Found 103 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.
This module, as the name implies, is an affiliate manager. It tracks referrals to your store from your affiliates. You give an Affiliate code to them which they in turn can use in a link to your site or provide to others who can enter it on your site to give credit to the affiliate for their visit. You can set the amount to be paid out separately for each individual affiliate and the module tracks the accumulation and alerts you when payout is due. Payouts can be scheduled for any time period from daily to annually or set to occur when a particular payout amount has been accumulated.
A sampling of the module's features:
Store display settings can be configured separately for each affiliate so each can have their own "unique" look and feel
Payouts can be accumulated and for both hits and orders (as both a per order payout and as a percentage of the order total)
Payouts can be accumulated up to 5 levels deep (i.e. you can give payouts to those who refer other affiliates to your store)
Emails can be sent to the affiliates when orders result from their referral. The email can be in either text or html formatting.
The referral is gathered by the module itself w/ a link such as: http://yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?AFFIL=affilcode No need for extra scripts to collect the referral.
The referral link can point to almost any page in your store. For example, you can point them directly to specific products or categories. Just add the AFFIL=affilcode to the URL that points to that page.
Customers can be redirected to a static web page after the referral is collected so the module can be used by those merchants who display their products on static pages.
Referrals can be held without crediting it to the affiliate if the customers pay with particular payment modules to avoid payouts for orders for which payment was not actually received.
The contents of the emails sent by the module and the invoices generated are fully configurable by the use of templates.
The referral code can be passed to your store either through the link from the affiliate's web site or it can be collected in a form on your site which can be positioned in up to 14 different positions. The content of that form is configurable with a template
The module can provide for a new page in your store at which customers can apply to be affiliates. That page can be linked to w/ links in up to 13 different positions on your store pages and the content of the new affiliates page is entirely configurable by the use of templates. Approval can be either automatic or pending your approval.
More information about the available features can be gleaned from the main Options page which you can see here.
This module provides your Affiliate Manager affiliates with an interface in your store where they can view and modify their personal data (permitting them to modify their settings is optional), view the orders and hits which have been credited to them, view the payouts which are pending and the payouts which have already been made.
The module uses the "templates and tokens" approach to displaying the information familiar to users of my other template modules. This approach provides for full control over the display of the various pages by simply modifying the HTML used to display that page; placing tokens to represent the data wherever you see fit. Two templates can be separately configured and you can select which of the two to use for your display. By default, one of these templates displays almost all of the affiliate's personal data and permits them to edit and update the information. The other template displays the same data but does NOT permit the affiliate to modify the data.
The display consists of a main page to which the affiliate first arrives with links on this page to pop-up windows for each of the other data pages. Images can of course be configured for each of the links and buttons on the various pages.
Note: This module requires that the Affiliate Manager be installed (and isn't of any use without it).
Note: This module requires ver. 3.9x or higher of the Miva Engine.
Generic Affiliate Integration allows you to integrate Merchant with an unlimited number of 3rd party affiliate programs such as My Affiliate Program, clickXchange.com, FineClicks.com, clixGalore, AssocTrac from the Internet Marketing Center, etc. Typically affiliate networks provide cut/paste HTML to insert on the invoice with placeholders for variables such as order number that should be replaced with the actual order number. This module allows you to replace these placeholders with their respective dynamic variables by using "tokens". The following tokens are available:
%prodcode% - Product Code
%prodname% - Product Name
%prodamount% - Product Amount (price*quantity including attributes)
%order_number% - Order Number
%order_total% - Order Total
%order_subtotal% - Order Subtotal before any order charges/discounts (tax, shipping, coupons, etc.)
%order_subtotal_adjusted% - Adjusted Order Subtotal before any order charges (tax, shipping, etc.) but after any discounts (any negative order charges, such as coupons)
%cust_id% - Customer ID
%ship_email% - Ship Email
%bill_email% - Bill Email
%coupon% - Coupon Code(s)
When an order is placed, any HTML that has been added will be inserted into the bottom of the invoice, and any tokens will be converted into their respective values. In other words, the HTML code given to you by your affiliate program will automatically be calculated and sent without you having to make any code changes to your invoice page.
