Maximize your Sayl Retail with Google's ecommerce Analytics
Here at Sayl Retail we love analytics. We see it as the most important thing to create progress. Without analytics, we would all be doing just something.
That is the reason why when you log into your Sayl Retail the startpage is the analytics dashboard, because we want that you to be able to track your progress as good as possible.
If you thought that Sayl Retail already gives you all the analytics you could ask for, Google peeps his head through the door. By linking your pop-up shop to your Google Analytics they can show you more about all the product and transaction information, conversion rates, time to purchases and plenty of other data!
