Found 15 Modules or Applications that might fit the bill
Use caution when considering any modules from modStop. Their support has been reported by umpteen Miva Merchant users as suspect and worse. Some of their modules are simple and shouldn't require support. Please contact us with any questions concerning them or their modules.
Collect supplemental, required or non-required responses fromcustomers at checkout. You can add as many additional checkoutquestions to your form as you want, within reason. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Collect supplemental, required or non-required responses from customers at checkout - Export responses to a delimited flat file - View responses in the file with a searchable admin report - Display responses in the include modified invoice emails and batch reports and invoice screen - Include response data in the order export file created by our inexpensive EZ Batch Report module (sold separately) - Configure text label for each question to preceed the responses in the emails and reports - Special instructions for the order, e.g. shipping needs - Collect responses from survey or poll questions - Customer entered gift card messages - Questions displayed in a table which the store owner designs with standard HTML - Limit the display of questions based on specific product codes - Limit the display of questions based on the ship to country of the order - Used in conjunction with our Mail Manager module, activate sending of specific emails - Assign a fee to one response, for example gift wrapping fee, donation, or rush handling - Insert a negative fee (vs positive fee) for impromptu sales, etc - One or more responses can be required before customer can proceed - Highlighted error message when required response(s) are omitted - Tokens can be used to refill the responses if the page is redisplayed due to missing info - Our standard version contains the features you'd expect in competitors' pro version
Feature Details. The responses are exported to a delimited text file which can beimported into most database management systems for further analysis. Youcan also have those responses appear in the Miva Merchant Email notification and batchprocessing (modified email and batch modules included in the zip file). Use the module for the customer to add specialinstructions for the order, collect responses from survey or pollquestions, allow the customer to fill out gift card messages, include salesman orrepresentative code, etc.
The admin interface allows you to build the form withyour store's questions using standard html syntax. Hence,you can make the response collection table match the restof your store's look and feel. You can have text, radio, select drop down list, text area, and checkbox inputs designed the way you want them. Add css if you like or use typical fonts and table tags.
You can place the questions on one of the three checkout screens. You simply add the tokens to the page templates per the install doc.
You can also specify one or moreof the questions to be required. Customers will not be able to completethe checkout if they do not respond to the required questions.
You can purge old questions from the active file and place them in ahistorical file in order to improve response time during order batchprocessing retrieval. The optional order batch retrieval uses the modified core batch report which is included in the zip distribution file.
You can limit the display of Addendumquestions based on specific product codes. If you list productcodes in the admin input, the questions will only be displayedif one of those products is in the basket at checkout. Youcan also use the wild card product code like 1AA*. If theapplicable products all begin with the same characters, youcan use the asterisk. This can only be used for the beginningcharacters in the product codes.
You can alsolimit the display of questions to specific ship to countries.
You can optionally includethe questions in the emails along with the responses by using the modified email modules which are included in the zip distribution file.If using our Mail Manager (sold separately) module you can have a question (checkbox) which will trigger a specific email, e.g. opt-in mailinglist signup. You can also include the questions and responseson the invoice (last page after payment completes). Theresponses for the batch report are retrieved from an indexeddatabase for faster access.
You can alsoattach a fee to a specific answer to one question if youplace the questions on either the customer information orshipping/payment selection screens.
The included Addendum View report featureallows you to search (within admin) the addendum filefor specific responses. For example, you might have a questionfor a specific requested shipping date. Simply search the filefor orders which have requested the delayed shipping for thatdate. The order numbers can be returned and fed into our EZ Batchreport (sold separately) for a tailored report for a specific shipping date. Another popular use of Addendum is to collect the salesman or representativecode with an order. Not only can you display the code in the batch report,but if you use Addendum View to create a list of orders attributed to thatsalesman, you can make a batch printout for each salesmanwith only their orders on it if you are using our EZ Batch Report (sold separately). You can also include the Addendum responses in the order export file that EZ Batch creates.
Limitation: When used in a store which uses PayFlowlink, PayPal or iTransact payment systems, you will need to placeyour questions on either the customer information screenor the shipping and payment selection screen. Thosepayment systems transport the customer to another domain.Hence, the module needs to save the responses to a filebefore the customer is transported off-site. When thecustomer returns from the off-site payment screens backto your store, the responses will be retrieved for savingto flat file or display in your merchant notification email.
