How Does Marketo Integrate with E-commerce?
Connect your storefront, product data, carts, and orders to Marketo to trigger personalized journeys, recover abandonment, and attribute revenue—across Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, custom carts, and marketplaces.
Marketo integrates with e-commerce by syncing people, products, and orders and listening for commerce events (viewed product, added to cart, checkout started, purchased). Data arrives via native connectors, LaunchPoint apps, webhooks, or APIs. Those events fuel segmentation, cross-sell/upsell, abandoned-cart remarketing, and revenue attribution—so you can prove which programs drive orders, AOV, LTV, and repeat purchase.
Key Integration Building Blocks
The Marketo + E-commerce Playbook
Use this sequence to launch fast, recover revenue, and scale personalization.
Connect → Track → Enrich → Orchestrate → Measure
- Connect your platform: Install Marketo web tracking, set up LaunchPoint/native app, or build API/webhook bridge for Shopify/Magento/BigCommerce/custom.
- Track commerce events: Send product views, add-to-cart, checkout start, purchase, refund, and subscription renewals with user & order IDs.
- Enrich profiles: Map SKU, category, margin band, and lifecycle (first-time vs repeat) to smart lists and scoring.
- Orchestrate journeys: Abandoned cart series, browse recovery, post-purchase cross-sell, replenishment, and win-back with dynamic content.
- Measure what matters: Attribute to orders and revenue (not just clicks). Track AOV, conversion, repeat rate, and subscriber LTV.
