Feature Details:
This module's admin interface provides an easy to enter "from - to cost" format. You can literally have as many ranges as you want to type in. See the image below for example syntax. You can either use actual values to replace the base price or percent of price to be subtracted from the product base price. These price differentials are added directly in the admin interface under the product edit screen. You only apply these price differentials in the products that you want to use them.
This module applies the price in your low,high, cost groupings. If you do not include a grouping at the single item level, it will use the method for pricing in your store. It onlyactivates if you include a low, high, cost grouping. For example:
6|10|12%
11|20|14%
21|999|16%
The module only uses price groups when using the percentoff discount calculation. If you enter fixed prices for the quantity ranges, then price groups are ignored. Keep in mindthat the percent discounts could be over and above the discountalready given if you are using price groups.
You can opt to not give the price group an additional discount above the volume pricing. You can even make all or some price groups not eligible for volumepricing and hide the table from them completely. Conversely,you can exclude everybody from volume pricing except specific price group members. Customers must be logged in to identify the price group they are in before the volume pricing module can qualify or disqualify them from volume pricing if you are using the price group restrictions.
The percentage discounting method subtracts the percent discount from the base price. Base price does not include attribute prices. To apply the percentage, simply include the percent symbol (%) in the line. If you are using cost method for your store (other than price groups), you will not be able to use the percentage discounting method. Instead, use the actual value method.
If you are using another third party module which overrides prices in the basket and recomputes them using the price in the product record, youmay not be able to use this module. Other third party modules may notrecognize that it needs to apply the calculations in this module.
The module recognizes identical products. Hence different product codes will change the product enough that the discountwon't apply. For example 3 red shirts and 6 blue shirts willnot give the discount of 9 shirts. Rather, they'll get the discount rate of 3 for one of the line items and 6 for the other.
You can amalgamate quantities so in the example above, as long as the product code is the same and the color variation is done with attributes, all 9 items would get the volume discount for 9 items. You have the option for each product code to amalgamate quantities or treat varied attributes as different products.
You can optionally include a table on the product (PROD) andcategory (CTGY) screens displaying the rates as generatedfrom the products' volume discount record. You can optionallyhave a quantity input in that table display on the category screen. These options areconfigured through admin.
If you want to have a sale on one or moreitems. Simply set the volume to 1 or more with a specific discount percentage and you have a sale with as low as display. You can use the token %product_price_f% to further highlight that witha strike thru. To make this feature even more useful, youcan enter a starting and ending date for the sale so that itwill start and end automatically.
For ease of entry, a flat file import module is included. You can put all product codes in the flat file or use an asterisk (*) and one lineof "rules" to apply the volume price to all products in thestore. Create a storewide sale, e.g. 10% off in seconds with a specific start and stop date. Then just as quickly removeall settings at your leisure after the sale. There is also a volume price export so you can quickly build your flat file, then edit or add to it. This is useful when you want to have a storewide sale on all products butretain volume prices on your regularly discounted items. Export the volume prices. Import your sale settings. Importyour volume discounts on the few you want to maintain at pre-sale prices. 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: $35.00 Upgrade Cost: $0

With standard Merchant, a Text attribute field is 40 characters wide and a Text Area (Memo) field is 58 characters wide by 10 rows. Because of the length of these Text Attribute fields, Merchant generated pages that utilize one of these attributes will cause a horizontal scroll bar to appear in the customer's Browser because the display width is too large for the screen resolution that most users use (greater than 800 pixels for a Text attribute field and greater than 1024 pixels when using a Text Area field).

Set minimum and maximum quantity order rules. You can establish a required minimum number of each product that must be ordered. You can also establish a maximum number of each product that can be in a single order. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.The admin control panel permits the store owner to specify all products (as a wildcard) in a store to have the same quantity rules or apply individual and different quantity rules for each product code which will be restrained by order quantities. For ease of use, the individual product ranges are entered in a single admin input box rather than from tabs at the individual edit screens. This allows the store owner to build the quantity rules in a word processorand simply copy and paste hundreds of codes into the input box quickly. When the customer selects an out-of-rangeamount, the quantity is adjusted to fall within the permissable range and a non-fatal message is displayed telling the customer that the quantity was adjusted. The store owner can configure the text in the out-of-range message box or leave the box out of the store altogether by deleting the override message text in admin. You can change the quantity input into a drop down select list with multiple values. For example, setting the multiple to 2 will result in a select list of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc upto the maximum. You can also make a non-equal interval, e.g. 1, 3, 7, 10. The module uses the built in render token system to place the select list on the product and basket screens. 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.

Charge your customers by the number of letters or words customers include in a textfield attribute called PHRASE-L or PHRASE-W respectively. This module is used to calculate individual entity pricing for engraving, embroidering, etc. In Merchant version 3.x, the phrase can be in either a text input or textarea input. In Merchant version 2.2x, the text input is the only attribute available. The customer enters the phrase and the module calculates the price based on the number of letters/words and the base price of the attribute. The store owner determines if it will be a word count or letter count by the attribute code, i.e. PHRASE-W or PHRASE-L. Not for upsell products.

