2 Lost and Found Orders Weiland / Miva Central

Display the contents of baskets before and after the order is finalized. Once a customer enters their personal data, an order number is assigned to the basket. During the next few minutes a variety of things can happen, one of which is the order will be completed without error. On the other hand, an order may be not completed due to server error, communication between the payment processor and your store fails, the customer decides not to purchase, duplicate ID corruption occurs in your orders database, and any number of other perils.

If you have not packed your store databases, you may still be able to recover most information from lost orders. This module provides the ship to and bill to customer info. It lists the products and their attributes that were ordered. It lists the shipping, tax, coupons, discounts and other miscellaneous entries. It also displays the payment module and data element (not the CC number).

The data will remain in this file until you pack the store databases or the basket number is reclaimed by merchant. The number may be reclaimed if the customer re-visits your store after their earlier, abandoned basket had timed out. If they don't re-visit, the number will remain until you pack the store databases.

This module is also included in the Basket Master bundle. Save when you buy bundled module licenses.

6 truXoft P3P Privacy Policies truXoft / Miva Central

Blocked Cookies - Loosing Customers

Miva Merchant uses cookies (small files stored on the visitor's computer) for the identification of the visitor and for managing his/her session. When visitor's browser does not accept cookies from your website, the content of the basket may be lost when the customer clicks on the checkout button, opening the session in secure mode (SSL). Such visitors will not be able to complete the payment and will leave the store in most cases without even contacting you.

Browser Cookie Control and P3P

Modern browsers like the MSIE v6, depending on their configuration, automatically turn off cookies on sites that do not declare their privacy policies in so called P3P compact policy in HTTP headers. Declaring the P3P policies in the document or through a XML file is not sufficient, only the coded P3P compact policy is currently being recognized.

To stop loosing customers in Miva Merchant due to the lapse of P3P compact headers, the MmP3P module was developed. After installing the module and registering your license key, you can enter your P3P compact policy into its settings, and MmP3P will take care about serving them properly with every Merchant page.

P3P Privacy Policies

The default compact P3P policy of the MmP3P module matches a typical and generic Miva Merchant store, but the definitive setting must be customized to match your real privacy policies about collecting and handling user data and therefore you should generate the P3P policies with the help of one of available services and then enter the code into the MmP3P settings. Detailed information about P3P Privacy Policies, including FAQ, links to P3P validators, generators and consultancy services may be found at the W3C Consortium. Privacy Council is one of the sites offering free automated generator of Compact P3P policies.

7 Starter Kit Emporium Plus / Miva Central

As a Miva Merchant storefront licensee, you have discovered that you have a powerful shopping cart system. One of the strengths of Miva Merchant is its ability to plugin 3rd party modules to provide off-the-shelf, additional features at reasonable cost. You may have found that the cost can quickly add up and you are not exactly sure which additional features would be of benefit. We have assembled a bundle of a dozen of our most popular plugin modules. Literally hundreds of stores have found these to be the "must have" modules. As this is a bundle, it's cumulative price is 30% less than the sum of the individual module prices.

The modules in this bundle can be classified as storefront enhancement, discount, checkout, search engine optimization, and administrative back-end modules. The detailed module features and capabilities can be reviewed by clicking on the module names in the components list below. Please review each of the individual product descriptions so you fully understand what is included before selecting this bundle deal.

Non-refundable: Due to the number of popular modules included in this bundle, this bundle deal is not refundable.

Compiled Merchant only: This bundle is only available for Miva Merchant 4.14 and newer. As it is a starter kit, nobody should be creating new stores with old versions of Miva Merchant anyway.

Baker's Dozen: For a limited time, if you order this bundle, you can get one more Emporium Plus individual module (bundles are not eligible) at no extra charge in a separate order. Email Emporium Plus after paying for the starter kit and tell us which module you would like as a bonus and we will send you a coupon code for a second order to get that module free. A popular free module could be our Customer and Product Administration module which lets customers view their order history among other things (value $40.00).

OpenUI Required: About half of these modules require installation of the OpenUI before they can be installed.

