you've configured). Once you understand that, the rest of this guide is mechanical: every sale Oliver rings on the counter writes a normal WooCommerce order, the Business Central connector posts it, and your in-store revenue lands on the same Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ledger as your online revenue. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central does the accounting. WooCommerce is the system of record. Oliver is the till on top.

What Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is, exactly

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's mid-market cloud ERP, deeply integrated with Microsoft 365, Power BI, Power Automate, and the rest of the Microsoft business cloud. The WooCommerce + Business Central connector — MyWorks being the most-deployed — posts orders as BC sales orders or sales invoices.

For our purposes the important thing about Business Central isn't any specific feature — it's that the WooCommerce connector is mature, well-supported, and treats every WooCommerce order as a first-class transaction in Business Central. Oliver POS doesn't add a second Business Central connector or modify the data path. It writes register sales into WooCommerce, and the existing Business Central connector picks them up.

How Oliver POS feeds in-store sales into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

The Dynamics 365 Business Central WooCommerce POS flow inside Oliver is short and predictable:

1. The cashier rings the sale on the Oliver register, scans or selects items, and taps Charge.
2. Oliver prompts to attach a customer — by email lookup, phone-number lookup, or a fresh customer card.
3. The cashier takes payment through whatever WooCommerce payment gateway the store uses.
4. Oliver writes a standard WooCommerce order with the customer ID, line items, totals, sales tax / VAT splits, and payment method.
5. The MyWorks Sync for Dynamics 365 Business Central sees the new order through WooCommerce hooks within seconds.
6. The connector posts a sales order or sales invoice to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with the right sales tax / VAT codes, customer, and revenue/payment-account mappings.
7. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's standard processing runs on the new document — journal entries, payment matching, sales tax / VAT accruals, and any downstream automation you've set up.

End to end, the in-store sale arrives in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central before the customer has left the store (in per-order mode) or as part of the next end-of-day summary (in daily-summary mode). Either way, no manual entry is required.

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central WooCommerce connector — what Oliver rides on

Oliver doesn't add a second Business Central connector or duplicate the sync. The plugin Oliver rides on is the standard MyWorks Sync for Dynamics 365 Business Central, available at myworks.software/dynamics-365-business-central-woocommerce-sync. It's built specifically to handle the WooCommerce → Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central data path, including sales tax / VAT mapping, customer matching, refund handling, and the standard reporting flow.

Setup is identical to setup for any WooCommerce store: install the connector, connect to your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central account, map the chart of accounts and sales tax / VAT codes, and let the initial sync run. Once that's done, every WooCommerce order — including every Oliver POS register sale — flows into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on the same path.

Why pushing in-store sales into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central matters

Most retailers running Business Central on a WooCommerce store have an online-skewed ledger, because online is where the data has historically flowed automatically. The result is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ledger that knows everything about online orders and almost nothing about counter sales. The downstream consequences are real:

• Power BI dashboards are wrong. Power BI pulls from Business Central. If half the revenue isn't in BC, dashboards under-report the business.
• Power Automate flows don't fire. Many Microsoft-stack businesses run Power Automate flows on BC events. A disconnected POS means those flows never trigger on in-store sales.
• Consolidated GL across companies drifts. BC supports multi-company natively; consolidation only works if every entity's ledger is complete.

Push Oliver POS sales through the WooCommerce sync and all of those problems resolve at once. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central sees one revenue stream, one sales tax / VAT-liability total, and one customer ledger across online and in-store activity. The bookkeeper's reconciliation against the bank stops being a forensic exercise. The advisor or accountant works from one source. The dashboard finally tells you what your business is really doing — online and in store combined.

What this is NOT

Oliver POS is not a Business Central partner. There is no co-marketing agreement, no revenue share, and no special Business Central pricing for Oliver merchants. Oliver does not insert itself between WooCommerce and Business Central; the data path is exactly the same one any WooCommerce store uses. Oliver doesn't charge a markup, doesn't add a per-transaction fee on top, and doesn't take a cut of the Business Central subscription. Your Business Central account, ledger, and contract are entirely between you and Business Central.

It's also worth saying that Oliver POS doesn't change the data ownership story. The WooCommerce orders table on your own WordPress install remains the source of truth. Oliver writes into it; Business Central reads from it through the connector. If you ever leave Business Central, the data stays where it has always been — in WooCommerce.

Setup in 4 steps

1. Install the MyWorks Sync for Dynamics 365 Business Central on your WordPress site and connect it to your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central account, mapping the WooCommerce sales, sales tax / VAT, and payment-method accounts to your Business Central chart of accounts.
2. Verify the initial sync completes and confirm a recent online order appears as the expected sales order or sales invoice in Business Central.
3. Install Oliver POS, sign in to the register on your counter tablet, and confirm the customer-capture prompt is enabled at checkout.
4. Run a small live test sale at the counter, attach a customer, and confirm the sales order or sales invoice appears in Business Central with the right totals and sales tax / VAT splits.

FAQ

Will Power BI dashboards include Oliver POS revenue?

Yes. Power BI pulls from Business Central. Once Oliver POS sales reach Business Central through the WooCommerce connector, any Power BI dashboard built on BC's sales data reflects the unified online + in-store revenue.

Does Business Central support multi-entity consolidation with Oliver POS multi-outlet setups?

Yes. Each Oliver POS outlet can map to a Business Central company (BC's entity concept). The WooCommerce connector posts orders to the right BC company, and BC's consolidation tools roll the entities up for group reporting.

Does Oliver POS have a partnership with Business Central?

No. Oliver doesn't partner with Business Central or any other accounting platform. We support Business Central because its WooCommerce connector already pulls orders, refunds, sales tax / VAT, and customers from your store — and Oliver writes every in-store sale into WooCommerce as a standard order, so the same connector picks it up automatically. Your Business Central subscription, your ledger, and your contract stay between you and Business Central.

Does Oliver charge extra to use Business Central?

No. You pay Business Central directly on Business Central's published pricing. Oliver's pricing is a flat monthly POS software fee that has nothing to do with the accounting platform you choose.

Will my in-store and online sales reconcile against one set of books in Business Central?

Yes. Oliver POS writes register sales into the same WooCommerce store that powers your online checkout, so by the time orders reach the Business Central connector they're already a unified order stream. Business Central sees one revenue feed, one sales tax / VAT-liability total, and one customer ledger — no manual reconciliation between an online and an in-store set of books.
