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.  For example:
  

  <script type=text/javascript>
  _uacct = "YOURACCNTNUMBER";
  urchinTracker();
  ##GOOGLECONVERSIONTRACKING##
  </script>

3/24/08

• FEATURE: Avalara (AvaTax) Tax Integration:  We are able to pull rates down to the street address and Avalara can even write checks to every taxed region for the client.  Editing an order updates the tax amount on record with Avalara, and cancelling or declining an order voids it in Avalara.  Setup fees apply for configuration changes.
