Most of the data configured in this module requires information from your 3rd party tool provider so that Vizzi can use these services with all the necessary information.
- Click the “Settings” tab in the navigation menu (left of the screen);
- In the "SOCIAL" tab, if applicable, enter data for integration with the following third-party tools:
- Facebook: by adding Facebook credentials ("Facebook client ID" and "Facebook client secret") your frontend users can authenticate to your service using their Facebook credentials.
In order to set this option, you will need to register a Facebook App and configure it accordingly prior to setting the Vizzi backoffice settings. To achieve this, please refer to the Facebook official documentation here;
- Facebook Pixel: when configuring your "Facebook Pixel ID" it will be possible to analyze and measure the effectiveness of your advertising based on the actions that people take on your site.
For more details on the Facebook Pixel, please refer to the Facebook official documentation here;
- Google: to allow frontend users to authenticate using their Google account, enter the "Google Client ID” and “Google Client Secret”. To obtain this data, you will need a Google developer account. For more information on how to achieve this, please check the Google’s official documentation here;
- Twitter: another option for your users to authenticate to your frontend is through Twitter integration. To configure it, fill in the “Twitter API Key” and “Twitter API Secret” fields. Please refer to the official Twitter documentation to learn how to get the data for integration.
- Facebook: by adding Facebook credentials ("Facebook client ID" and "Facebook client secret") your frontend users can authenticate to your service using their Facebook credentials.
- In the "MONETIZATION" tab, the configuration to monetize with Vizzi can be made;
When using the monetization module Vizzi provides, by default, integration with the Stripe Payment Processing platform. This is the default payment platform for monetizing your content on a subscription or transactional basis.
In order to set this option, you will need to have a registered Stripe account prior to setting the Vizzi backoffice settings. To achieve this please refer to Create your Stripe account, note that for evaluation or testing purposes you can create your account in sandbox/testing mode without making the account live.
When ready fill in the "Stripe public key" and "Stripe secret key" fields using the API keys gathered here.
For more details, please refer to Stripe's official documentation here.
- In the "ANALYTICS" tab, if applicable, configure the Google Analytics integration;
By setting up Google credentials ("Google analytics application ID", "Google analytics view ID" and "Google credentials") it will be possible to collect information from end users' experience, their preferences, form, and place of use, time spent on your platform among much other information that can be collected by Vizzi and made available through either the backoffice Analytics module or Google Analytics console.
For information on how to get the required IDs please refer to Get Started with Analytics and the official Google documentation here.