The product-specific tokens are run for EACH product in the basket which is handy for those who give different commissions for particular products.
Compatibility Notes: This module is compatible with MMUI and OpenUI for Miva Merchant 4.12 or higher. However, for versions prior to 4.12, it requires the OpenUI. Version 3.9 or higher of the Miva Engine is also required.
Create the appearance of multiple stores while retaining the simplicity of administering a single store. Carry the look of your affiliates Web Site throughout the store or assign a unique Look and Feel to specific categories.
Designate reffering URL's and/or Categories you wish to assign the appearance of a unique store.
The Affiliate Stores module tracks the Caller ID and uses either the Referring URL or the Category Code through which the user enters the store to control the Look and Feel.
The theme or unique appearance of each store is then established by assigning Affiliate or Category Specific Perpetual Headers, Footers, New Left Column, Category Tree, Body Header and Right Column display that are displayed through the use of the Display Wizard Pro.
The theme for the Referring URL or Category through which your customer enters the store will be carried throughout the customers experience in the store and will display on all screens.
You can assign up to 50 Referring URL's and as many categories as stores as you wish.

Get dedicated-server performance and better search engine optimization from a module.
If your site is bogging down from too many "just looking" visitors, or if your finding your Merchant Store pages not getting into search engines, then Merchant Optimizer is the perfect tool for you. Merchant Optimizer works by creating exact copies of your store's screens, saving them as standard HTML pages in an alternate directory. These static pages are much easier for your server to serve to your customers and for search engines to scan and index. With a few additional tricks, you direct all browsing to be done in the static pages, or just use the static pages as entry points for your Merchant store's dynamically generated screens. You can create separate static pages for different affiliates, or even for different domains, using your store for example, to create a mirror site that can be used under a different domain. For example, you can have a copy of your store's screens, on www.mysite.com, then create another site called www.myothersite.com....and have both sites point shoppers into your Merchant store. (This second store could be configured with an affiliate link, and those hits tracked by any compatible affiliate module such as Merchant's built in affiliate module or VikingCoders.com Affiliate Manager.)
As you can see, this module is both absurdly simple to operate, yet limitless in its applications. A little imagination will go a long way.
QwkTracker allow a merchant to track the traffic coming into their store starting with where it came from and tracking it through the shopping process. The system can help a merchant determine if they are spending their money wisely on pay-per-click advertising such as Overture, Google, and Miva Marketplace or non-pay-per-click links from friends, associates, business partners, or advertising campaigns. QwkTracker helps merchant determine who is most effective in sending traffic to their site, which referring links translate to more sales, and where in the shopping experience they may be losing sales.
Miva Merchant Compatibility: 2x, 3x, 4x (compiled and uncompiled)
Features/Advantages
Tracks Pay-Per-Click and Non-Pay-Per-Click Traffic You can use QwkTracker with most traffic generation services such as Overture, Google, FindWhat, Sprinks, Kanoodle, Ah-Ha, and Miva Marketplace. QwkTracker also works great with link sharing systems, banner ads, web rings, or any other systems that direct traffic to your site.
Compatible with Miva’s Affiliate Module QwkTracker also works with Miva Merchant’s built in affiliate system and can give you very powerful and useful information about the traffic your affiliates are sending you.
Compatible with third party tracking variables QwkTracker has a built in variable mapping feature that lets you tell it to use the values of variables already being sent to your site that you have set-up for other third party software. You can quickly and easily configure the software to for example use the affiliate code of a third party affiliate module.
Fights Fraudulent Traffic Charges The tracking information provided by QwkTracker can be used to help you spot fraudulent traffic you may be paying for that you shouldn’t be paying for. Most systems/services that direct traffic to your site claim to prevent wasted clicks from the same shopper, and protect against competitors or hackers that may be clicking your links to drive up your costs. QwkTracker arms you with the data on the traffic that you can use to spot such fraud and the data that your traffic generation service will need to help stop you from being charged for it.