The included modified merchant email and batch reports will display the Addendum resposes. Additionally, the batch report can provide page breaks between each order for better printouts (incoices). Also, the merchant notification email allows you to insert tokens in the subject line so you can include things like the order number, order total, and customer name in the subject of the email.
Compare this module with our competitors' pro or advanced or ultimate versions. Those are just words tacked onto a module name. Don't let our low price fool you - compare features and you will find this module probably contains all of the features found in theirs plus we have several additional features. The Addendum module has been in use since Merchant version 1.x and continually enhanced with each version. Our competitors will try to keep up, but the simple choice is, why get a shadow when you can get the "original".
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
EZ Batch report module lets you run a batch report on either batched or unbatched orders. You canalso use it to create packing slips and create flat files for use with tools like the Fedex online label, Endicia internet postage, and UPS's My UPS programs. It creates an orders export flat file with data the standard export program forgot to include. It can email the flat file exports to you. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Generate a standard type batch report from existing batches - Generate a standard type batch report from a | delimited list of order IDs - Hide CC secure data unless on secure server and proper pass phrase is used - Generate packing slips by removing sections like shipping and payment details - Select which customer fields to display and in the order you want them - Can exclude prices and totals - Can include page breaks between orders - Include store address with image if desired - Optionally remove color bar for faster printing - Can include date and time of order - Include one or more Addendum responses (question numbers selectable) (requires our Addendum module) - Create flat files with shipping addresses (Fedex label, Endicia internet postage, Quickbooks, My UPS address book) - Create a flat file of the orders similar to standard orders export (can include "other" charges) - Email the finished flat files to yourself as an attachment - Can include %module|xxxxx|xx% type tokens for 3rd party module insertion - EZ to use, no complicated setup requirements
Feature Details. You can generate the report by selecting from a list of existing batches. You can also run the report by including a | delimited list of order numbers in the input. This allows you to create/print a batch report of unbatched order(s).
You can also create packing slips with this same module. Exclude certain elements like the shippingand payment details, along with product prices and totals, and you have a convenient printoutwhich can be packed with the items as an inventory list. This is made easy by using the optionto insert a page break after each order.
When used for creating packing slips, you'll probably use the option to include your store addressand logo image on each page.
If you are using our Addendum module you can display one or more of the responses. You canselect which ones will be displayed. You can use Addendum View (report module with Addendum) to generate a list of order IDs which match a certain criteria. For example, you might have a question on checkout to have the customer designate their desired delivery date. You can search the Addendum responses for a specific date and it will create the view list (order IDs) which can be used in the EZ Batch. Another popular use of Addendum is to collect the salesman or representativecode with an order. Not only can you display the code in the batch report, but if you use Addendum View tocreate a list of orders attributed to that salesman, you can make a batch printout for each salesman with only their orders on it.
You can select to create flat files of the customer addresses when you run EZ Batch. It formats them in an order which can be imported into programs like Fedex's online label creator and Endiciainternet postage printer. It can also generate a flat file of customer info which can be imported into Quickbooks. Import a flat file of customer addresses from the batch into My UPS address book. You can either retrieve the files from the server with FTP or have them emailed at the completion of the batch report. Clerks don't need access to your Merchant admin. No copy and paste; a few clicks and the order addresses are imported into the above programs.
You can select to create a flat file of the orders when you run EZ Batch. This export is similar to the standard orders export in Miva Merchant. However, one important omission in the standard export is the "other" charges, which includes things like coupons, fees, etc. The "other" charges is specified in the Miva Merchant API, but was ignored when the code for the standard report was written. You can also include the Addendum responses (if you are using our Addendum module) in the orders export. You can either retrieve the file from the server with FTP or have it emailed at the completion of the batch report.
If you have 3rd party modules which can use a token to insert their data into the batch report, youcan use tokens in the format %module|xxxxx|xx%

EZ Batch report module lets you run a batch report on either batched or unbatched orders. You can
also use it to create packing slips and create flat files for use with tools like the Fedex online label or
Endicia internet postage programs. It creates an orders export flat file with data the standard export
program forgot to include. It can email the flat file exports to you.
