Why StoreConnect Beats Shopify for Salesforce Users: 4 Key Reasons

Shopify is often hailed as the go-to for starting an eCommerce business, and for good reason. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for simple set ups.

But here’s the catch: 60% of Shopify stores fail within the first two years (Statista 2023).

Why? Because scaling becomes a nightmare. As your business grows, you’re left piecing together third-party apps, dealing with clunky integrations, or facing the daunting task of re-platforming.

Enter StoreConnect, built natively on Salesforce, the #1 AI CRM for businesses that want to start and scale. With all-in-one features like eCommerce, Point of Sale (POS), subscriptions, and loyalty programs, StoreConnect eliminates headaches and empowers you to grow without limits. No silos, no plugins, no re-platforming nightmares. Just smooth sailing as you conquer new markets and dominate your industry.

Now, let’s dive into why StoreConnect is the ultimate Shopify alternative for Salesforce users.

1. Fully Native in Salesforce (no clunky integrations!)

One of the biggest pain points with Shopify is its reliance on third-party apps or middleware solutions like eSync or Workato to integrate with Salesforce. These tools often lead to frustrating issues such as data duplication, deletion, and corruption. It’s a problem echoed by business owner, Michelle, in a recent Trailblazer group chat:

“We scrapped Shopify sync altogether after that one ruined, duped, and deleted so much data.” – Michelle

In contrast, StoreConnect is built natively within Salesforce, providing full integration without relying on unreliable third-party connectors.. This means no more worrying about broken links or lost information during critical business operations.

2. All-in-One: eCommerce, POS, Subscriptions, Loyalty, & More

Shopify’s modular structure requires businesses to rely on numerous third-party apps to achieve functionality beyond basic eCommerce. As another business owner pointed out in the same discussion:

“Shopify holds their order line data in a comma-delimited format… You have to loop through each variable and parse the order of each value in each variable, just to create a single line item in SF. I HATE Shopify’s data model.”

This complexity not only increases development time but also adds unnecessary layers of technical debt. With StoreConnect, all essential functionalities, including eCommerce, point-of-sale (POS), subscriptions, loyalty programs, and more, are unified into a single platform.

This simplifies workflows and ensures consistency across all touchpoints.

3. Eliminate Third-Party Apps & Reduce Costs

The cost of maintaining multiple apps and plugins can quickly add up, especially when combined with the labor-intensive process of manual data entry.

While manual input might seem manageable for smaller businesses, it introduces human error and scales poorly as operations grow.

By consolidating everything under one roof, StoreConnect helps businesses save both time and money.

According to our internal research, companies using StoreConnect report an average reduction of 30% in operational costs compared to those relying on Shopify integrations.

4. No Lost Data, No Manual Entry, No Frustration

Data integrity is paramount for any business, yet Shopify integrations frequently fall short in this area. As Michelle again noted:

“Someone manually inputs the orders now because the Shopify sync was too unreliable.”

Manual entry isn’t just tedious, it’s prone to errors and inefficiencies. StoreConnect automates the entire process, ensuring accurate, real-time synchronization between your eCommerce store and Salesforce CRM.

This eliminates the risk of lost or corrupted data, giving you peace of mind to focus on growing your business instead of fixing integration issues.
