The NetPush Advanced Inventory Module allows Miva Merchant store owners to track inventory within Miva Merchant all the way down to the attribute/option level. The module has numerous configuration settings that should allow the admin to display and track any simple or complex inventory configuration. Inventory levels are only adjusted at checkout time so there is no need to worry about old baskets causing inventory problems. The module comes with an import and export module that allows administrators to easily update inventory levels by using csv files.
We suggest using template modules like Viking Coder's Product Templates and
Category Templates if you want better control of the look and feel of your pages with regards to inventory. This will allow you to use tokens for display. Otherwise, you will have to settle for built in hook point displays that are built into the module and are configurable through the administration area.
The Advanced Inventory Module will send email when stock goes below certain configurable low stock level and can disable products when stock goes below the out of stock level. Administrators can also customize every message shown to the user. Fine grain customizations are made easy because the module allows product level configuration settings the ability to override global inventory configuration settings. This allows Miva Merchant Administrators the ability to customize inventory configurations for every product, if he or she wishes.
Notes:
OpenUI Tokens This module can be used with OUI OpenTokens. To use the module with Viking Coders template modules, see the OpenToken instructions and examples in the documentation on the NetPush.com site.
Product Upsell This module does not show stock information on the product upsell screens at this time. Stock is still tracked in the basket and checkout, but no current stock level is shown on the upsell screens during checkout unless you are using alternatives like tokens in templates.
Basket Redirect and Error Message The user is automatically redirected to the basket screen if he or she adds items to the basket that makes the product go out of stock or if the product is already out of stock. The error message is shown above the basket screen using a hook point in the Open UI. The message is configurable in the admin area.
Checkout Screen Error If configuration is setup to do so, the module will block a user from checking out if their basket has an item that is out of stock. This message is shown automatically at the top of the screen. The message is configurable in the admin area.
Pipes ( | ) Product codes, attribute codes, and option codes must not contain the pipe character. NetPush Advanced Inventory uses the pipe to delimit for lookups. Pipes in your codes will cause the module not to work correctly.
Requirements:
Open UI 4.723+ This module requires that you have OpenUI installed in your store. The module uses hook points in the OpenUI. You must have OpenUI version 4.723 or higher if you plan to use the OpenToken functionality available in this module. Please see the OpenUIsite for information about latest versions and bug fixes.
Miva Empressa 3.96+ This module requires that you have Miva Empressa 3.96 or higher. The module uses functionality that is only available in newer versions of the Empressa Engine. Miva regularly releases new versions of Miva Empressa and the Virtual Machine to add new functionality and fix bugs. If you are on an older version, consider contacting your hosting company. You can find the Miva Empressa version at the top left hand of your Store Administrator when you first login. It should show your Miva Merchant version and your Miva Empressa version.
Miva Merchant 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x This module should work with most versions of Miva Merchant. In order to use the deactivate product option, you must be on version 3.0+. All testing and development was done on versions 4.13+.
Global Configuration Screen
All inventory settings will use the global configuration settings found in the Miva Merchant Administration area under Stores > Your Store > System Extension Configuration > NetPush Advanced Inventory. One may override these settings for products (see product level settings below). Each product must also be manually turned on before tracking starts. See product settings below.
Configuration Settings
Use NetPush Inventory You must set this to "Yes" if you want the module to be turned on. If this is set to "No", the module will not do anything.
Amount considered out of stock Usually this would be 0, but it can be set to any number, including negative numbers. Once the stock level reaches this number, it will be considered out of stock.
Deactivate when product level is out of stock In Miva Merchant versions that support it, the module will turn the Active flag for a product to off, if the product reaches the out of stock level. This only works on the product level, not for the attribute/option level.
Allow purchase even after out of stock Turning this on will allow customers to purchase products even after they go below the out of stock level. This could be a backorder situation.
Automatically remove from basket When a user adds products to the basket, the products will be removed if it makes the inventory go below the out of stock level and the admin is not allowing purchases when products are out of stock. Please take note that this option could cause problems if other modules are installed that also act on the basket.
