Description
Describe the issue
The banking connectivity apps list (Connectivity App Definitions, src/Apps/W1/ConnectivityApps) promotes Continia Payment Management for NL, DK and NO. Continia has replaced Payment Management with Continia Banking as its bank-integration product for Business Central, so the curated list now points customers at a superseded product in those three markets — and offers no Continia option at all in the six further markets where Continia Banking is published on AppSource (AT, CH, DE, FI, GB, SE).
Two concrete defects in the registrations as they stand today:
- The provider support URL is dead. All three Payment Management entries use
https://www.continia.com/inspiration/solution-usage/connect-your-banks-to-business-central/, which now returns HTTP 404. A customer clicking through from the banking apps list reaches an error page. - The AppSource links promote a retired product. The offers behind the three entries are the Payment Management listings, not the product Continia is now shipping and supporting.
Continia is already a participant in the Connectivity Apps program — Payment Management is registered in this list today — so this is an update to an existing participant's registrations rather than a new onboarding.
Expected behavior
The banking connectivity apps list should offer Continia Banking in every localization where Continia publishes it on AppSource, with working AppSource and support URLs, and should no longer promote Continia Payment Management:
| Localization | AppSource product | App id |
|---|---|---|
| AT | Continia Banking (AT) | 5028cc6e-2288-4894-84a0-5934504a660c |
| CH | Continia Banking (CH) | 99f643c2-bf89-4fe2-bb3a-e2a380635faf |
| DE | Continia Banking (DE) | 009dc3e3-3080-4e48-92fc-1bc7a0ef4caa |
| DK | Continia Banking (DK) | 62235b56-656d-4e85-989b-fd47130bf4e5 |
| FI | Continia Banking (FI) | fb89b25e-b8be-4d31-b509-a29de965f12b |
| GB | Continia Banking (UK) | 4b595a5f-4e4f-49fb-9d25-b052a309f9c5 |
| NL | Continia Banking (NL) | f2303be5-5ecd-44db-b4e8-b1be22af4a53 |
| NO | Continia Banking (NO) | e7b8a6d4-3c4e-4f8b-9a6e-8d3b8a6d4f8b |
| SE | Continia Banking (SE) | ffec28be-01ad-4e63-bcee-bed076b3aecc |
All three markets Payment Management covered today (NL, DK, NO) keep Continia representation, and six markets gain it.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a Business Central environment using the DK localization (NL or NO reproduce the same way).
- Open a Bank Account Card and choose the Connect to Banks action, or open the Banking Apps page directly.
- Observe the entry Continia Payment Management (DK) in the list.
- Open that entry and follow the provider support link — the page returns HTTP 404.
- Repeat steps 1–2 in an AT, CH, DE, FI, GB or SE company: no Continia entry is offered, even though
Continia Banking (<CC>)is published on AppSource for each of those localizations (see the table above).
Additional context
- This contribution has been discussed with Søren Alexandersen (Microsoft), who is expecting the PR.
- The implementation is already open as PR #10640, which the automated reviewer has assessed as Accept / Risk: Low / no suggestions. It is waiting only on an approved issue to link to.
- Every AppSource URL the change generates has been verified against the live marketplace: the rendered product name on each of the nine listings matches the name the code derives.
- One detail worth flagging for reviewers: AppSource lists the GB localization as Continia Banking (UK) under offer id
continia-banking-uk, so the product code is passed separately from the BC localization code. Deriving it fromGBwould produce a dead link. - The change is confined to connectivity app registration metadata inside an
Access = Internalcodeunit — no schema, posting, upgrade or persisted-data impact. It affects the discovery/promotion surface only.
Note: this is filed with the bug template because the repository offers no template for connectivity app registration changes and blank issues are disabled. The dead support URL and the retired product links are genuine defects in the current data, but the substance of the request is a registration update — please retitle or relabel as appropriate.

Research direction
Start in src/Apps/W1/ConnectivityApps and inspect the Access = Internal connectivity app registration codeunit. Compare the existing Continia entries with the nine localization, product, and AppSource identifiers listed in the issue, paying special attention to the GB product code. Done means the list contains Continia Banking for all nine markets, uses working support and AppSource URLs, and no longer promotes Payment Management.
