OrderStorm WordPress eCommerce Integrates with Google XML Sitemaps Plugin
OrderStorm WordPress e-Commerce integrates with XML sitemap to allow search engines to easily index all categories and products.
- Denver, CO (1888PressRelease) December 01, 2011 - The latest feature of OrderStorm WordPress eCommerce makes sure that the search engines can efficiently index your entire product catalog. While OrderStorm is a SaaS shopping cart, by integrating with Arne Brachold's Google XML Sitemaps plugin, they ensure that all categories and products can be indexed when the search engines come to spider your WordPress site. With other SaaS solutions, customers leave the main site through a link to make payment and so the search engines cannot see beyond the WordPress pages into the third party database.
OrderStorm WordPress eCommerce has solved this problem by integrating with the Google XML Sitemaps plugin. This new function of the WordPress shopping cart plugin enables the sitemap to include URLs for product pages and category pages in the OrderStorm database and take advantage of custom or 'pretty' permalinks created for your categories and products.
"Now our customers can get all the great features of a big SaaS shopping cart and the content management/SEO advantages of WordPress together," said Jodie Barr, President of OrderStorm. "We have eliminated the need to use client side code, plugins with limited features, and links to third parties. Even though it is SaaS, an end user will never leave and go over to a different website to shop."
How it works: When you install the Google XML Sitemaps plugin and generate the sitemap, it calls a function of the OrderStorm WordPress eCommerce plugin to generate product and category entries in the sitemap. Now the search engines can spider and index your entire product catalog. When products in your database are changed, the sitemap can be rebuilt manually so it is always up to date.
