Did you know that integrating a customer relationship management (CRM) system with your WooCommerce store can grow your business by 20-30%?

In fact, Nucleus found (in its 2014 research) that every dollar spent on setting up a customer relationship management system generates $8.71 in return. If you invest in a WooCommerce CRM for eCommerce, you'll realise this ROI in the form of more net revenue (via more sales, upsells, and cross-sells), shorter conversion cycles, improved productivity, better lead nurturing, and customer retention, among other things.

If you're looking to add an eCommerce CRM to your WooCommerce store, you're in luck. Because today we're rounding up ten of the best WooCommerce CRM plugins for the job!

What's the need for WooCommerce CRMs for eCommerce websites?

By leveraging your WooCommerce product, customer, and sales data, a WooCommerce CRM for eCommerce websites can help you drive more revenue. It does so in many ways. For example, among other things, your WooCommerce CRM:

  • Remembers when it's your customer's birthday and automatically sends them a special birthday discount coupon. Your WooCommerce CRM will also know if it's time for your customer to restock a product and will automagically send them a restock email or SMS offer. (These are examples of personalised marketing.)
  • Keeps track of your customers' past purchases and sends them automated emails with curated/similar products that they might want to buy — thereby boosting your cross-selling and upselling revenue.
  • Helps you send personalised offers to customers for the products they just checked out on your store — behavioural targeting.

In addition to facilitating automated communications and targeted campaigns, you can also get business insights like sales forecasting, key metrics like your average customer lifetime value, revenue insights, and more from your WooCommerce CRM. (Not all WooCommerce CRM tools come with such advanced insights, though).

So which is the best WooCommerce CRM for your eCommerce site? Well, each WooCommerce CRM comes with its superpowers. The snapshot below will help you make a quick choice.

  5. Agile CRM – if you want to bring Agile CRM's CRM capabilities to your WooCommerce store, and if you might want your CRM to double up as your helpdesk tool as well.

1. Metrilo

Metrilo (now part of the Sendinblue family) is a WooCommerce CRM that brings together analytics, customer relationship management, and email marketing to your store. So it's an all-in-one WooCommerce CRM perfect for an eCommerce site.

Metrilo's intuitive analytics dashboard instantly tells you your eCommerce store's KPIs like your new customers, top-selling products, customer lifetime value, conversion rates, and real-time revenue, among others. You don't have to understand data science to understand how your store is doing with Metrilo's out-of-the-box reporting. Just log in, and everything from your eCommerce store's funnel performance to ready-to-use actionable insights are available right away.

With its customer profiles, Metrilo helps you know your customers more intimately. Everything that your WooCommerce store has on a customer shows up on their customer profile. This profile tracks each point of your customer's journey with you, from their last purchase to the amount they've spent on your store to their specifics (like if they're a deal hunter). Metrilo's database, on the other hand, helps you make sense of your customers at a macro level. Also, Metrilo automatically adds segments like cart abandoners, power users, deal hunters, and more to your database. You even get an Assistant that can instantly pull up everything you need (data and insights) on any customer!

When it comes to email marketing, Metrilo comes with 30+ filters (like customer activity and the number of orders) to let you segment your contact base. Not just that, once you've created a segment, you can whip up email campaigns right within your Metrilo-WooCommerce dashboard and schedule/send them. Metrilo also comes with email automation. So you can send automated emails to your customers when they sign up, complete a purchase, abandon a cart, and so on.

Pricing: For unlocking the complete Metrilo suite (that brings all its three core functionalities of analytics, relationship management, and email marketing), expect to pay $299/mo.

2. HubSpot for WooCommerce

Built by MakeWebBetter, a premier HubSpot partner, HubSpot for WooCommerce lets you send your WooCommerce data to your free or paid HubSpot account. And then, from your HubSpot account, depending on the HubSpot plan you're on, you can create marketing campaigns like abandoned cart messages and more for your WooCommerce contacts.

