Abstract : The Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) platform allows e-commerce businesses to create personalized, data-driven marketing experiences on a scale. The research investigates how SFMC addresses major e-commerce problems by utilizing its marketing automation capabilities and its third-party system integration features. The research builds upon existing knowledge by studying methods for developing custom solutions through API-based workflows, data analytics, and AI-powered personalization, as well as their security and compliance requirements. The paper demonstrates how emerging trends like augmented reality (AR) and AI-driven analytics are transforming e-commerce operations within the Salesforce ecosystem. By synthesizing established best practices with real-world business examples, this study demonstrates how customized Salesforce integration enables businesses to build scalable, efficient, and customer-focused e-commerce experiences.
