The Tinx connector allows you to send Sales Document PDFs (such as invoices, confirmations, or other customer documents) from Business Central to your webshop or sales platform using the Document field type in the message mapping.
This feature is commonly used by clients who sell school-related products, supplier goods, or who want to include formal documentation with the order data flowing back to the webshop.
The document is automatically converted to a base64-encoded string and sent via a REST API call to the connected platform.
Platform Compatibility
This functionality can be used across multiple platforms, provided the endpoint accepts file content or base64-encoded data:
-
WooCommerce – Works with custom REST API endpoints that accept document fields.
-
Shopify – File sharing is supported via GraphQL staged upload API.
-
Magento – Supports document attachments via its REST API.
-
Amazon Seller Central – File/document uploads are possible via the Selling Partner API.
Actual implementation depends on each platform's capabilities and your setup. The Tinx connector provides the flexibility to configure this as needed per sales channel.
To activate this:
-
Configure your message mapping to include a field of type
Document -
Ensure the PDF is generated and stored in BC in a supported way
-
The connector will encode the document and send it in the outbound message
