Found 47 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.
Minimum/Maximum Quantity Manager allows you to set minimum and/or maximum quantities products must be ordered in. Quantity restrictions may be set individually for each product, and/or globally. Global restrictions may be applied to all products, a specific list of products, or products matching a price criteria. For example, you can configure a 2 piece minimum for all products $5 or less. If using a list of products support for * wild cards is included (to include all products starting with specific characters). If both global and product specific restrictions apply to a product, the product restrictions will have priority. For example, you could set a global 2 piece minimum on all products, but have a specific product flagged as 3 piece minimum. Minimum/maximum restrictions apply to all customer by default, but can also be limited to customers assigned to a particular price group.
The basket contents can either be automatically checked and auto-adjusted every time the basket changes, or only checked when the customer attempts to checkout. If auto-adjusting is enabled and a minimum/maximum restriction is not met, a configurable, tokenized message is displayed and the quantity is automatically changed. A message might say, for example, "Quantity for widget adjusted to 4 to meet maximum requirement of 10" (if, say, a customer already had 6 widgets in her basket and tried to add another 5). If auto-adjusting is not enabled, the basket is only checked during checkout. If any restrictions aren't met the customer is redirected to the basket contents page, and a configurable error displays prompting the customer to adjust the basket. The location of the error message is configurable, and can be set to Above Global Header, Below Global Header, Page Top (top of main right cell), or JavaScript Alert.
If products flagged with minimum/maximum quantity restrictions contain attributes, the module also provides a choice between counting each attribute combination as a separate product, or counting them cumulatively. Say a t-shirt is sold in 3 colors, has a minimum quantity of 10, and the customer adds 3 red, 3 blue, and 4 green shirts. If counting attribute combinations cumulatively, the minimum is considered met. If counting individually, the customer must order 10 for each color ordered.
This module allows you to set a minimum and/or maximum dollar amount or quantity required for checkout. It displays error message at top of page if the order is not within limits.
Minimum limits can be disabled if the total order is $0.00.
NEW, ADDITIONAL FEATURES FOR VERSION 4.x The module now allows you to select Min/Max Quan/Amt for each specified product, all Specified Products or All Products in the store. It also has provisions for customizing Limitation error messages.4.x Admin Screenshot

This module will NOT allow you to set a different minimum/maximum for each product independently.
Set minimum and maximum quantity order rules. You can establish a required minimum number of each product that must be ordered. You can also establish a maximum number of each product that can be in a single order.
The admin control panel permits the store owner to specify all products (as a wildcard) in a store to have the same quantity rules or apply individual and different quantity rules for each product code which will be restrained by order quantities. For ease of use, the individual product ranges are entered in a single admin input box rather than from tabs at the individual edit screens. This allows the store owner to build the quantity rules in a word processor and simply copy and paste hundreds of codes into the input box quickly.
When the customer selects an out-of-range amount, the quantity is adjusted to fall within the permissable range and a non-fatal message is displayed telling the customer that the quantity was adjusted. The store owner can configure the text in the out-of-range message box or leave the box out of the store altogether by deleting the override message text in admin.
I have set quantity rules for one product in my store. It is a limited quantity items so if more than one person is testing the functionality, the stock level may be depleted and prevent adequate testing. The product is product code 1S_00155 and the quantity is set to minimum of 2 and maximum of 18. Because the minimum is set to 2, you will see that the quantity input already has a 2 in it. If you change it to 1 and Add to Basket, you will see the override message and the quantity raised to 2.
The module is MMUI and OpenUI compatible. When using the MMUI, two single line edits of the mmui.mv are necessary.
New in the compiled version is the ability to change the quantity input
into a drop down select list with multiple values. For example, setting the multiple
to 2 will result in a select list of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc upto the maximum. Added
token support for the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product templates.