Features: - Generate a standard type batch report from existing batches - Generate a standard type batch report from a | delimited list of order IDs - Hide CC secure data unless on secure server and proper pass phrase is used - Generate packing slips by removing sections like shipping and payment details - Select which customer fields to display and in the order you want them - Can exclude prices and totals - Can include page breaks between orders - Include store address with image if desired - Optionally remove color bar for faster printing - Can include date and time of order - Replace attribute/option codes with prompts (requires our Attribute Prompt vs Code module) - Include one or more Addendum responses (question numbers selectable) (requires our Addendum module) - Create flat files with shipping addresses (Fedex label, Endicia internet postage, Quickbooks) - Create a flat file of the orders similar to standard orders export (can include "other" charges) - Email the finished flat files to yourself as an attachment - Can include %module|xxxxx|xx% type tokens for 3rd party module insertion - MMUI and OpenUI compatilble - OpenUI not required for any feature - EZ to use, no complicated setup requirements
Feature Details. You can generate the report by selecting from a list of existing batches. You can also run the
report by including a | delimited list of order numbers in the input. This allows you to create/print
a batch report of unbatched order(s).
You can also create packing slips with this same module. Exclude certain elements like the shipping and payment details, along with product prices and totals, and you have a convenient printout which can be packed with the items as an inventory list. This is made easy by using the option to insert a page break after each order.
When used for creating packing slips, you'll probably use the option to include your store address and logo image on each page.
If you are using our Addendum module you can display one or more of the responses. You can select which ones will be displayed. You can use Addendum View (report module with Addendum) to generate a list of order IDs which match a certain criteria. For example, you might have a question on checkout to have the customer designate their desired delivery date. You can search the Addendum responses for a specific date and it will create the view list (order IDs) which can be used in the EZ Batch. Another popular use of Addendum is to collect the salesman or representative code with an order. Not only can you display the code in the batch report, but if you use Addendum View to create a list of orders attributed to that salesman, you can make a batch printout for each salesman with only their orders on it.
If you are using our Attribute Prompt vs Code, you can enable it in the EZ Batch so that the attributes and options are more readable.
You can select to create flat files of the customer addresses when you run EZ Batch. It formats them in an order which can be imported into programs like Fedex's online label creator and Endicia internet postage printer. It can also generate a flat file of customer info which can be imported into Quickbooks. You can either retrieve the files from the server with FTP or have them emailed at the completion of the batch report.

You can either retrieve the file from the server with FTP or have it emailed at the completion of the batch report.
If you have 3rd party modules which can use a token to insert their data into the batch report, you can use tokens in the format %module|xxxxx|xx%
Collect supplemental, required or non-required responses from
customers at checkout. You can add as many questions to your form as you
want. The responses are exported to a delimited text file which can be
imported into most database management systems for further analysis. You
can also have those responses appear in the Email notification and batch
processing. Use it for the customer to add special
instructions for the order, collect responses from survey or poll
questions, allow the customer to fill out gift card messages, etc.
The admin interface allows you to build the form with your store's
questions using standard html syntax.
for Miva Merchant version 3.x and 4.x.
You can place the questions on one of the three checkout screens. This
module is compatible with the MMUI and OpenUI. When using the OpenUI, simply
select the screen from admin. When using the MMUI, editing the mmui.mv
file will accomplish the same thing. You can also specify one or more
of the questions to be required. Customers will not be able to complete
the checkout if they do not respond to the required questions.
You can purge old questions from the active file and place them in a
historical file in order to improve response time during order batch
processing retrieval. The optional order batch retrieval
requires editing the core batch report unless you are using
truxoft's batch reporting module, which has an interface for
the addendum module data.
In the compiled version you can limit the display of Addendum
questions based on specific product codes. If you list product
codes in the admin input, the questions will only be displayed
if one of those products is in the basket at checkout. You
can also use the wild card product code like 1AA*. If the
applicable products all begin with the same characters, you
can use the asterisk. This can only be used for the beginning
characters in the product codes. You can optionally include
the questions in the emails along with the responses. If
using the OpenUI, you can select in admin whether to insert the
response in the merchant notification or customer confirmation
emails or both. You can also include the questions and responses
on the invoice (last page after payment completes).
Limitation: When used in a store which uses PayFlow
link or iTransact payment systems, you will need to place
your questions on either the customer information screen
or the shipping and payment selection screen. Those
payment systems transport the customer to another domain.
