CoreCommerce Integration: How to Connect Your Online Store to ManyChat

To be the best you’ve got to set your business up for success, and having the right marketing automation software is essential to beat out the competition. 

Three-quarters of all companies already use at least one marketing automation tool, while 76% of marketers see a positive ROI within a year of implementing marketing automation into their business. 

While other eCommerce software offers general automation guidance, nurturing prospects with highly personalized, useful content has — until today — been far from easy. 

When connecting ManyChat with the CoreCommerce platform, you can simplify and automate marketing tasks and workflows, to increase efficiency, build relationships with customers, and grow revenue faster.

Here’s a handy walkthrough to get set up, today. 

Why connect your CoreCommerce store with ManyChat?

Five key perks you get from connecting ManyChat to CoreCommerce are: 

  • Turn store visitors into subscribers. ManyChat’s Growth Tools let you build high-converting opt-in tools that are optimized for maximum engagement. Display your most attention-grabbing offers. Adjust the design, timing, and placement, then publish it to your site with one click. Grow your subscriber list fast.
  • Create an engagement marketing engine. Use Flow Builder to connect with customers through SMS, Messenger, and email. It’s the easiest way for merchants to build multi-channel drip campaigns, send post-purchase follow-ups, collect feedback, increase conversions, and drive sales. 
  • Reach higher-value customers with your social media ads. Use customer data from your online store to create Facebook and Instagram ads that expand customer reach and increase sales. Track interactions and ROI inside the ManyChat in real-time to see which ad strategies make you the most money. 
  • Sell more products with personalization. Get access to robust workflow automation tools that increase revenue and recover lost sales. Create personalized offers based on user behavior and purchase history. Send abandoned cart messages on Messenger, SMS, and email to automatically follow-up with people who leave your store without buying anything. 
  • Offer real-time customer service through Live Chat. Let a human talk with store visitors, anytime, anywhere. With ManyChat’s mobile app (available in the App Store and Google Play), you can chat with customers from your phone to help solve problems and make sales.
