Gamification in Magento
is a new trend with the long history. The role of games in teaching children was always very important, but the term “gamification” first appeared only in 2002. It means the use of game mechanics, design techniques, and other attributes in non-game environment in order to drive game-like player behavior. Besides mechanics and design techniques, the other game attributes are: gaming psychology, social activities, scripts and storytelling, and other aspects of games. In their turn, social activities consist of titles, leaderboards, public statuses, and other similar stuff. The term “non-game environment” includes customer engagement, work, e-commerce, volunteerism, education, fitness and health, community participation, etc. In its turn “game-like player behavior” implies such things as competition, interaction, engagement, learning, addiction, collaboration, awareness, etc.
Fast registration – Magento extension review
We are pleased to introduce the Magento extension (module) from Firebear Studio – “Fast Registration” which allows customers to register on Magento store just with E-Mail and Password (or event just E-Mail). By default Magento has five required fields on “Create New Customer Account” page: First name, Last name, Email Address, Password and Confirm password. It is really confused and not user friendly at all. Customers spend a lot of time creating an account on a store and only after all the information is filled start shopping. The modern practice shows, that the use of just login(E-Mail) & password positively affects customers behaviour. So now you can apply this feature on you own Magento store, providing your customers with the registration just with login & password!