Allow your customers to enter an offer price for a product that is in your products database. You can also use it for auction high bidder purchases. This module is similar to our External Product Purchase module. The difference is that Override Pricing is best suited for products that are actually in your inventory so the customer sees the product image, description, etc that they are offering/bidding on. With External Product Purchase, the customer is seeing a generic
product page where they enter the product name, ID, offer/bid price, and weight.
The offer or high bid is entered into the text attribute on the product page. The price in the basket reflects that customer entered offer/bid price. The order will then continue as normal. However, you can create a disclaimer that if the offer/bid is not accepted, the order will be cancelled and payment refunded. Consult with an attorney on the best wording for your disclaimer as you would not want to be required to sell at their entered price.
The attribute for the override pricing input can also be modified in admin if you are using the OpenUI. You can select to shorten the input to 10 characters (size) or you can even make it a hidden input. You can also have regular product attributes on the same product page. For example, you may want to have an optional auction ID in case the item is going to be sold in store and/or through auction. The link from the auction win could include the auction ID and it would also pre-filled when clicked.
There are also some examples of links and .htaccess re-write rules for making short url links for typical uses of this module in its online install/usage doc.
Limitation: There are some 3rd party modules which change the price in the basket AFTER the item has already been added to the basket. Most notable are those which re-do all of the prices if a customer is in a price group but forgot to login at the beginning of shopping. If you are going to get one of those modules, make sure it 1) only changes the
price if the basket price and actual product price are the same (which means no special actions had been taken on the price when it was put in the basket initially), 2) it does not make the basket price higher than the current basket price as the Override Price module which controlled the actual addition of the item to the basket should be the module to determine the offer/bid price. If you already have a module which makes those sweeping basket price changes without regard for the module that put the product in the basket, you may want to contact that module's developer to see if they could add the two simple rules above to their logic to reduce module conflict.

Display the attribute prompt instead of the attribute code in the basket display, during checkout, on the invoice and in both the merchant notification and customer confirmation emails. The default is to apply the replacement to all products in the basket. However, if you desire, you can limit it by including only specific product codes into the eligibility input in the module's admin configuration screen. If you leave the eligibility input empty, all products will be eligible. If you are using options (select and radio), it does not replace the code with the prompt for options. However, carefully designed option codes should be all that is necessary to provide a meaningful display, e.g. Shirt color: Red. The "Shirt color" is the attribute prompt and the "Red" is the option code. The module requires use of the OpenUI and Merchant version 4.12 or higher. Price: $18 Upgrade Cost: $0

Create a table listing your featured or special products by category. On those screens which are not referenced to a category (e.g. product list, search), you can have a storewide specials listing. The layout is created as a template with tokens (product name, code, thumbnail, image, price, cost, link url) for placement of variables. All of the configuration parameters are assigned inside one configuration screen. You do not have to go to each category to configure this module. Easily change specials by replacing product codes in the admin input. You could even do all of your listing off line in a text file and then copy and paste it into the admin screen input. The table is displayed at either OpenUI token locations (headers and footers) or inside the product and category page templates using tokens. Price: $22 Upgrade Cost: $0

Business to Business transactions can be implemented with the B2B Tax Exempt module. Features: (some features are only in the compiled version - see details)
- Provide tax exemption for customers with tax IDs
- Display prompt to eligible customers
- Save customer login and tax ID to determine eligibility
- Use an availability group for eligible customers
- Customizable HTML template for prompt at checkout
Feature Details:
If a customer is purchasing items from your store and they enter their sales tax exemption ID, the tax will be zeroed out on the transaction. The module has no way of knowing if their ID is valid or if there purchase qualifies under your state's guidelines. It is up to you to verify whether the customer was untruthful in their submission. New in the compiled version only is the ability to hide the tax ID input to all customers unless they are either 1) in a specified availability group, or 2) their customer login is included in a admin entered eligibility list. You can save the customers' login IDs and tax IDs so when they checkout, the number will already be entered in the input. The prompt for entry of the tax ID during checkout is configurable as a template. This module works with both the MMUI and OUI look and feel user interfaces. MMUI requires editing (and recompiling if Merchant 4.14 or newer). Disclaimer: The authors, programmers or distributors of this module will not be held liable for uncollected tax or failure of this module to perform without failure. The store owner is solely responsible for verifying the credibility of a customer's claim for tax exemption. Limitation: The module will zero out all tax. Hence, if you need a module for Canada to zero out only certain tax, e.g. PST but not GST, contact us before ordering as this module will not do partial exemptions. We have a variation that will do it, but it involves a custom canvat module too. 2.x, 3.x Versions Available Price: $20 Upgrade Cost: $10

