Social Networking Applications for Ecommerce

Create applications for the most popular social networking sites, like FaceBook, MySpace and many sites that are powered by the Open Social framework. A social networking application can be shown in multiple areas of a social networking page. For example, you can create a social networking application for FaceBook that displays on a given user’s profile and tab view. The application could contain the contents of your choice, including a list of your products. Social networking applications allow you to add an additional marketing channel. Let social networkers give your products a personal recommendation for all of their friends by displaying your application! Learn more about social networking for ecommerce.

Similarly, the Top Buyers by Amount Spent report shows a pie chart with customers who spent the most. Clicking on a pie slice launches a popup containing the last order the customer made. The report can be filtered by date and exported in CSV format. View more information about Ecommerce Sales Reports.

Ecommerce Shopping Cart Software Enhancements

The latest versions of the SearchFit Ecommerce Shopping Cart Software include a variety of enhancements. Now you can view the gross profit per product when editing a product (Gross profit equals sale price minus cost price). Three new feeds are available on the Product Feeds screen: MSN, Shopzilla and Shopping.com. Much like our existing Google Base Feeds feature, you can now automatically create and deliver your product data to these three comparison shopping engines at a specified interval. Our Product Feeds features will continue to grow and allow you to increase your marketing channels. Web Development features include the ability to show additional pictures per product and add items to product groups using a list of SKU’s. Another web development feature that advanced users may find useful is a built in keyword for XHR requests: DYNAMIC_INCLUDE(LOAD_CONTENT, url=…).

Many new features are on the way and we thank you for your continued feedback. Please let us know how we can help improve your online business.