Hence, the module needs to save the responses to a file
before the customer is transported off-site. When the
customer returns from the off-site payment screens back
to your store, the responses will be retrieved for saving
to flat file or display in your merchant notification email.
The ultimate Miva Merchant autoresponder module - send specialized emails at the completion of the order. These emails are in addition to or in place of the standard emails which are sent at order completion, e.g. merchant notification, customer confirmation, vendor specific notification, and even cell phone emails. It also can send welcome emails when a new customer account is created. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order - Merchant notification and customer confirmation - Vendor and product specific templates - Can limit sending based on a specific attribute/option code for a product - Include coupons or promo codes when specific products ordered - Optionally require an input to allow the email, e.g. a response from Addendum - Easy to use checkbox configuration of vertical or horizontal layout emails - Highly configurable free form template layout emails with embedded tokens - HTML or text email formatting - Archive flat file is created for each template, easily track sales activity - Mail Manager Report module can display the flat file contents by time period or product - Ship to, bill to and other email addresses for each template - Send emails to your company's internal departments, e.g. shipping - Emails to web enabled cell phones as abbreviated messages - Open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response - Can resend emails when the customer knows and enters their order number and email address - Use render token to send an email from any pagein the store - Send a welcome email before the order completes and optionally include a promo code, customer login and password - Include 3rd party data with module tokens, e.g. Addendum responses - Display shipping and payment invoice messages - Create packing slip and label emails - Ship to country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations - Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon - Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Feature Details. In admin, you create one or more template emails. Eachtemplate can be different, i.e. what it displays, how the data is oriented on the screen/paper, and what product(s) triggers the autoresponder. Most responses are triggered by the product codes purchased. Some example uses:
Email to any of your drop-ship manufacturers listing the Ship To address and the products to be shipped if using real time creditcard authorization. The module will sort out which drop shippergets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. Unlike some other vendors' drop ship notification modules, this one only includesthe products belonging to the associated drop shipper. Thus a drop shipper doesnot see the products being supplied to the customer by other drop shippers when the order contains multiple product sources. Youcan still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processingverified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would savehand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flatfile is created which you can use to easily track sales activity related to each of your drop-ship manufacturers.
Email to Ship To or Bill To or both thanking them for a donation to your sponsored charity on your site.
Email to your shipping department listing Ship To addressand products ordered if using real time credit card authorization. Products section can be cut/folded to result in a shipping label with your company address included. If notusing real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similarto the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specificproduct or from a list of products
Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on specific products or product lines
Send an email to your cell phone's inbox when orders are placed in your store (requires a cell phone plan that assigns an email address to your phone).
You own a mall with multiple stores within the mall. Thosestore owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track theirsales. In addition to the autoresponse email, mail manager produces a flat file with order ID, date, product name, product code, quantity, price for each, and price extended. Periodically retrieve that flat file and import into a spreadsheetfor easy analysis.
The included Mail Manager Report module can display the contents of that flat file through admin. It can filter the report by specific timeperiods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for excessively long time periods. It can also limit the report to only one product code. Since the templates canbe designed for each vendor, you can create individual vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each vendor.
Literally, you can have a different autoresponder for everyproduct in your store.
However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture sothat other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:
Send a welcome email before the order completes, but afterthe customer completes the registration process (for those thatcreate an account)
Send a thank you for rating a product (using our Rate This system)along with a coupon code for taking the time to do so
You can use the ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now.
Use a render token to send an email from any page in the store. For example, put it on the product page to send a specific email when a specific product's page is viewed by a customer who is logged in. The email goes to their password recovery address (but could be bill to or ship to address). If you want it sent to a hard coded address, e.g. yours to monitor traffic,you would put your email address in the 3rd parameter of the token. The uses of this feature are endless. Send a coupon to entice customers to buy when they visit specific product screens. Tell them about other products related to the one they just viewed.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite diverse. Some of the variable features configured through admin for each template are:
Show or hide any of the data elements
Orient your email either horizontally or vertically
There is also a free form template using an extensive list of tokens and mini-scripts to customize the emails that are sent at the time of order completion. They can vary from mimics of the standard merchant notification and customer confirmation emails to brief order notifications for better acceptance within cell phone emails. The emails can be plain text or HTML formattedemails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors,layout and even add images to your confirmation and notificationemails. If your shipping and payment modules are configured withinvoice notices, these can be included in the emails with a token. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create packing slip and label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template. In the free form template you canalso set the time so that it can be offset from the server time,thus display for a different time zone in each of your emails.