Once you set up the WooCommerce plugin, data like the number of products on your store, your total number of customers, and your net number of sales shows up in your HubSpot account. Also, an ecommerce pipeline shows you how your orders/sales are doing. So in one glance, you can see how many checkouts were successfully completed along with the ones that got cancelled, among other things.

A new order is treated as a new deal, and this deal progresses through your ecommerce pipeline. This eCommerce pipeline uses your default Woocommerce order statuses (like shipped, cancelled, refunded, etc.) as deal or order stages. You can sync your historical data as well.

Pricing: Although the basic HubSpot CRM is free, you need to be on a paid HubSpot plan to actually use your WooCommerce HubSpot CRM contacts. If you're selling to 1000 customers (and only need to send about 2000 emails in a month), HubSpot's Starter plan at $50/mo might work for you. However, note that if you want features like behavioural targeting, you need the ($3200/mo) Enterprise plan.

3. Drip

What's more, using this customer information, it lets you send personalised email (and SMS) marketing campaigns at scale. Thanks to its data capturing capabilities, Drip lets you segment your list in many ways so you can laser-target users with offers. Said another way, you can easily reach out to just the shoppers, who, say, made a purchase last week or actually returned to make a second purchase.

From ROI on your current marketing campaigns to projections on how much the one you're creating can make, Drip comes with powerful analytics. It also shows you details on your orders, the new customers that you added, and who your most loyal customers have been, among other things. You can also retarget your Drip leads on their social media accounts.

From there, you can use WP-CRM System's features like MailChimp Sync and others to power your customer relation management ops, like sending them a welcome series via Mailchimp.

As you can possibly tell, WP-CRM System is more of a CRM for a small business into services. But if you can use its add-ons a certain way, you'll be able to create a good CRM system for any online business, including an eCommerce business.

Pricing: Go with WP-CRM extension's Enhanced $199 plan that comes with WooCommerce Connect and all the other extensions this CRM system offers, including Gravity Forms Connect, Slack Notifications, Zendesk Connect, among others.

With WP ERP's WooCommerce integration plugin, you can bring your WooCommerce data straight to your WP ERP eCommerce CRM and manage your customer relationships easily. WP ERP shows you your customers' detailed activity on your store. You can easily sort your contact base to find your highest-spending shoppers or those who rarely buy anything. If you integrate your WP ERP account with your MailChimp account (WP ERP gives a plugin for this), you can push your WP ERP segments to MailChimp and follow up with automated emails.

You can easily build your eCommerce pipeline using your WooCommerce default user and order statuses with WP ERP. For example, if a user creates an account, WP ERP will call them a Lead. When they make a purchase, they'll become a Customer, and so on. With this eCommerce CRM plugin, your WooCommerce customer data tab easily tells you how many purchases a customer has made and how much they've spent on your products.

By adding WP ERP add-ons like Deals and Workflows, you can make your WP ERP WooCommerce CRM do much more.

10. Salesforce Connector for WordPress WooCommerce

If you use Salesforce as the sales automation system for your eCommerce business, then this plugin is for you. The Salesforce Connector for WordPress WooCommerce plugin connects your WooCommerce store with the Salesforce platform so that your WooCommerce data is available inside your Salesforce portal, where you can use it to create follow up marketing campaigns and communications.

Salesforce Connector for WordPress WooCommerce brings (real-time) bidirectional sync between WooCommerce and Salesforce, so changes to any reflect in both.

Pricing: Salesforce Connector for WordPress WooCommerce sells for a one-time payment of $399. On top of this, you'll have your Salesforce subscription fee.

In addition to these WooCommerce CRMS, you can also create a workaround. For example, using a service like Zapier, you can connect your online store with an email marketing solution like, say, Mailchimp and make the two apps work together as a lightweight contact/customer relationship management system. Such integration is also possible via APIs.

Often email marketing services offer their very own official WooCommerce extensions to facilitate the same.
