Omnichannel vs. Unified Commerce

Connecting the dots

Enough with the disjointed shopping experiences! Omnichannel might have united physical stores and online shopping, but it left us juggling between separate systems. Unified commerce steps up by seamlessly weaving together mobile, POS, and websites. Imagine this: snagging shoes online and effortlessly returning them in-store, all while your payment info stays magically linked.

And here comes Adyen's Unified Commerce solution, armed with the superhero cape called DataConnect. This feature takes on the challenge of scattered data, making sure even if customers keep it incognito in-store, unique payment IDs step in, giving us a full 360° view of how customers shop. For customers, it's not just shopping that's connected – it's a smooth, seamless experience that feels like a perfect fit.

DataConnect

A game-changer in Unified Commerce

DataConnect is a tool that taps into the magic of special payment codes like PAR identifiers and card aliases. Basically, it makes linking online and in-store transactions a breeze – no more fussing with old-school stuff like email IDs or loyalty membership numbers.

Now, why should you care? Well, this tool isn't just a fancy upgrade; it's like a secret weapon for businesses. Imagine taking all that transaction data and seamlessly plugging it into CRM systems. The result? A goldmine of insights that businesses can use for super-targeted marketing and loyalty programs. It's like giving businesses a crystal ball to make smarter decisions and create personalised experiences that really hit the mark with customers.

Here's the real kicker – DataConnect is like a mind reader for customer behaviour. It helps businesses understand how people shop, so they can tweak their marketing to fit each person. This isn't just about keeping customers; it's about boosting the bottom line. More personalised marketing means more revenue.