The Power Search module is a plugin module which implements field specific, keyword searching within a Miva Merchant 2.x storefront. License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional license. The purpose of powrsrch.mv is to allow a customer to search one or more fields which are made selectable by the store owner. The store owner can choose any fields within the products.dbf structure to be available. If you have an altered products.dbf structure, it will even allow selection of those additional fields (see screen shot below). You can also exclude a word or phrase. An example of an exclude word usage might be: You sell health food but want the ability for customers to NOT list ingredients they are allergic to. So in the product name field you might have Soup. Then if you have a field in your database called Ingredient the customer could check the name and ingredient fields for searching. In the keyword input they would put soup. In the exclude input they could put MSG. It would search both fields. If it found soup in either it would compile those products to the list. But if the word MSG appeared in either field, it would remove it from the list. Specific category, if selected, allows one category only searches. This feature may be too intimidating if you have hundreds of categories as the pull down select would be quite long.
 New for the compiled version is the ability to specify a price range for the search. Also, in the compiled version we added the ability to display links to numbered pages when the search results exceed the number of matches displayed on a single page. You can use OpenUI Tokens to place the search form in several locations in your store. You also have the ability to replace the default form with one which you design with your own html (for those who know how to write html forms). The alternate html form can also be placed at one of seven different locations on the storefront screen. You'll use the default form as a template and can then add your own layout to improve the look and feel. Also if you are using the compiled Power Search AND the compiled Tell A Friend module, customers can send the search string from Power Search to friends. The store owner also has the ability to allow customers to search the category headers and footers for the search word. Because this may slow the search, you should only use it if your store has a moderate number of categories, e.g. 100 or less.
Faster servers may get decent search times with many more than that though.
Added new search algorythms "Any of these", Exact phrase", and "Start at beginning".
Store owners can create a list of words which will not be
searched in the "All of these" or "Any of these" searches. These are words like a, an, the, and, or. It will not exclude those words in the "Start at the beginning" or "Exact phrase" searches.
If you choose to use the "search single category" listing, you
can modify that from the admin control panel and only list certain categories in the select list, but provide searches of all of their sub-categories. This top down search adds greater flexibility over how broad you will allow your customers to filter the categories.
After going to the product page from a Power Search rendered search, a convenient "return to search" link on the product page will bring the customer back to the original search page if using OpenUI.
Power Search (version 4.63) has been tested with OpenDB (version 2.2)
and is compatible. In tests by James at Copernicus, the Power Search
improved the performance of the already, very fast, SQL searches.
118k products in the database, 2456 categories, two search terms "PC133 RAM"
- Normal Miva Merchant Search: ~60 seconds
- OpenDBv2 Standard Search: TT time=07s0620u
- OpenDBv2 Power Search (limit to code, name & desc fields and no
category specific search): TT time=05s0259u
For store owners who have found their searches
take too long, you can reduce the search time by only searching one or two fields. The Merchant default is eight fields, including fields such as weight. Now, how useful is that? Finally.... the store owner has control without editing the db.mv code library.
The total number of products found is displayed along with the list of products matching the search criteria.
In admin, you can view the log of search words/phrases
which your customers have used. This helps you from a marketing standpoint to determine the most sought after products. Additionally, it helps you identify keywords which might be useful to include in the narrative descriptions or the meta tag for search engine submissions.
This module works with both the MMUI and OpenUI User
Interfaces (versions 2.22-4.x). If using the MMUI, six
edits in the mmui.mv file are required,
and one optional edit if you want to remove the
archaic standard Merchant, keyword search. If you have
compiled Merchant (4.14 or newer) that requires editing
and re-compiling, so for compiled Merchant, OpenUI is
required unless you have the compiler license. If you are
using the OpenUI, Power Search plugs into the OpenUI
without editing OpenUI modules and there is no need for
compiling in Merchant 4.14 and newer.
See the screen shot below, then check
out the selected field search in our store. We have
about 600 products in our store so you can get
an idea of search speed on a moderate speed server.
The Power Search function can also be used for pre-defined form pulldowns in your store. As an example, the genre and decade searches on the left side of this screen search a specific field, with store owner pre-defined selections. This same technique can be used for things like manufacturer searches if you have a manufacturer field in your products.dbf. Price: $25 Upgrade Cost: $15

The express order module allows you to display an express order form within Miva Merchant. This is useful for your customers who routinely order from a printed catalog with SKU numbers for each unique product or they order the same thing frequently and have the codes written down or memorized. If they know the product codes, they simply enter them and submit. This saves time since they do not have to do time consuming searches or browse categories and products looking for the items they want to order. It cannot be used for products which have variable attributes. The button to open the form can be placed in the headers or footers of any of the screens. It can also be placed in the category column. The module can be used with the OpenUI or MMUI user interfaces. Compiled - In the compiled version for Merchant 4.14 or newer is the automatic re-display of the express order input form if all of the entries are filled in on the previous submission. The express order screen will continue to re-display as long as all inputs are used and there are no errors in the product codes submitted. The button to open the Express Order screen can be positioned at just about any screen using the OpenUI Tokens if you are using the OpenUI. The store owner can define how many product entry inputs display on each page. Further, the store owner can use either the default display (with configured number of entries), or he/she can use the template Express Order screen. The template allows the store owner to move objects around and personalize the look of the Express Order screen. The error messages are configurable.