Send Low Inventory Notices Turn this on to receive email warnings when inventory goes below the low inventory level.
Amount considered low The level that is considered low. Use this setting to trigger emails that will warn you when inventory is hitting a low level.
Low Email To Address Set this to the email address of the person who should be receiving emails when stock is at a low level.
Low Email From Address Set this to the email address that should be set as the from address in low stock emails.
Low Email Subject The subject of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
Low Email Body This is the body of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
Automatically change stock levels Turn this on if you want the system to subtract stock when a user purchases. If this is set to "No", the system will not update stock levels.
Show out of stock messages Turn this on to show out of stock messages on the product page when stock goes below the out of stock level.
Show in stock messages Turn this on to show how much stock is left on the product page.
Out of Stock Messages*
Product Level This message is shown to the user on the product page below the shipping weight.
Attribute Level - Checkbox This message is shown to the user on the product page next to a checkbox option.
Attribute Level - Radio Buttons This message is shown to the user on the product page next to each radio button option.
Attribute Level - Select Box This message is shown inside of the drop down on a select box. HTML should not be used here.

Attribute Level - Radio Buttons This message is shown to the user on the product page next to each radio button option.
Attribute Level - Select Box This message is shown inside of the drop down on a select box. HTML should not be used here.
Other Messages*
Out of Stock - Basket Line Marker This helps the user to see which products have gone out of stock when looking at the basket. A red asterisks may be a good indicator for the user.
Out of Stock - Basket This message is shown to the user above the basket when a product has gone out of stock when adding, updating, or looking at the basket. Products can go out of stock at anytime, even after a user adds it to their basket. This is because stock levels only change after checkout.
Out of Stock - Checkout This message is similar to the out of stock basket message. It is shown on the payment screen during checkout. This should be considered one final inventory check before allowing the user to purchase.
* Token Replacement This module has a few built in tokens for messages that allow you to give yourself and the user more detailed information. Some of the tokens below can only be used on certain screens, or in emails.
%%stock%% - Displays the current stock level. (1,2,3) %%basket_quantity%% - Displays the amount in the basket and is unlikely to be used. (1,2) %%available%% - Displays the amount of stock left before hitting the out of stock level. (1,2,3) %%oos_level%% - Displays the out of stock level. (1,2,3) %%line_items%% - Displays a list of line items that are effected. (1,2) %%product_id%% - Displays the product id. (1,2,3) '%%product_code%% - Displays the product code.

Product Configuration Screen
All inventory settings will use the global configuration settings found in
the Miva Merchant Administration area under Stores > Your Store > System Extension Configuration > NetPush Advanced Inventory. To override these settings at the product level, go to the product in the administration area and click on "NetPush Advanced Inventory". You will see the settings below.
Configuration Settings
Use NP Inventory on this Product You must set this to "Yes" if you want to track inventory on the product. You must manually set this to "Yes" for every product that you want to track. If this is not set to "Yes", no inventory tracking will take place. By default, no product is tracked.
Override Global Settings If this is set to "Yes" the configurations settings will be taken from the individual product screen instead of from the Global configuration settings found under under system extension configuration. If set to "No", the module will use the global settings from above when doing inventory for the product. The default is to use the global settings.

Setting Product Inventory Levels
The administrator can set product inventory levels by going to the product page within the Miva Merchant admin area and clicking on NetPush Advanced Inventory. This is the same screen as the product level configuration. Product inventory levels are shown below the configuration area. To add new inventory, use the yellow add button. To edit inventory, click white add button next to the inventory entry.
The module checks inventory by looking at a unique combination of Product Code, Attribute Code, and Option Code. When entering stock levels, you enter the codes separated by a pipe. For example, shirt1|color|red, where shirt1 is the product code, color is the attribute code, and red is the option code. If you do not set an inventory level for an existing product attribute combination, no tracking is done. Setting a stock level of -9999 has the same effect.
