Possible uses:
Customer Appreciation discounts -- "After purchasing $500 of merchandise in our online store, you become a member of our Gold Level, receiving a 5% discount. When your order totals reach $1000, you become a Platinum member, and receive a 15% discount on all products!!!" (This would be done with Price Group assignment).
Points Discounts -- Set up a Membership with a plateau of 0.01 to give all customers who purchase a membership into your Points system.
Membership SuperMod for Discounts Sales and Membership Rewards
The Membership SuperMod allows you to create Membership Groups in Miva Merchant giving the store owner ways to reward customers through Customer Appreciation Discounts, Sales and Points that can be redeemed for a discount. The storeowner can make various Membership Groups allowing the owner to offer different levels of Membership (and its benefits) depending on the “level of loyalty” of the customer. Customers can be automatically moved from one Membership Group to the next as their purchasing increases. The Membership SuperMod also provides facilities to create special time-based sales for all shoppers in the store.
Key Benefits:
User Interface Independent: Utilizes standard features of Miva Merchant for setting discounts and availability. Can be used with MMUI and OpenUI.
Full automatic control of all Price and Availability Group customer assignments. Membership Groups define a set of price and availability groups that are automatically applied to all members of the Membership Group.
Membership Groups can have a set beginning date, expiration date or specific duration
Configurable to display discounts as a price reduction in the basket and checkout screens so customer is aware of their savings
Basket price adjustments are performed when a user logs in; thus allowing the customer to take advantage of their membership even if they log in after shopping.
Membership and Sales Features:
Time-duration based sales: The store administrator can configure special “Automatic” membership groups that apply to every customer immediately upon login. This is useful for creating special sales periods where all shoppers receive a discount on any or all products in the store
Membership Rewards Program: Provide multiple levels of discounts to customers based on their purchase history. Memberships into discount (price) groups can occur by point accumulation, purchase accumulation, or points spent.
Points Redemption Program: Provide a points redemption program where customers accumulate points based on purchase history, then can receive discounts in the store by redeeming points for discounts.
Exclusive Membership Groups: The storeowner can create membership groups that remove the customer from all other groups as they enter an exclusive group.
Automatic entry into membership groups based on:
Purchase of a specific product
Prior Price or Availability Group membership
Entering Membership Code into the customer account
Automatic removal from membership groups based on:
Allowed duration of a membership
Expiration date of a membership
Entry into an exclusive group
Manual expiration by administrator
Customer benefits:
Receive pre-established discounts at checkout when part of a Membership Group
Accumulate points when making purchases
Redeem accumulated points when making purchases
Receive pre-established discounts and earn/use points even if login to Membership Group during a shopping session
Pay with dollars (in addition to points) if there are not enough points accumulated to cover the cost of the entire order
Storeowner has complete control when creating Membership Groups
Optionally create a “Signup Fee” for the Membership Group
Limit the duration of a Membership Group (in days) – great for running sales!
Manually adjust the number of points in a customer record
Allow or disallow points to be used to pay for tax or shipping
Include Price and Availability Groups in the Membership Group
Track total purchases, discounts, points earned and points spent by customer
Add customers to a group and individually specify their end date within the Membership Group
Determine thresholds for automatic inclusion of a customer in a Membership Group
Product Requirements: The major features of the Membership SuperMod are provided through the standard Miva Merchant API. Thus, this module can be used in any Miva Merchant 4.x store. However, in order to redeem points at checkout and fully customize the module display and layout features, you must be using a UI module that provides templates or tokens- either OpenUI or MMUI with the Copernicus DynamicTemplate Engine. OpenUI users who also have the OpenUI SuperMod can perform additional customizations that are not available when just using OpenUI.
Uncompiled Miva Merchant 4.00-4.13:
OpenUI 4.9+ based stores
MMUI based stores
Miva Merchant 4.14+
OpenUI 4.9+ based stores
MMUI based stores
When the Membership SuperMod is used with Dynamic Templates for MMUI-based stores or with the OpenUI SuperMod for OpenUI-based stores, the storeowner can take advantage of the templates and tokens available in these modules thus allowing the storeowner to tailor the module output to his specific needs.
