Salesforce Unveils Ecommerce Storefronts for SMBs

Salesforce has announced a powerful new feature: integrated ecommerce storefronts within its Starter and Pro Suites. These all-in-one sales, service, marketing, and commerce solutions empower businesses to quickly and easily build direct-to-consumer (D2C) online stores—all on the Salesforce Platform.

With the launch of ecommerce storefronts, Salesforce is enhancing the capabilities of growing businesses, enabling them to manage their sales, customer service, marketing, and ecommerce operations in a single, unified interface. This seamless integration allows businesses to streamline their operations, enhance customer experiences, and increase revenue through digital channels.

A Unified Approach to Ecommerce and CRM

With the integration of ecommerce storefronts into the Starter and Pro Suites, businesses now have the tools they need to unify all customer data and touchpoints across these departments.

This unified approach not only streamlines operations but also provides a solid data foundation that prepares businesses for future advancements, including AI-driven solutions like Agentforce. Businesses are now better positioned to offer a seamless, connected experience to their customers—whether they’re managing customer support, running targeted email campaigns, or analyzing customer buying behaviors.

Key Features of Salesforce’s Ecommerce Storefronts

The new ecommerce storefronts come equipped with a host of features designed to help businesses get online quickly and start selling fast. These features include:

1. Step-by-Step Ecommerce Setup: Salesforce offers a streamlined, step-by-step guide to help businesses quickly onboard and launch their ecommerce platforms. This allows businesses to bypass the traditionally long and complex process of setting up an online store and begin selling within hours.
2. Low-Code Designer for Branded Storefronts: With the low-code designer, businesses can easily create visually appealing, branded storefronts that reflect their unique identity without the need for extensive technical expertise.  
3. Centralized Merchandising Tools: Managing products, pricing, and promotions is made simple with Salesforce’s centralized merchandising tools. Businesses can control everything from one platform, making it easier to keep inventory up to date and respond quickly to market changes.
4. Pre-Built Performance Dashboards: To help businesses maximize their revenue potential, Salesforce provides pre-built performance dashboards that offer insights into customer behavior, sales trends, and store performance.

The Growing Importance of Ecommerce

The ecommerce sector continues to play a pivotal role in driving revenue for SMBs. According to recent forecasts, 54% of small business revenue is expected to come from digital channels by 2025, a significant increase from 42% in 2023. With this upward trend, businesses must prioritize their digital presence to remain competitive. Salesforce’s new ecommerce storefronts make this easier than ever, offering businesses the tools to grow their digital channels without the need for additional costs or complex integrations.

By offering a direct-to-consumer (D2C) ecommerce solution within its CRM platform, Salesforce allows businesses to build and manage their online stores with ease. This enables growing companies to reach new customers and drive higher revenue across digital channels, all while leveraging Salesforce’s robust suite of CRM tools.

Why Salesforce Storefronts Stand Out

• Personalized Customer Experiences: By leveraging the combined power of sales, service, marketing, and ecommerce tools, businesses can create tailored customer experiences. This includes offering personalized discounts, streamlining customer support, and executing targeted marketing campaigns based on unified customer data.
• Quick Launch of Online Stores: Time is of the essence for growing businesses. With Salesforce’s built-in setup tools and step-by-step guidance, businesses can launch fully branded online stores in just hours, allowing them to get products to market quickly.
• Streamlined Merchandising and Operations: Managing ecommerce operations—products, orders, pricing, and promotions—has never been easier. Salesforce provides a centralized workspace where businesses can handle all merchandising tasks, streamlining their workflow and ensuring consistency.
• Data-Driven Revenue Growth: With pre-built performance dashboards, businesses can track customer behavior, analyze sales data, and identify growth opportunities.
