5.0.24 - PROD

This is a small release and a stable production version of 5.0, all customers will be rolled up to this version that includes all 5.0 features of previous point releases (5.0.18 and such) and includes some new features of it's own including tighter integration with Google Analytics Conversion and E-Commerce Tracking.  Also included is a new Sales Taxing Engine integration that drives down to the zip code level automatically without keeping up with the tables/rates manually within AmeriCommerce.

NEW FEATURES

4/3/08

• FEATURE: Google Analytics Conversion Tracking – use ## GOOGLECONVERSIONTRACKING## in the end of your Google Analytics tracking script.  Tracks down to the item level and shows up in all of the eCommerce reports in Google Analytics.  As of April 2008, Google has had problems with ecommerce tracking on their newest javascript format, so please use the older urchin format, they provide both and the features are exactly the same.  Note: this doesn't work unless you have a dedicated SSL.  For example:

<script src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type=text/javascript>
</script>
<script type=text/javascript>
_uacct = "YOURACCNTNUMBER";

urchinTracker();
## GOOGLECONVERSIONTRACKING##&#160;
