Feature Details.
You can sort the categories by name, code, or entry date. Many stores find that their categories are best sorted by category code rather thancategory name. This way they can create codes which will put their categoriesin the order they want. While most may actually coincide with category namesbeing alphabetical, stores can rearrange the categories to put things like "Specials"or "Close Out" at the top of bottom of the list. The customer does not see the category code, they only see the results of the sorted list.
The products can be sorted by name, code, price, or entry date. The product sorting can be done either as either ascending or descending. Moststores will sort the products by name. The very quick sort is done storewide with a couple button clicks. The storewide sort results in the products being sorted in all of the category screens, the product list screen, and the search screen.
You can sort the products within individual categories differently than the sorting in the store at large. So while the product list and most categories might be sorted alphabetically, you could have others sorted by price as ascending or descending. You can sort theproducts by a specific category and then on the next screen, make minor changes to re-arranged that sorting. This gives you the ability to move certain products to thetop for more customer visibility.
You can also move to the top of the list up to 999 product codes in the orderyou want them. They can appear before any other products on the product list, search and each category screen. This ability to assign a sort order number also makes it possible to display an image, e.g. new or hot, to all products with a sort order number less than the trigger you assign using a token.
You can also elect to count the products in each category. If you do, the counts willbe available at runtime in Merchant. By having the data in a quick lookup table, Merchant does not have to count the products in each category as it displays the category list in a 3rd party module's category tree. It simply shows the previously stored totals. This option cannot be used in stores which use availability groups to hide products fromsome customers because the totals would show the amounts for all products in eachcategory. The sorter module uses a token to display the products-in-category total after the category name if you are using a 3rd party category tree template module.
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.Price: $27.95 Upgrade Cost: $0

Volume pricing at the category level. Easily offer a fixed discount (not percentage) based on the number of items in the basket and the categories those items are in.
Features:
- Discount based on number of items ordered
- Set up to 4 tiers of discounts per category group
- Can have 8 groups (each containing one or more categories), each with 4 different discount tiers
- Category wide, multi-category or store wide discounts
- Optionally apply discount after other discounts have lowered the subtotal
- Discount shows at checkout as separate line item
- Optionally display updated discount in basket prior to checkout if using compiled OpenUI
- Can use wildcard instead of entering category codes for the group
- Can exclude a single price group, e.g. Wholesale, from receiving the discount
- MMUI and OpenUI compatible
Feature Details:
In admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (number of items needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding fixed amount off. The store owner can designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the discount based on the number bought. Reward the customer; the more the customer buys, the higher the discount.
The store owner then includes a list of category codes that will be used in the calculation. Use this module for category-wide or store-wide fixed discounts. If using store-wide, make sure the discount doesn't exceed the price of the potentially summed products. If using category-wide, make sure the discount does not exceed the price of the lowest priced product in the category.
The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method.
Additional features. In admin you can setup eight separate groups with their own four-tiered discount and categories. Hence, if you want to discount one category of products with one set of rules (levels) and another category with a different set of rules, you can now do this. Multiple categories can be assigned to each group. As the basket is scanned, the discount is applied based on each group's rules, then summed together at checkout. If you are using the OpenUI, you can optionally display the updated discounts prior to checkout in the regular basket screen, recalculating and updating discounts based on changing basket contents. In admin, you can choose one price group, e.g. Wholesale, which is not eligible for the discount since they presumably already benefit from significantly lower prices. You can use the asterisk (*) to replace the category codes. When the module encounters the asterisk instead of category codes, it considers all further products eligible. As example, the asterisk in the first group would make all products in the store eligible for the discount. On the other hand, category codes in the first group would apply the first group rules to those categories. Then if there is an asterisk in the second group, all other products in the store would use those discount rules.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of mv files required for either user interface for standard functioning. Optional display in the basket before checkout requires OpenUI. Configuration is setup through Merchant Admin. Price: $50 Upgrade Cost: $0

The store owner can designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary thediscount based on the number bought. Reward the customer; the more the customer buys, the higher the discount.

