End-users of Miva Merchant v4 and below who were hoping that MM5 would address the problems with the built-in affiliate program will be sad to know that it is still pitiful as ever. Problems that plague every version of Miva Merchant’s affiliate program are the inability of affiliates to view order history to verify proper commission, inaccurate commissions, inability to credit affiliate if shopper leaves and comes back when basket expires, and more.

Multiple developers including ones who create modules have verified problems with Miva’s affiliate program, but one prominent developer claims that no problems exist because he hasn’t seen them. Let’s hope that end-users are smarter than that.

The good news is that Viking Coders Affiliate Manager and Affiliate Login modules fix all these problems for v4 and below. Lets hope Viking Coders releases their affiliate module for MM5 sooner than later!
