ekmTags
The EKM system has a tag system that allows you to output data and editable content onto your website without any development experienced. These tags can be used to output data from your shop such as products and categories but also editable areas and logic statements which are useful throughout your shop's design.
The most complicated but most important tag on the EKM system is the ekm:showdata tag which allows you to output products, categories, special offers and related products. Because of its complexity we have created a unique tag builder. You can try this out on the ekm:showdata page.