The Point Track MemberShip module is a tool that can be used to help retain customers by offering incentives to keep them shopping at your store by giving loyal customers discounts, awards, and access to availability and price groups. It requires compiled Merchant 4/OpenUI and is Token Enabled.
Point Track Highlights:
Give Points: givepoints for every dollar purchase
Redeem Points:your customer can use points they've accumulated toward purchases
Point Plateaus:Create memberships by amount accumulated # of points. When your customer reachesa certain #, they can automatically be assigned to the next level
Groups: You canassign each level to a specific price group and/or availability group
This module has many other feature too:
Assign a specific productto activate a membership and/or assign to availability/price group
Manually assign customersto a group level.
Use tokens to displayinformation about the customers membership, etc.
A simple example: gives every one that creates an account and makes a purchase, a point-based discount on future purchases.
Create a membership called"Base."
Assign the threshholdto $0.01.
Assign the number ofpoints earned per dollar spent to "1."
Next, assign the # ofpoints per dollar to "10."
Your customer will receivea $1.00 discount for every 10 points earned
Requirements: compiled Merchant 4/OpenUI and is Token Enabled.
Communication of order status with your customers is a critical element in the overall success of your store. Provide order status change emails to customers, keep track of order changes with backend administrative notes, and provide customers with an easy login view of their order status and invoice. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Order status updated in admin including tracking numbers and admin notes - Bulk update several orders' status with a single click - Status change emails with tracking links can optionally be sent to customers - Unlimited number of templates for the status change emails - Quick inventory adjustment when orders are cancelled - End of day (EOD) productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or specific date - EOD display all records or just the records with a specific status - EOD contains links to the order edit screen for easy viewing of an individual order - EOD display of products sold summary reports - Run a Stock Level Report (SLR) to determine which items are nearing depletion - Editable interface to change the inventory levels of all/any products in the SLR - Export the SLR for mass editing/importing or to interface with your office backend - Annotate progress updates from multiple departments within the order record - Progress is visibile to other admin entities within your store at all times - Customers can view their order status history including tracking links and product lists - Order status history can use default or store built template - Customers can view their invoice within current orders from the order status history or the link in the confirmation email - Customers can view their order status and shipping tracking by entering their order number and email - Customers can have one click re-order from invoices in the current orders - Auto-assign customer membership to price groups based on their order total history
Feature Details. Provide order status change emails to customers, keep track of order changes with backend administrative notes, and provide customers with an easy login view of their order status and invoice. Easily manage customer communication with this module and the related modules below.
The membership system allows you to automatically include customers into price groups when they log into your store and is based on their prior purchase history. You set up your price groups as you would any price groups and assign the applicable products to those groups. Then you specify a trigger level required for the customer to be a member of each group. You can insert tokens into the applicable screens, e.g. customer edit, welcome back returning and new customers. Then when they log in, the token runs the order history for the status codes you specify (e.g. F for filled), sums the totals, and checks to see if they meet a membership level. If they do, they are inserted into the highest qualified price group.
In addition to enhanced communication with your customers, you may want to manage product levels associated with orders and cancelled orders. Miva Merchant allows you to track stock levels of your products online. As products are placed in the basket, the level is decremented. If the order is not completed, the products are returned to the shelf when you delete expired baskets. If the order is cancelled, the products are not automatically returned to stock in the core Miva Merchant. The customer and product management modules interface with the built in internal inventory management (IM) system to improve the overall IM usability.
In the administrative interface:
Shipping tracking numbers, entered through admin, display in the customer account and the status update email (can be linked directly to the shipper tracking page)
Change the order status and optionally send the customer an order status email which can vary based on the style of the status email chosen. Email styles are created using templates with tokens for insertion of specific variables. Can update several orders at once with the bulk status update feature.
Run an end of day-productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or a specific date displaying all records or just the records with a specific status. A convenient link to the order edit screen makes viewing an individual order quick and easy.
Re-establish inventory levels for a product when an order has been cancelled (auto-restock) or new quantities are put in your inventory.
Run a Stock Level Report to determine which items are nearing depletion or all products being managed for inventory. The module admin console includes an easily editable interface to change the inventory levels of all/any products in the report.
Export a flat file of product codes, quantity, and product name for easy mass editing/importing or to interface with your office backend systems or for re-import into Merchant itself.