8 Special Order Instructions Magic Metal Productions / Miva Central

Highlights

• 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.

10 CC Credit Card Data Removal truXoft / Miva Central

MmDELPAY protects your store from stealing sensitive payment data including Credit Card numbers by removing the entire payment record from the Miva Merchant databases.

Please note that when using the MmDELPAY, the order remains in your Merchant reports, but the entire payment record will be removed so you will not be able to process it through Miva Merchant, but will have to do it from the web interface of your payment gateway. MmDELPAY is not suitable to work together with the Simple CC Validation , because the payment data would be completely lost. For Simple Validation users, we recommend the Secure PGP E-mail Merchant Notification.

11 Automated Softgoods Delivery in Email Attachments truXoft / Miva Central

MmATTACH is an advanced customer notification email capable of software delivery in file attachments. Besides its flexible and powerful formatting capabilities, it can send product files, documents, catalogues, agreements, license or key files, or any other file attachments.

Advantages

Main Features

Instructions

Installation instrucitons may be found in the readme.txt included in the distribution package. After registering your license key, you can either use the "Product File Name Pattern" and upload the product files quickly with an FTP program, or you can upload individual product files through the "File Attachments" interface in the Product Details (Admin » Stores » 'your store' » Products » 'product xyz' » Email Attachments). You can combine both methods, fo course too - i.e. using the pattern for file names matching the product code (or another token or expression), and uploading individual files that do not match the pattern, through the Product Details.

You can use the module to attach the same file with every order (i.e. the license agreement) - in the MmATTACH » softgoods settings, put the file name instead of a variable/token expression into the "Product File Name Pattern".

We recommend using files of maximally up to several hundreds of kilobytes. Emailing huge files could cause serious delays during the checkout and common mailboxes are often limited in size and may refuse huge attachments. We also recommend avoiding executable files (*.exe, *.js, *.com,...) - many email clients and antivirus programs are set to block them. Use zipped archives instead.

Support

truXoft offers limited free support within 30 days after the purchase of the module. Issues not included in the free support:

• HTML or CSS design questions
• Any other issues not directly related to MmATTACH

Compatibility

• Any UI (MMUI, OUI, KCUI,...)
• Miva Merchant v4.14 or higher
• Miva Empresa v4.07 or higher
• MSIE 6 recommended for the Administration interface of truXoft modules

12 PIN Number Fulfillment Viking Coders / Miva Central

PIN Fulfillment allows you to automatically issue PIN Numbers to customers when qualifying products are purchased. This module was developed for stores selling calling cards, but can be used for issuing any type of unique code for products, such as license keys, passwords, etc. The only requirement is that each "PIN" number is unique. Optionally, a second configurable field may be used to go along with PIN numbers. It might be used for a phone number, if selling calling cards, or for a password if selling logins/passwords, etc. The labels for both fields are configurable.

PIN numbers may be sent in a separate email and/or displayed in the invoice. Note: displaying on the invoice requires Merchant 4.0 or higher and the OpenUI, MMUI installation instructions for enabling this feature will be provided upon request.

The admin settings allow you to customize the email from address, cc, subject, header, and footer. You can also optionally be auto-notified when PIN numbers are running low for a product.

PIN Fulfillment may also be configured so that PIN numbers are only auto-issued to customers assigned to a particular availability group (by default all orders are auto-approved). If the customer isn't assigned, the orders can be manually approved from an order history console. You can auto-assign customers to the availability group when manually approving orders as well.

You can also setup the module to allow customers to view their PIN order history from the account edit screen. Note: this feature requires Merchant 4.0 or higher and the OpenUI, MMUI installation instructions for enabling this feature will be provided upon request. Additionally, you can set a customer order counter and receive notifications when customers' PIN orders have reached multiples of that counter (for rewarding frequent shoppers with coupons, etc.).

PIN Numbers can be manually added for products via a simple to use console in the edit products screen, or in bulk using the included import module.

An order history database is maintained, and easily viewed with a searchable console (for looking up lost PIN numbers for customers, etc.). The console also features optional search filters for searching by order number, customer name, customer email, product code, and PIN number.

