Focus on up to three products →ASK BETTER QUESTIONS
Before you buy ecommerce marketing software.
What to look for
- Use a product with variants and a real cancellation or refund scenario.
- Agree an attribution window before comparing reported return on spend.
- Calculate costs using active profiles, actual sends and peak trading periods.
What changes the cost
- Active or billable profiles and send allowances.
- SMS credits, extra storefronts and data-platform add-ons.
- Migration of live flows, templates and consent history.
What to watch out for
- Taking attributed revenue as proven incremental revenue.
- Sending basket reminders after a completed order.
- Assuming every store connector synchronises the same fields.
Common questions
What should a store integration demonstration include?
A customer, a product variant, an order and a change to that order. Check the resulting segment and journey, not merely the connected icon.
Do I need predictive AI immediately?
First check reliable event data and suppression. Predictive features become useful when they can act on trustworthy history.
Can I compare UK and international storefront costs?
Yes, using the supplier's actual billing currency and destination rates. Keep VAT presentation and exchange exposure explicit.
