Similar to WooCommerce or Shopify Plus, you'll need to set up middleware to have Zuora and Salesforce Commerce Cloud integrated together.
Last but not least, we’ll move on to Limio (that’s us!), a startup in the UK helping subscription commerce businesses succeed.
While the other Zuora ecommerce integration options covered above have their own merits, they don’t do subscriptions well natively. You may need to buy add-ons via their app store managed by third-party consultants to piece it all together, which can be a costly and time-consuming process. If something doesn't work, who do you talk? Limio, though, does it natively and easily.
How do you do a Zuora integration with Limio? Well, you don't. Limio has an out-of-the-box integration, seamlessly syncing catalogues, customers, subscriptions and orders between systems. And we make sure to stay updated with Zuora's latest features, so you don't have to. No middleware, no middleman, no app stores, just connect and build your shop.
And we don't just integrate with Zuora. We also integrate with identity systems, entitlement systems, and CRMs like Salesforce.
If you want to minimise the amount of integration and development work required to connect with Zuora, Limio is the simplest, most effective option.
