What is Relay Cloud and why is it critical to eCommerce?

 

relay cloud returns automation efficiency productivity

 

Relay Cloud is a post-checkout solution that allows merchants to automate shipping and returns processes to empower customer success. 92% of consumers said they would shop again at a store that provided easy returns. We listened to our customers, and we created Relay Cloud to empower customer service with the tools they need to succeed. Relay Cloud connects to email platforms such as Klaviyo to increase opt-ins, improve deliverability, & increase engagement with your customers. Extend customer lifetime value with Relay Cloud! 

 

Before using Relay Cloud, many merchants leaned on customer success & the customers to initiate. Not only were the teams taking 100% of return inquiries, the technology did not speak to one another, creating a huge burden on Customer Service. Utilizing Relay Cloud decreases Customer Service inquiries, connects siloed technology, & saves critical revenue by offering store credit for returns automatically.

 

The Relay Cloud Difference

Relay Cloud’s feature set maximizes the value of your customers post-checkout, increases efficiency, and productivity. Utilizing their Rules engine, merchants can customize and automate the returns process at the product level. Customize order tracking pages to continue your on-brand narrative, build your email opt-ins, add third-party product upsell recommendations, user-generated content & more! Relay’s ETL, or Extraction Transformation & Load, allows for data mapping to update orders seamlessly.

 

With month-to-month contracts and a white-glove onboarding process, Relay Cloud always works with the merchant to make sure they are getting the most out of the partnership. Their solution is easy to implement, taking an average of 30 days to do so, and is extremely user friendly. Even the least tech-savvy person on your team can utilize data automation with Relay Cloud.

Announcing our Partner of the Month: JASPER!

Announcing our Partner of the Month: JASPER!

In our industry, the creation of solid, valuable, and lasting partnerships is critical to our success. At Redstage, we prize the work we do with our partners, especially those that go above and beyond. This month, we want to highlight the incredible work of the Jasper team and thank them for continuously delivering in what has become one of our strongest and most valuable partnerships. We partnered up in 2019 when Redstage became an officially certified Jasper PIM software reseller and integrator. Learn more about how we work together on Jasper’s blog here.  

With its time-honored industry experience, Redstage is assessing product information needs of online retailers and helping Jasper PIM resell our powerful PIM solution to boost retailers’ online sales and marketing.” 

–Jon Marsella, CEO & Founder, Jasper PIM 

 

What is a PIM and why is it critical to eCommerce? 

PIM stands for Product Information Management software. Managing your product data across the web on multiple channels can be daunting, but it’s also a vital part of staying competitive in eCommerce. A PIM allows you to manage all of your product information from one dashboard with one backend. Whether you have products across multiple marketplaces, multiple websites, or even in multiple languages, a PIM allows you to keep your product information consistent and updated throughout your online sales channels to strengthen your omnichannel marketing 

Before using PIM systems, online retailers struggled with updating data in massive excel sheets or multiple platforms (like eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Rakuten, and more) or in the right language or price for different markets. With the right PIM, online retailers and vendors can unburden themselves from the time-consuming hassle of logging in to multiple websites and updating product information in numerous digital locations. 

You may be asking, Why implement a PIM? Or, “How can we calculate the return on investment of a PIM implementation? By decreasing item returns thanks to accurate product information, increasing your conversion rate, and expanding to other marketplaces and sites with updated product information, you can see huge boosts to revenue across the board. PIM also helps online merchants maintain product authority no matter where your products are featured or sold.

What does this mean for a Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration?

If you’re considering a migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2, know that the Amazon Pay extension is bundled with Magento 2 version 2.2.4 and higher. This means that if you are already using Amazon Pay the migration is seamless, but it also means that if your checkout solution is one of the things holding you back from moving to Magento 2, don’t stress, as there is already one waiting for you.  It also is easy to integrate Amazon Pay with almost any inventory, shipping, or reporting solutions among many, many others. If you’re looking for a trusted agency to migrate your payments and more over to Magento 2, contact Redstage here.