Provides Shopping Experience Traffic Data Even if you aren’t using any pay-per-click services QwkTracker can still give you important data on your traffic. It can indicate to you where in the shopping process the shopper is leaving and thus clue you in to places where your store may need some work, or your polices (such as shipping charges) may need to be adjusted.
Works with HTML Landing Pages
QwkTracker works even if you want your pay-per-click traffic to land on a static html page rather than inside your Miva Merchant store. The system does this by linking the traffic to the Miva Merchant store in a special way that allows the visitor to be transferred seamlessly from the Miva Merchant software to a local or remote URL of your choice without stopping the browser’s back button from working. This ability to redirect your traffic without breaking the functionality of the browser’s back button is critical because the top pay-per-click services such as Overture will not allow you to use links that break the back button.
Special support for tracking traffic to static HTML Pages QwkTracker has special code that supports tracking from static html pages using separate redirection software such as QwkRed. The combination can be used to allow you to track where traffic came from that came to your site via your own static html pages. And even work to track the traffic path if the static pages are hosted on a completely different domain or web server.
Reporting All of the data generated by the system is easily viewed in reports that you can configure based on the start and end date/time, sources, and keywords, and the reports can be displayed as html tables or in various delimited text formats for fast and easy use in third party spreadsheet or database software. Reports come in two types, summary reports that have the numbers crunched for you and are easy to read and great for seeing trends, and raw reports that have more granular detail. The same filtering by start and end date/time, sources, and keywords can be used for deleting old, irrelevant, or unwanted data quickly and easily.
Take a look over the shoulder of a Miva Merchant professional as he takes you through every step, every module (almost), every function. Complete with "live" comments unedited, you'll learn while feeling like you're sitting next to a Miva Guru.
This tutorial subscription is different than all other Miva Merchant training methods because it is constantly updated, there are OpenUI and MMUI tutorials, as well as extensive tutorials on most popular third party modules, including offline products like Storeman. With the cooperation of third party developers, when a module is updated, or a new module is released, Merchant How To will create a new tutorial.
And more as it is released. Click the link to see examples of tutorials.
NOTES: Please allow up to 24 hours for activation. Tutorial Flash files can be large, so it is recommended that you have a broadband Internet connection to enjoy the tutorials. This tutorial subscription is new, so not all tutorials listed at MerchantHowTo.com are immediately available. Also, since this subscription is essentially electronic distribution of knowledge, and since there are several examples and a list of tutorials available prior to purchase, no refunds can be granted on these tutorials.
This module enhances your existing affiliate program and extends the functionality of AgentTrk Pro.

Feature Details. You can add coupons through the standard Miva Merchant admin interface and include usage criteria.
An unlimited number of coupons can be assigned to the store and each identified with a coupon code. Once you have added the module to the store, you can add coupons in the Order Fulfillment section of the admin interface. When you select the Add icon, you will have several input fields to fill in. You must enter a unique code for your coupon. This is the code that you will give to customers so they can shop and redeem the coupon (one per order). It can be any combination of letters and/or numbers.
The compiled version has a coupon generation function. You can embed a token in your welcome email or notification emails generated with our
Mail Manager module. A unique coupon code will be created and is based on the coupon template you designate. You can have an unlimited number of templates and an unlimited number of coupons copied from them. If you are not using our Mail Manager, you can still activate the generator by placing the token in the invoice header if you are using the OpenUI.
If you have a lot of coupons you want to load into the system quickly, the compiled version has a coupon import from flat file module
An optional expiration date can be included which will prevent its use if the date has passed. Enter it in the year, month, day format, eg. 20000724 would be July 24, 2000. If you leave this field blank the coupon will never expire. However, you can still delete it manually through the admin interface.
A fixed value OR percentage discount off the order total is assigned to each coupon. The default is fixed value/price,
eg $5.00 off the order total. If you put the % sign in the next input field AFTER the value field, it will calculate the coupon value based on the assigned percent of the order total. The %, if used, is entered in the separate field to the right for that purpose. If left blank, the calculation will be based on the fixed value of the coupon. See the note below about restricting discount calculations to specific products instead of the order total. A maximum redemption value can be assigned to each coupon in Merchant 4.x.