Additional order related data can be added in the admin screen; employee code making the status change, date of the change, narrative notes about the order, numeric value (e.g. for adjustments). Multiple admin updates can be made to each order's record by any department within your store (packing, shipping, accounting, returns, etc).
From the customer account record:
Customers can view the status of all of their orders, including update information (e.g. tracking numbers) which is entered by the store owner through admin. The order status history display can be modified by the store owner with a template and tokens. You can even include hot links to carriers' tracking systems with the number filled in. You'll need to enter your carrier tracking URLs into the module's admin configuration screen. The number of carrier URLs you include in admin is not limited.
Customers can view their previous invoices as long as they are in online batches or still in the unbatched orders.
Even after orders and batches are deleted (you may delete processed orders to save disk space) the customer can still review the basic products listed in their order along with the shipping and payment info.
Customers can re-order/duplicate a previous order with a single click from the invoice (order details page) which are still in online batches (i.e. not deleted) or as yet unbatched orders.
Be sure to take a look at our other related modules which can enhance store - customer - vendor communication even further. They include:
Contact Manager - provide a support interface without needlessly including your email on your store's pages for spam harvesters to capture
Event Reminder - customers and store admin can schedule reminders to themselves or others for specific events/tasks at specific times
Follow-on Contact - generate after sales communication at pre-determined points of time in the future
Mail Manager - generate template emails (with tokens) as HTML or text as an auto-response, e.g. as customer order confirmation or even welcome emails
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.
Upon the order completion the module creates a temporary directory with cryptic name (you can define the length of the random cryptic directory name), locks it with user name/password and copies there all ordered products or documents that are set up for download (or remote access - e.g. at courses or member restricted websites). Beyond the (optional) login/password, it allows an additional security with (optional) crosschecking of cookies, IP address, browser version and several other parameters. You can also set the account expiration time after which the directory will be automatically removed. All this runs with symbolic links, it means the original files or documents are stored out of the public area, in the Miva data directory and they are not transferred or copied physically. So for example if you have a software product or a document for download of 1MB and 100 active customers, it does not take 100MB of disk space, but still just 1MB - and additionally the account creation is much faster and less resource intensive than when copying whole files.
Notifications with the download links may be sent to the customer either immediately upon the purchase with a selected payment method (e.g. a credit card) or after approving the order manually from the Ultra Batch Report. If you do not own the Ultra Batch module, you can use the MmHTML (Merchant Notification Email module) instead of the MmHTMLc (Customer Confirmation Email module) and forward the received Merchant notification e-mail to the customer after approving the purchase.
Software, Content, Website access delivery through protected URLs
Multiple protection: cryptic URL name, password, IP address, host name, cookie, browser version, language settings,...
MmPASS optionally either re-uses Miva Merchant passwords or generates own secure random passwords of defined length.
Account expiration time may be set from seconds to years long
Subsequent orders of a customer may be optionally kept in his personal folder or in a new folder with separate settings and protection.
No neccessity to set up each product individually. All files may be set up quickly with a single customizable name pattern to avoid complicated settings.
Original data are stored in the non-public Miva data directory with no access from the web.
No files are being copied - only a single set of the original files remains on the disk. Virtual copies are created without moving any data, through symbolic links.
Solution with symbolic links means no additional disk space requirements
Creating symbolic links is much faster and less resource intensive than copying of files
NO external cgi programs are necessary and therefore high compatibility and easy installation is provided
Each product may be associated with a single or multiple files, documents, directories, URLs or with a whole tree structure.
You can mix software and hardware (downloadable and non-downloadable products)
Different files / URLs may be optionally offered for products with attributes / options.
Product attributes / options may be served as independent products (same file for all products) or another file may be defined for each product/attribute combination.
At each product, different files may be served for users depending on their location or other parameters.
You can deliver the URLs do the customer immediately upon payment (with MmHTMLc) or later after a manual approval (with MmHTML or with MmPSLP and the Ultra Batch Report)
NEW: You can select payment methods for automated and manual processing
NEW: members/customer may now use common entry URL (simple to remember)
NEW:Admin interface in Ultra Batch - account managment
NEW:individual expiration time for each product may be set now
Supports Miva Merchant 2, 3 and 4 on Unix / Apache and with some restrictions also on Windows servers
Does not require OpenUI. Works with both OUI and MMUI.