Entice customers with a range of discounts based on the total price or total quantity of products in their basket. Quickly create a tiered discount schedule, offering customers larger discounts as they purchase more. Offer customers promotional coupons which they can redeem as an additional incentive. Discounts and coupons can be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the total price of products in the basket, and a minimum purchase can be required. Discounts are recalculated each time the basket contents is displayed. Features and appearance are highly customizable.
Basket
Discounts
Basket discounts can be based on either the total price or total quantity of products in the customer's basket. Discount is recalculated each time the basket contents is displayed.
A range of discounts can be offered, each requiring a minimum purchase. Discounts can be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the total price of products in the basket, and a minimum purchase can be required.
For instance
- A 5% discount could be offered for purchases of $200 to $999.99 and a 10% discount could be offered for $1,000 or more. Or a $25.00 discount could be offered for purchases of 5 to 9 products and a $100 discount could be offered for 10 or more products.
The basket discount schedule can have an unlimited number of tiers.
A table listing the tiered discounts can be dynamically displayed on the storefront screen and at the top or the bottom of the basket contents screen.
The appearance of the discounts table is highly customizable. An optional title, description, and column headers can be customized. The table alignment, width, border, cellspacing, cellpadding can be also be customized. And the background colors of the title, column headers, and content rows can be customized.
Promotional Coupon Redemption
Promotional coupons can be for any fixed dollar amount or a percentage discount from the total price of products in the customer's basket. Customer can redeem the coupons by entering a code anytime on the basket contents screen or on the customer information screen during the checkout process. A minimum purchase (total price or total quantity) can be required for each coupon.
A coupon redemption form can be displayed at the top or the bottom of the basket contents screen. And a coupon redemption field can be displayed within the customer information form.
Once a customer enters a coupon code, the discount will be recalculated each time the basket contents is displayed. This means that customers see their discounts as they are shopping, rather than at checkout.
If a coupon is redeemed without the minimum purchase being met, then a message is displayed informing the customer of the minimum purchase requirement. The discount will be applied when the minimum purchase requirement is met.
Once a coupon has been redeemed, an optional description can be displayed within the basket content.
The appearance of the coupon redemption form is highly customizable. An optional title, description and prompt can be customized. The table alignment, width, border, cellspacing, cellpadding can be also be customized. And the background color of the title can be customized.
Override the order minimums for specific products. This allows you to use the standard order minimums settings in Miva Merchant admin. You can specify products which can be ordered that do not contribute to the order minimums. However, if they are the only items in the order, then the minimum requirement is removed.
This allows you to have free items or low cost samples in an order and the customer will not have to meet the minimum quantity or amount that you have established for normal orders. If any products are in the basket that are not exempted, then the established order minimum will apply as if this module did not exist.
This module requires use of the OpenUI user interface.
1. Control customer purchases by limiting. Maximum Quantity Minimum Quantity Maximum Amount Minimum Amount
2. Select method of control by Minimum or Maximum of All Products in the Store. Minimum or Maximum of the total of All Specified Products. Minimum or Maximum of each Specific Product Specified.

Set minimum and maximum quantity order rules. You can establish a required minimum number of each product that must be ordered. You can also establish a maximum number of each product that can be in a single order. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
The admin control panel permits the store owner to specify all products (as a wildcard) in a store to have the same quantity rules or apply individual and different quantity rules for each product code which will be restrained by order quantities. For ease of use, the individual product ranges are entered in a single admin input box rather than from tabs at the individual edit screens. This allows the store owner to build the quantity rules in a word processorand simply copy and paste hundreds of codes into the input box quickly.
When the customer selects an out-of-rangeamount, the quantity is adjusted to fall within the permissable range and a non-fatal message is displayed telling the customer that the quantity was adjusted. The store owner can configure the text in the out-of-range message box or leave the box out of the store altogether by deleting the override message text in admin.
You can change the quantity input into a drop down select list with multiple values. For example, setting the multiple to 2 will result in a select list of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc upto the maximum. You can also make a non-equal interval, e.g. 1, 3, 7, 10. The module uses the built in render token system to place the select list on the product and basket screens.