Inventory at a product level You may choose to only track inventory at a product level in combination with or not at an attribute level. To enter a stock level for a product, simply use prodcode||. This tells the system that you are tracking the product code, but not the attributes or options by leaving them blank. Using -9999 for a stock level will temporarily turn inventory tracking off.
Inventory at the attribute level (checkbox, select box, radio buttons) Checkbox - prodcode|attrcode|(the last field should be left blank, as checkboxes have no options) Select Box and Radio Buttons - prodcode|attrcode|optcodeAll 3 are required and must be unique, even if you are using attribute templates. If you are using normal templates in combination with attribute templates, make sure you do not give them duplicate code names.
Using Advanced Inventory with Template Modules and OpenTokens
The Advanced Inventory Module can be used with 3rd party template modules like the ones from Viking Coders by using Open UI tokens on product pages to display current inventory levels. Please note that token support has not been completely tested as of yet.
%module|npinventory|stock_level% Returns the stock level for the product, attribute, option combination. To ensure that this works correctly, you should set g.NPI_Product_Code, g.NPI_Attribute_Code, and g.NPI_Option_Code to the current product code, attribute code, and option code. On a checkbox, make sure to set g.NPI_Option_Code = ''. On a product level, make sure to set the attribute and option variables to ''. After these globals are set, call the token. If the return value is -9999, the item is not being tracked.
%module|npinventory|stock_available% Same as above but shows the amount available.
%module|npinventory|oos_level% Same as above but shows the out of stock level.
%module|npinventory|stock_list% This token will set a global variable that contains an array of structures. You must set g.NPI_Product_Code equal to the current product code before calling the token. This array contains all of the product code, attribute code, and option code combinations for a specific product. It also contains the available stock, out of stock level, and other information shown below. This token makes it easy to create a stock table using OpenUI tokens in Viking Coders templates or in a product header or footer. Code examples are available in the help pages on the NetPush.com site. Array Structure: g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:attribute_code - Attribute Code g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:option_code - Option Code g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:stock_level - Stock Level g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:oos_level - Out of stock level g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:available - Stock Level minus out of stock level g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:allow_pur - Allow purchases even if out of stock from admin settings g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:low_amount - Low amount from admin settings g.NP_Inventory_StockListLen - Variable that tells you how many items are in the array (represented by i above)
You've got your store spidered by the search engines, you're showing up in the search engine results, but you just can't seem to improve your rankings...Search Engine Tweak Pro (SETPro) is here to help!
Search engines take into account many factors when ranking web results, and one of the most important is proper page content optimization. Miva Merchant's dynamic page creation is not designed to be search engine friendly with how it creates and displays the page content. This is where SETPro comes in to play with a number of optimizations and enhancements for product and category screens. These optimizations are primarily done with the Google search engine in mind, but are also relevant to most other popular search engines.
PRODUCT SCREENS:
Product Name Tags:
Allows you to set the product names on the product screens to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (
,
,
,
, ).
The keywords to focus on for an individual product page are typically contained within the product name. Making the product name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined.
Remove Store Name In Product Title Bar:
Optionally strips out the store name in the product screen title bars.
Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the product name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the product name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus.
Product Description at Top of HTML Body:
Optionally placed at the very top of the page, just after the
tag in the page code, this displays the product name followed by the first 200 characters of the product description. Any HTML used in the description is stripped out before being displayed at the page top.
Stock Miva Merchant nests a considerable amount of hidden tables within one another. It makes for an adequate display but search engines don't see page content as the viewer does. That creates a large amount of page code that pushes the product descriptions far down the page, even possibly tripping up some older search engines. It's best to have your real keyword content as far up the page code as possible, creating more keyword weight and improving relevancy for the product pages. It's recommended to use either this option or the commented out feature described below, but not both.
Commented Out Product Description at Top of HTML Body:
Optionally placed at the very top of the page, just after the
tag in the page code. This option adds the product name followed by the first 200 characters of the product description text, commented out (hidden from view). Any HTML used in the description is stripped out before it's added to the top of the page code.
