sales reports
With a Merchant Solutions plan, you can glean valuable business insight from our sales reports, where you can view your order totals, number of items sold, revenue generated, average order size, inventory levels, and more. With these reports, you can see how your business is performing, then fine-tune your marketing strategy based on this analysis. Learn more.
search directory
A search directory is a catalog of websites organized by category to allow users to easily browse for the information they need. Unlike search engines, which locate and display relevant information based on a defined formula using an automated software program, search directories are organized by real people who discover new sites and relevant information by exploring the Web themselves and reviewing email submissions. A successful submission to a search directory can help bring traffic to your website.
search engine
A search engine, such as Google, is an online tool that helps users of the World Wide Web find the sites and information they're looking for. Most search engines use automated programs (sometimes called crawlers) to look for relevant information based on keywords entered by the user, and search not only websites' content but also their web addresses, number of pages, and links. Search engines are one of the top ways users can find your web site or online store. Learn how to promote your site.
search reports
With a Merchant Standard or Merchant Professional plan, you can use our two search reports. The Searches tool shows you what your visitors have searched for, which can help you understand your customers, which products are popular, and where your site can improve. Though this may not directly relate to your store, you can use this information to inform how you select new products. Learn more.
server
A server is a computer attached to a network whose function is to provide (or serve up) data or other resources to client computers. A web server, for example, sends web pages to the Internet when asked for them by a browser. Other kinds of servers you might encounter are email servers (which manage email distribution), application servers (computers that run applications used by other computers), and workgroup servers (which allow multiple users to share data).
service announcements
Whenever we make changes to our system, improve your Turbify tools, or become aware of any other issue that might affect your site, we want you to be the first to know. We'll notify you immediately by posting a New Service Announcement alert at the top of your My Services page or Web Hosting, Store, WordPress, or Email Control Panels.
shopping cart
If you have a Merchant Solutions plan, we automatically create a shopping cart and customer checkout pages for your store. You can customize these pages to make them visually consistent with your store design, as well as add custom messages, fields, gift wrapping choices, cross-sell recommendations, multiple payment options, and more. You can also save customers' shopping cart contents for two weeks, giving them multiple opportunities to complete their purchase.
signature
A signature is a personalized footer attached to the end of an outgoing email message. With business email's Signature feature, you can automatically add personal contact information, a quote or favorite saying, or anything you'd like at the end of your outgoing email messages. Your signature will be attached only to messages you send using the Yahoo interface. To learn how to add an email signature in your own email program, please refer to your client's help files. Learn how to add or edit an email signature.
Simple Promotional Email
The Simple Promotional Email tool is an easy way to start marketing your store, allowing you to announce your grand opening to friends and family, or to advertise special promotions or new products. Before you can use Simple Promotional Email, your store must be open for business. Learn more.
single-use coupons
Single-use coupons are coupons that may be redeemed one time only. Once a coupon has been redeemed, the coupon code will no longer be accepted during checkout. Single-use coupons are created in series, and each series may contain a maximum of 50,000 single-use coupon instances. For example, if you'd like to target a specific customer segment with the same offer, you may wish to create these single-use coupons as a series, to easier keep track of the coupons created with this offer, orders associated with this series, conversion rate, and revenue. Learn more about single-use coupons.
SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for sending email on the Internet. Most email programs use SMTP to send messages from one computer to another; the messages can then be retrieved with an email program using POP. You can think of POP and SMTP as two sides of the same email coin: SMTP sends your email; POP retrieves it. This is why you need to specify both the POP and SMTP settings when you set up your email software. Learn more.
Snapshot Backups
Snapshot Backups provide a convenient, automatic way to save copies of your web site files without using valuable disk space. When you create your site, you automatically activate Snapshot Backups, which stores a copy, or takes a snapshot, of your web site files every four hours, nightly, and weekly, recording changes to your files. These backups can prove useful if you need to restore a lost or damaged file, or even if you'd just like to review changes made to your site. Learn more about Snapshot Backups.
spam
Spam is any message or posting, regardless of its content, that is sent to multiple recipients who have not specifically requested the message. Spam can also be multiple postings of the same message to newsgroups or list servers that aren't related to the topic of the message. With business email, we automatically filter emails we detect as spam into your Spam or Bulk folder. Learn more.
SSH (Secure Shell)
SSH refers to both an application and a protocol for accessing networked computers securely. One can use an SSH client (a computer program) to sign in to and complete tasks on another computer in the network, while the SSH protocol - used alone or in combination with other protocols - is often used when the secure transmission of data is required, such as in sending files or remotely accessing another computer. Turbify does not currently support SSH access; however, we hope to offer this feature with your Web Hosting or Merchant Solutions plan in the future.
SSI (Server Side Includes)
SSI is a scripting language commonly used in web sites to display the contents of one page in another. You might use SSI to include contact information at the bottom of every page of your site, for example. Although SSI directives can be added to HTML pages, they are not supported by all servers.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
SSL is an accepted standard protocol for transferring information securely across the Internet. It encrypts data passed between the server and the browser, ensuring that unauthorized parties cannot interpret sensitive, confidential, or personal information such as phone numbers and addresses. Learn more.
Statistics
If you have a Merchant Solutions plan, you can use our Statistics to keep tabs on your sales and traffic. Available statistics include:
Merchant Standard and Merchant Professional customers also receive search-related statistics, as well as Click Trail Reports that show customers' paths through their sites. Learn more.
status
When you set up a business email address for someone, that person's address will change from one state (or status) to another. If the user's status is active, the user has accepted your invitation and started using the email address; if the status is pending, the user hasn't activated the address. If the status is pending, make sure the person received your invitation (did you send it to the correct address?), and if it did arrive, remind the user to get started! If it didn't arrive, you can resend the invitation. You can check a user's activation status from your Email Control Panel.
status update emails
If you have a Merchant Solutions plan, we'll automatically send status update emails to your customers as their orders are processed and shipped. These updates help keep customers informed, which means they'll be less likely to contact you with questions about the status of their order. Learn more.
Store Editor
The Store Editor is a free store-building tool for those with limited experience creating web pages or who want to get a small store up-and-running quickly. With the Store Editor, site building is as easy as clicking through a web page, completing online forms, and choosing a design for your site. If you're familiar with HTML, you can also create customized templates using RTML. Learn more about Store Editor.
store tags
Store tags are pieces of HTML code that you can insert into your pages, which will dynamically access your Catalog Manager data and display it on your site. Any time you change an item in Catalog Manager, the information will be automatically updated wherever you've used store tags to display the product on your site. After you've signed up for a Merchant Solutions account, you can access the Store Tag Hub, which includes instructions on using store tags, access to all of your store tag codes, and product merchandising page layouts that you can use for your site. Learn more about store tags.
subdirectory
See directories.
subdomain
A subdomain, also known as a third-level domain, is a great way to create memorable web addresses for various areas of your web site. For instance, Yahoo uses subdomains such as mail.yahoo.com and music.yahoo.com to distinguish its services. Web Hosting makes it easy to create subdomains. Learn more about subdomains.
symlink
A symlink, or symbolic link, is a type of entry that can be used in Unix-based computer systems to refer to another file or directory. The symlink is an alias for the other file or directory, and can in some cases function as a shortcut to that element. Symlinks are sometimes used to help navigate complicated file systems or to trick restrictive software applications into interpreting files a certain way. Turbify does not support the use of symlinks on members' sites.
