Manage coupon addition and redemption functions within a Miva Merchant 5.x storefront with this plugin module. License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional license. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.

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.

Display up to five textboxes or checkboxes on any checkout screen
Flexible settings & HTML templates allow you to customize the display for your needs
Include the customer's entries in later checkout screens and in notification emails
Save the information in a database for reviewing in Merchant admin
This module allows your Miva Merchant store to request additional information from customers during checkout. You can display up to five different text boxes or checkboxes on any one of the three checkout screens. These can be used to collect information such as special instructions for the order, a message for a greeting card, newsletter request, etc.
After the customer enters their information, it is displayed on each subsequent checkout screen, so that the customer gets instant confirmation of what they entered.
The messages are also included in the notification emails to both the customer and merchant; and they are also saved in a database. The module's Order View screen allows you to view this database, so that you have a way to save and confirm a customer's messages in case any emails are lost.
For text boxes, you can specify each box's size, as well as the text prompt that appears above it, and the maximum and minimum length for the customer's entry. For checkboxes, you can specify the text prompt, the position of the check box (left or right of the prompt), and whether it defaults to checked or unchecked.
HTML templates and tokens are used to give you plenty of flexibility about how the messages are displayed: you can tailor their "look" to match the rest of your store.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Now you don't have to keep re-entering information into other programs! The Customer Invoice Simple Design module lets you print instant invoices in batches, right from admin. Ideal for store owners who are only operating online and want a quick way to run receipts.

If your PayPal account is either a "Business" or "Premier" PayPal account, this module guides the customer to the PayPal payment screens so that they do not get to the invoice screen without properly entering pay data. When the customer clicks the Pay button at the PayPal site, you can have the PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) send a silent update back to your payment history file which can be viewed in your Merchant admin:order edit screen. Unlike some other modules, if the customer does not return to Merchant, his order will still be processed and email notifications sent. When returning to your store, the invoice page will be displayed. You can also add additional instructions to inform customers what to expect at the PayPal site through the admin interface. If you are using Addendum in your store, you will need to use Addendum version 3.08 or newer when using the PayPal module. If your PayPal account is a "Personal" account, the flow for payment is a bit different. Contact me if your PayPal account is a "personal" PayPal account and I will give you the details.
Although the PayPal system is not like real time credit card processing and authorization systems, it is more like using the simple credit card validation. PayPal does the authorization using it's web accept and sends you a confirmation email. You match the Merchant notification emails with the PayPal confirmation emails. For added security, it is advisable to check the status on the PayPal web site (linked within Merchant admin). Once confirmations are verified that the money has transferred to your account, you can ship the products.
The Merchant version 2.x, 3.x and 4.x PayPal payment module can be used with both the MMUI and OpenUI look and feel. A single edit is needed if you are using the MMUI AND your PayPal account is a "Personal" account. If you have a "Business" or "Premier" PayPal account, the MMUI edit is NOT needed. An optional code edit can be also made to include the payment method in the merchant notification email. You may find it advantageous to use our Show Payment Type module instead which lists all payment methods in the email, not just PayPal. No code edits are needed if you are using the OpenUI for either the PayPal or Show Payment Type modules.
New in the compiled version is a report module. You can list orders by any time frame and specify only orders with a specific product code in them. You can also sort it by state or country according to their paypal.com account registration
This module is particularly useful for the small sized Mom and Pop store which does not want the added expense of setting up Merchant credit card accounts and having to meet minimum sales quotas. This store is a prime example, as I do not take credit cards directly. Rather you can pay for software at this store using PayPal, by signing up and debiting your credit card at PayPal. Try it out, I think you'll like it.
Additionally, it is a nice option for the big guys in that it makes online fulfillment possible for those customers who don't have credit cards but have built up an online balance through their own sales, e.g. through eBay. PayPal is the predominant method of payment at eBay. There are over 16,000,000 million PayPal accounts. Do not overlook these as potential customers at your store. Over 30,000 websites accept PayPal and are listed in the PayPal Shops at paypal.com. Can you afford not to be in that list? PayPal accounts are available to customers in the United States and many other countries around the world.
PayPal is currently giving you $5 to sign up and complete the bonus requirements. So do the math. Signup, order this $20 module and let PayPal pay $5 of the cost. How long this will last is anybody's guess, so don't wait too long.
If you are not familiar with how PayPal works, check it out. If you like it, sign up, then add this payment option to your store.
The purpose of this module is to allow customers to place a subscription order at a Miva Merchant (? Miva Corp) store which they will then pay for using their PayPal (? x.com) account. This module is licensed per domain. No additional store licenses are required if used within the same mall.
This module is specifically designed for subscription payments. It allows scheduling one or two trial periods, with or without a charge on the first trial. The second trail, if used, would charge the customer. You can skip the trial periods and only offer the regular subscription. The subsciption allows intervals established in days, weeks, months and years. The customer makes the first payment. They then pay at the store's preset interval automatically. PayPal notifies them as each payment due is paid. If the customer cancels or does not pay at any interval, the store owner is notified so that he/she can turn off the subscription. PayPal manages the payments and intervals and deposits the payments into your account automatically.
This module guides the customer to the PayPal payment screens so that they do not get to the invoice screen without properly entering pay data. When the customer clicks the Pay button at the PayPal site, you can have the PayPal Instant Payment Notification send a silent update back to your payment history file which can be viewed in your Merchant admin:order edit screen. Unlike some other modules, if the customer does not return to Merchant, his order will still be processed and email notifications sent. When returning to your store, the invoice page will be displayed. You can also add additional instructions to inform customers what to expect at the PayPal site.
The module default will allow all of your products to be purchased with subscriptions. However, you can limit that to only product codes which you want to sell as subscriptions. Use this module for magazine or ezine subscriptions. You can even use it for membership programs. As long as the customer keeps their payments current, you keep their membership active. If they fail to keep current, PayPal notifies you of the status. Use it to manage domain registrations or web hosting fees. If you sell software licenses which are renewable, PayPal can keep track of the renewal dates and notify the customer and you.

