New and Improved Lightning Store in Experience Cloud
With the new and improved Lightning Store developed by Nimble AMS, association members will discover a curated marketplace for all your association products. Whether it's membership, event registration, donation, merchandise, or other unique product offerings, Nimble AMS has organized everything such that associations do not need to create separate stores to display all these products online. Members can freely dive into bespoke shopping with each product type showcased in its optimal format, and checkout these products in Experience Cloud checkout, ensuring a seamless and sophisticated shopping experience. Elevate your member's engagement using this new feature to display unique products, ensuring an optimized shopping experience. When different products are displayed on the new lightning store in Experience Cloud, members can click on their choice of product to trigger the purchase process based on the product type (Merchandise, Event, Membership, etc). For example, the card for Membership Type will start the Join process while the card for Merchandise product will take the member to the Product details page.
