Multi-Channel

MSGreenTec® BC2Shopware supports multiple Shopware Sales Channels simultaneously. Each Sales Channel can be individually configured.

Concept

In Shopware 6, a Sales Channel is an independent sales avenue (e.g. B2B shop, B2C shop, marketplace). MSGreenTec® BC2Shopware maps each Shopware Sales Channel as a single Shopware Channel record in Business Central – combining both the technical configuration (API connection, pricing, taxes) and the business configuration (order comment, etc.) in one place.

Shopware Channel

The Shopware Channel contains the configuration for communication with a Shopware Sales Channel.

Fields

Field Description
Channel ID Auto-increment number (PK)
Description Channel description
ShopChannel ID Shopware Sales Channel UUID
Active When disabled: the channel is excluded from all sync operations (price sync, inventory sync, order import etc.)
Item Template Item template for new items in this channel
Last Get Orders Timestamp of the last order import

Price Configuration

Field Description

Customer Price Group Customer price group for legacy prices
VAT Bus. Posting Group VAT business posting group for gross/net calculation
Shopware Default Rule ID Shopware rule ID for volume pricing

The available rules come from the Shopware Rule List (Setup Wizard "Reference Data" step → Fetch Rules):

Shopware Rule List

Order Import

Field Description
Apply Voucher as Line Discount Controls how Shopware promotion discounts are posted on BC sales lines – see below
Order Comment Code Standard text added as a comment line to sales orders imported from this channel

Apply Voucher as Line Discount

This field determines how discounts from Shopware promotions (e.g. percentage codes like "−15%") are displayed on Business Central sales lines:

Setting Behavior Display in BC
Disabled (default) The unit price is reduced by the discount amount Unit Price = €99.45, Line Discount % = 0
Enabled The original Shopware price remains visible; the discount appears as a Line Discount % Unit Price = €117.00, Line Discount % = 15%

Note: When Line Discount mode is enabled, the BC total may differ from the Shopware total by a few cents if Shopware rounds the promotion amount internally (e.g. −€21.00 instead of the exact −€21.45). The extension compensates for this difference by proportionally adjusting the unit price of the first line – the displayed line discount % remains exact.

Additional Configuration

Field Description
Customer No. Series Number series for automatically created customers
Dimension Code / Value Dimension assignment for postings from this channel

Shop Item Channel Assignment

On the Shopware Product Card (tab Channels) you define which sales channels a product appears in.

Field Description
Item No. BC item number. When entered, the Shopware Product ID is resolved automatically via the Shop Item BC Item mapping (useful for Rapidstart imports).
Channel ID Linked Shopware Channel
Active Product active in this channel
Visibility All (Search + Navigation), Search Only, Link Only
SEO Main Category The main category of this product in the respective channel. Controls the SEO breadcrumb in Shopware. Click … to select a category.

Shopware Product Card – Channels Tab

SEO Main Category

Shopware uses a mainCategory entity to define the canonical breadcrumb path for SEO. This assignment is channel-specific — the same product can have different SEO main categories in different channels.

Setup:

  1. Open the product card → tab Channels
  2. Click … in the SEO Main Category column
  3. Select a category from the category list
  4. Sync the product (action Sync Visibilities or full product sync)

The internal UUID of the mainCategory entity is generated automatically on first assignment and stored permanently, so subsequent syncs update the existing entity via upsert.

When importing a product from Shopware, SEO main categories are automatically transferred to the channel assignments.