If you enter the letter S in the field to the right, the
coupon will be used to allow free shipping (compiled version only) for the entire order. Other criteria for the coupon must be met, e.g. minimum order amount, eligible products, etc.
Optionally, a coupon can be allowed only when an order total reaches a specific amount. For example, you can give a 10% discount when the order total reaches $200 as an incentive or promo. In all cases where a raw value is used, you must make this value equal to or greater than the value of the coupon. If you use the percent calculation, this value can be any value, including zero.
Based on your state's tax requirements, the coupon can be designated to reduce the sales tax or not reduce it. The coupon's tax effect is on the order total, not on individual products. For example, in some states, a store coupon reduces the cumulative value of products purchased before the sales tax is applied, hence you would want it to reduce tax. The exception to doing this is if your products are likely to be non-taxable, making a coupon reduce tax could result in a negative tax calculation. Another type coupon might be the manufacturer coupon. In some states, manufacturer coupons do not decrease the tax liability. You should determine your state's tax requirements before adding coupons to your store.
Coupons can either be used:
multiple times - The coupon can be used at every visit by any customer who shops at your store. This is usually used as a promo to customers, user lists, clubs, etc. They often have a short expiration date to limit their use. A typical usage might be a special holiday sale, eg 10% off everything in the store if used by a specified date. This would eliminate the need for special price groups if the intent is that everybody who has the coupon code can use it.
only one time for each customer - The coupon can only be used for one visit per customer. When the same customer shops at your store a second time, if he/she uses the same coupon code, it will be rejected. This is probably the most common coupon and is usually used in print ads or as a promo, eg. "$5.00 off on your next visit".
only one time for a unique coupon code - The coupon can only be used once. Once any customer has used this code, it becomes unavailable for any other purchase. This is often used as a customer relations tool, eg "sorry for the inconvenience, please accept this coupon.....".
You can restrict usage of a coupon in your store so that it can be used only if a specific product code is ordered. You can list several product codes, any of which in the basket would make the coupon valid if the other requirements are met. Leaving the product code blank means that customers do not have to order a specific product as long as they meet the other requirements the store owner has specified. If you check the box to the left of the product code list AND are using the percentage discount, only those products in the code list will be used in the calculation using the qualifying products subtotal. If you do not check the box, the percentage discount will be applied against the order total. In Merchant 4.0, you can use a wildcard for the product list, e.g. 1AA* would make all products beginning with 1AA eligible for the coupon discount.
New in the compiled version of the coupon module is the ability to restrict the coupon usage down to the attribute level. For example, you can limit the coupon to product codes beginning with 1AA and the attribute "Version" with the option of "4.5". The
format for the input would be 1AA*~Version~4.5|
Alternatively, if you precede the product list with a - (minus) character, the coupon will be excluded from use with those product codes. You canNOT specify it to the attribute level like the include above. (compiled version only)
Appropriate error messages are displayed when coupons don't meet the usage criteria established by the store owner. When the shopper enters a coupon code at checkout that is not valid based on the criteria you establish, he/she will see an error message just below the coupon code input when the checkout form is re-displayed. One coupon can be redeemed per order on the checkout page.
In admin, the coupons can be easily displayed and edited. The coupons are displayed in a table format with configurable number of coupons per page displayed. The entire coupon database is searchable by coupon code or portion of the coupon code.
Expired coupons can be removed from the database (to cut down on disk usage) one at a time or in mass. In admin, you can either put a check in the remove column and select update or select purge expired coupons, then select update.
A historical database, which can be imported and analyzed in database or spreadsheet software, is maintained on all coupons used. The couponuz.dbf can be FTPd to your PC for further analysis in MS Access, MS Excel, or other data management software. This could be useful in determining which coupons bring you the most activity. The number of uses for each coupon is displayed in the admin table in Merchant 4.0
New in the compiled version is the coupon usage report. You can summarize or list each coupon used for a specific time period. You can also restrict the output to a specific coupon code or a string of characters in a coupon code. This latter is useful when you have assigned a series of coupons to an affiliate or advertising campaign. You can determine how much business was brought in with the coupons from various sources.