No OUI hook conflicts - truXoft modules are 100% conform to the Miva Merchant API, they do not use OUI extensions and therefore never cause hook conflicts with other modules, otherwise common at OUI modules.
clixGalore Affiliate Tracking is a simple to use plug-in allowing Merchant to work with the clixGalore affiliate program. You must be a clixGalore member before using this module.
clixGalore is the recommended affiliate program by mivahelp.com, offering an affordable service. This module can work with all levels of clixGalore membership, from Bronze to Corporate Platinum.

Follow the big dogs! Now Miva Merchant can remember your customers just like the big name e-commerce sites on the web. When logging in, customers can choose to have your store remember their login information. Then, the next time they visit your store, Miva Merchant will automatically log them in!
Customer logins can be remembered for any number of days, and the text on the login page can be customized to fit your needs. See the slideshow for more details.
Note: This module will only work if the non-secure and secure portions of your store use the same domain name. Thus, you must not be using a shared SSL certificate. Additionally, if you use a prefix (such as "www.yourdomain.com" instead of just "yourdomain.com") then the same prefix must be used by both the non-secure and secure portions. Contact us if you need assistance to determine if your settings allow use of this module.

This tutorial subscription is different than all other Miva Merchant training methods because it is constantly updated, there are OpenUI and MMUI tutorials, as well as extensive tutorials on most popular third party modules, including offline products like Storeman. With the cooperation of third party developers, when a module is updated, or a new module is released, Merchant How To will create a new tutorial.
And more as it is released. Click the link to see examples of tutorials.
NOTES: Please allow up to 24 hours for activation. Tutorial Flash files can be large, so it is recommended that you have a broadband Internet connection to enjoy the tutorials. This tutorial subscription is new, so not all tutorials listed at MerchantHowTo.com are immediately available. Also, since this subscription is essentially electronic distribution of knowledge, and since there are several examples and a list of tutorials available prior to purchase, no refunds can be granted on these tutorials.

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.
The Points Redemption Manager gives store owners another opportunity to reward their customers. This module gives you the ability to award points to your customers based on their purchases. These awarded points can then be used on future purchases for a discount.
The CheckOut SuperMod allows your customers to determine the shipping method for each individual item in a single order and then the appropriate shipping and tax calculations are made to determine the total shipping amount for the entire order. Items in an order that are using the same shipping method are grouped to properly calculate the shipping price for the group of items. Now your customers can check out of your store with multiple shipping methods or shipping addresses* in the same order and the shipping is calculated properly.
Key Benefits Include:
Advanced Shipping Screen that gives customers the ability to select a different shipping method for every item in the order
When the Advanced Shipping Screen is used, the items in the order are internally grouped by shipping method so that items using the same shipping method are calculated and displayed together
Customer can choose to go to Advanced Shipping Screen to ship every item via a separate shipping method or can choose to not go to the Advanced Shipping Screen and instead ship everything in the order using the same shipping method
Configurable title for the link to the Advanced Shipping Screen from the payment/shipping selection checkout screen.
Shipping charges from the Advanced Shipping Screen can be viewed on further checkout screens including the Screen Invoice and emailed invoice
Return to shopping after having used the Advanced Shipping Screen and the settings are remembered for checkout and shopper is automatically taken to the Advanced Shipping Screen upon checkout
Ability to split line items of multiple-quantity products into individual line-items for different option selections including shipping and address* selections.
Works with existing third-party shipping modules
Integrates and shares data with the Shipping SuperMod and Address SuperMod from Copernicus giving you even more functionality!
When used with the Address SuperMod, each item in the order can be shipped to a different address. Upon checkout, items to common addresses using common shipping methods are grouped together, and proper shipping charges are applied to each shipment. Further, items are then grouped by address for proper tax calculations to each address in the order.
Extra functionality for users of the OpenUI SuperMod – Special Virtual Modules and tokens are provided for advanced control over checkout displays. Bonus Virtual Module provides the ability to “Split Line Items” in the basket (normally only appears on advanced shipping screen).
Note: Multiple address selections are only available when used with the Address SuperMod.