This is the same as the product description display above, except that the description and title are commented out, essentially invisible, at the top of the page. Most search engines will ignore comment tags but some may take them into account. This is an elegant alternative to actually displaying the product name with description at the top of the page, leaving the page as it's meant to be displayed. It's recommended to use either this option or the displayed product description feature described above, but not both.
CATEGORY SCREENS:
Category Name Tags:
Allows you to set the category names on the category screen, to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (
,
,
,
, ).
The keywords to focus on for an individual category page are typically contained within the category name. Making the category name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined.
Remove Store Name In Category Title Bar:
Optionally strips out the store name in the category screen title bars.
Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the category name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the category name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus.
Product Links in Line-Item Listings:
Optionally replaces the product name with a linked product name, when a line-tem listing is used. This is mainly for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens.
Search Engines add additional keyword weight to pages using those keywords contained in incoming anchor text (links) from other pages.
Product Short Description in Line-Item Listings:
Optionally adds a short product description under the product name when a line-item listing is used. Mostly used for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens when line-item formatting is used. Choices are:
None
Product Description (First 200 characters with stripped out HTML code)
Product Short Description (Displays from the OpenUI Short Description Field)
Particularly helpful with non-descriptive category screens or related product areas, by adding more useful content for search engines to index. Also useful for adding varied keyphrases by use of the product's Short Description field.
The ultimate Miva Merchant autoresponder module - send specialized emails at the completion of the order. These emails are in addition to or in place of the standard emails which are sent at order completion, e.g. merchant notification, customer confirmation, vendor specific notification, and even cell phone emails. It also can send welcome emails when a new customer account is created. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order - Merchant notification and customer confirmation - Vendor and product specific templates - Can limit sending based on a specific attribute/option code for a product - Include coupons or promo codes when specific products ordered - Optionally require an input to allow the email, e.g. a response from Addendum - Easy to use checkbox configuration of vertical or horizontal layout emails - Highly configurable free form template layout emails with embedded tokens - HTML or text email formatting - Archive flat file is created for each template, easily track sales activity - Mail Manager Report module can display the flat file contents by time period or product - Ship to, bill to and other email addresses for each template - Send emails to your company's internal departments, e.g. shipping - Emails to web enabled cell phones as abbreviated messages - Open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response - Can resend emails when the customer knows and enters their order number and email address - Use render token to send an email from any pagein the store - Send a welcome email before the order completes and optionally include a promo code, customer login and password - Include 3rd party data with module tokens, e.g. Addendum responses - Display shipping and payment invoice messages - Create packing slip and label emails - Ship to country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations - Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon - Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Feature Details. In admin, you create one or more template emails. Eachtemplate can be different, i.e. what it displays, how the data is oriented on the screen/paper, and what product(s) triggers the autoresponder. Most responses are triggered by the product codes purchased. Some example uses:
Email to any of your drop-ship manufacturers listing the Ship To address and the products to be shipped if using real time creditcard authorization. The module will sort out which drop shippergets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. Unlike some other vendors' drop ship notification modules, this one only includesthe products belonging to the associated drop shipper. Thus a drop shipper doesnot see the products being supplied to the customer by other drop shippers when the order contains multiple product sources. Youcan still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processingverified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would savehand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flatfile is created which you can use to easily track sales activity related to each of your drop-ship manufacturers.
Email to Ship To or Bill To or both thanking them for a donation to your sponsored charity on your site.
Email to your shipping department listing Ship To addressand products ordered if using real time credit card authorization. Products section can be cut/folded to result in a shipping label with your company address included. If notusing real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similarto the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specificproduct or from a list of products
Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on specific products or product lines
Send an email to your cell phone's inbox when orders are placed in your store (requires a cell phone plan that assigns an email address to your phone).
You own a mall with multiple stores within the mall. Thosestore owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track theirsales. In addition to the autoresponse email, mail manager produces a flat file with order ID, date, product name, product code, quantity, price for each, and price extended. Periodically retrieve that flat file and import into a spreadsheetfor easy analysis.
