Search Engine Optimization (SEO) In collaboration with a team of senior online marketing executives, we have made sure that our solution is up to date with the latest search engine requirements so that they can understand, follow and index your online store. Fully flexible URL structure Define the URLs like you or your SEO expert would like to have it without any restrictions. The URLs can be based on navigation and can be overruled on page level and multilingual support is available. Page title (H1) and Meta title (browser title) on product list pages with facet values By default Sana will generate the page title and Meta title of a product list page with the selected facet values. Sana is one of the first products that has this feature available: out of the box without any manual effort. Editable page title (H1) and Meta title (browser title) on all pages For product list pages, the titles will be automatically enriched with the facets values. In case you need something custom, you will always have the possibility overwrite the page title and browser title for each page or product. Furthermore, .aspx is removed at the end of all URLs so that they will have higher values in the search indexes. Paging dropdowns on product list pages are changed into links so search engines can follow and index them. In addition, language dropdown are changed into and ordered lists with links so again search engines can follow and index those aspects. Plus, we have created specific pages so that you can easily track the number of subscribers and unsubscribers for the newsletter subscription in Google Analytics. In addition, Per facet it is configurable whether the result page will be indexed by the search engines. We allow you to do this so you can prevent too many URLs in the index of the search engine. A true omni-channel approach: LS Retail Connector Our partnership with LS Retail allows you to take the next step in serving your customer both offline and online: a true omni-channel approach. Together with LS Retail, we enable a seamless online web shop experience fully leveraging NAV and LS Retail, which is exactly in line with the POS within the retail store. Offer support and basket calculations Using the LS Retail Connector, all basket calculations will be done by LS Retail logic; discount, multi-buy discount, mix & match, total discount and line discounts will be triggered in the web store basket. Just like in your physical store, your customer will be able to see those discounts in the online basket. Multi-dimension variant support Items with multiple dimensions will be visible and orderable in the web shop. The variant can be chosen on the product detail page by selecting the dimension values in the dropdown boxes. Show offers on product detail pages Offers that can be configured have a description. Sana will take this single line by default to show on the product detail pages. Using the Sana Commerce front-end editor you can translate and enrich these descriptions. By doing this, you can add attractive content to the product detail pages. It’s as simple as that. Coupon support You can trigger LS Retail offers by using a coupon. Simply enter the coupon (either barcode or coupon code) on the basket page. Sana will automatically check whether the entered coupon is a Sana promotion or LS Retail coupon. As a result it will enable the offer in the basket. Sales tax / VAT support As of now, Sana will send the customer address information to Microsoft NAV or AX during the basket calculation. This customer address is entered during a new registration or when creating a new shipping address in the shop. With this address information, the ERP is capable of calculation the sales tax and/or shipping cost in the ERP. This address information is also needed for third party add-ons like Avalara that base their calculation on the shipping address of the customer. Multiple sales tax / VAT lines support When available, multiple sales tax or VAT lines will show in the basket. With this feature a customer will have a good overview of the sales tax/VAT. Sales tax / VAT presentation settings You can optimize the web store for the desired scenario using the sales tax / VAT presentation settings. You can either show only the total sales tax/VAT or break it down into separate lines. Plus, you can show or hide the incl. and excl. sales tax / VAT totals, show totals above or below the breakdowns, and define which field should have the focus (bold). There’s more The latest release of Sana Commerce includes more: automatic image resizing, reorder button on order history, multi-lingual and enrichable product attributes, product title in quick order autocomplete, themed error pages, NL address template, translation system for multi-language store and wildcard search support.
