Therefore, these various SNS platforms have become extremely important tools for businesses.

Sakurabook can also be linked to SNS such as Instagram and Facebook. However, it is not actually a function of Sakurabook itself,Shopify itself, which is powered by Sakurabook, has a wealth of features for linking to SNS, and it has a mechanism that allows you to take advantage of these features.

Cooperation with video sites such as YouTube

Cooperation with video sites such as YouTube is also very important. It can be said that there are a wide variety of industries where video content is an extremely important medium. Many stores have opened YouTube channels and posted various videos to help attract customers and promote sales.

Of course, it is possible to link these YouTube channels with Shopify and Sakurabook.

YouTube itself has a function to collaborate with Shopify, and has a system that allows you to post Shopify product pages with easy-to-understand thumbnails on posted videos and channel pages, and make purchases directly from there. You can also take advantage of this feature with Sakurabook.

Multi-store development through collaboration with “Next Engine”

The first recommendation is cooperation with "Next Engine".

Next Engine is a system that centrally manages order management, inventory management, product page management, etc. not only for Shopify but also for multiple online shops and malls such as Rakuten, Yahoo, and Amazon.

What can you do by linking Next Engine, Shopify, and Sakurabook?

The cases where the greatest benefits can be obtained areMulti-store developmentIt will be.

For example, let's consider a case where you operate multiple online shops, such as not only Shopify, but also Rakuten Market, Yahoo! Shopping, and Amazon. In such a case, the Shopify site will be equipped with Sakurabook and will be able to sell not only products but also various services.On the other hand, when looking at the EC (online mail order) part, collaboration with other stores such as Rakuten Market, Yahoo!

In addition, centralizing product pages is also very convenient.

For example, let's say a store that operates an e-commerce site on Rakuten Market wants to add a store reservation function, so they want to migrate to a Shopify + Sakurabook site. In this case, you will need to re-enter the product data from Rakuten Market, which you are already operating, into your Shopify site. If you have a large number of products, it would be extremely difficult to manually input data for each product, but with Next Engine, you can process it all at once. In addition to migrating from Rakuten Market to the Shopify + Sakurabook site,Multi-store development where two stores are operated in parallelis also fully possible.

Automate operations by linking with ShopifyFlow

Shopify also has an official extension called "ShopifyFlow." Of course, this can also be used in conjunction with Sakurabook.

Send emails with coupons to encourage usage.Automate the flow of email marketingcan.

Various functions can be realized! Possibilities of own EC + reservation site expanding with Sakurabook
