Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.
I have a question regarding Integration with D365 F&O.
I have web stores and I want to schedule data extraction from them to D365 F&O.
Is it possible to do this Integration without using external programs?

Integration with web stores

Yes, of course that F&O allow integration with other applications. There are several ways for sending data to F&O, such as OData services, Dataverse virtual entities, Power Platform connector, data management web services (for bulk import/export) and so on.

And you have many ways how you can design the integration. The simplest way, the other system directly calling F&O (or vice versa) isn't usually good enough, because you'll likely want a reliable solution (e.g. not to lose messages if the target is down or there is a network issue), you want a data transformation (Azure API Management transformation policy, low code with Power Automate or so), logging, load distribution etc.

Therefore you'll need to consider quite a few things before you can design a solution. For example: what data you want to transfer, whether it needs to be transformed, whether a response to the caller is needed, the amount of data and the frequency, which system will trigger the communication, what should happen if communication isn't possible, whether the systems can communicate at all (or you need a middle tier app doing that), licensing and so on.