14 Power Search v5 Emporium Plus / Miva Central

Search specific fields and sort results. Allow a customer to search one or more fields which are made selectable by the store owner. The store owner can choose, in the admin screen, any fields within the products database or the MIVA Merchant built in custom product fields database to be available. The Power Search module uses a mirror database of your products, custom fields and categories; much like the big search engines use. By creating a mirror before the search is made, many operations to join multiple databases togethercan be avoided, so the customer gets a much faster search. Customers can also sort the results on fields like name, code, price, cost, when they were added to the store, or the default display order the store owner established for productlists. The build of the mirror database goes quite quickly and is a maintenance procedure you will do periodically. The small amount of time you take to build the mirror will save your customers significant amounts of time in their searches vs searches which don't use an optimized mirror database. Buildingthe mirror is not required just because products are added, deleted, or edited; as those processes update the mirror automatically without needing a rebuild. See the install doc for details.

Category selectable. Customers can use the category selector to select just one category to search. The default is to search the whole store. You can use the built in token which lists all categories with one or more products in them oryou can build your own select list of only certain categories.

Multiple search types. The customer can select how they want to search the database. The default is to search for products where all (boolean AND) of the keywords entered are found in the record. The customer can broaden that search so that any (boolean OR) of the words are found in the record. They can search by exact phrase so that the words must appear in thesame order in the record as was entered in the search input. They can also search the fields where the data in the field begins with the search string. This is useful for things like finding all of the products whose NAME begins with a specific letter and allows you to have a list of A-Z links that implement that specific search.

Advanced pagination. The module can display the total number of products found which match the search condition. Additionally, the pagesare numbered, e.g. Page 3 of 20, when results exceed the configurable number of products per page. You can also display alist of page numbers and links to those pages so the customer can jump to the page they want to look at. This pagination is similar to that used in the Emporium Plus Category Manager module.

Product layout template can be customized. In the 'srch' page template, there is a "search results layout". If you are happy with that layout, you can copy and paste the contents of that template into the Power Search module's product layout template. You can then modify the layout in the Power Search admin screen.

Price range searching. While searching the price field might be useful in some cases, a more popular search is price range. Within the searchable fields section, the customer has the option of entering a low and high price to create a range. If left blank, the search will not be filtered by price range.

Tell a friend module interface. If the store is using the Emporium Plus Tell A Friend module, customers can send the search string from Power Search to friends. The link in the email will go to the same page of products that the customer was on when they clicked the Tell A Friend button.

Return to search page link. After going to the product page from a Power Search rendered search, a convenient "return to search" link on the product page can bring the customer back to the original search page.

Search log with admin report. 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 and possibly the need to carry a new product. Additionally, it helps you identify keywords which might be useful to include in the narrative descriptions or the meta tags for search engine submissions and even local searches in your store. As example, while you might have a product called flip flops, customers might be searching for thong sandals (which is the same thing). But if you had not used those words in your description, you may have lost the sale. The log can be purged in the admin screen to reduce its size as desired.

Optimized search of built-in custom product fields. This module does not require that you use a proprietary 3rd party module for the custom product fields. It uses the built-in custom product fields module from MIVA Corp, thereby ensuring compatibility with other 3rd party modules which use those same custom product fields. No need to go down that proprietary datafield path of no return. As example, the Emporium Plus Template Data Feed module can use the built-in custom product fields to populate feeds to just about any search engine and shopping index with those "special" fields those indexes require.

Live examples. We cannot link to our demo Merchant 5 store from MivaCentral so if you'd like to see a couple of the live pages demonstrating searches, please contact us for the link. You can check out the selected field search in our test store which has about 600 products with multiple custom product fields. Try some searches so you can get an idea of search speed.

Pre-defined selectors. The Power Search function can also be used for pre-defined select pulldowns in your store. An example of genre and decade searches are in the lower left column of our test store's storefront screen. It will 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 custom product fields.

Liberal licensing. License is for ONE domain/mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional licenses.

This module requires that you are using MIVA Engine v5.03 or newer. When you log into admin, you can see which version of the engine is in use in your store.