Although the PayPal system is not like real time credit card processing and authorization systems, it is more like using the simple credit card validation. PayPal does the authorization and sends you a confirmation email. You match the Merchant notification emails with the PayPal confirmation emails. For added security, it is advisable to check the status on the PayPal web site (linked to the specific transaction within Merchant admin). Once confirmations are verified that the money has transferred to your account, you can supply the products.
The Merchant version 2.x, 3.x and 4.x PayPal payment module can be used with both the MMUI and OpenUI look and feel. If using the MMUI, an optional code edit can be also made to include the payment method in the merchant notification email. You may find it advantageous to use our Show Payment Type module instead which lists all payment methods in the email, not just PayPal. No code edits are needed if you are using the OpenUI for either the PayPal or Show Payment Type modules.
Paypal is a well-established online instant payment service. Paypal allows individuals and small businesses to avoid the expense involved in setting up and maintaining a Merchant account. (Average fees for a Merchant account seem to range around $200 in set up fees, and $15-20/month in gateway fees--with Paypal you'll only pay the transaction fees, which are about the same as most credit card processors charge.) Besides credit card transactions, Paypal is also a convenient way to send money via email, and it is widely used at sites such as eBay where it accounts for 53% of transactions.
This module permits you to use PayPal Web Accept to process payments in your Miva Merchant store. Your customers will be taken to the PayPal site to transfer the money for the purchase to your account. They will then be returned to your store's Invoice page (assuming that the transfer was successfully made. It also provides the ability to verify the transaction with PayPal's records from within admin.
Unlike most off-site payment modules (those payment modules which require your customer to leave Merchant to process the payment), this module takes advantage of advanced features offered by PayPal to assure that a record of the purchase is made in Merchant as soon as the money is transfered! In many other such modules, if something goes wrong and the customer does not return to Merchant no record is made of the order; even though the money was transfered to your account! That won't happen with this module. The customer does not need to return to the invoice screen for Merchant to make a record of the sale.
The CustRMA module provides an administrative interface for handling the returns process. Store
administrators can manage product returns, track RMA numbers, and identify the credit method
for a return. When a returned product is received, the store administrator can check-off the items from the RMA list; once the entire return is received the RMA is automatically closed.
Key Benefits Include:
Select items being returned in the
Store Order page in the Miva
admin
Select the credit method for the
return
An RMA Tracking number is assigned
to those items
This number is used in all returns
communication with customer
Grouped items can be assigned
their own tracking number
Check off the returned items as
they arrive; this closes each RMA
ticket as it’s completed
Example Usage: A store that sells cakes and jelly beans
online accepts returns for jelly beans
that arrive stale at the customer’s
doorstep. It does not accept returns for
the cakes that it sells because the
cakes are baked and shipped on the
same day. They are never stale since
they get shipped over night. (The store
owner solved this problem with the
Copernicus Shipping SuperMod!) Well,
the owner purchased a batch of jelly
beans from a discount wholesaler
(whose name will not be revealed
here!) who sold him 200 pounds of
stale jelly beans!
The store owner is upset by this, and
wants to make it easy for his customers
to return the stale jelly beans. He
also wants to make sure that all of the
packages of jelly beans are returned
before he issues store credit to the
customer. The supplier who shipped
the stale jelly beans will replace the
200 pounds of jelly beans with fresh
jelly beans if all of the stale ones are
returned. Therefore, the storeowner
must meticulously track the return of
all of the packages of stale jelly beans.
He installs the Copernicus RMA Tracking
module and instantly he is tracking
every package of jelly beans that are
returned. He can track each package of
each order, assign RMA Tracking numbers
to assure proper accounting of
each package and knows exactly when
a return is completed. Since he also
wants to please his customers, he has
installed the Copernicus CustCredit
module so that instantly upon closure
of the RMA tracking ticket, the customer
receives store credit for the return
and can purchase new packages
of fresh jelly beans.
SPECIFICATIONS & TECHNICAL NOTES
When using this module alone, that
is, without any other products from the
Customer Service Suite, you create the
returns and inform your customers of
the RMA Tracking number and any updates
throughout the return process.
When used with the CustReturn and
CustContact modules, this becomes a
robust returns tracking system.
When used in conjunction with the
CustReturn module, you can accept
returns through your website, approve
or decline the return, attach an RMA
tracking number to the return and then
track all communication regarding all
aspects of the RMA through the Merchant
admin.
When the CustRMA module is used in
conjunction with the CustContact module,
you can track the communication
regarding the RMA Tracking number
through the mini-help desk. This way,
all communication regarding the return
is documented and can be referenced
as necessary throughout the return
process.
When used in conjunction with the
CustCredit module, the store owner
can track the return and automatically
provide a store credit to the customerupon successful closure of the RMA.
The Customer Service Suite of modules,
CustCredit, CustReturn, CustRMA
and CustContact can each be used
separately but are best when used
together as a comprehensive customer
service solution.

