Once you automatically import your commercetools commerce data into your Dotdigital account, you can start to take advantage of our commerce intelligence tools to enrich your marketing and customer engagement.


Before you start

Things you need to know:

  • You must have a commercetools account.

  • You must be able to provide access to the commercetools API.

    We can help you with this.

  • The integration syncs data one way; from commercetools to Dotdigital.

  • Abandoned carts are not included in the integration by default. Your developers can install the necessary scripts on your storefront and we can assist in troubleshooting and testing.

    Learn more in Setting up abandoned carts and speak to your Customer Success representative.

Synced contact data

Contact records from commercetools are added into a pre-defined list in Dotdigital.

The integration creates contact records in Dotdigital for all contacts present in commercetool’s customer list. The following data fields are mapped by default:

Dotdigital data field

First name

First name

Last name

Last name

Full name

N/A

DOB

Date of birth

Customer ID

Customer ID

Custom attributes

It’s possible to map any custom contact fields you have created in commercetools to a custom data field in Dotdigital.

Mapping of custom fields can be requested during the integration setup process.

Marketing opt-in statuses

As commercetools does not automatically store any marketing or opt in information for contacts, you might be storing opt-in information in a CRM or another platform. If you want to sync opt-in data for contacts you can:

  • Create a custom field in commercetools for storing opt-in information. The integration can use this as a basis to map into a custom data field in Dotdigital, for example, NEWSLETTER_SUBSCRIBE = YES/NO.

  • Consider syncing opt-in status from your CRM or other system to Dotdigital directly.

    Learn more about the other integrations that are available in the Integrations section of the Help Centre.

  • If you’re not currently storing opt-in or consent data, contacts synced to Dotdigital are set to an Unknown opt-in state. You can use Dotdigital to gather and store consent data.


Synced Insight data

Your commercetools product (catalog) and order data are synced into Dotdigital as Insight data collections.
