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.
Sort your shipping methods by cost, module name, or method name. Offer a free shipping option when any of several parameters are met. Use the default layout within the existing user interface or a template with tokens which allows you to customize the method selection table. Select list or radio button group can be used to display the available methods.
Features: - Sort shipping methods in the order you want them - Template with tokens allows methods as select list or radio buttons - Default layout for those who do not have skills with HTML and tokens - Free shipping option based on order subtotal - Free shipping option based on number of products - Free shipping option based on weight of the order - Free shipping option can be limited to specific availability/price group - Free shipping option can be limited to specific location - Free shipping option can be related to specific products - Label for free shipping is configurable - Configurable default message if no options are calculated - When only one option, list is replaced with a single line display
Feature Details. Sort your shipping methods by cost, module name, or method name. This Miva Merchant module can be used in conjunction with shipping modules which dynamically calculate cost, such as the UPS modules or the various World, State, or ZIP Code Zone modules.
The free shipping option can be implemented when the subtotal of the order or the number of products in the order exceeds the thresholds you establish in admin. Or you can allow free shipping when the weight of the order is less than your specified threshold. You also have the option to give free shipping to all members of a designated availability group or price group. You can further configure the free shipping option by limiting it to specific countries (USA can be all states or just the contiguous states). You can also remove the free shipping option if certain products are ordered. It also has free shipping override, ie if every product in the basket is in your list of free shipping codes, then shipping is free no matter what the other parameters are set to. You define what the free shipping label displays, e.g. Free Ground Shipping.
The module also provides a default message if there are no shipping methods which can be calculated. This message replaces the default message in Merchant. While you can leave it as Unable to calculate shipping methods, you can change that to be more customer friendly, e.g. We will contact you to adjust shipping costs or To be determined.
Easily use the default layout within the existing user interface or a template with tokens which allows you to customize the method selection table. With the template you can replace the select list with a radio button group. You can also add a Select One option in the select list layout. When only one shipping method exists with the order, the list of methods is replaced with a single line display and no selection is required. The method value is passed as a hidden input to the next screen.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. If using OpenUI, no editing of mv files is needed. However, if using MMUI, editing and re-compiling of the mmui.mv is required. Thus if using MMUI, you need to have the compiler license from Miva and the limited source code for mmui.mv. Hence, OpenUI highly recommended and probably required by most stores.
Sort your shipping methods by cost, module name, or method name. Offer a free shipping option when any one of several parameters are met. Use the default layout within the existing user interface or a template with tokens which allows you to customize the method selection table. Select list or radio button group can be used to display the available methods. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.

When only one shipping method exists with the order, the list of methods is replaced with a single line display and no selection is required. The method value is passed as a hidden input to the next screen. The template can have a header section which is configurable for every different country or group of countries.
You can hide or limit the shipping methods based on ship to country. Hence, you can designate certain shipping methods for domestic and others for international shipping. For US, you can even designate the continental US; excluding Alaska and Hawaii from the domestic shipping methods. No need to buy a separate module to hide certain shipping methods from international shipping.
Each method can have a different configurable message (text or html) which is displayed usingtokens. This message can be displayed on the order payment screen (the screen after shippingmethod is selected) and on the invoice screen. It can also be in the customer and merchant notification emails if they can implement module tokens in the format %module|sortship|html_message%. This eliminates the need to install a separate, custom module for checkout messages or rely on theshipping module to have the message capability (many do not have it).
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.
Offer your customers incentives like Free Shipping or Shipping Discounts on specific products. This is a great way for you to promote and provide incentive to buy high ticket items or featured products!
The module allows you to specify which products should be available for Free Shipping and which Shipping Method free shipping applies to, such as UPS Ground. When your customers place an order for one or more products with Free Shipping and select the appropriate shipping method, in our example UPS Ground, the entire cost of shipping will be discounted.
If the customer’s order contains products with Free Shipping in addition to products without Free Shipping then a Shipping Discount for each Free Shipping product will be applied to their order as specified for each product. This allows you to still offer your customers an incentive to purchase featured products while not having to offer them free shipping on their entire order.