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
The percent of total module by state zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the state the item is being shipped to. The module evaluates the "ship to" state and only displays those methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting lower rates which may not be available for them. The module also limits the shipping charge to a minimum and maximum, set by the store owner in admin.
The subtotal module by state zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the state the item is being shipped to. This Miva Merchant module evaluates the "ship to" state and displays its methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them. The module can also exclude specific product codes from the subtotal calculation, i.e. doesn't charge shipping for specific products but does charge for those not on the exempt list. You can also have a zero shipping charge for any subtotal range, e.g. free ground shipping on orders over $200. If you want to apply a percentage of the subtotal instead of a specific amount, you can include the % with the rate for any subtotal range. The module will not block the display of methods from other shipping modules if you have more modules assigned to your store.
The subtotal module by world zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the area of the world the item is being shipped to. This Miva Merchant module evaluates the "ship to" country and displays its methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them. The module can also exclude specific product codes from the subtotal calculation, i.e. doesn't charge shipping for specific products but does charge for those not on the exempt list. You can also have a zero shipping charge for any subtotal range, e.g. free ground shipping on orders over $200. If you want to apply a percentage of the subtotal instead of a specific amount, you can include the % with the rate for any subtotal range. In the compiled version of Merchant, you can designate specific products that cannot be shipped by a specific method if they are in the basket. Hence, an ineligible product can block one or more of this module's methods from the shipping selection list. The module will not block the display of methods from other shipping modules if you have more modules assigned to your store.
The subtotal module by ZIP code zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the area of the country the item is being shipped to. This Miva Merchant module evaluates the first three numbers of the "ship to" ZIP code and displays its methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them. The module can also exclude specific product codes from the subtotal calculation, i.e. doesn't charge shipping for specific products but does charge for those not on the exempt list. You can also have a zero shipping charge for any subtotal range, e.g. free ground shipping on orders over $200. If you want to apply a percentage of the subtotal instead of a specific amount, you can include the % with the rate for any subtotal range. The module will not block the display of methods from other shipping modules if you have more modules assigned to your store.
New in the compiled version is the ability to add a message based on the specific shipping method the customer chooses. This message appears on the invoice and in the email. For example, since this is a ZIP code based module, you might want to add a message like "You selected local pickup of your merchandise. Our store address is 123 1st Street and our hours of operation are M-F 8-5:30." You can also change the default country from US and the length of ZIP code used from 3 to 5.
Coupon Manager allows you to offer customers various types of coupons which can be redeemed by entering a coupon code during checkout. It features full display options and extensive coupon options which can handle most any type of coupons you wish to offer, such as $20 off any order $100 or over, 15% of any order, buy 4 widgets get $2 off each widget, 20% off your entire order if you order 2 or more of widgets x, y, or z, 10% off orders for the next 10 shoppers that use this coupon - offer not valid with other coupons, spend $20 or more on widgets x, y, and z, and receive free standard shipping plus 10% off your order, limit one/customer, and more!
Coupons may be configured to only be redeemed when used by themselves or redeemable in conjunction with other coupons with an optional maximum total coupons that may be used. Coupons may optionally reduce sales tax depending on your state laws and the type of coupon being used. Coupon Manager's searchable console lets you view the number of times coupons have been redeemed at any time, as well as edit/remove coupons, and can also keep a log of all coupons used which can be imported into database/spreadsheet software.
Features include:
configurable image/button text for redeem coupon button
configurable header and footer for coupon prompt
optional coupon log
coupon expiration date
fixed or percentage discount amounts
extensive coupon options such as taxable, redeemable in conjunction with other coupons (with an optional max coupon cap), one per customer, maximum uses, and a minimum required subtotal
free shipping coupons, with or without an additional discount
configurable qualifying products, including wild card support for product codes beginning with specific characters
qualifying products lists may be set as included or excluded (excluded lists are useful for quickly marking all products except one, or a few, as qualifying)
advanced additional product specific options including minimum quantity, minimum subtotal, whether to calculate the discount based on the quantity ordered (only for fixed amounts), including an optional max quantity cap, and whether to base the discount on the entire subtotal (only for percentage amounts)
option to limit coupons to qualifying zip codes

Note: This module requires ver. 3.9x or higher of the Miva engine.
