help Microsoft Dynamics 365 Retail FAQ
What happened to the Dynamics 365 Retail product name?
Microsoft renamed Dynamics 365 Retail to Dynamics 365 Commerce in 2020. Current documentation and licensing therefore use Commerce even when an older implementation, article, or integration still refers to Retail.
Does Dynamics 365 Commerce include a point-of-sale system?
Yes. It supports store operations through Store Commerce, Microsoft's point-of-sale application for sales, returns, customer lookup, and inventory tasks. It can connect physical stores with online and back-office commerce data.
How does it connect with Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management?
Commerce uses the wider Dynamics 365 ecosystem for functions such as financial posting, product data, inventory, fulfillment, and procurement. This is aimed at retailers that need store and online transactions to feed the same operational system.
Is Dynamics 365 Commerce the same product as Shopify?
No. Shopify centers on hosted commerce and a large app ecosystem, while Dynamics 365 Commerce is closely integrated with Microsoft's enterprise resource planning and retail operations stack. The Microsoft option is generally considered when a business already depends on Dynamics 365, Azure, Power BI, or Microsoft 365.