The included Mail Manager Report module can display the contents of that flat file through admin. It can filter the report by specific timeperiods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for excessively long time periods. It can also limit the report to only one product code. Since the templates canbe designed for each vendor, you can create individual vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each vendor.
Literally, you can have a different autoresponder for everyproduct in your store.
However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture sothat other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:
Send a welcome email before the order completes, but afterthe customer completes the registration process (for those thatcreate an account)
Send a thank you for rating a product (using our Rate This system)along with a coupon code for taking the time to do so
You can use the ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now.
Use a render token to send an email from any page in the store. For example, put it on the product page to send a specific email when a specific product's page is viewed by a customer who is logged in. The email goes to their password recovery address (but could be bill to or ship to address). If you want it sent to a hard coded address, e.g. yours to monitor traffic,you would put your email address in the 3rd parameter of the token. The uses of this feature are endless. Send a coupon to entice customers to buy when they visit specific product screens. Tell them about other products related to the one they just viewed.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite diverse. Some of the variable features configured through admin for each template are:
Show or hide any of the data elements
Orient your email either horizontally or vertically
There is also a free form template using an extensive list of tokens and mini-scripts to customize the emails that are sent at the time of order completion. They can vary from mimics of the standard merchant notification and customer confirmation emails to brief order notifications for better acceptance within cell phone emails. The emails can be plain text or HTML formattedemails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors,layout and even add images to your confirmation and notificationemails. If your shipping and payment modules are configured withinvoice notices, these can be included in the emails with a token. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create packing slip and label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template. In the free form template you canalso set the time so that it can be offset from the server time,thus display for a different time zone in each of your emails.
Customize your email and store's physical address
Designate email recipient, i.e. Ship To and/or Bill To and/or fixed email address
List full or partial Ship To and/or Bill To address
Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon for their next visit
Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Resend order emails if the customer knows and enters the order number and email which match the actual order. The form for these two data elements can be placed anywhere you can edit the store user interface, e.g. headers, footers, welcome screen.
You can specify the product code and an attribute/option value that must also be met before the email will be sent. This is particularly useful when the emails are used for vendor notification. A certain product might bedrop shipped by two different vendors and the only difference is the selected attribute/option value.
Insert a "require" token that has to be met before the email will be allowed. As example,have a checkbox using Addendum to ask a customer if they want to be added to a list server (mailing list). Then if they check the box, the "yes" response is sent to Mail Manager. The Mail Manager can then generate a specifically formatted email to activate an email address at your list server, if you have one.
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
List products and prices or just the products without prices
Link the email usage to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste froma flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system. Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens of different responses (individual or grouped) or a wildcard response for all of the products. You can use itto make connections not directly related to sales, yetlinked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery inhopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted, intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store'sbusiness and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sendingout product specific, emails.
The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. For the more experienced, you also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.
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.
Give your customers the superpower to find the products they are searching for. The latu.net Super Search with Extra Product Fields module provides superior search capabilities and results for your Miva Merchant 5 store.

