1. Log into the Business Manager

2. Click Merchant Tools > HiConversion > Configuration

3. If you have a HiConversion account already, enter your Site ID into the field and click Validate. If validated successfully, the HiConversion preferences will be set automatically. These are visible at the bottom of the configuration page.

End Result

HiConversion’s Salesforce integration is introduced to minimize the effort needed to collect web visitor activity data, to configure site properties, and to enable ongoing optimization without any IT support.

Data Collection

This one time connector activation replaces site tagging required by traditional web analytics solutions.

Virtual Customization

The connector is designed to automatically detect site configuration properties, like conversion goals or page classes.

Site Map

HiConversion’s visual point and click admin interface enables you to customize your setup without any need for additional tagging or IT support.

 

Note: The HiConversion cartridge makes no visible changes to your site by default. In this analytics-only mode, its functionality will be entirely transparent to the user. Run your regression tests to verify normal functionality. If you choose to upgrade to e-Optimizer, changes you have chosen to run on your site will be played by the e-Optimizer engine. Your test cases should be aware of these changes.