The compiled version of this module can use OpenTokens instead of hook points within OpenObjects. The OpenDesigner screen lists the OpenObjects which can replace all or some screens within the OpenUI user interface. The OpenObjects provide a template screen which contains the existing hook points (backward compatibility), OpenToken capability, and the ability to move output around within the OpenObject screen. Since the tokens in this module conform to OpenToken functionality, they may be used in other template type screens.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. If you are using MMUI, there are two required edits in the mmui.mv. If using MMUI in
a compiled version of Merchant (4.14 and newer), you will need to edit and recompile the mmui.mv (expensive proposition). Thus, with compiled Merchant, we recommend using OpenUI instead of the MMUI user interface.
Smart Products allows products to have pricing on their own set of rules.
Beads and jewels module allows for Pricing on Color / Size combinations. Infinite size options per product, and 58 colors already available for selection. See it in action here.
Wood module will accept partial, fractional, and decimal quantities. This module is not for everyone. Currently set-up to price by cut length, and also predefined lengths. Contains import and export ability for prices by code, and also weights for different sets of sub products. Shows an ability to price per inch, per foot, per yard. Can be customized for many uses. See it in action here.
Apparel module allows 'Auto Fill' of available colors for items, depending on the size selected! See it in action here. Infinit sizes and colors. Pricing is by size, with the colors available configurable. This module helps to offer Multiple Sizes and Colors from one product that would usually take many products to acheive. It is a fact that for each size of an item, the colors available will vary. Will work for pants, shorts, shirts, jackets, gloves, hats, shoes, belts - most apparell items.
If you are unsure about the suitability for your application, please feel free to ask for more details.
Each of the above sets, or custom module sets come complete with Import and Export Modules to make getting the option data into and out of your store very easy.
AgentTrk Professional allows you to create your own online Affiliate Program! Agent and Affiliate programs are proven to increase sales by allowing you to offer "referral fees" to others who post links to your online store.
AgentTrk Professional is a robust package that not only tracks hits and orders, but processes payouts as well. This module creates unique links for agents (affiliates) to refer customers by either posting those links on their web sites (via banners or text links) or via e-mail to their own subscribed list.
AgentTrk Professional is customizable so you can tailor the program to specific agents.
Features of AgentTrkPro include:
Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly or Quarterly payouts
Minimum Payout Amount
Configurable payout rate and per hit rate for each agent
Payout Logs
Limit to the amount of time to retain a referral (ties the customer to the agent for a period of time)
Order Logs
Daily Hit Summary from the agent's links to your store
Customizable Email order notification to the customer (useful for programs that are only agent based)
Email confirmation to the agent (tells the agent a sale has been made)
Payout Customizations: Each agent can have a different payout and per hit rate, or use the default payout rate. Payouts can be based on a percentage of sales or on a fixed amount per hit, or both. Minimum payout amount allows you to provide payments only when an agent's earnings have reached a certain amount.
Each agent retains a list of payouts, orders, and a daily hits summary.
Definitive Links: Links are automatically created for the agent to refer customers to the store front, search, product list, basket, order form, category, product, add one, or buy one screens.
All features are easily configured through the Admin interface.
This Utility module works in conjunction with AgentTrk Pro to help further automate your affiliate network. Create simple mailing templates to easily send bulk e-mails to all Agents set up in AgentTrk Pro. Templates can include both text and HTML formatted content, and special 'macro' features allow the inclusion of information such as the Agent's Name, Address, Payout Rate, Agent URLs, etc. (similar to a 'mail merge' function). Once a template is created, a simple click of a button will begin the process of sending all e-mails to your Agents.

Feature Details. You can add coupons through the standard Miva Merchant admin interface and include usage criteria.