Additionally, if your customer places an order for products with Free Shipping but chooses a shipping method other than the one specified for Free Shipping (i.e. UPS Ground) they will still receive a Shipping Discount towards their order. This is a great way to offer incentive to customers who also want to receive their order faster or live outside of the specified shipping method’s area.
Method of discounting
The module works by dynamically excluding each product which is configured for free shipping from the customer’s basket weight at checkout. This effectively reduces the total weight of the basket and the shipping cost returned from any weight based shipping module such as those for UPS, USPS, FedEx, as well as other generic modules that calculate shipping cost based on weight
This dynamic exclusion can be limited to only occur when the customer selects a specific shipping method such as UPS Ground. Additionally, only products that have free shipping enabled will be excluded from the basket weight, allowing
Offer customers a selection of multiple free products based on their basket total at checkout. Based on our single Free Product module, multiple levels of free products offers can be created to provide additional free products promotions. Each free products offer can vary by desired group of free products, maximum free product selections allowed, and minimum basket total required to trigger the free products offer. The free products offer page displays after the customer info checkout page and can be customized to your desired format with a flexible template/tokens style configuration.
Module configuration includes ability to exclude specific products from free products offer, free products offer page layout (via template/tokens), and free products offers with free products selection, minimum basket total, and maximum number of free product selections allowed.
This module allows you to configure buy x get x free specials on a product-by-product basis. Simply check a box in admin to enable buy x get x free specials for a product, specify the quantity that must be purchased, the quantity free, and, optionally, a maximum quantity free. Free items appear on all invoices, basket display, etc.
Additionally, you can configure an alternate product to be used for the free product(s). The maximum quantity free and alternate product options allow for a number of scenarios, such as:
Buy 1 or more widgets and receive a free special edition widget poster with your order.
Buy 3 widgets get 1 free. Maximum of 2 free widgets per order.
Unlimited 2 for 1 special on all widgets.
Note: This module is not compatible with the Linkpoint payment gateway because Linkpoint does not allow zero-priced items. If using uncompiled Merchant (4.13 or lower), we can make a minor modification to your Linkpoint payment module to skip zero-priced items when sending the order to Linkpoint.
The Buy X Items - Get 1 Free module gives the shopper a discount based on a predetermined qualifying number of items. In Merchant admin, the store owner sets the number of items it requires in order for the lowest priced item to be free. For every increment of that trigger number, an item's value reduces the total sale. For example, if the number is 5 and the customer buys 5, the lowest priced item is free. If the customer buys 10, the lowest two items are free.
When the customer views their basket, the free item discount appears as a separate line item. If they view the basket prior to reaching the trigger level by one, there is a message telling the customer to add one more and the lowest priced item will be free.
In the compiled version you can change the percentage discount from 100% (free) to a lesser discount of the lowest priced items. You also can change the message in the basket from the admin configuration panel. You can specify a list of products which are not figured in the quantity calculation nor are they eligible for the discounting.
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.
The Buy X Items - Get 1 Free module gives the shopper a discount basedon a predetermined qualifying number of items. In Merchant admin, the store owner sets the number of items it requires in order for the lowest priced item to be free. For every increment of that trigger number, an item's valuereduces the total sale. For example, if the number is 5 and the customerbuys 5, the lowest priced item is free. If the customer buys 10, the lowest two items are free. The store can exempt specific items and can also make the discount a percentage of the item instead of free. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
When the customer views their basket, the free item discount appears as a separate line item. If they view the basket prior to reaching the trigger level by one, there is a message telling the customer to add one more and the lowest priced item will be free.
You can change the percentage discount from 100% (free) to a lesser discount of the lowest priced items. You also can change the message in the basket from the admin configuration panel.
You can exempt specific product codes from the number of products to be counted and not use them in the discount calculation.

Offer free shipping to your storefront customers with coupons. Administrate as many free shipping coupons with expiration date as you like. When redeeming a valid coupon, a free shipping option will be displayed at checkout. Module configuration includes coupon code field label, coupon code field label color, shipping option label, and full administration (add/edit/delete) of free shipping coupons.
The number of items (grouped) module allows the store owner to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the number of items in the order.
This module accepts number of items ranges. For example, with 1-5 items, the charge might be $5.00. For 6-10 items, the charge might be $7.50.