Customize your email and store's physical address
Designate email recipient, i.e. Ship To and/or Bill To and/or fixed email address
List full or partial Ship To and/or Bill To address
Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon for their next visit
Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Resend order emails if the customer knows and enters the order number and email which match the actual order. The form for these two data elements can be placed anywhere you can edit the store user interface, e.g. headers, footers, welcome screen.
You can specify the product code and an attribute/option value that must also be met before the email will be sent. This is particularly useful when the emails are used for vendor notification. A certain product might bedrop shipped by two different vendors and the only difference is the selected attribute/option value.
Insert a "require" token that has to be met before the email will be allowed. As example,have a checkbox using Addendum to ask a customer if they want to be added to a list server (mailing list). Then if they check the box, the "yes" response is sent to Mail Manager. The Mail Manager can then generate a specifically formatted email to activate an email address at your list server, if you have one.
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
List products and prices or just the products without prices
Link the email usage to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste froma flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system. Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens of different responses (individual or grouped) or a wildcard response for all of the products. You can use itto make connections not directly related to sales, yetlinked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery inhopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted, intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store'sbusiness and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sendingout product specific, emails.
The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. For the more experienced, you also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.
Not your ordinary checkout addendum module... The Ultimate!
Collect additional data during the checkout process. This module allows you to specify your own HTML for additional data collection, such as gift card info, special ordering instructions, comments, etc. Additional checkout data collected can be shown via order tab, customer email, merchant email, invoice, and an included batch report module. Since the module allows you to specify your own HTML, via template, you could use radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns, text boxes or any other form variable to collect the additional information you desire. Also, you have the ability to make these fields required or specify a field charge.
Key Features
Field Pre-text
Specify text to prefix the results collected
Field Charges/Discounts
Great for charging for gift wrapping or offering order discounts.
Unlimited Fields
Create as many fields as you like
Required Fields

data is oriented on the screen/paper, and what product(s)
triggers the autoresponder. Most responses are triggered
by the product codes purchased. Some example uses:
Email to any of your
drop-ship manufacturers listing the Ship To
address and the products to be shipped if using real time credit
card authorization. The module will sort out which drop shipper gets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped.

product or from a list of products
Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on
specific products or
product lines
Send an email to your cell phone's text messaging

store owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of
their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track their
sales. In addition to the autoresponse email, mail manager
produces a flat file with order ID, date, product name,
product code, quantity, price for each, and price extended.
Periodically retrieve that flat file and import into a spreadsheet

With compiled Merchant, the included Mail Manager Report
module can display the contents of that flat file
through admin. It can filter the report by specific time
periods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits
of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for
excessively long time periods. It can also limit the
report to only one product code. Since the templates can
be designed for each vendor, you can create individual
vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each
vendor.

create an account)
Send a thank you for
rating a product (using our Rate This system)
along with a coupon code for taking the time to do so
Essentially any event in the mmui, oui or even another third party module can trigger an email which you write for the
particular event
You can use the
ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique
coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now. If you don't have an account with us yet, sign up and you'll see how it works.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite

List full or partial Ship To and/or Bill To address
Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon for their next visit
Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
Link to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste from a flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability
exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system.
Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but
this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a
specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens
of different responses (individual or grouped) or a
wildcard response for all of the products. You can use it
to make connections not directly related to sales, yet
linked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about
the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800 number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery in hopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted,
intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store's
business and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sending out product specific, followup emails.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of the mmui.mv is needed and no OpenUI hook points are used. Thus, module conflict does not occur. The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. In the compiled version of Merchant (4.14 and newer), you
also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.
As a Miva Merchant storefront licensee, you have discovered that you have a powerful shopping cart system. One of the strengths of Miva Merchant is its ability to plugin 3rd party modules to provide off-the-shelf, additional features at reasonable cost. You may have found that the cost can quickly add up and you are not exactly sure which additional features would be of benefit. We have assembled a bundle of a dozen of our most popular plugin modules. Literally hundreds of stores have found these to be the "must have" modules. As this is a bundle, it's cumulative price is 30% less than the sum of the individual module prices.