You can choose one price group, e.g. Wholesale, which is not eligible for the discount since they presumably already benefit from significantly lower prices. Or if you don't want to exclude, you can include the one group. This would be useful if you want to apply a fixed amount off for that price group rather than use Merchant's percent off price group calculations. This would allow you to discount different fixed amounts from different groupings (categories) of products.
You can use the asterisk (*) to replace the category codes. When the module encounters the asterisk instead of category codes, it considers all further products eligible. As example, the asterisk in the first group would make all products in the store eligible for the discount.

This module gives you template access to the actual links so you can change them to be more search engine friendly. MIVA Merchant 5 out-of-the-box does not currently provide template access to the category tree links. I suspect they probably will open it up some time in the future. Until then, this module gives you that access.
Features:
>- Provides full access to the category tree links
- Create links which are optimized for search engine recognition
- Provides ability to place subcategory navigation on the category screen
- Displays category page breadcrumb navigation
|
Feature Details.
Category Tree Access: The category tree template can be edited from the store edit screen at the tab "My Category Tree" or from any of the page template screens. The template is global and as such, you only need tomake changes in one location. Those changes will be reflected in all of the screens you haveadded this template item to.
If you have .htaccess re-write capability on your domain, you can even create directory style links. As an example, you can change a link like:
http://www.pinemporium.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=1AA&Store_Code=PE
into
http://www.pinemporium.com/c/1AA/Software.html
In addition to creating a short url, you can include the product or category name in the urlto provide more keyword visibility to search engines.
Subcategory Navigation: You can list the subcategories of a parent category on the right (main) side of the screen, e.g. right under the parent category title/name. You can create multiple columns, thereby taking up less screen real estate when you have categories with large numbers of subcategories.
Category Breadcrumb Navigation: On the category screen you can display the currentcategory and the heirarchy of its parent categories up to the store root level.Price: $24.95 Upgrade Cost: $0

Volume pricing at the category level. Easily offer a discount based on the number of items in the basket and the categories those items are in. Features: (some features are only in the compiled version - see details)
- Discount based on number of items ordered
- Set up to 4 tiers of discounts per category group
- Can have 8 groups (each containing one or more categories), each with 4 different discount tiers
- Category wide, multi-category or store wide discounts
- Optionally apply discount after other discounts have lowered the subtotal
- Discount shows at checkout as separate line item
- Optionally display updated discount in basket prior to checkout if using compiled OpenUI
- Can use wildcard instead of entering category codes for the group
- Can exclude a single price group, e.g. Wholesale, from receiving the discount
- MMUI and OpenUI compatible Feature Details:
The default is to calculate product charges in the specified category(ies) (including attribute charges) to determine the subtotal to discount. You can optionally include non-product charges in the calculation. In admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (number of items needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding percentage off. The store owner can
designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the percentage discount based on the number bought. Reward the customer; the more the customer buys, the higher the discount percentage. The store owner then includes a list of category codes that will be used in the calculation. Use this module for category-wide or store-wide discounts. The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method. This allows Merchant to include (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemed on the Shipping - Payment selection screen so the subtotal will be adjusted before the discount.  Additional features are in the compiled version of the module for
Merchant 4.14 and newer. In admin you can setup eight separate groups with their own four-tiered discount and categories. Hence, if you want to discount one category of products with one set of rules (levels) and another category with a different set of rules, you can now do this. Multiple categories can be assigned to each group. As the basket is scanned, the quantities are subtotaled for each group. The discount is applied based on each group's rules, then summed together at checkout. If you are using the OpenUI, you can optionally display the
updated discounts prior to checkout in the regular basket screen. In admin, you can choose
one price group, e.g. Wholesale, which is not eligible for the discount since they
presumably already benefit from significantly lower prices. You can use the asterisk (*) to replace the category codes. When the module encounters the asterisk instead of category codes, it considers all further products eligible. As example, the asterisk in the first group would make all products in the store eligible for the discount. On the other hand, category codes in the first group would apply the first group rules to those categories. Then if there is an asterisk in the second group, all other products in the store would use those discount rules.

