What can eCommerce Integration do for sales? 

Streamline sales 

It’s common sense to make paying for courses as easy and flexible as possible. Ideally, you can offer learners multiple payment method options and the chance to automate purchases through auto-enrollment. To do that, you need technology that can handle a diverse customer base with an adjustable tax rules engine.

Once you’ve made your sales, use integrated analytics to build out informative dashboards. Tie together orders with learner data to better understand where your sales are coming from—then make strategic changes using the same platform. 


Bespoke sales rules 

Develop your sales strategy with flexible prices and access rules. Give different users the ability to make single or multiple downloads, limited-time or permanent course access, and make sure your users are seeing the right prices for their demographic when they log-in. 

Lambda Suite comes equipped with cart price rules, which make it easy to create discounts and coupon codes. Depending on your marketing strategy, make your discounts valid for timed periods, certain quantities, percentages-off, or product tied offers. The online store also has the ability to auto-generate group rules, so that codes cannot be shared, and will only work with users who meet the conditions you set out.

What can eCommerce Integration do for marketing? 

Synchronize marketing and learning 

Never waste time replicating content again! With eCommerce integration, one-click pulls all of your courses, categories, images, descriptions and meta text from your LMS directly into your online store. Once your store is populated, organize it with category and subcategory trees, which make it easy to visualize how your courses will appear to users. 

Integrating LMS and eCommerce makes building a product, adding it to your store, and make it live for users one seamless process. At any stage along the way, add additional marketing content, shipping information, or change pricing and visibility—even customize your store’s HTML code.