An unlimited number of coupons can be assigned to the store and eachidentified with a coupon code. Once you have added the module to the store, you can add coupons in the Order Fulfillment section of the admininterface. When you select the Add icon, you will have several input fields to fill in. You must enter a unique code for your coupon. Thisis the code that you will give to customers so they can shop and redeemthe coupon. It can be any combination of letters and/or numbers.
You canembed a token in your welcome email or notification emails generated with our Mail Manager (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module. A unique coupon code will be created and is based on the coupon template you designate. You can have an unlimited number of templates and an unlimited number of coupons copied from them. If you are not using our Mail Manager, you can still activate the generator by placing the token in the invoice header. If you are using our Tell A Friend (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module, you can embed the unique coupon code in the emails that customers send when referring their friends to your store. The coupon generation is also useful when it is embedded into the follow on contact emails that our Follow On Contact (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module sends out.
If you have a lot of coupons you want to load into the system quickly,there is a coupon import from flat file module
An optional expiration date can be included which will prevent its useif the date has passed. Enter it in the year, month, day format, eg. 20000724 would be July 24, 2000. If you leave this field blank the coupon will never expire. However, you can still delete it manually through the admin interface.
A fixed value OR percentage discount off the order total is assigned to each coupon. The default is fixed value/price, e.g. $5.00 off the order total. If you put the % sign in the next input field AFTER the value field, it will calculate the coupon value based on the assigned percent of the order total. The %, if used, is entered in the separate field to the right for that purpose. If left blank, the calculation will be based on the fixed value of the coupon. See the note below about restricting discount calculations to specific products instead of the order total. A maximum redemptionvalue can be assigned to each coupon.
Free shipping coupon option. If you enter the letter S in the field to the right of the value field, the coupon will be used to allow free shipping for the entire order. Other criteria for the coupon must be met, e.g. minimum order amount, eligible products, etc.
Optionally, a coupon can be allowed only when an order total reaches a specific amount. For example, you can give a 10% discount when the order total reaches $200 as an incentive or promo. In all cases where a raw value is used, you must make this value equal to or greater than the value of the coupon. If you usethe percent calculation, this value can be any value, including zero.
Based on your state's tax requirements, the coupon can be designated toreduce the sales tax or not reduce it. The coupon's tax effect is onthe order total, not on individual products. For example, in some states, a store coupon reduces the cumulative value of products purchased before the sales tax is applied, hence you would want it to reduce tax. The exception to doingthis is if your products are likely to be non-taxable, making a coupon reduce tax could result in a negative tax calculation. Another type coupon might be the manufacturer coupon. In some states, manufacturer coupons do not decrease the tax liability. You should determine your state's tax requirements before adding coupons to your store.
Coupons can either be used:
multiple times - The coupon can be used at every visit by any customer who shops at your store. This is usually used as a promo to customers,user lists, clubs, etc. They often have a short expiration date to limittheir use. A typical usage might be a special holiday sale, eg 10% offeverything in the store if used by a specified date. This would eliminatethe need for special price groups if the intent is that everybody who hasthe coupon code can use it. In the compiled version you can limit the number of times a multiple coupon is redeemed.
only one time for each customer - The coupon can only be used for one visit per customer. When the same customer shops at your store a secondtime, if he/she uses the same coupon code, it will be rejected. This isprobably the most common coupon and is usually used in print ads or as a promo, eg. "$5.00 off on your next visit".
only one time for a unique coupon code - The coupon can only be used once. Once any customer has used this code, it becomes unavailable for any other purchase. This is often used as a customer relations tool, e.g. "sorry for the inconvenience, please accept this coupon.....".
Global or product related. You can restrict usage of a coupon in your store so that it can be used only if a specific product is ordered. You can list several product codes,any of which in the basket would make the coupon valid if the other requirements are met. Leaving the product code blank means that customers do not have to order a specific product as long as they meet the other requirements the store owner has specified. If you check the box to the left of the product code list, and are using the percentage discount, only those products in the code list will be used in the calculation using the qualifying products subtotal. If you do not check the box, the percentage discount will be applied against the order total. Youcan use a wildcard for the product list, e.g. 1AA* would make all productsbeginning with 1AA eligible for the coupon discount.