The modules in this bundle can be classified as storefront enhancement, discount, checkout, search engine optimization, and administrative back-end modules. The detailed module features and capabilities can be reviewed by clicking on the module names in the components list below. Please review each of the individual product descriptions so you fully understand what is included before selecting this bundle deal.
Non-refundable: Due to the number of popular modules included in this bundle, this
bundle deal is not refundable.
Compiled Merchant only: This bundle is only available for Miva Merchant 4.14 and newer. As it is a starter kit, nobody should be creating new stores with old versions of Miva Merchant anyway.
Baker's Dozen: For a limited time, if you order this bundle, you can get one more Emporium Plus individual module (bundles are not eligible) at no extra charge in a separate order. Email Emporium Plus after paying for the starter kit and tell us which module you would like as a bonus and we will send you a coupon code for a second order to get that module free. A popular free module could be our Customer and Product Administration module which lets customers view their order history among other things (value $40.00).
OpenUI Required: About half of these modules require installation of the OpenUI before they can be installed.
If your PayPal account is either a "Business" or "Premier" PayPal account, this module guides the customer to the PayPal payment screens so that they do not get to the invoice screen without properly entering pay data. When the customer clicks the Pay button at the PayPal site, you can have the PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) send a silent update back to your payment history file which can be viewed in your Merchant admin:order edit screen. Unlike some other modules, if the customer does not return to Merchant, his order will still be processed and email notifications sent. When returning to your store, the invoice page will be displayed. You can also add additional instructions to inform customers what to expect at the PayPal site through the admin interface. If you are using Addendum in your store, you will need to use Addendum version 3.08 or newer when using the PayPal module. If your PayPal account is a "Personal" account, the flow for payment is a bit different. Contact me if your PayPal account is a "personal" PayPal account and I will give you the details.
Although the PayPal system is not like real time credit card processing and authorization systems, it is more like using the simple credit card validation. PayPal does the authorization using it's web accept and sends you a confirmation email. You match the Merchant notification emails with the PayPal confirmation emails. For added security, it is advisable to check the status on the PayPal web site (linked within Merchant admin). Once confirmations are verified that the money has transferred to your account, you can ship the products.
The Merchant version 2.x, 3.x and 4.x PayPal payment module can be used with both the MMUI and OpenUI look and feel. A single edit is needed if you are using the MMUI AND your PayPal account is a "Personal" account. If you have a "Business" or "Premier" PayPal account, the MMUI edit is NOT needed. An optional code edit can be also made to include the payment method in the merchant notification email. You may find it advantageous to use our Show Payment Type module instead which lists all payment methods in the email, not just PayPal. No code edits are needed if you are using the OpenUI for either the PayPal or Show Payment Type modules.
New in the compiled version is a report module. You can list orders by any time frame and specify only orders with a specific product code in them. You can also sort it by state or country according to their paypal.com account registration
This module is particularly useful for the small sized Mom and Pop store which does not want the added expense of setting up Merchant credit card accounts and having to meet minimum sales quotas. This store is a prime example, as I do not take credit cards directly. Rather you can pay for software at this store using PayPal, by signing up and debiting your credit card at PayPal. Try it out, I think you'll like it.
Additionally, it is a nice option for the big guys in that it makes online fulfillment possible for those customers who don't have credit cards but have built up an online balance through their own sales, e.g. through eBay. PayPal is the predominant method of payment at eBay. There are over 16,000,000 million PayPal accounts. Do not overlook these as potential customers at your store. Over 30,000 websites accept PayPal and are listed in the PayPal Shops at paypal.com. Can you afford not to be in that list? PayPal accounts are available to customers in the United States and many other countries around the world.
PayPal is currently giving you $5 to sign up and complete the bonus requirements. So do the math. Signup, order this $20 module and let PayPal pay $5 of the cost. How long this will last is anybody's guess, so don't wait too long.
If you are not familiar with how PayPal works, check it out. If you like it, sign up, then add this payment option to your store.

