Without a robust integration, Volusion and Salesforce operate in silos, leading to critical inefficiencies, data discrepancies, and a fragmented customer experience.

  • Manual data entry for orders into Salesforce or ERP leads to delays and errors.
  • Inconsistent customer data across Volusion and Salesforce hinders personalized marketing and service.
  • Lack of real-time inventory synchronization causes overselling and customer dissatisfaction.
  • Sales teams lack visibility into recent customer purchases and web activity.
  • Marketing efforts are generic due to incomplete customer segmentation.
  • Complex returns and refunds processes due to disjointed systems.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mappings: Volusion to Salesforce

Our iPaaS provides a visual mapping canvas to connect corresponding entities and fields between Volusion and Salesforce, ensuring data consistency and integrity.

Order

Represents a customer's purchase.

Volusion Fields

OrderID CustomerID OrderDate OrderStatus TotalAmount PaymentStatus ShippingAddress BillingAddress LineItems (SKU, Quantity, Price)

Salesforce Fields

OrderNumber AccountId EffectiveDate Status TotalAmount BillingAddress ShippingAddress OrderItems (Product2Id, Quantity, UnitPrice) ExternalID_c (Volusion OrderID)

Mapping Notes

Volusion's 'OrderID' should map to a custom 'ExternalID_c' field on the Salesforce Order object for unique identification and upsert operations. Volusion 'LineItems' map to Salesforce 'OrderItems', requiring Product2Id lookups. Payment status in Volusion should be mapped to a corresponding field in Salesforce.
