API2Cart vs. Zoho Flow

API2Cart allowed us to save money, time, and development resources by allowing online retailers to interact and utilise store-based information from any of the above-mentioned platforms. When we used API2Cart we were able to get the relevant store information from any of the supported carts into our eCommerce system in a uniform way.

Zoho Flow helps us greatly in connecting other Zoho apps. We use Flow to connect Zoho Creator with Zoho Books so an invoice is created when a record is entered into Zoho Creator. We use Zoho Flow when certain fields containing data in Zoho CRM to send that data over to the Zoho Creator record. We use it to add a contact from the Zoho Creator record to a list in Zoho Campaigns. Zoho Flow has proved very worthwhile.

• API2Cart makes it simple to connect to a variety of e-commerce systems
• API2Cart eliminates the need to create a separate connection for each new platform
• We can now get data on orders, items, customers, and abandoned orders from several e-commerce platforms thanks to API2Cart

Incentivized

• Works with all other Zoho apps to connect them together and share data
• User interface and dashboard are nice. Gives you a detailed look into flow history and/or audit of your flows
• The ability to set logic responses and incorporate custom functions makes the app even more powerful

Incentivized

• There were some initial hiccups in understanding how our program would interact with data stored on multiple platforms
• Custom pluguins must be installed by your customers in order to interface with on-premise e-commerce systems
• Would be nice to get a notice when the subscriber limit has been exceeded

Incentivized

• A deeper resources section, with more "how-to" videos
• More user functionality to tell you when an app fails, and not just after failing 3 or 5 times in a row.
• Maybe add some scenario flows connecting two apps with examples of how the flow works and benefits a user.

I've reached out to the support team several times with assistance requests in Zoho Flow. Each time the team has answered my questions promptly and accurately. And because we are mainly integrating other Zoho apps their teams are perfectly positioned to solve our problems.

We were able to get the integrations we required thanks to the service. Our software's needs were discussed by the team. As soon as feasible, we intended to link our software to Magento, Shopify, eBay and Zen Cart, which we already had established a connection for. For us, API2Cart was a breeze to use. As a result, API2Cart's clients are satisfied, and we are as well.

I've used Zapier and both programs are similar. Zapier has deeper integrations or more apps to integrate with but considering Flow's association with other Zoho apps this does it for us!

• API2Cart's features are extremely beneficial to us and our clients.
• We utilized API2Cart to connect our e-commerce systems and place a number of orders on behalf of our business.
• That made it possible for us to experiment with various different product variants.

Incentivized

• It's part of our Zoho One package, so it's hard to comment on this one.
• Assuming we did pay full price, I would say the ROI would be justified. For our example of sending invoices to Books from Creator saves us a great deal of time.
• It takes a bit of time to configure each Flow but once you get the hang of it the flows really do save time and ensure data quality.
