solidus_kustomer

This extension allows you to integrate your Solidus store with the customer support application Kustomer via solidus_tracking.

Installation

Add solidus_kustomer to your Gemfile:

gem 'solidus_tracking', github: 'solidusio-contrib/solidus_tracking'
gem 'solidus_kustomer', github: 'nebulab/solidus_kustomer'

Bundle your dependencies and run the installation generator:

bin/rails generate solidus_kustomer:install

Usage

Once installed the extension will provide access to a SolidusKustomer::Client with the ability to interact with Kustomer KObjects.

This client is used interally via solidus_tracking to track relevant Solidus events to make them appear on customers' timelines.

Preparation

This extension assumes that your Kustomer organization have already present the following Klasses:

• order

Events tracked

The events tracked by default are:

• order_finalized

Creating customers on Kustomer

If you want to automatically create a customer on the Kustomer app upon account creation, you can set the identify_customer_on_creation configuration flag to true:

# config/initializers/solidus_kustomer.rb

SolidusKustomer.configure do |config|
  # ...
  config.identify_customer_on_creation = true
end

Newly created users will be automatically identified (registered as customers) on Kustomer.

Development

Testing the extension

First bundle your dependencies, then run bin/rake. bin/rake will default to building the dummy app if it does not exist, then it will run specs. The dummy app can be regenerated by using bin/rake extension:test_app.

bin/rake
