Many zen cart based e-commerce website owners want to start a forum based on vbulletin software. For those who do not know vbulletin is one of the most popular forum system available in the industry. Its open source.
The problem with starting a forum on an e-commerce website is that your members have to register twice, once at the zen cart store and the other time at your forum. This is not only annoying but can be one of the biggest reasons why your forums will not be very popular.
Forums can provide lot of community based support and can reduce the number of support tickets that are sent for common questions. Vbulletin based forums can also help you in forum based marketing where lot of potential clients can read and ask questions before taking a decision to buy products or services from your zen cart based e-commerce website.
In order to make the customer experience better, its best to have some kind of integration between zen cart and vbulletin.
We can help you do a member registration integration between zen cart and vbulletin. That means if a member registers at Zen cart (they buy something), they automatically get registered with vBulletin based forum and vice-versa. Not only that, we can do a login integration as well. This means that if your members login into their zen cart member area, they get automatically logged into the vbulletin forum. We can also configure the forum such that some special area within the forum is only accessible to registered members. This area can be used to provide “member only” support.
This not only enhances customer experience but also makes your website look more professional. We can also help you integrate your zen cart design into your vbulletin based forum.