For complete control of the checkout process the Address SuperMod™, CheckOut SuperMod™, and Shipping SuperMod™ all work together. Each item in the basket can then be shipped to a different address using a different shipping method. Shipping methods available to each address can be filtered based upon the products in the basket, the destination, etc., and shipping and tax for each shipment is calculated individually.
Please Note - The CheckOut SuperMod significantly alters the checkout process of your store. The CheckOut SuperMod takes the checkout process beyond that allowed by Miva Merchant, which is why the module allows your customers to checkout of your storefront with multiple shipping methods and/or to multiple addresses (when used with the Address SuperMod) in a single order. Please be sure to test-drive this module on Miva Mia with any other third-party modules you have installed. To get a free distribution of the CheckOut SuperMod for use on Miva Mia, just fill out a Trial Request Form at http://www.copernicusllc.com/support/free/trial.
The highly configurable Out of Stock Wait List module allows customers to be notified when stock levels are replenished for items that are temporarily out of stock. It can also be used for "coming soon" items so customers can sign up to be notifed when an item is available. This module features advanced admin options such as customizable messages and buttons, "tokens" which give you full display control and allow dynamic content of notification messages, an inventory threshold level that must be met before sending back in stock notifications, a continue shopping button that remembers where the customer came from after adding an item, and more. Wait List buttons appear on all product pages, including category pages, search results, products list pages, and full product display pages, for out of stock items which are not set to be hidden when out of stock.
All items on the wait list can be viewed and selectively processed via the easy to use utility console. The auto-refresh mailing engine can send an unlimited number of notifications at once without timing out. Notifications for all items back in stock can be sent with a single click, or you can selectively decide which notifications to send in the console.
This module is fully compatible with all the features of the inventory system with Merchant 4.x, including support for product-by-product out of stock levels. (Out of stock levels do not necessarily have to be zero in Merchant 4.x.)
With a polished user interface and administrative back-end, the Out of Stock Wait List module is a full featured system to prevent low stock levels from turning away customers.
Show customers a MSRP, and require them to validate themselves before showing them their price & savings. Upon receiving their discount code in an e-mail, they can either click the link in the e-mail received, or enter enter the code back into the browser. Once validated using the Discount Code, they can see this products price, and add it to their cart.
The store remembers this computer having access to the product. Product is pin-pointed for use of a discount code, by adding "DC_" to the product code.
Discount your product base prices based on the number of items ordered of identical products, eg 1-3 = standard price, 4-6 = lower, etc. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Discount product prices based on quantity ordered - Easy from - to price breaks in a single input - Unlimited price break ranges - Fixed price or percentage off regular price - Optional automatic start and stop dates for volume pricing - Use our time zone offset to adjust the time that the date changes - Each product can have different price breaks and dates - Can use price groups with percentage discounts - Optionally apply price group discount "on top of" volume price breaks - Can exclude price groups from volume pricing - Can exclude all except specific price groups - Hide or display table which depicts price breaks - Include a quantity input in the table on category pages - Volume price can be applied on identical products or can amalgamate - Can amalgamate discounts of different attributes in the same product - Optional "as low as" to replace regular price - Optional strike thru of regular price followed by volume price - Can put all or some of your store products on sale within seconds - Can remove all volume pricing in the store within seconds - Flat file import for quick update - Optional wild card can apply same volume pricing to all products - Export volume pricing settings to flat file - Use render tokens to place "as low as" and table on applicable screens - Licensed by domain, unlimited stores under one MIVA Merchant mall pay no additional license fee
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.
Easy Inventory Update provides a much more efficient way to view and update inventory levels for Miva Merchant 4.x.
In Console Mode, Easy Inventory Update displays current inventory levels for all products, or for selected products based on your search criteria, and allows one click updating of multiple products. The Console also features advanced filters for displaying inventory greater than, less than, or equal to a particular inventory level. An unlimited number of product inventory counts can be viewed and updated from one screen.
For regular updates, Easy Inventory Update also runs in Import Mode. Unlike importing inventory levels with the standard product import module, Import Mode can either adjust current inventory levels based on the new count, or overwrite current inventory levels with the new count altogether. Easy Inventory Update also remembers all your settings for simple, one click imports.