The ultimate in targetted e-mailing, the eTargetMailer allows you to easily reach your customers for special offers, targetted newsletters, etc. by utilizing the Order history and Customers database from your online store.
The full administration interface for this Merchant Utility module makes setup and configuration simple. You can create and save any number of targetted e-mail templates, which contain specific targetting information as well as e-mail content. eTargetMailer offers many powerful targetting features, allowing you to direct your e-mails to customers who fit any number of profiles:
A minimum number of orders
A minimum combined order total
A minimum single-order total
Purchase of particular qualifying product(s)
All targetting is based on either the entire Order history for your store, or a specific date range for orders. Customers who meet the profile specified in the targetting settings will receive an e-mail defined in the template, with options for specifying the Subject, From e-mail address, etc. All messages are comprised of a 'Header' content area and 'Footer' content area, as well as optional 'Product Includes' in the body area based on which qualifying products a customer has purchased.
Message content in eTargetMailer? also includes powerful 'Macro' features allowing you to easily personalize your e-mails. All customer information, such as First and Last Names, e-mail addresses, etc. (for both Bill-To and Ship-To fields) can be included in message content, as well as special macros for the Number of Orders during the specified date range, the combined Order Total, and the highest Single-Order Total. The optional 'Product Includes' sections also allow extra macros representing the Product Code, Product Name, and the Quantity ordered during the specified date range.
Once a template is defined and saved, a quick glance shows you when the last time a mailing was processed for that template, as well as the number of messages sent during the last mailing and the total sent overall. One click will start processing a template, automatically e-mailing all customers that match your target profile. No need to worry about timeouts either, as the eTargetMailer can easily scale to send e-mails to a theoretically unlimited number of customers.
This very powerful and versatile utility can leverage your existing customer database and help encourage repeat business. A few examples of the vast options and many uses include:
e-mail all customers who bought Widget X and Widget Y, and bought more than $5,000, between January and March with a special offer
e-mail all customers who have placed more than 5 orders in the past year with a coupon to reward them for their repeat business
e-mail any customer who made a purchase during the past month in your store to follow-up on the sale
e-mail any customer that bought an Acme Dynamite Kit to warn about a recall
All features are easily configured through the Admin interface.

Uses existing shipping modules
Allows storeowner to constrain shipping methods available for each product in the store. Customers can only checkout of the store when all products in the order have a common shipping method. *
Integrates and shares data with other checkout enhancements from Copernicus
* If you use the Shipping SuperMod and a customer tries to purchase products that cannot all be shipped with the same method, no shipping methods will be available to the customer at checkout because your shipping rules are mutually exclusive and Miva Merchant on its own does not allow multiple shipping calculations in the same order. You can solve this by adding the advanced functionality of the Copernicus CheckOut SuperMod to your store, OR, allow for a "least common denominator" shipping method that is always available for all products. To learn how to do this, go to the Shipping SuperMod FAQ on the Copernicus website.
