Integrate Magento with SalesForce

Question

What is the best (free) way to integrate salesforce with magento? Basically we want to be able to import the contacts of anyone who buys from our page into salesforce. - I could not find any useful resource other than few apps(paid) on the appexchange

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Directly inserting contact would be more work.

If you want to do it quickly with less effort then try and use Web to lead

If you want to insert into contact and ready to take integration effort then you should call SFDC api and insert contact using SOAP or REST call.

You can do with the rest and soap api but its a time consuming process.Based on my research go for built-in extension.It will save your time and money.You will find lots of vendor but i95devsalesforce features are good and price is fewer than other vendor.. https://store.i95dev.com/magento-salesforce-crm-connect.html