It's WIN-WIN No long term commitment to buy something, no "paid" version to unlock features. You download and install LaunchPad agreeing to use it unmodified and that's it. There is no obligation to come back to MvCool ever again.
But you MIGHT come back! MvCool has multiple new products listings weekly, special offers, and valuable announcements. We see a traffic spike after every email Newsletter which indicates that one of our biggest issues is keeping customers up-to-date with what's available!

We create a low impact portal to tell you about new products and specials at MvCool. These are displayed in the area to the right of the LaunchPad Panel.

- Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order
- Merchant notification and customer confirmation

In admin, you create one or more template emails. Each
template 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 credit
card authorization. The module will sort out which drop shipper gets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. You can still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processing verified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would save hand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flat file 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 address
and products ordered if using real time credit card
authorization. Products section can be torn/folded to
result in a shipping label with your company address included. If not using real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similar to the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a
promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specific
product or from a list of products
Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on
specific products or
product lines
Send an email to your cell phone's text messaging
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. Those
store owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of
their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track their
sales. In addition to the autoresponse email, mail manager
produces a flat file with order ID, date, product name,
product code, quantity, price for each, and price extended.
Periodically retrieve that flat file and import into a spreadsheet
for easy analysis.
With compiled Merchant, the included Mail Manager Report
module can display the contents of that flat file
through admin. It can filter the report by specific time
periods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits
of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for
excessively long time periods. It can also limit the
report to only one product code. Since the templates can
be designed for each vendor, you can create individual
vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each
vendor.
Literally, you can have a different autoresponder for every
product in your store.
However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:
Send a
welcome email before the order completes, but after
the customer completes the registration process (for those that
create an account)
Send a thank you for
rating a product (using our Rate This system)
along with a coupon code for taking the time to do so
Essentially any event in the mmui, oui or even another third party module can trigger an email which you write for the
particular event
You can use the
ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique
coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now. If you don't have an account with us yet, sign up and you'll see how it works.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite
diverse. Some of the variable features configured through
admin for each template are:
In the compiled version is 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 formatted emails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors, layout and even add images to your confirmation and notification emails. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template.
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
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
Link to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste from a flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability
exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system.
Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but
this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a
specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens
of different responses (individual or grouped) or a
wildcard response for all of the products. You can use it
to make connections not directly related to sales, yet
linked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about
the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800 number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery in hopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted,
intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store's
business and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sending out product specific, followup emails.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of the mmui.mv is needed and no OpenUI hook points are used. Thus, module conflict does not occur. The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. In the compiled version of Merchant (4.14 and newer), you
also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.

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.

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).
