Introduction

Limio Commerce makes it easy to create a shop and self-service portal, for subscription and one-off products. The shop will allow new customers to purchase a subscription or one-off products.

How Developers interact with Limio

  • Access to retrieve or update data about the catalog or shop, for example:

    • Authentication Schemes, necessary for certain operations

How Developers create new experiences with Limio

Limio Commerce users create commerce experiences by adding Components to the Limio Page Builder. React is the foundational technology behind Limio Components. TypeScript is also supported.

Components can be of two types. Limio Components are off-the-shelf, no-code components, available to business users to quickly create commerce experiences. Custom Components are custom-built by developers to fit unique or bespoke needs, designs or requirements. Both Limio Components and Custom Components can be used in Limio's Page Builder by the marketing, product, and commercial teams, enabling collaboration.

For example, developers may build Custom Components for:

  • Unique pricing display such as a pricing matrix or a price calculator

  • Verifying user information such as their account status to redirect them to the most appropriate offers

  • Check availability and deliverability of a product in a third-party fulfilment platform

  • Surface an exit intent popup that adds a promo code to the cart

  • Create a custom cart component to automatically add a promo code when two products are added (bundle & save)

  • Surface upsell options in self-service for a subset of subscribers

Not a developer?

Limio can be used by marketers, product manager, and commercial teams without the need for developers by using standard Limio Components.

Limio also maintains out-of-the-box, configurable integrations with Zuora and other systems, documented on our help desk portal. Limio has a separate Limio for Salesforce application that can assist agents to perform subscription commerce operations in Salesforce.

Custom Components retrieve information about the catalog, the user, the subscription, the cart and more via the . It also allows to integrate . This allows you to build more powerful or personalised experiences.

Custom Components are designed for web developers to build with ease, using familiar tools such as Visual Studio, Storybook, CircleCI for , and GitHub for versioning, all without needing to log into the Limio application.