Compiled MIVA Merchant 5 only: This specific bundle is only available for MIVA Merchant 5 andnewer. As it is a starter kit, nobody should be creating new stores with older versions of MivaMerchant anyway. However, if you are looking for a starter kit for compiled Merchant 4.x, take a look at our other starter kit bundle.
The modules currently fully support the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. They also support MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
Collect information from you customer before they complete the order.
This addendum module provides two stock questions to help find out where they heard about you. A drop down question to gather other information, with 6 reponses. Most people would use it to gather how the customer found you, but the question, and responses are configurable. 6 choices in the drop down selection allow for most possibilities. Another question is also available, to gather a text imput such as other information - or enter a new Question for the customer to give a text answer. Gathered information is sent along to the Merchant e-mail.
Module is similar toi the Customer Agree, but the responses are not required to continue.
Display up to five textboxes or checkboxes on any checkout screen
Flexible settings & HTML templates allow you to customize the display for your needs
Include the customer's entries in later checkout screens and in notification emails
Save the information in a database for reviewing in Merchant admin
This module allows your Miva Merchant store to request additional information from customers during checkout. You can display up to five different text boxes or checkboxes on any one of the three checkout screens. These can be used to collect information such as special instructions for the order, a message for a greeting card, newsletter request, etc.
After the customer enters their information, it is displayed on each subsequent checkout screen, so that the customer gets instant confirmation of what they entered.
The messages are also included in the notification emails to both the customer and merchant; and they are also saved in a database. The module's Order View screen allows you to view this database, so that you have a way to save and confirm a customer's messages in case any emails are lost.
For text boxes, you can specify each box's size, as well as the text prompt that appears above it, and the maximum and minimum length for the customer's entry. For checkboxes, you can specify the text prompt, the position of the check box (left or right of the prompt), and whether it defaults to checked or unchecked.
HTML templates and tokens are used to give you plenty of flexibility about how the messages are displayed: you can tailor their "look" to match the rest of your store.
Collect additional data during the checkout process. This module allows you to specify your own HTML for additional data collection, such as gift card info, special ordering instructions, commments, etc... Addendum Data collected can be shown in emails, invoice, OpenUI OpenOrders™, OpenUI OpenBatches™, and the OpenUI Standard Batch Report in the admin panel. Since the module allows you to specify your own HTML, you could use radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns, text boxes or any other form variable to collect the additional information you desire. Also, you have the ability to make these fields required.
Key Features:
Variable text for each result collected: Specify any text for prefix the results collected.
Field Charges/Discounts: Great for charging for gift wrapping or offering order discounts during the holiday season.
Unlimited Fields: Create as many fields as you like.
Required Fields: Make certain fields required to the customer.
Data entry error tags: These tags allow you to highlight text when a required field was not entered.
Current users may opt to upgrade to the Pro version via the MvCOOL upgrade center.
Now you can use results from Addendum, ProdXtra, OrderXtra and many other 3rd party extensions in Ultra Batch and MmHTML formatted e-mail notifications or in MmPSLP packing slips.

Does
not require OpenUI. Works with both OUI
and MMUI.
No OUI hook conflicts
- truXoft modules are 100% conform to the Miva Merchant API, they do not use OUI extensions and therefore never cause hook conflicts with other modules, otherwise common at OUI modules.
Very
easy installation, plug&play, no coding, no programming experience necessary
Available in English and
German localization (same file)
for Miva Merchant version 3.x and 4.x.
You can place the questions on one of the three checkout screens. This
module is compatible with the MMUI and OpenUI. When using the OpenUI, simply
select the screen from admin. When using the MMUI, editing the mmui.mv
file will accomplish the same thing. You can also specify one or more
of the questions to be required. Customers will not be able to complete
the checkout if they do not respond to the required questions.
In the compiled version you can limit the display of Addendum
questions based on specific product codes. If you list product
codes in the admin input, the questions will only be displayed
if one of those products is in the basket at checkout. You
can also use the wild card product code like 1AA*. If the
applicable products all begin with the same characters, you
can use the asterisk. This can only be used for the beginning
characters in the product codes. You can optionally include
the questions in the emails along with the responses. If
using the OpenUI, you can select in admin whether to insert the
response in the merchant notification or customer confirmation
emails or both. You can also include the questions and responses
on the invoice (last page after payment completes).
