Explore our guides and examples to integrate Limio.

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. Self-service allows customers to view their orders and manage their subscriptions, including switching, cancelling or re-activating their subscriptions.

To get started, you will need to have a Limio account created. Contact us to create one, you will then be able to invite your colleagues to collaborate.

How Developers interact with Limio

Developers will typically interact with Limio in different ways than business users, for example, they will:

• Create new experiences via Custom Components in React or TypeScript, leveraging the Limio SDK. See more details below on this core use case.

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

  • Authentication Schemes, necessary for certain operations

  • Catalog API to retrieve Limio Catalog data

  • Objects API to retrieve Limio Subscription data

  • Retrieve abandoned baskets to create abandon basket email campaign

• Configure webhooks to be notified of certain events.

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

Custom Components retrieve information about the catalog, the user, the subscription, the cart and more via the Limio SDK. It also allows to integrate third-party APIs . 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 CI/CD pipeline, and GitHub for versioning, all without needing to log into the Limio application.

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.
