This project will connect Shopify customers into SharePoint BCS as an External Content Type. The ECT can then be displayed as a SharePoint External List. The ECT is mapped to a Outlook Contact and can be imported into the Outlook application. This makes the customer list portable and available outside of the intranet if needed.

Project development will include:

  • Display customers as a list
  • Allow customers to be imported into Outlook.
  • Allow user to update customer note from Outlook or SharePoint

Project Goals:

  • Demonstrate how to set up a custom BCS connector.
  • Demonstrate how to interact with Shopify via .NET
  • Gauge interest for a more expanded product.