Full control of the look of your category pages! The module lets you configure the category page html to your liking. It provides an interface for you to enter the specific HTML that you want to use to display the product listing for the category. You create templates which you can then assign to selected categories. The module comes with 4 preinstalled templates but you can add as many as you want. One of the preinstalled template provides for a category display that lets you add all of the listed products to your basket with the click of a single button. Another provides for the display of multiple products in rows across the page instead of vertically. In your templates, you can use tokens to represent the normal Merchant product and category fields. For example, you can use the token %prodname% to represent where you want the product's name to be displayed. Making changes like removing the "buy one now" button is as simple as tweaking the HTML used to display the page. One of the preinstalled templates is identical to the standard Merchant category display and serves as a good starting point for those little tweaks you have always been wanting to make. The module also permits you to copy existing templates when you are creating a new template. You can use strike-thru pricing with this module too! Note about compatibility with other modules: This module totally replaces the portion of the OpenUI (or MMUI if you are using it) that displays the Category page and is not compatible with any other module which modifies the category page unless the developer of that module has specifically made their module compatible. This module provides for an easy-to-use manner for developers to provide tokens that can be used to insert their module's HTML into the pages. And these tokens can be registered in the module's admin interface. All VikingCoders.com's modules are compatible with this module (ie. there are tokens that can be used to display their information on the category page) or soon will be. Another note about compatibility: This module is compatible with the OpenUI right out of the box. However, for it to be compatible with the MMUI requires a minor modification to the MMUI file (ie. mmui.mv). Version 3.x Available Price: $44.95 Upgrade Cost: $14

You've got your store spidered by the search engines, you're showing up in the search engine results, but you just can't seem to improve your rankings...Search Engine Tweak Pro (SETPro) is here to help! Search engines take into account many factors when ranking web results, and one of the most important is proper page content optimization. Miva Merchant's dynamic page creation is not designed to be search engine friendly with how it creates and displays the page content. This is where SETPro comes in to play with a number of optimizations and enhancements for product and category screens. These optimizations are primarily done with the Google search engine in mind, but are also relevant to most other popular search engines.
PRODUCT SCREENS: - Product Name Tags:
Allows you to set the product names on the product screens to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (, , , , ).
| The keywords to focus on for an individual product page are typically contained within the product name. Making the product name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined. |
| | Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the product name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the product name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus. |
| | Stock Miva Merchant nests a considerable amount of hidden tables within one another. It makes for an adequate display but search engines don't see page content as the viewer does. That creates a large amount of page code that pushes the product descriptions far down the page, even possibly tripping up some older search engines. It's best to have your real keyword content as far up the page code as possible, creating more keyword weight and improving relevancy for the product pages. It's recommended to use either this option or the commented out feature described below, but not both. |
| | This is the same as the product description display above, except that the description and title are commented out, essentially invisible, at the top of the page. Most search engines will ignore comment tags but some may take them into account. This is an elegant alternative to actually displaying the product name with description at the top of the page, leaving the page as it's meant to be displayed. It's recommended to use either this option or the displayed product description feature described above, but not both. |
|
CATEGORY SCREENS: - Category Name Tags:
Allows you to set the category names on the category screen, to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (, , , , ).
The keywords to focus on for an individual category page are typically contained within the category name. Making the category name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined.

Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the category name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the category name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus.
| - Product Links in Line-Item Listings:
Optionally replaces the product name with a linked product name, when a line-tem listing is used. This is mainly for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens.
|
| Search Engines add additional keyword weight to pages using those keywords contained in incoming anchor text (links) from other pages. |
| - Product Short Description in Line-Item Listings:
Optionally adds a short product description under the product name when a line-item listing is used. Mostly used for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens when line-item formatting is used. Choices are: - None
- Product Description (First 200 characters with stripped out HTML code)

The Category Import module imports category codes, names, parent codes and status (active/inactive) from a flat file. With the large number of people setting up their 4.0 stores at completely different servers or directories from their 2.x or 3.x stores, we found a perfect compliment to our product and attribute import modules is this category import module. Easily create a flat file of your category codes and names, then import that file's data directly into your new 4.x store. The module handles main categories and multi-tiered subcategories. Since it verifies the existance of categories before adding them, it can also be used to add new categories to the store and you won't end up with double entries for the same category. No category import would be complete without a category export module. With the included category export module you can export from one store and import the categories into a new store using the category import module. The flat file is automatically formatted with the category code, name, parent code and status (active/inactive). Price: $15 Upgrade Cost: $5

Converts your category and product links to single parameter URLs so that search engines will index your Merchant pages. Many search engines will only index URLs which have just one value after the ? character. This shortened URL is swapped with the original URL links for the category names in the category tree and the product names on the various list pages and category pages. Alternatively, you can use URLs which are similar to the original URL links, but with the Store_Code removed. These shorter (modified URLs) can be indexed by most search engines. By using this method, you don't need an external handler file and will still get the store indexed. Optionally adds rollover bullets to the left of the category names in the category column. These bullets contain links in the standard URL format for Merchant so that each category has two different links on the storefront. As an added feature, if the store is a single store in the domain, the URL is optimized for search engines by removing the redundant store code which has been found to hinder search engines. This optimized URL is used with the optional bullets in the category column and also with the thumbnails on category pages. Optionally adds text or image below the thumb on category pages, e.g. Click to Enlarge or More Info. This module works with a handler file such as our free store4.mvc (compiled store4.mv). The Swap Link module can further enhance your chances of search engine ranking by producing static sitelink*.htm files which list all of your categories and products with the single parameter link. This feature is configurable to allow you to optimize the sitelink pages with meta tags, key word rich text, etc. The site link pages are generated very quickly through admin. You can optionally include the price and a brief description of the item. The brief description uses either the Flexible Product Description module pseudofield called "brief" or the first 100 characters of the full product description. As long as you don't go overboard with your narrative (top of page) text, each page will be less than 100K. If multiple pages are required to include your whole catalog, a link to the next page is included on each page. Limitations: OpenUI look and feel only. While it can be used in a MMUI store (like this one), the editing is complex and I do not provide instructions so that you could do it yourself, as anticipated support would be significant. Currently has not been tested with cgi type Merchant URLs, so I can't certify that it works with them. Currently is not compatible with Viking Coders category templates. If there is enough interest, I will make an effort to include that compatibility. If you have replaced the standard layouts (product line or product expanded) with custom, 3rd party module solutions, then the swap links will not be generated for those particular pages. Category links use the standard category tree (column). If you have removed the left hand category column, then the swap links cannot be generated. Price: $20 Upgrade Cost: $0

