Integration of Bitrix with an online store
Such stuff as transferring data from orders of an online store to a CRM system is rather widespread. The process is obvious, however not easy. The tricky moment is that an order is a composite entity. Together with the order information, data about the buyer and the goods is transmitted. In addition, exchange of order statuses is ordinarily required.
If you add marketing and statistics for end-to-end analytics , it will cause even more interest.
Here is a scheme :
- The buyer places an order online;
- Our team checks whether such a buyer exists in Bitrix24 or not;
- We check if Bitrix24 has such products available;
- If there is already existing buyer or product, first we create them;
- Next step is that we create a deal in Bitrix24 and link the buyer and products to it;
- We add all the necessary information to the deal;
- When the status of a deal in Bitrix24 changes, the notifications about this are sent to the customer;
- When the status of the transaction in Bitrix24 changes, we change the order status on the website.
There are several methods how to achieve the integration:
- A universal method
The main idea of the universal method is to elaborate a module alongside the online store. Over again, the Bitrix24 REST API becomes effective.Utilizing the capacities of the CMS system on which your online store is designed, we control the order event and initiate sending data about it to Bitrix24. In parallel, we send marketing information and check whether the buyer already exists in Bitrix24.
- A quick method
This method involves the use of e-mail.
When an order has been placed by the buyer, an email confirming the order is sent to him.All the necessary data must be indicated in the body of the email. The company’s email-box is placed in a hidden copy of such a letter. Major point is that this email-box must be connected to Bitrix24.
Then, new leads will be created by new emails (in Bitrix24).
- Integration of an online store on Bitrix with Bitrix24
Orders from online stores are transferred to Bitrix24 in the form of transactions with a contact attached to them. The goods also can be transferred. At a glance, everything is clear and looks cool, however there are some particular moments.
If you try to follow the product link, you will see a red message with words “product not found”. This means that even though the product was created, however, there is no access to it. This is owing to the limitations of the cloud version.
It would seem that there is no access to the product and it’s normal – we can see the name, the price, however we will face particular difficulties if we want to transfer this order to another department.
In addition, change of order statuses is a famous request that cannot be achieved with the help of this method.
