Porque é que a integração do comércio eletrónico é importante para o crescimento da sua empresa

Desenvolvimento back-end

eCommerce

Python

In 2023, eCommerce represented over 19% of retail sales worldwide, and by 2027, it is expected to reach nearly a quarter. With the ongoing growth of online shopping, businesses need to adapt by accelerating their operations to hold a competitive advantage. eCommerce integration can be a solution.

Introduction to eCommerce integration

eCommerce platform integration is the process of connecting an online store with various back-end systems, such as inventory management, accounting, sales, and customer relationship management (CRM) tools. Let’s say you run an online clothing store. When a customer submits an order, the eCommerce system automatically updates the inventory, reduces stock levels in real-time, and sends the order details to your accounting system for invoicing. At the same time, the CRM updates the customer’s information, allowing you to send personalized offers in the future. This is how eCommerce integration can help.

Why is eCommerce integration valuable?

eCommerce integration is about connecting your e-store with other systems with data smoothly flowing between them. This cuts down the number of manual tasks, maximizing operations speed and minimizing the risk of inaccuracies. For example, instead of manually updating stock levels after every sale, inventory can be automatically adjusted Instantly, preventing stockouts or overselling. Orders can be processed faster as data from payment, shipping, and customer systems sync up instantly with fewer delays caused by manual data entry.

Through eCommerce platform integration, companies can boost operations across departments — reducing operational friction, improving accuracy, and scaling efficiently.

Benefits of eCommerce integration

eCommerce integration solutions bring together diverse systems like payment gateways, inventory management, or customer relationship tools. An example of eCommerce integration is an online store that integrates its website with payment gateways like PayPal, allowing customers to complete purchases securely. Integrating with CRM tools like Salesforce really helps businesses get a clearer picture of what customers want. It makes it so much easier to create personalized marketing campaigns and provide quick, tailored support.

With integrated systems, all key data — from sales figures to inventory levels — are updated in real-time. Amazon integrates its eCommerce platform with inventory management, providing real-time stock updates for accurate product availability and efficient fulfillment. This means that when a customer makes a purchase, the system instantly reflects the available stock across all sales channels, preventing overselling or stockouts.

Automation of repetitive tasks like inventory updates, order processing, and customer notifications reduces manual labor for employees while delivering faster processing and more reliable service to the customers. For instance, if a customer adds products to their cart but doesn’t complete the purchase, Mailchimp can trigger an automated email to remind them to complete the transaction.

eCommerce integration lets customers have a consistent experience across all touchpoints, whether shopping online, on mobile, or in-store. Data like order history and preferences are unified, allowing customers to pick up where they left off, regardless of the platform. Sephora’s integration across its website, mobile app, and physical stores allows customers to easily switch between browsing products online, checking in-store availability, or making purchases from any platform.

Knowing a customer’s preferences, purchase history, and behavior allows businesses to send tailored promotions, offers, and recommendations, which can drive loyalty and satisfaction. Salesforce can use a history of purchases and browsing to trigger automated targeted marketing campaigns to make sure customers receive appropriate content through personalized offers or suggestions of products to encourage them toward repeat purchases and brand loyalty.
