CRM and eCommerce
In plain words, CRM is a huge database where the data about products, customers, and orders are stored. It allows you to gather the all needed information from your offline shops, online stores, and apps in one place. It drastically simplifies the process of store management and interaction with your customers. So if you have the CRM, its integration with your one or more online stores will be a great solution.
How Magento and CRM Work Together
So, you have a CRM which is connected to your Magento based online store. The process of interaction between Magento and CRM is the following: the user logs in. If he doesn’t exist in Magento database, the data from CRM are extracted and sent to Magento. It’s a useful solution in case you need to transport the data about your customers from your CRM to Magento based online store.