Volume pricing at the category level. Easily offer a discount based on the number of items inthe basket and the categories those items are in. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features:
- Discount based on number of items ordered
- Set up to 4 tiers of discounts per category group
- Can have 8 groups (each containing one or more categories), each with 4 different discount tiers
- Category wide, multi-category or store wide discounts
- Optionally apply discount after other discounts have lowered the subtotal
- Discount shows at checkout as separate line item
- Optionally display updated discount in basket prior to checkout using render token
- Can use wildcard instead of entering category codes for the group
- Can exclude a single price group, e.g. Wholesale, from receiving the discount
Feature Details:
Thedefault is to calculate product charges in the specifiedcategory(ies) (including attribute charges) to determinethe subtotal to discount. You canoptionally include non-product charges in the calculation.
In admin, the store owner configures the triggerlevels (number of items needed to activate the discount) and thecorresponding percentage off. The store owner candesignate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary thepercentage discount based on the number bought. Reward thecustomer; the more the customer buys, the higher thediscount percentage.
The storeowner then includes a list of category codes that willbe used in the calculation. Use this module forcategory-wide or store-wide discounts.
The discount amount willappear during checkout on the screen after the customer hasentered their shipping method. This allows Merchant toinclude (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemedon the Shipping - Payment selection screen so the subtotal willbe adjusted before the discount.
In admin you can setup eight separate groups withtheir own four-tiered discount and categories. Hence, if you want to discountone category of products with one set of rules (levels) and another categorywith a different set of rules, you can do this. Multiple categories can beassigned to each group. As the basket is scanned, the quantities are subtotaledfor each group. The discount is applied based on each group's rules, then summedtogether at checkout. You can optionally display the updated discounts prior to checkout in the regular basket screen, recalculatingand updating discounts based on changing basket contents.
In admin, you can chooseone price group, e.g. Wholesale, which is not eligible for the discount since theypresumably already benefit from significantly lower prices.
You can use the asterisk(*) to replace the category codes. When the module encounters the asterisk instead ofcategory codes, it considers all further products eligible. As example, the asterisk inthe first group would make all products in the store eligible for the discount. On the other hand,category codes in the first group would apply the first group rules to those categories.Then if there is an asterisk in the second group, all other products in the store woulduse those discount rules.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. Price: $27.50 Upgrade Cost: $0

If you don't know which OpenUI product you need, then THIS IS THE ONE! The OpenUI Advanced (formerly OpenUI Standard) is ULTIMATE enhancement for your Miva Merchant store! Too many features to even begin to list, and all for a VERY LOW PRICE!! It gives you all of the features you are already used to from OpenUI Look & Feel Basic, and the following addons are include: The OpenUI Look & Feel module replaces your MMUI module and provides central 'hooks' through which module developers may easily add features and performance enhancing solutions without having to reinvent the wheel with each Merchant release. UDPATED VERSION - NEW AND IMPROVED! We went all out with this latest release of the OpenUI. We have included the following enhancements: - OpenBatches™ - This simplifies order processing in Miva Merchant like never before. You no longer have to go back and forth between the left-hand tree and right-hand main window. From the right hand main window, searchable lists allow you to search, view, edit, or delete batches. This screen also allows you to view orders within a particular batch via OpenOrders™, shows if you have new orders, and even enables you to create a new batch. This all happens from ONE interface.
See Interface Screen Shot
- OpenOrders™ - Using the main window, you now have a searchable order list that allows you to filter by all orders, only unbatched orders, or by orders within an individual batch. You can further filter by order number, product code, order total range, and by date and time range. From this screen, you can also edit and delete individual orders. Once again, this all happens in ONE interface.
See Interface Screen Shot
An optional statistics interface that works with both the OpenBatches™ and OpenOrders™can be unlocked with the purchase of an OpenUI Pro license key. Find out your top sellers, revenue generators, sales by the hour and day, and much MORE! Read More Detailed Information!
This additional license key is solely for statistics features and will have NO impact on existing or future OpenUI installations. All stores will continue to function with the same capabilities as before and include the great features listed below.
- Shorter URLS for Google - It was recently announced in a newsletter geared toward search engines and Miva Merchant that category and product pages without the store code in the url were being readily indexed by the top search engine in the world, Google. If you only have one store, the OpenUI will automatically remove the store code from all urls in the category tree, product list, search results, and basket contents screen. If you have two stores, your store code will remain in the url.
Example:Instead of merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CODE&Category_Code=CATEGORY, it will be: merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=CATEGORY This applies to compiled stores with the mvc extension as well.
Feature added based on recommendations from JMH Web Services (jmhonline.net). *This information has been updated to reflect new findings from JMH. Google now does not ha