Use instant coupons on the individual product pages and for specific products. These coupons are redeemed at the product page and instantly appear in the basket as a line item discount related to a specific product. Unlike the global checkout coupons, customers can redeem multiple instant coupons in a single order. From a marketing standpoint this gives the merchant the opportunity to offer a promo code atthe product level which gives an impending event (expiration of the promo)to encourage sales while not lowering the value of the product with an overtprice discount.
You can restrict the coupon usage down to the attribute level. For example, you can limit the coupon to product codes beginning with 1AA and the attribute "Version" with the specific option value of "4.5". The format for the input would be 1AA*~Version~4.5|
If you precede the product list with a - (minus) character,the coupon will be excluded from use with those products.
You can limit the coupon to be used only if the customer is in a specific zone. You can use ONE of six possible zone limitations for each coupon (ship to: country, state or zip; bill to: country, state or zip).
Appropriate error messages are displayed when coupons don't meet theusage criteria established by the store owner. When the shopper entersa coupon code that is not valid based on the criteria you establish, he/she will see an error message just below the coupon codeinput when the page is re-displayed.
In admin, the coupons can be easily displayed and edited. The couponsare displayed in a table format with configurable number of coupons per page displayed. The entire coupon database is searchable by coupon code or beginning portion of the coupon code.
Expired coupons can be removed from the database (to cut down on disk usage) one at a time or in mass. In admin, you can either put a checkin the remove column and select update or select purge expired coupons, then select update.
A historical database, which can be imported and analyzed in database orspreadsheet software, is maintained on all coupons used. The couponuz.dbfcan be FTPd to your PC for further analysis in MS Access, MS Excel, or other data management software. This could be useful in determining which coupons bring you the most activity. The number of uses for each coupon is also displayed in the admin table.
The coupon usage report module can provide historical data within your admin. You can summarize or list each coupon used for a specific time period. You can also restrict the output to a specific coupon code or a string of characters in a coupon code. This latter is useful when you have assigneda series of coupons to an affiliate or advertising campaign. You can determine how much business was brought in with the coupons from various sources.
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.
Most agree, Yahoo! is the king of commercial and non-commercial directories on the Internet. Their new venture to create a listing of actual items for sale across the Internet, rather than pages with hits on keywords, is a bold attempt to better target customers and buyers in a symbiotic relationship.
This is a giant leap in eCommerce, providing comparison shopping using the Yahoo! Product Search index. If you are a Miva Merchant store owner you CANNOT afford to miss this
opportunity, especially since inclusion in the beta test index is currently free. How much have you invested in getting your store's search engine rankings? If you find you are getting traffic and earning revenue from this venture, you may find it beneficial to stay on after
the beta period has ended. This gives you an opportunity to "test the waters".
Include an affiliate code in the URLs so that you can better track where actual sales are coming from
If your store is a single store in the domain, you
can remove the Store_Code from the URL to aid in search engine spidering
If you are using our Flexible Product Description (recommended) or our Edit More (only for the very experienced) modules, the additional field data can be added to the description for the general products data feed.
Y Feed plugin module creates the datafeed flat file directly from your admin
As this is a new endeavor for Yahoo! Inc., I expect them to change
their format and add new capabilities over time. Licensees of the 4.x version of this module will have free upgrades of the module through the 4.x version.
Limitations: 1) Currently the module can only be used for the general products export for Merchant 4.x uncompiled. With the compiled version (Merchant 4.14 and newer) of the module, you can export book, music, and video type products if you are using one of the additional field methods above.
2) We will be upgrading the Y Feed module for compiled Merchant (4.14 and newer) to include the following product categories in the future: video games, computers, and electronics.
Now you can change the size of the text boxes on all Checkout Screens, Customer Login Screen, Customer Add/Edit Screen, Affiliate Login Screen and Affiliate Add/Edit Screen.
The Text Box Sizer module is designed to help you keep all text boxes within the realm of your store's design.
