ACCS is Adobe's cloud-native ecommerce platform that offers flexibility, scalability, and efficiency for delivering digital commerce experiences.

Our integration lets you sync customer data, orders, and product information from your Adobe Commerce store to power your marketing campaigns and program automations.


Before you start

Things you need to know:

  • You must have an Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service store.

  • You need admin access to your Adobe Commerce environment.

  • You should be familiar with Adobe's Commerce Integration Starter Kit and App Builder.

  • This integration requires technical knowledge to set up environment variables and configuration files.

  • The integration syncs new data from the point of installation. Historical data sync isn't currently supported.


About the integration

The Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service integration is designed to work with Adobe's cloud-native commerce platform. Once connected, the integration automatically syncs:

  • Customer data: Synced to your customer list along with data fields for email, first name, last name, and customer group information

  • Newsletter subscribers: Synced to your subscriber list along with data fields for store name, website name, and subscriber status

  • Order information: Including prices, addresses, items, and order details as contact insight data

  • Product catalog: Updates are added to your catalog insight data collection

This data flows into Dotdigital, where you can use it to create targeted campaigns, automated workflows, and personalised customer experiences.

Current limitations:

  • Newsletter subscribers aren't supported in ACCS.
