MIVA Merchant Version5.0
No template editingis required, but is available for advanced users. HTML and templatescripting knowledge is required to make template modifications. Ifyou do not have these skills it is recommended you contactADS representative to get assistance with template design andcustomization.
This module gives you template access to the actual links so you can change them to be more search engine friendly. MIVA Merchant 5 out-of-the-box does not currently provide template access to the category tree links. I suspect they probably will open it up some time in the future. Until then, this module gives you that access.
Features: >- Provides full access to the category tree links - Create links which are optimized for search engine recognition - Provides ability to place subcategory navigation on the category screen - Displays category page breadcrumb navigation
Feature Details. Category Tree Access: The category tree template can be edited from the store edit screen at the tab "My Category Tree" or from any of the page template screens. The template is global and as such, you only need tomake changes in one location. Those changes will be reflected in all of the screens you haveadded this template item to.
If you have .htaccess re-write capability on your domain, you can even create directory style links. As an example, you can change a link like: http://www.pinemporium.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=1AA&Store_Code=PE into http://www.pinemporium.com/c/1AA/Software.html In addition to creating a short url, you can include the product or category name in the urlto provide more keyword visibility to search engines.
Subcategory Navigation: You can list the subcategories of a parent category on the right (main) side of the screen, e.g. right under the parent category title/name. You can create multiple columns, thereby taking up less screen real estate when you have categories with large numbers of subcategories.
Category Breadcrumb Navigation: On the category screen you can display the currentcategory and the heirarchy of its parent categories up to the store root level.
EZ Batch report module lets you run a batch report on either batched or unbatched orders. You canalso use it to create packing slips and create flat files for use with tools like the Fedex online label, Endicia internet postage, and UPS's My UPS programs. It creates an orders export flat file with data the standard export program forgot to include. It can email the flat file exports to you. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Generate a standard type batch report from existing batches - Generate a standard type batch report from a | delimited list of order IDs - Hide CC secure data unless on secure server and proper pass phrase is used - Generate packing slips by removing sections like shipping and payment details - Select which customer fields to display and in the order you want them - Can exclude prices and totals - Can include page breaks between orders - Include store address with image if desired - Optionally remove color bar for faster printing - Can include date and time of order - Include one or more Addendum responses (question numbers selectable) (requires our Addendum module) - Create flat files with shipping addresses (Fedex label, Endicia internet postage, Quickbooks, My UPS address book) - Create a flat file of the orders similar to standard orders export (can include "other" charges) - Email the finished flat files to yourself as an attachment - Can include %module|xxxxx|xx% type tokens for 3rd party module insertion - EZ to use, no complicated setup requirements
Feature Details. You can generate the report by selecting from a list of existing batches. You can also run the report by including a | delimited list of order numbers in the input. This allows you to create/print a batch report of unbatched order(s).
You can also create packing slips with this same module. Exclude certain elements like the shippingand payment details, along with product prices and totals, and you have a convenient printoutwhich can be packed with the items as an inventory list. This is made easy by using the optionto insert a page break after each order.
When used for creating packing slips, you'll probably use the option to include your store addressand logo image on each page.
If you are using our Addendum module you can display one or more of the responses. You canselect which ones will be displayed. You can use Addendum View (report module with Addendum) to generate a list of order IDs which match a certain criteria. For example, you might have a question on checkout to have the customer designate their desired delivery date. You can search the Addendum responses for a specific date and it will create the view list (order IDs) which can be used in the EZ Batch. Another popular use of Addendum is to collect the salesman or representativecode with an order. Not only can you display the code in the batch report, but if you use Addendum View tocreate a list of orders attributed to that salesman, you can make a batch printout for each salesman with only their orders on it.
You can select to create flat files of the customer addresses when you run EZ Batch. It formats them in an order which can be imported into programs like Fedex's online label creator and Endiciainternet postage printer. It can also generate a flat file of customer info which can be imported into Quickbooks. Import a flat file of customer addresses from the batch into My UPS address book. You can either retrieve the files from the server with FTP or have them emailed at the completion of the batch report. Clerks don't need access to your Merchant admin. No copy and paste; a few clicks and the order addresses are imported into the above programs.
You can select to create a flat file of the orders when you run EZ Batch. This export is similar to the standard orders export in Miva Merchant. However, one important omission in the standard export is the "other" charges, which includes things like coupons, fees, etc. The "other" charges is specified in the Miva Merchant API, but was ignored when the code for the standard report was written. You can also include the Addendum responses (if you are using our Addendum module) in the orders export. You can either retrieve the file from the server with FTP or have it emailed at the completion of the batch report.
If you have 3rd party modules which can use a token to insert their data into the batch report, youcan use tokens in the format %module|xxxxx|xx%
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.
Allows customers to maintain a list of frequently-ordered items for simple, single-screen ordering -- simply enter quantities for each desired item and click "Checkout". Admin-controlled options include Feature Name (i.e., "QuickList", "OrderPad", "SpeedOrder", etc.), placing Add To QuickList icons on screens such as search results and category, tracking of average order quantity, automatic addition of ordered items to a customer's QuickList, etc.
Export your Miva Merchant product data in the basic file format required for FroogleTM (� 2002 Google) data feed submissions for inclusion in their ecommerce search engine. Fields included: product_url, name, description (html removed), price, image_url, category, offer_id (code). This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Most agree, Google is the mother of all search engines onthe Internet. Their feature to create a listing of actual items for sale across the Internet, rather thanpages with hits on keywords, is a bold attempt to better target customers and buyers in a symbiotic relationship. This is a giant leap in eCommerce, providing comparison shopping using the Google search engine. If you are a MivaMerchant store owner you CANNOT afford to miss this opportunity, especially since inclusion in the FroogleTMindex is free. How much have youinvested in getting your store's search engine rankings?
A big side benefit to getting listed in FroogleTM is that the Google company is spidering your site, thus it may increase the number of your pages listed in Google. Coincidentally, my site went from 1220 to 1350 pages in Google within a week after submitting the first data feed to FroogleTM. I had an additional 130 which had been previously overlooked. There is no direct indication that listing in Froogle will effect your listing in Google, only time will tell.
A module designed for the specific purpose of creatinga data feed for FroogleTM (rather than a generic data export)can include features which make it the best solution for the task:
Include an affiliate code in the URLs so that youcan better track where actual sales are coming from
If your store is a single store in the domain, you can remove the Store_Code from the URL to aid in search engine spidering
Fast Data Feed plugin module creates the datafeed flat file directly from your admin
Frequent, no hassle submissions keep your data currentin FroogleTM
Eliminates the need to copy product and category databases from the server to your PC to produce a flat file export with software such as MS Excel
Uses your data as it exists within admin at the moment it is run
Control over category insertion
Limit export to specific categories
Automatically builds the category hierarchy from each product's category up to top level category
Optionally modify category placement, overriding actual category hierarchy
Removes html from your product descriptions; convertingthe brackets to escaped characters or even hiding html using the !-- technique did not satisfy FroogleTM support staff - it must be completely removed
Included in the module are features to eliminate timeouts when generating the data feed export of large numbers of products
Exports to your documents directory rather than yourdata directory for ease of capture and transmittal
Don't delay. The FroogleTM index is a great way to list your products in a major search engine.
Steps
Submit request to FroogleTM for acceptance into the program
Install this module and run it
Once accepted, FTP resulting (username).txt flat file to FroogleTM
Check your pages in FroogleTM when they show up
If you are going to submit to indexes in addition to Froogle, you might want to take a look at our Template Data Feed. It can create data feeds in just about any order the specification requires.
Advanced Development Solutions has taken a popular HTML Editor for the Internet, developed by Frederico Caldeira Knabben and customized it to work seamlessly with Merchant Administration. Allowing store managers to easily bring rich content to their stores without ever using an external editor or writing HTML directly. All text area fields in the Merchant store administration, that do not contain User Interface Items, will have this option. This includes Store, Category, Product and Third Party Enhancements. The editor is fully compatible with User Interface Entities, making it easy to integrate dynamic content with HTML. We also offer this module for an older version of Merchant.
Testimonials
I have the Merchant HTML WYSIWYG Editor module installed and working on huntsvillegenerator.com, and I have to tell you that I am very impressed. Frankly, I was a bit concerned about using a module in a production setting that had just been released, but this is something that I have been waiting for someone to develop for a long time. After using it for a few minutes I had no more concerns. Now my clients can easily enter and edit product descriptions, category headers, and the storefront without having to scroll sideways or learn what and
tags are. I built the entire site in Miva using openDesigner, and the content for each page is contained in User Objects. Your module is an essential tool for managing that content. Bravo!

Now you have one place to make updates to your category tree, header, footer, and etc. Change your category links to SEO style links. Add a class tag to each category listing. One convenient place to maintain the left navigation of your store.
Provide a professional, printer-friendly invoice for your customers. Easy to use. Secure.

The GOL CC Payment with Additional Info enables your Miva Merchant V5.x site to accept Credit Cards for manual processing.
The main difference between this module and the Merchant 5 included "Simple Credit Card" module is that this one has an additional field labeled "CVV INFO".You may use this field to collect any 3 or 4 digit code you may desire.
Please note: Visa states: To protect CVV2 data from being compromised, Visa U.S.A. Inc. Operating Regulations prohibit merchants from keeping or storing CVV2 numbers once a transaction has been completed
It is up to the Store Owner to determine what is meant by "once a transaction has been completed". We suggest speaking with a lawyer prior to using this module, as Gilligan On-Line assumes no responsability for its use.
The purpose of Power Search is to allow a customer to search one or more fields which are allowed by the store owner. The store owner can choose any fields within the products database and/or the custom product fields (Miva Corp built-in utility module) database to be searchable. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Implements field specific, keyword searching - Uses store morph technology to build templates with version history - Customer selects the fields to search and the sort order they want the results displayed - Search the whole store or limit to one category - Search by all (AND), any (OR), exact phrase, or begins with - Display total found, number of pages, and links to each page when the results exceed one page - Use the same product list layout as original search or alter for your needs - Can limit search to a specific price range - Use in conjunction with the Emporium Plus Tell A Friend module to send searches to a friend - Product page "return to search" link takes customers back to the same search page - View admin log of searched words/phrases for marketing and keyword identification - Maintain compatibility with 3rd party modules which use the MIVA Corp custom product fields - Create pre-defined select list searches on a single field - License per domain/mall
Feature Details. Easily editable templates. The module has five templates which can be used for each section of the search page. The templates have full versionhistory and use standard Merchant 5 template coding for easy update and rollback of changes. Each template is pulled into the location you want it on the search page using a render token. The templates are field selection, category selection,search scope/type, page counter and links, and product list layout.
Search specific fields and sort results. Allow a customer to search one or more fields which are made selectable by the store owner. The store owner can choose, in the admin screen, any fields within the products database or the MIVA Merchant built in custom product fields database to be available. The Power Search module uses a mirror database of your products, custom fields and categories; much like the big search engines use. By creating a mirror before the search is made, many operations to join multiple databases togethercan be avoided, so the customer gets a much faster search. Customers can also sort the results on fields like name, code, price, cost, when they were added to the store, or the default display order the store owner established for productlists. The build of the mirror database goes quite quickly and is a maintenance procedure you will do periodically. The small amount of time you take to build the mirror will save your customers significant amounts of time in their searches vs searches which don't use an optimized mirror database. Buildingthe mirror is not required just because products are added, deleted, or edited; as those processes update the mirror automatically without needing a rebuild. See the install doc for details.
Category selectable. Customers can use the category selector to select just one category to search. The default is to search the whole store. You can use the built in token which lists all categories with one or more products in them oryou can build your own select list of only certain categories.
Multiple search types. The customer can select how they want to search the database. The default is to search for products where all (boolean AND) of the keywords entered are found in the record. The customer can broaden that search so that any (boolean OR) of the words are found in the record. They can search by exact phrase so that the words must appear in thesame order in the record as was entered in the search input. They can also search the fields where the data in the field begins with the search string. This is useful for things like finding all of the products whose NAME begins with a specific letter and allows you to have a list of A-Z links that implement that specific search.
Advanced pagination. The module can display the total number of products found which match the search condition. Additionally, the pagesare numbered, e.g. Page 3 of 20, when results exceed the configurable number of products per page. You can also display alist of page numbers and links to those pages so the customer can jump to the page they want to look at. This pagination is similar to that used in the Emporium Plus Category Manager module.
Product layout template can be customized. In the 'srch' page template, there is a "search results layout". If you are happy with that layout, you can copy and paste the contents of that template into the Power Search module's product layout template. You can then modify the layout in the Power Search admin screen.
Price range searching. While searching the price field might be useful in some cases, a more popular search is price range. Within the searchable fields section, the customer has the option of entering a low and high price to create a range. If left blank, the search will not be filtered by price range.
Tell a friend module interface. If the store is using the Emporium Plus Tell A Friend module, customers can send the search string from Power Search to friends. The link in the email will go to the same page of products that the customer was on when they clicked the Tell A Friend button.
Return to search page link. After going to the product page from a Power Search rendered search, a convenient "return to search" link on the product page can bring the customer back to the original search page.
Search log with admin report. In admin, you can view the log of search words/phrases which your customers have used. This helps you from a marketing standpoint to determine the most sought after products and possibly the need to carry a new product. Additionally, it helps you identify keywords which might be useful to include in the narrative descriptions or the meta tags for search engine submissions and even local searches in your store. As example, while you might have a product called flip flops, customers might be searching for thong sandals (which is the same thing). But if you had not used those words in your description, you may have lost the sale. The log can be purged in the admin screen to reduce its size as desired.
Optimized search of built-in custom product fields. This module does not require that you use a proprietary 3rd party module for the custom product fields. It uses the built-in custom product fields module from MIVA Corp, thereby ensuring compatibility with other 3rd party modules which use those same custom product fields. No need to go down that proprietary datafield path of no return. As example, the Emporium Plus Template Data Feed module can use the built-in custom product fields to populate feeds to just about any search engine and shopping index with those "special" fields those indexes require.
Live examples. We cannot link to our demo Merchant 5 store from MivaCentral so if you'd like to see a couple of the live pages demonstrating searches, please contact us for the link. You can check out the selected field search in our test store which has about 600 products with multiple custom product fields. Try some searches so you can get an idea of search speed.
Pre-defined selectors. The Power Search function can also be used for pre-defined select pulldowns in your store. An example of genre and decade searches are in the lower left column of our test store's storefront screen. It will search a specific field, with store owner pre-defined selections. This same technique can be used for things like manufacturer searches if you have a manufacturer field in your custom product fields.
Liberal licensing. License is for ONE domain/mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional licenses.
This module requires that you are using MIVA Engine v5.03 or newer. When you log into admin, you can see which version of the engine is in use in your store.
Display the contents of baskets before and in most cases, after the order is finalized with this MIVA Merchant module. If you are using Merchant 5.x and MySQL, you will not be able to display the contents of completed orders or baskets which have been deleted in this module. With 5.x and MySQL you will be able to see the baskets which did not complete and have not yet been deleted (either by the store admin when deleting baskets or by the customer deleting their own basket). This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Once a customer enters their personal data, an order number is assigned to the basket. During the next few minutes a variety of things can happen, one of which isthe order will be completed without error. On the other hand, an order may not be completed due to server error, communication between the payment processor and your store fails, the customer decides not to purchase, duplicate ID corruption occurs in your orders database, and any number of other perils.
If you have not packed your store databases, you may stillbe able to recover most information from lost orders. This module provides the ship to and bill to customer info. It lists the products and their attributes that were ordered. Itlists the shipping, tax, coupons, discounts and other miscellaneous entries. It also displays the payment moduleand data element (not the CC number) in completed orders (MivaSQL).
With Merchant 5.x (using MivaSQL), the data will remain in this file until you pack thestore databases or the basket number is reclaimed by merchant. The numbermay be reclaimed if the customer re-visits your store aftertheir earlier, abandoned basket had timed out. If they don't re-visit, the number will remain until you pack the store databases. If using 5.x and MySQL, you will still be able to see the data as long as the basket is not deleted and the order had not been completed.
The sorter module gives you the ability to sort your Miva Merchant categories and products very quickly from an easy to use, admin interface. The typical sort time for700+ products is 1-2 seconds. In the latest version of the module, you can also capture the number of products in each category for quick lookup at runtime for use in the category tree or other Merchant pages. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Sort categories by name, code or entry date - Sort products by name, code, price or entry date (ascending or descending) - Sort entire store or sort one category at a time - Sort products within categories by name, code, price or entry date (ascending or descending) - Categories do not all have to be sorted the same way - Move specific products to the top of the product list, search and category pages with a quick mass input - Display an image before the product name for products with a sort order number lower than the trigger number established by the store owner - Count products in each category for later display at runtime to reduce server load and page view time
Feature Details. You can sort the categories by name, code, or entry date. Many stores find that their categories are best sorted by category code rather thancategory name. This way they can create codes which will put their categoriesin the order they want. While most may actually coincide with category namesbeing alphabetical, stores can rearrange the categories to put things like "Specials"or "Close Out" at the top of bottom of the list. The customer does not see the category code, they only see the results of the sorted list.
The products can be sorted by name, code, price, or entry date. The product sorting can be done either as either ascending or descending. Moststores will sort the products by name. The very quick sort is done storewide with a couple button clicks. The storewide sort results in the products being sorted in all of the category screens, the product list screen, and the search screen.
You can sort the products within individual categories differently than the sorting in the store at large. So while the product list and most categories might be sorted alphabetically, you could have others sorted by price as ascending or descending. You can sort theproducts by a specific category and then on the next screen, make minor changes to re-arranged that sorting. This gives you the ability to move certain products to thetop for more customer visibility.
You can also move to the top of the list up to 999 product codes in the orderyou want them. They can appear before any other products on the product list, search and each category screen. This ability to assign a sort order number also makes it possible to display an image, e.g. new or hot, to all products with a sort order number less than the trigger you assign using a token.
You can also elect to count the products in each category. If you do, the counts willbe available at runtime in Merchant. By having the data in a quick lookup table, Merchant does not have to count the products in each category as it displays the category list in a 3rd party module's category tree. It simply shows the previously stored totals. This option cannot be used in stores which use availability groups to hide products fromsome customers because the totals would show the amounts for all products in eachcategory. The sorter module uses a token to display the products-in-category total after the category name if you are using a 3rd party category tree template module.
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.
Collect supplemental, required or non-required responses fromcustomers at checkout. You can add as many additional checkoutquestions to your form as you want, within reason. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Collect supplemental, required or non-required responses from customers at checkout - Export responses to a delimited flat file - View responses in the file with a searchable admin report - Display responses in the include modified invoice emails and batch reports and invoice screen - Include response data in the order export file created by our inexpensive EZ Batch Report module (sold separately) - Configure text label for each question to preceed the responses in the emails and reports - Special instructions for the order, e.g. shipping needs - Collect responses from survey or poll questions - Customer entered gift card messages - Questions displayed in a table which the store owner designs with standard HTML - Limit the display of questions based on specific product codes - Limit the display of questions based on the ship to country of the order - Used in conjunction with our Mail Manager module, activate sending of specific emails - Assign a fee to one response, for example gift wrapping fee, donation, or rush handling - Insert a negative fee (vs positive fee) for impromptu sales, etc - One or more responses can be required before customer can proceed - Highlighted error message when required response(s) are omitted - Tokens can be used to refill the responses if the page is redisplayed due to missing info - Our standard version contains the features you'd expect in competitors' pro version
Feature Details. The responses are exported to a delimited text file which can beimported into most database management systems for further analysis. Youcan also have those responses appear in the Miva Merchant Email notification and batchprocessing (modified email and batch modules included in the zip file). Use the module for the customer to add specialinstructions for the order, collect responses from survey or pollquestions, allow the customer to fill out gift card messages, include salesman orrepresentative code, etc.
The admin interface allows you to build the form withyour store's questions using standard html syntax. Hence,you can make the response collection table match the restof your store's look and feel. You can have text, radio, select drop down list, text area, and checkbox inputs designed the way you want them. Add css if you like or use typical fonts and table tags.
You can place the questions on one of the three checkout screens. You simply add the tokens to the page templates per the install doc.
You can also specify one or moreof the questions to be required. Customers will not be able to completethe checkout if they do not respond to the required questions.
You can purge old questions from the active file and place them in ahistorical file in order to improve response time during order batchprocessing retrieval. The optional order batch retrieval uses the modified core batch report which is included in the zip distribution file.
You can limit the display of Addendumquestions based on specific product codes. If you list productcodes in the admin input, the questions will only be displayedif one of those products is in the basket at checkout. Youcan also use the wild card product code like 1AA*. If theapplicable products all begin with the same characters, youcan use the asterisk. This can only be used for the beginningcharacters in the product codes.
You can alsolimit the display of questions to specific ship to countries.
You can optionally includethe questions in the emails along with the responses by using the modified email modules which are included in the zip distribution file.If using our Mail Manager (sold separately) module you can have a question (checkbox) which will trigger a specific email, e.g. opt-in mailinglist signup. You can also include the questions and responseson the invoice (last page after payment completes). Theresponses for the batch report are retrieved from an indexeddatabase for faster access.
You can alsoattach a fee to a specific answer to one question if youplace the questions on either the customer information orshipping/payment selection screens.
The included Addendum View report featureallows you to search (within admin) the addendum filefor specific responses. For example, you might have a questionfor a specific requested shipping date. Simply search the filefor orders which have requested the delayed shipping for thatdate. The order numbers can be returned and fed into our EZ Batchreport (sold separately) for a tailored report for a specific shipping date. Another popular use of Addendum is to collect the salesman or representativecode with an order. Not only can you display the code in the batch report,but if you use Addendum View to create a list of orders attributed to thatsalesman, you can make a batch printout for each salesmanwith only their orders on it if you are using our EZ Batch Report (sold separately). You can also include the Addendum responses in the order export file that EZ Batch creates.
Limitation: When used in a store which uses PayFlowlink, PayPal or iTransact payment systems, you will need to placeyour questions on either the customer information screenor the shipping and payment selection screen. Thosepayment systems transport the customer to another domain.Hence, the module needs to save the responses to a filebefore the customer is transported off-site. When thecustomer returns from the off-site payment screens backto your store, the responses will be retrieved for savingto flat file or display in your merchant notification email.
The included modified merchant email and batch reports will display the Addendum resposes. Additionally, the batch report can provide page breaks between each order for better printouts (incoices). Also, the merchant notification email allows you to insert tokens in the subject line so you can include things like the order number, order total, and customer name in the subject of the email.
Compare this module with our competitors' pro or advanced or ultimate versions. Those are just words tacked onto a module name. Don't let our low price fool you - compare features and you will find this module probably contains all of the features found in theirs plus we have several additional features. The Addendum module has been in use since Merchant version 1.x and continually enhanced with each version. Our competitors will try to keep up, but the simple choice is, why get a shadow when you can get the "original".
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
Display all open baskets in a table format. This report includes active and expired baskets. As a MIVA Merchant store owner you are able to see how many people come to your store and abandon baskets, even after placing items in thebasket. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
In some cases, customers get to checkout and then abandon baskets and you can determine that too. You can use the module to check basket activity before closing the store for maintenance or deleting baskets in admin. As basketsare converted to orders, they disappear from this listing. Likewise, when expired baskets are deleted in Admin, they also disappear from this listing.
Basket ID - Number assigned when a customer visits your store
Order No. - Incremented number (or retrieved from unused numbers) each time a customer enters their customer information at checkout
Customer - Account info (if available) - Login, Ship To Name, Bill To Name (if different), Ship To Email, Bill To Email (if different)
Product - Product codes in the basket at this time (may be empty or contain one or more)
Expired - "Yes" indicates the basket was last refreshed more than the number of minutes for your basket timeout setting. A number indicates the number of minutes since last activity and the basket is not timed out.
You can delete specific baskets. This feature was requested by a store owner who found his competition was purposely putting large quantities of items in the basket so they would be out of stock. By using this feature he was able to delete the basket and the items were immediately put back in inventory.

Recalculate the basket prices based on the price group a customer is in when they log in. Normally, if a customer is not logged in when they place items in the basket, the basket price will be a non-price group price, even after they log in at check out.
Features: - Automatically recalculate basket prices when logging in - Exclude specific product codes from the recalculation - Safety check price change to ensure it does not raise it - Token available to force recalculation in addition to the automatic log in recalculation (Merchant 5.x only)
Feature Details. Automatically recalculate. When the customer logs in, the module will determine the price group status of the customer. If they are in a price group, it will recalculate the prices in the basket to reflect the price group prices of the items.
Product exclusion. In some cases, you may not want to recalculate the basket price for specific products. As example, there are 3rd party modules which adjust the basket price based on other factors set by those modules. The External Product Purchase (sold separately), Size Pricing, Dimension Pricing, Override Pricing modules allow the customer to enter values in the products' attributes which ultimately effect the basket prices of the products. This product exclusion feature lets you exclude those products from the recalculation process. The basket price will remain as it was calculated by the 3rd party module that originally controlled the addition of the product into the basket.
Safety check. The module will verify that the price group recalculation will actually lower the price. Some 3rd party modules discount item prices at the time they are added to the basket, based on a variety of factors. An example of this is Volume Pricing (sold separately). If the customer orders in quantity and you have set the threshold so they will get a price break for multiples of the item, the item will be added to the basket at a price lower than its individual item price. In some cases, that value could even be lower than price group prices. The recalculation module will compare the two prices and use the lower of the two for the basket price.
Additional token. The additional token feature is in the Merchant 5.x version of the module only. This module will make the recalculation at the time the customer logs in. In some cases, you might want to force the process again. For example, the Emporium Plus Customer and Product Administration module (sold separately) has an automatic price group promotion feature. If you set that to occur when they log in, it actually happens when the screen displays at the point you place the token to do that. As the recalculation module does its automatic feature before the screen displays, the customer would not get the full advantage of a promotion to a new price group. Hence, if you are using a price group promotion feature in another 3rd party module, you can follow that process with a forced basket price group recalculation.

The Buy X Items - Get 1 Free module gives the shopper a discount basedon a predetermined qualifying number of items. In Merchant admin, the store owner sets the number of items it requires in order for the lowest priced item to be free. For every increment of that trigger number, an item's valuereduces the total sale. For example, if the number is 5 and the customerbuys 5, the lowest priced item is free. If the customer buys 10, the lowest two items are free. The store can exempt specific items and can also make the discount a percentage of the item instead of free. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
When the customer views their basket, the free item discount appears as a separate line item. If they view the basket prior to reaching the trigger level by one, there is a message telling the customer to add one more and the lowest priced item will be free.
You can change the percentage discount from 100% (free) to a lesser discount of the lowest priced items. You also can change the message in the basket from the admin configuration panel.
You can exempt specific product codes from the number of products to be counted and not use them in the discount calculation.

The Category Manager module allows you to have multiple category templates in a single store. You can have a different template for every category in your store if you want. The templates use the standard store morph technology template editor in MIVA Merchant 5. While basic knowledge of how to edit MIVA Merchant 5 templates is required, there are two example templates provided in addition to the built in ctgy page template. Getting started is not that difficult. Don't miss our introductory price of this versatile module.
Features: - Multiple category templates in a single store - One or more categories can be assigned to use a specific template - Default template is used for categories which do not have a custom template assigned - Custom pagination in addition to the default Previous and Next buttons - Can limit products displayed per page to a specific number for each template or can list all on one page - Customer can sort products within the category in real time dynamically - Breadcrumb navigation included - Sub-category navigation included
Feature Details. Multiple page templates. Using the built-in store morph technology, you can edit the page templates just like the built-in page templates, including recall, notes, and indexing of previous versions. Include typical render tokens on the custom category pages from other 3rd party modules (sold separately) which you have in your store, e.g. rate this, wait list, best seller, and others.
Easy assignment of categories to templates. Once you create the template you can assign one or more categories to it. This can be done from the Category Edit screen or if you are using the Emporium Plus Category Import module (sold separately), you can import the template assignment right along with importing new categories into the store. No need to import the categories with one module and then use a separate module to assign them to templates.
Default page for unassigned categories. The default ctgy page template is used for all categories which have not been assigned to a specific custom template. This makes processing more efficient as the Category Manager runs a quick lookup to determine if it needs to run certain more complex processing routines, like advanced pagination.
Advanced page navigation. Several pagination variables are available to write detailed page navigation links. You can have the typical 1 2 3 4 etc. Or you can break up long lines with arrows, dots, dashes, etc to fill in a gap. You can also display the page number of the total number of pages. This pagination is similar to that used in the Emporium Plus Power Search module for Merchant 5. As a point of reference for the customer, you can even include how many products are listed in the category.
Flexible pagination. Each category template can have a different setting for the number of products to display on a page. Initially, the customer will see the number you set. However, customers using broadband may want to see all the product in a category on a single page, so there is an option to list all.
On-the-fly sorting. The products are initially displayed in the sort order which the store owner has previously setup in the normal admin sorting. The customer can then change the sort order based on their desires. Available sort fields are name, code, price, date items were added to the store, or the default store setup. They can be sorted ascending or descending.
Breadcrunb navigation. The module includes optional breadcrumb navigation. An array is created which holds the current category name and its parents up to the top level category. With standard MIVA Merchant template code, you can create a quick link to higher categories like Home > Software > Developer Bundles
Sub-category navigation. You can display the sub-categories of a parent category on the category page, e.g. below the parent category's name. The array can be displayed like you want it using standard MIVA Merchant template code.
We cannot link to our demo stores from MivaCentral so if you'd like to see a couple of the live pages demonstrating single or multiple column layout of products, please contact us for links. Those pages demonstrate the variable layout of products, breadcrumb navigation, on-the-fly sorting, and sub-category navigation.

At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
Customers can identify products that they would like to purchase but are currently out of stock. Once you place the product in stock, you can run the Send Email routine from the module admin interface. It sends an unlimited number of notifications as one process, using Miva Enginefunctions to prevent timeout. Each waiting customer will receive an email telling them that the product is back in stock in your Miva Merchant store. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
The module works with Miva's Inventory Management (version 5.x). The Wait List Manager will automatically insert the Wait List link on the product page when the quantity is out of stock. This is determined by the global defaultor individual product's "out" setting. You can even block the automatic link insertion by including the product code in the blocking list through the admin interface.
When the customer clicks the Wait List link they are taken to a form to verify/enter their email address. If they are logged in, it inserts their email address for them. If not, they just type it in. The form also lists the number of other customers waiting for the item if that number is 5 or above (just to the right of the product name). This will give customers a sense of urgency when they receive the in-stock notification. Whenthey add themselves to the list, you have the option (in admin)of sending them a thank you (for their interest) email. If you employ this option, it will also tell them their position on the Wait List. When products are in short supply, that maybe something your customers would like to know. Also, if theyare already on the Wait List, and sign up again, it will not duplicate their record, rather it will email them that they arealready on the list and what their current position is on the list.
The admin configuration screen allows you to vary the name and/or image associated with this program so you aren't locked into the term "Wait List". You can also change the colors and fonts in the form along with the verbage in the form and notification email. You may even want to pass on a coupon code in the notification email for customers who have been waiting for a product.
When editing an individual product in admin, you can also display all of the Wait List records associated with that product. They can be deleted manually in this screen if you don'tplan to restock the item. Thereis also a handy link for mailing them to verify their continuedinterest in the item. You can even limit the notification in this screen to just some of the waiting customers. This is useful when you only receive a small number of the out-of-stock item and there are many more waiting for it. Since the entriesare arranged in order, it is easy to give those on the waiting listthe longest, the first shot at the newly re-stocked item.
You can quickly get a summary of all of the items on "WaitList" to provide you with a re-order, based on demand, tool.
When you Send Email, the module searches all products with a stock level above zero and checks the product code against the Wait List database.Pending Wait List customers are notified of the re-stock of theproduct and their Wait List record is then deleted.
To help the store owner identify needs quickly, an optional CC email can be sent when an item is wait listed.
You will use render tokens in the Merchant 5page templates to insert the Wait List prompt.
There is an alternate template form for the customer to enter their name and email address. This template can be HTML customized to suit your look and feel. If you are not skilled at coding HTML, you can still use the default (built in) form which is customized with colors, fonts, etc with easy inputs in admin.