If you need to make frequent updates to inventory, or just need a better way to keep on top of inventory levels, save yourself some time with Easy Inventory Update.

All of the powerful, mature modules we've been developing and improving since the beginning of Miva Merchant - currently over $8500 worth - without steep up-front capital investments. Imagine installing them with a single click: no purchasing, no downloading, no license keys to keep track of - and imagine keeping them updated with the same simplicity.
With the rental program, store owners are provided with a single module to install, and a single rental license key. Anyone familiar with our OpenUI Installer/Updater will immediately understand the power and simplicity of this Rental module - from which you can quickly select any of our modules to be transparently installed and registered for your store.

Tax exemption for Business to Business transactions can be implemented with the B2B Tax Exempt module. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - 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 Miva Merchant store and they enter their sales tax exemption ID, all sales tax will be zeroed out on the transaction. The module has no way of knowing if their ID is valid or if their purchase qualifies under your state's guidelines. It is up to you to verify whether the customer was untruthful in their submission.
The module can optionally 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. It can also be hidden and the tax exemption automatically assigned for members of the specified availability group.
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.
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.
Have you ever wondered why you're not getting massive hits on your Miva Merchant Store when you have the best prices on the Internet? Ever searched the internet through a search engine only to find that some ancient, inefficient and cumbersome old site is getting all the hits that you deserve?
Well now its time to get serious, its time to get even... its time to bring in the Search Engine KILLER.
THE PROBLEM merchant.mv?thisandthat
The problem with Miva Merchant and other database driven stores is that the technology used to access and display the product information is NOT search engine friendly.. In fact, most search engines will ignore EVERY PAGE of your eStore!
Someone somewhere made the decision that URLs with arguments, information passed long with the URL eg. file.mv?argument1&argument2 etc, indicates that the page isn't worth indexing, but these arguments are essential to any database driven store. Some search engines even refuse to index pages that are .mv! (Northern Light for one).
As a result, your state of the art Miva Merchant Store is missing out on major search engine exposure, and your competitors lousy mall which they hand create using FrontPage97 is getting all the hits.. JUST BECAUSE EVERY PAGE IS A STATIC HTML PAGE.
In an ideal world, what you need is the sophistication of your Miva Merchant Mall and the search engine pulling power of a good old HTML site too.
THE SOLUTION Now YOU can live in that ideal world!
Search Engine Killer (or SEK for short) is perhaps the most significant software release for Merchant stores EVER!
While it adds NOTHING to the functionality of Merchant, it wages war on search engines - those sites who may well decide how much money you make next month.
It is a sophisticated complementary product which runs seperately from Merchant, but knows everything about your store!
The mirror site is:
100% HTML
Designed with the Search Engine in mind using the Title tag, Meta Tags, text placement, IMG ALT attributes and more to get you the best possible search engine ranking.
automatically generates HTML pages from the information stored within Merchant:
- an index.html page for submition to search engines with a link to every other generated page - an html page for each category and subcategory, eg. your_category_code.html which lists every product and links to.. - an html page for each product
product pictures througout! The SEK Mirror references the URL of the product images already online in your real merchant store!
multiple links on every html page to both the SEK Mirror pages (so that the search engines find and index every single page) and directly to your Merchant Mall..
dynamic referencing technology is used so that the links back to your Miva Merchant Mall are context sensitive. eg. SEK Mirror product pages click straight through to the appropriate BUY ONE page in your real Merchant Store!
remembers your previous preferences to allow ultra-fast regeneration after significant changes to your mall
SAME NAMING CONVENTIONS AS SEK1
the html files generated are named using the Merchant Category and Product codes you have specified in Merchnat so that even after a new mirror is generated the Search Engines find previously indexed files.
Even if search engines DID spider every page of your Merchant Store, there is NO WAY that it would get the same high rankings. Your SEK Mirrors site is built from the ground up with search engines in mind by a developer with many years of experience in site promotion.
and here is the trick..
EVERY PAGE IS DESIGNED TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT IS YOUR STORE WHEN IT IS REALLY JUST A TEASER PAGE
What will it mean to your business to be able to submit a single html page to search engines and have their spider catalog every category and product you have?
How would you like to be able to strengthen your position by submitting an html page for each category that can also be submitted seperately?
