Google Analytics has a great feature - enhanced eCommerce tracking which lets site owners track purchases and also measure the effectiveness of the checkout process. Shika now leverages this tool so that site owners who sell paid courses online can measure performance of their marketing activities. Enhanced eCommerce allows reports like viewing most bought products, seeing which social channels are converting better and even coupon code reports.

We are happy to release Shika 1.3.21 with google analytics e-commerce integration for online payments.

Pay-per-click advertising is one of the most popular and effective tools for marketers. These ads allow marketers to precisely target their audience, create brand awareness, and interact with their consumers. The best part is that this is also one of the most cost-effective ways of advertising for brands.

With numerous social media platforms supporting advertising, it is no surprise that several brands and businesses, and even individuals are making a beeline for getting the word out there.

There are several eCommerce platforms that sell multiple products. Some of these are well-known (Amazon anyone?), while others are obscure. Irrespective of the size and scale of these sites, customers or online shoppers have one primary expectation. And that is to have an effortless checkout process.

So, you have a fundraising strategy to raise money for a cause or an innovative idea. The next step is to market the idea, communicate your value, raise awareness, and draw support. To make your fundraising campaign successful, you should be able to connect with your audience, reward them for taking a favorable action, and make it easy for them to take action (and share it) – in short, make the campaign memorable.

As we continue to make com_api the platform of choice to add REST API support to Joomla, we added an interesting feature that makes it very easy to add Social Login to Mobile Apps based on Joomla.

JFBConnect from SourceCoast is one of the easiest to use social login tools. When a recent project called for a seamless social login across web and mobile we had to enhance com_api to natively allow JFBConnect as one of the ways to perform the login.
