5 platforms you can integrate with Zuora (and 1 you should!)
The six providers below can all do ecommerce and handle subscriptions to some degree. For your convenience, we’ll explain how to integrate each one with Zuora.
Adobe Commerce Cloud is a commerce platform designed for B2B and B2C subscription businesses. It includes various features, including native AI, and offers extensive omnichannel personalisation. For example, AI can boost productivity and provide subscribers with personal recommendations based on behaviour, product popularity, and other key factors.
The Commerce Marketplace also offers thousands of premium extensions and applications. These empower you to customise different areas of your company, including order management and customer support. You can also use Adobe Commerce Cloud to monitor multiple sites from a unified interface and deliver a tailored checkout experience to subscribers worldwide.

Adobe Commerce Cloud lists a Zuora application built by IBM IX Consulting on their marketplace.
WooCommerce is an open-source ecommerce platform for businesses looking to sell subscription products and services online and those who want to create stores for others to use. Thousands of online stores worldwide use WooCommerce.
Stores built with WooCommerce can be customised to align with your branding and subscription commerce businesses can use WooCommerce to sell products and services online, using various add-on extensions. .
How to integrate WooCommerce with Zuora
If you’re looking for solutions to help with WooCommerce and Zuora integrations, Skyvia is one option to consider. You may also need to develop an integration to your payment gateway via Zuora's Universal Payment Connector.
Shopify Plus is a highly customisable full-stack platform, allowing you to manage your business from one centralised point. You can integrate various third-party systems into your configuration, which is a significant benefit if you want to make more of your subscription commerce business’s online presence.
Numerous extensions let you provide subscribers with a high-end experience that will keep them engaged and satisfied. With Shopify Plus, you can also access detailed reports and enjoy peace of mind with wide-ranging built-in security.

You will need a middleman service to integrate Shopify Plus with Zuora, like Integrate.io. You may also need to develop an integration to your payment gateway via Zuora's Universal Payment Connector.
Salesforce Commerce Cloud is designed to simplify subscription commerce operations, taking you from setting up a storefront to growing your revenue.
You can build a unique storefront with a wide range of templates and composable storefronts, helping you streamline the process of starting or overhauling a subscription commerce business with an AI-guided setup.
Plus, Salesforce Commerce Cloud features customer acquisition tools to win new business and grow your subscriber base. This can help you deliver a strong subscriber experience across your site, boosting engagement and loyalty.
Real-time insights help you make informed decisions based on accurate data, while social channel integrations make it easier to interact with subscribers on popular platforms. Salesforce Commerce Cloud also provides guided learning to help you get started.
How to integrate Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Zuora
Similar to WooCommerce or Shopify Plus, you'll need to set up middleware to have Zuora and Salesforce Commerce Cloud integrated together. You may also need to develop an integration to your payment gateway via Zuora's Universal Payment Connector.
BigCommerce is a scalable and flexible ecommerce platform designed to support businesses looking to grow their online presence, including those focused on subscription commerce.
It offers a wide range of built-in features that allow for customisation without needing extensive development work. With a strong API-first approach, BigCommerce enables seamless integrations with third-party applications.
It also supports multi-storefront functionality, allowing merchants to operate multiple brands or regional stores from a single account. Additionally, BigCommerce provides enterprise-grade security, ensuring compliance with PCI DSS and other industry standards to protect subscriber data.
How to integrate BigCommerce with Zuora
To integrate BigCommerce with Zuora, you will need a middleware solution, such as Celigo or Tray.io, to synchronise data between the two platforms.
Last but not least, we’ll move on to Limio (that’s us!), a startup 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? Where's the data? How do you track down payments and refunds? Limio, though, does it natively and easily with Zuora.
So how do you integrate Zuora with Limio? Well, you don't. Limio has an out-of-the-box, native integration, seamlessly syncing catalogues, orders, subscriptions and payments 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, no custom development or integration, just connect to Zuora and build your shop.
And we don't just integrate with Zuora. We also integrate with identity systems, entitlement systems, and CRMs like Salesforce. We've sweated the details.
If you want to minimise the amount of integration and development work required to connect with Zuora, Limio is the simplest, most effective option.
