Found 7 Modules or Applications that might fit the bill
Use caution when considering any modules from modStop. Their support has been reported by umpteen Miva Merchant users as suspect and worse. Some of their modules are simple and shouldn't require support. Please contact us with any questions concerning them or their modules.
Display a brief summary of items currently in each customer's basket as they shop within a Miva Merchant store, provide a storefront display of the shipping charges, and list their recently visited product pages in your store with quick link and add button.

The Mini-basket "view" is configured in the admin interface. The title of the Mini-basket, column headings, font size and color are configurable. You also have the option of a checkout link appearing in the Mini-basket when a specific order subtotal has been reached, thus allowing for minimum orders if you have disabled the checkout button in the standard Merchant nav bar. You can also allow customers to preview shipping options and costs with a single click if they enter ship to location info. Customers do not need to be logged in to view the shipping options. The Mini-basket title, checkout
button, and shipping option link can be displayed with either text or image. The basket title is linked to the full basket contents
display and the checkout is linked to the checkout screens. The shipping option
link runs the installed shipping modules to display the available methods.
In the compiled version of Merchant we have included
footsteps of customers' recent travels to the product pages in the store. The display remains closed unless the customer clicks the link for the recent visits, thus not taking too much space. When displayed, an Add to basket button can be included so the customer can easily add products which they had visited earlier and now they want
to add them without having to search or drill down though the categories. This reminder of pages visited lessens the chance of forgetting something before the customer checks out. The convenient links allows the customer to quickly go back and take a look at the products again. The
recent visit history will remain available for the length the store owner has set for basket timeout. Additionally, for your customers who login, you can have the history availability
extended for any number of additional hours, as they are more likely to return and make a purchase. The recent visit history can be included within the mini-basket table or outside of it. If you want to place the visit history outside of the mini-basket, you can use tokens in the header and footers of screens if you are using the OpenUI. We
have included a "view" feature in admin that allows the store owner to monitor live activity in the store. All recent product page visits are listed the admin screen. Customers not using cookies or whose browser is creating a different session ID with each page click will not be able to display their recent history, however the store owner will still be able to see the pages currently being visited.
In the compiled version are new admin configuration options, e.g. border
color and text to display when the basket is empty. If you are using one of the sort shipping modules like our Shipping List or our Sort Shipping Plus Free Shipping Option or the Shipping SuperMod from Copernicus, you can configure the Mini-basket module to use the sort
order of those modules. You can configure the product
data column to display the full product name, or code, or a portion of the product name (20, 30, or 40 characters). In addition to the several locations available using OpenUI
hook points, you can use OpenUI tokens to place the display within headers and footers of the Miva Merchant screens. You can also make the mini-basket invisible until at least one item is added to the basket. You can also include an image in the mini-basket immediately after addition of a product to the basket. Many times customers don't realize
a product was added so they click the Add to Basket button again. By displaying a noticeable, e.g. animated, image in the mini-basket, their attention is drawn to the basket and they clearly see the addition was made.
License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, the module can be used in multiple stores without additional license. It functions within both the Miva Merchant (mmui.mv) and OpenUI (oui.mv) look and feel modules, appearing at either the top or bottom of the category column. If using the mmui.mv, you will add one line to the mmui.mv file. Note that if your Merchant version is 4.14 or newer, you'll need to edit and recompile the mmui.mv to mmui.mvc (compiler license from Miva Corp required). Hence, OpenUI is highly recommended if you are using Merchant 4.14 or newer. If using the OpenUI, the hook is automatically set when you install the module. There are several hook point screen locations available, of which one can be selected in the module's admin screen.

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.

Compiled MIVA Merchant 5 only: This specific bundle is only available for MIVA Merchant 5 andnewer. As it is a starter kit, nobody should be creating new stores with older versions of MivaMerchant anyway. However, if you are looking for a starter kit for compiled Merchant 4.x, take a look at our other starter kit bundle.
The modules currently fully support the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. They also support 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.

TinyCart and History Helper allows you to create a template-based mini-basket, running subtotal, and/or recently viewed items display. The templates can be be shown above or below the category tree header or footer or above the tree sign-in link, as well as embedded within our Category/Product Page Template modules.
The TinyCart and History Helper are configurable independent of one another. Rather than being stuck with a default layout, the display of either can be entirely customized using a wide range of tokens such as thumbnail, product code, name, price, subtotal, basket/checkout URLs, etc. For advanced users, additional variable tokens are included which allow access to all global, system, and database variables available in Merchant. The recently viewed items can also be embedded as a token within the basket viewer itself.
To illustrate the display control offered, the default template for the recently viewed items displays as a drop-n-go drop down list. The drop down list is nice as it takes up a small amount of screen real estate, but you can change the template to something similar to the mini-cart. Or, use your imagination and come up with an entirely new template.
Both viewers optionally allow alternate text/html to be used if there are no basket/recent items to show. Additional settings for recently viewed items include the maximum number of items to display (1-99) and the number of minutes before recently viewed items expire (1-9999).
You can also give your customers the ability to lookup shipping rates based on their current basket!
*NEW You can now embed the tiny cart within static pages outside of Miva Merchant by using IFRAME like so: Add this product to your basket and then reload this page to see an example. This example has been customized with the easy-to-use admin interface, css, etc.
Wow Wow Widgets are blocks of customizable compiled template code that are dynamically displayed on any MIVA Merchant 5 page. A widget can contain text, html, or MIVA Merchant's template scripting code. Widgets are flexible and reusable, can be easily edited and duplicated, and can be used to display dynamic content, including products, categories, and baskets, anywhere.
Widgets can be used to display: a mini-basket in the sidebar of any page; one or more category listings on the storefront and on any other page; mini-category listings anywhere, with links to the category page; products on any page; multiple headers and footers; blocks of dynamic content that are reused in specific place through out the store; and just about anything else, anywhere.
By adding a content management layer, the Wow Wow Widgets module makes it easier to include, edit and manage content within MIVA Merchant 5.