Example Usage:
A storefront that sells cakes and jelly beans online has a shipping problem. When a customer purchases a cake, the cake needs to be delivered overnight so that the cake is fresh upon delivery. When a customer buys jelly beans – they can be shipped using regular ground shipping since the jelly beans won’t go stale for quite a long time. Since the storefront offers overnight air and regular ground shipping, many customers are choosing regular shipping for their cakes and are very upset when they receive a stale cake 5 days later. The Shipping SuperMod allows the storefront owner to limit the shipping choices given to the customer given what the customer places in his shopping basket. Using the Shipping SuperMod, the storeowner creates shipping constraints on each of the products in the store – thus allowing the cake to only be shipped via overnight air. He allows the jelly beans to be shipped via overnight air or regular ground shipping. If the customer only purchases jelly beans, the customer can have a choice of overnight or regular ground shipping. If the customer chooses just a cake, he is given only the choice of overnight shipping. If the customer has jelly beans and a cake in his shopping basket, his shipping choices are limited to “overnight air” (to guarantee the freshness of the cake) since “overnight” air was created by the storefront owner as the “least common denominator” shipping method (i.e. all products in the store have the option of overnight air as a shipping method.) The customer can checkout of the store since the order has a valid shipping option.

For complete control of the checkout process the Address SuperMod™, CheckOut SuperMod™ and Shipping SuperMods™ 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 for each address line item is calculated individually.
This shipping module allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND a percentage of the order total AND the area of the world the item is being shipped to. The module evaluates the ship to country and only displays those methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting lower rates which may not be available for them.
AgentTrk Professional allows you to create your own online Affiliate Program! Agent and Affiliate programs are proven to increase sales by allowing you to offer "referral fees" to others who post links to your online store.
AgentTrk Professional is a robust package that not only tracks hits and orders, but processes payouts as well.

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 each identified with a coupon code. Once you have added the module to the store, you can add coupons in the Order Fulfillment section of the admin interface. When you select the Add icon, you will have several input fields to fill in. You must enter a unique code for your coupon. This is the code that you will give to customers so they can shop and redeem the coupon (one per order). It can be any combination of letters and/or numbers.
The compiled version has a coupon generation function. You can embed a token in your welcome email or notification emails generated with our
Mail Manager 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 the OpenUI.
If you have a lot of coupons you want to load into the system quickly, the compiled version has a coupon import from flat file module
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. 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 redemption value can be assigned to each coupon in Merchant 4.x.
If you enter the letter S in the field to the right, the
coupon will be used to allow free shipping (compiled version only) 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 use the percent calculation, this value can be any value, including zero.
Based on your state's tax requirements, the coupon can be designated to reduce the sales tax or not reduce it. The coupon's tax effect is on the 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 doing this 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 limit their use. A typical usage might be a special holiday sale, eg 10% off everything in the store if used by a specified date. This would eliminate the need for special price groups if the intent is that everybody who has the coupon code can use it.
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 second time, if he/she uses the same coupon code, it will be rejected. This is probably 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, eg "sorry for the inconvenience, please accept this coupon.....".
You can restrict usage of a coupon in your store so that it can be used only if a specific product code 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. In Merchant 4.0, you can use a wildcard for the product list, e.g. 1AA* would make all products beginning with 1AA eligible for the coupon discount.
New in the compiled version of the coupon module is the ability to 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 option of "4.5". The
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.
In admin, the coupons can be easily displayed and edited. The coupons are displayed in a table format with configurable number of coupons per page displayed. The entire coupon database is searchable by coupon code or 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 check in 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 or spreadsheet software, is maintained on all coupons used. The couponuz.dbf can 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 displayed in the admin table in Merchant 4.0
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.

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.
Offer a discount at time of checkout with a variety of configurable options. Includes additional control inside the module configuration to offer a discount based on the basket total, number of items in the basket, customers that belong to any price group, or preferred shipping/payment method. You can configure any combination (or none) of the discount requirement options to offer discounts with a variety discount requirements or none at all for storewide generic discounts. The discount amount can be specified as a fixed discount amount or discount percentage of the basket total. Great for offering an incentive discount to add more to the basket items/total or to ship/pay by certain methods!
By popular demand we've updated our module and added several new discount requirement features, such as minimum basket total, minimum items in basket, and preferred shipping option.
New in the compiled version is the ability to change the quantity input
into a drop down select list with multiple values. For example, setting the multiple
to 2 will result in a select list of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc upto the maximum. Added
token support for the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product templates.