This module has the added ability to permit free shipping when the order reaches a specific dollar amount independent of which number of items group the order falls into. Below that dollar amount the module uses the rate for the number of items group. If your intent is to have a free shipping option, but NOT calculate shipping charges based on the number of items, do not use this module. Rather, use the Minimum or Subtotal Shipping by World Zone module.
The store owner sets up the ranges and the free shipping level through the standard Miva Merchant admin interface. Multiple shipping methods can be setup, all with different ranges and free shipping level.

Reward your customers, track advertising success, and more! Special promotions can boost sales, improve customer loyalty, and provide feedback from catalogs, mailings, and other advertisement distributions. Expand your Miva Merchant storefront's capabilities with our PromoTrk Fulfillment module, a powerfully configurable promotion solution.
An unlimited number of promotions can be set up with a variety of options. Provide fixed and percentage discounts off either specific products, or the entire order total, or simply offer a free product as the promotion. Limit the promotions to customers who meet certain product purchase requirements, order total minimums, etc.
A few of the many possible set-ups include: Buy 5 or more of a specific product, get one (or a different product) free, Purchase $100 or more and receive 15% off your order total, Buy any 10 items and receive 25% off a particular product line, or $5 off any order.
Unlike coupons or other discounts, these "promotions" consist of unique key codes that the customer can enter during checkout. You specify how many times a key code can be redeemed, as well as an expiration date. You can also configure the complexity of the key code, which is based on the promotion's code followed by a random string. For example, a key code with 5 letters and 1 digit might look like PROMO-DJE9XY. All key codes generated are tested to ensure uniqueness, and are automatically exported to a text file. You may also generate additional key codes for a promotion at any time, setting a new expiration date if necessary.
Mailing out 5,000 catalogs? Simply generate 5,000 unique promotion key codes and provide the file to your printer to be included on the mailing labels -- reward your customers while getting feedback on just how effective that catalog was. Going to a trade show? Put promotional codes on your literature or business cards. An ideal solution for stores looking to enhance their marketing strategy.

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.
Finally, a robust FedEx shipping module! It offers many more configuration options than Merchant's standard FedEx module, such as calculation taking into account dimensional weight, and declared value insurance. In addition, it lets you configure products to be shipping independently in their own box (or multiple quantity per box) and from their own zip code. Individual products can be flagged to have free shipping, products being shipping in their own box can be specified to have free shipping on a per-method basis (eg. free FedEx Home Delivery for product x), and individual methods can be configured to be free (eg. free FedEx ground). Individual methods can be discounted (eg. FedEx Ground 25% off). Individual methods can also have specific handling charges assigned to them. The merchant can specify the maximum weight to put into individual shipping boxes as well as a maximum number. The module uses a sophisticated algorithm to pack the boxes to the maximum weight while maintaining the lowest number of boxes. The methods seen by the customer in the drop down shipping selection list can be sorted either ascending or descending (or not at all).
The module calculates it's rates by direct XML communication with FedEx's servers and obviously offers FedEx's shipping options but otherwise is similar in functionality to the
UPS Online Advanced.
It's Back! After a brief hiatus, the UPS Online Advanced module is back and ready for business. The module no longer connects to the UPS server, thus adhering to their restrictions, but it now downloads zone and rate tables from Miva's web site using the same methodology as their own UPS module. Unfortunately, this means that the module can currently provide only domestic UPS rates and methods. I'm working on that though...
This new version of the module is a direct upgrade to the previous versions of the module so you can upgrade, if you desire, from older versions with no problems.
This isn't your father's UPS module! It offers many more configuration options than Merchant's standard UPS module, such as calculation of "oversize" and "dimensional" weights, declared value insurance, and Hazmat. In addition, it lets you configure products to be shipping independently in their own box (or multiple quantity per box) and from their own zip code. Individual products can be flagged to have free shipping, products being shipping in their own box can be specified to have free shipping on a per-method basis (eg. free UPS ground for product x), and individual methods can be configured to be free (eg. free UPS ground). Individual methods can be discounted (eg. UPS Ground 25% off). Individual methods can also have specific handling charges assigned to them.
