WooCommerce Salesforce Integration and How It Can Benefit You

Top 10 Benefits of a WooCommerce Salesforce Integration

WooCommerce is growing rapidly, and the sales platform is used by both B2C and B2B companies to display and market their products. Salesforce ranks as the top customer relationship management, or CRM, software. [1] Companies that use WooCommerce include at least 3.3 million active eCommerce websites. [2] However, WordPress integration alone is not enough. CRM software and WooCommerce applications require full integration with other business applications to provide the greatest range of business services and customer features.

WooCommerce users manage their content and web design with WordPress, and we can perform a Salesforce eCommerce integration with WooCommerce through Clarity’s Connect integration platform. Clarity’s integrations provide robust bi-directional and real-time integration for improving and automating business processes.  These processes include but are not limited to login authentication, tiered pricing look-ups for B2B customers, automated quotes and sales orders, real-time inventory stock checking, pushing customer web behavior into Salesforce contact activities for better sales insight, and a whole lot more.

Benefits of Integrating Salesforce Software and WooCommerce

 

The top benefits of WooCommerce Salesforce integration vary among different types of businesses, but the following benefits rank at or near the top for B2B operations using the WordPress integration platform:

1. Better Lead Generation

BI integrations can identify social media activities, product preferences, and customer service and product browsing history. Salespeople can nurture their leads with automated marketing, timely reminders, and information about new products. Assigning the right lead to the right salesperson is also important, and integration can automate this task based on employee skills, sales closing rate, or the salesperson’s proximity to the customer for making a direct sales call quickly.

2. Understand the Customers

Automation can boost sales by managing routine tasks automatically such as gathering information from multiple databases, tracking customer behavior, warning staff when human intervention is necessary, and sending marketing messages based on customer profiles, seasonal buying habits, and special events. Other routine tasks include collecting customer information, filing sales reports, and checking out legal issues and contract terms from previous sales.
