Google Analytics in Cart Viper

We’ve been working with Chicago internet marketing firm Ecommerce Architects Inc for a number of months and appreciate all their feedback and input into Cart Viper. It was Eric Ellingsen at Ecommerce Architects that suggested we add in Google Analytics tracking to Cart Viper.

This allows the store owner to get a break down of the customer’s interactions within the store and detail analytics about the ecommerce transaction placed via the store.
Now you can see what categories are the most popular, learn which items customers are adding to the their wish list for example.

Cart Viper has 22 different events which are recorded in Google Analytics as the customer interacts with the store. Once they checkout we then record the completed transaction using the Ecommerce Tracking API in Google Analytics.

Tracking supports both the new asynchronous and traditional synchronous scripts available from Google Analytics.
Enabling tracking in your store is as simple as ticking a checkbox.

Multiple Digital Downloads

Based on customer feedback we have enhanced the existing digital download feature of Cart Viper our DotNetNuke eCommerce solution.

Previously only a single file could be added as the product digital download file, however we have enhanced this so an unlimited number of digital downloads can be added per product:

Therefore giving you the flexibility to deliver as many or few files when you are selling digital goods. A further advantage is rather than the admin having to zip multiple files together and creating a large single download this can be split into several smaller downloads.

Then once the order has been placed and has a status of “paid”, the customer will then have the option to download all the associated files securely from their “Digital Download Locker”:
