Why teams connect Channelengine and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Channelengine and Microsoft Dynamics NAV share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Channelengine runs the storefront and takes the orders; Microsoft Dynamics NAV owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Backorders, Order documents, Orders, Products (product content) in Channelengine with Companies, Customers, Vendors, Items in Microsoft Dynamics NAV field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Microsoft Dynamics NAV, order and customer detail from Channelengine — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Load Orders and Returns into Postgres or a warehouse for marketplace sales, fulfillment, and margin reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Push product content from a PIM, ERP, or database into ChannelEngine's Products endpoint so listings stay current across every connected marketplace.
  • 03 Keep inventory availability current in storefronts and customer portals.
  • 04 Run parallel sync during a NAV-to-Business Central migration so both systems stay usable.

Common sync patterns

Where Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from Microsoft Dynamics NAV publish to Channelengine, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Channelengine creates the matching record in Microsoft Dynamics NAV with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

What you can sync between Channelengine and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Channelengine objects Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects How this pairing syncs
Backorders Records marking part of an order as temporarily out of stock; create with POST /v2/backorders and read with GET /v2/backorders by merchant reference or since a date. Items Item cards and availability mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Items to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Order documents Invoices and other order documents; retrieved as a paginated, filterable list via GET /v2/orders/documents for finance and archiving systems. Read-only. Sales Orders & Invoices Sales documents created from external orders and read back for posting status. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Sales Orders & Invoices to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders Marketplace and merchant-fulfilled orders; read via GET /v2/orders and GET /v2/orders/new (status NEW), then acknowledged with POST /v2/orders/acknowledge so later shipment, return, and cancellation calls can reference them. Purchase Orders Purchasing documents reconciled with receiving and vendor systems. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Purchase Orders to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products (product content) Catalog records created and updated via POST /v2/products and deactivated via DELETE; use a parent/child variant model where the parent is a non-purchasable blueprint. Written into ChannelEngine from a PIM, ERP, or database. G/L Entries Posted ledger entries replicated to warehouses for finance reporting. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and G/L Entries to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offers (price and stock) Price and stock updates via PUT /v2/offer/stock and the offers endpoints; separate from product content so fast-changing stock can be pushed often, and supports bulk updates across stock locations. Item Ledger Entries Inventory movement history read for stock and costing analytics. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Item Ledger Entries to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Fulfillment records; write with POST /v2/shipments to mark an order shipped with tracking, read with GET /v2/shipments. Pushed back from a warehouse or ERP so marketplaces update the buyer. Dimensions Analytical codes carried on documents and entries for reporting splits. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Dimensions to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Channelengine Microsoft Dynamics NAV Sub-second propagation

DetectionChannelengine notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Microsoft Dynamics NAV as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on modified/timestamp fields, or SQL Server change tracking/CDC on on-premises databases.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Channelengine through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Channelengine: Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.

How the Channelengine and Microsoft Dynamics NAV connectors work

Channelengine

Integration surface
REST API (Merchant API v2); per-tenant base URL https://{tenant}.channelengine.net/api
Authentication
API key passed as the 'apikey' parameter; ChannelEngine recommends sending it in a request header rather than the URL because some webservers log full URLs
Change detection
Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes; product content and offers use change-tracking endpoints (GET /v2/products/data and /v2/products/offers) with an acknowledge pattern that returns only changed records, plus polling GET /v2/orders/new
Capabilities

Rate limits
Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV
