LS Central¶
LS Central is a retail management software built as an extension on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It extends Business Central with Point of Sale (POS), inventory management, customer loyalty, and eCommerce capabilities specifically designed for retailers.
Modules to be determined
Which specific LS Central modules Zwerfkei will use has not yet been decided. This will become clear once the blueprint is finalised.
Role within Zwerfkei¶
LS Central runs on the same Business Central instance and provides the retail layer on top of the core ERP. For Zwerfkei, the relevant areas are:
- POS management — in-store sales processed through LS Central POS terminals, synced with inventory in Business Central.
- eCommerce integration — connecting the Zwerfkei online storefront to LS Central data (items, pricing, stock, orders).
eCommerce integration options¶
LS Central's eCommerce module provides tools and connectors to link online sales channels with the LS Central/Business Central back-end.
| Integration type | Description |
|---|---|
| LS Commerce Services + eCommerce API | Unified API layer for headless or custom web shops. Preferred for custom integrations. |
| Shopify connector | Real-time sync for inventory, pricing, items, customers, and orders via Shopify APIs. |
| Magento connector | Available in standalone (SOAP) and Commerce Services-based variants. |
| Marketplace connectors | Regional platforms (e.g. Shopee) for product, pricing, and order data exchange. |
| Third-party / custom | BigCommerce, WooCommerce, or fully custom solutions via the eCommerce API. |
The eCommerce API provides a unified interface for building custom or headless commerce solutions, giving full flexibility over front-end and commerce logic — which aligns with the Zwerfkei architecture.