Implement customer product ratings and reviews within Miva Merchant. The module license is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional license. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Rate with a numerical/verbal score for each product - Review each product with narrative critique - Customers login prior to rate and review - Configurable message if not logged in - All customers can view ratings/reviews without logging in - Limit customer to one rating/review per product - Customer can edit their prior rating/review of the product if logged in - Ratings are averaged and graphically displayed - Graphics display on product and/or expanded search, category and product list screens - Store owner can replace default heart images with their own - Optional email notification to store when new rating is made - Auto-approve or admin approve before allowing display in the store - Admin reports for easy deletion, analysis, and approval - Admin reports to screen, export to flat file, and optionally email flat file to store - Easily remove malicious customer prank ratings - Easily remove all ratings by a specific customer account login - Easily remove ratings/reviews of a specific product code - List all unapproved ratings/reviews for easy approval of one or more - Summary report for all ratings/reviews on a specific product - Summary report for all ratings/reviews by a specific customer - Admin reports with hot links of the customer logins so you can quickly view rater details - Sort the reviews in the order you want them displayed - Module comes with default layout for both the entry form and display - Easily replace the default layout with customizable template entry form and display - Use render tokens for placement of display and/or prompt in the page template screens - Optionally use tokens in the display template for listing the rater's identity - Allow customer to include identity with their email, name, or location (automatically filled in from their customer account) - Exclude specific product codes from being rated - Integrate with the Emporium Plus Mail Manager module to send a promo email to the ratee, thanking them for the rating - Limit number of reviews on the product page with a "more" link to show all - Licensed by domain without need for multistore license if same domain
Feature Details. The purpose of Rate This module is to allow customers (who have signed in) to provide their rating/review of products offered in the store.The module allows a customer one review on each productthey choose to rate/review. They can go back and change their rating and review as it is controlled by their login and password. The average customer rating is displayed graphically with whole or half images. This graphical display can be on the product screen, the category listscreen or both. The default images are hearts, but the mall owner can substitute any graphics he/she wants. Customers can also leave narrative comments about products they wish to review.
All customers, not just those logged in, are able to view the ratings and reviews made by other customers.
In the event that a malicious customer enters prank ratings, the admin interface allows removal of all ratings by specific customers. Since the module has an email alert feature (if turned onby the store owner), you will know what ratings are being left for your products. There is also a report generator to list all ratings on a specific product code or all ratings by a specific customer.
You can also display and/or delete the ratings of a specific product from the individual product edit screen.
Using a render token, place the Rate This button on the product page so that it better fits your desired look. You canlimit the number of reviews which appear on the product page with a "more"link to show all. You can sort the order of the reviews within the product edit screen so that customers see the reviews in the order you want them seen. You can also require admin approval before the rating/review is displayed to customers visiting your store. Admin reports can be displayed to screen, exported to flat file, and optionally email the flat file to the store. The admin rating reports which display the login have a hot link to the customer login so you can quickly view who the rater is.
Configure through admin, the text and tokens in both the display and prompt for this module as they are customizable templates which can replace the default layouts. You can allow the customer to include their email, name, or location (automatically filled in from their customer account) along with the reviews, depending on the demographicyou choose to allow in the store. As example, a typical rating might be Reviewer: John in Anglikon, Switzerland 05/14/2001 Great tool and simple to install
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.
Manage coupon addition and redemption functions within a Miva Merchant 5.x storefront with this plugin module. License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional license. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features:- Configurable prompt - Configurable action - Configurable redemption - Configurable coupon rejection messages - Uses tokens to place input on pages - Searchable coupon database with pagination - Easy view admin for coupon content and historical usage - Coupon codes can be individually assigned - Import coupon codes from flat file in bulk - Autogenerate unique coupon codes with token - Assign coupon code as a series for affiliate purposes - Global scope or for specific products - Checkout coupons one per order - Instant coupons on product pages, multiple per order - Fixed amount or percentage of eligible products discounting - Specific product eligibility can be scoped to the attribute level - Minimum order level for redemption of checkout coupons - Establish expiration dates - Line item display in basket after redemption - Single use coupons - One per customer coupons - Multiuse coupons (can be limited) - Free shipping coupons - Limit the country, state or zip a coupon can be used for - Combination of free shipping and order discount (% or fixed) coupon - Easy deletion of expired coupons - Coupon report identifies coupon usage
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.

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.
Now you can have greater control of Merchant functionality by seamlessly integrating external files and scripts into any of MIVA Merchant pages. This module provides store administrators and developers an ability to insert and manage content and/or execute scripts outside the Merchant system. You can even insert content from another server or domain connected to the internet. The module provides a way to insert/execute files in various ways; by inserting a content file(HTML or TEXT)) located in a script or data directories, executing a compiled MIVA Script(.mvc) file directly or with a required function, and calling a file or script loacated on the same server or another server. If you are familiar with MIVA Scripting language, this module gives you an ability to access and control Merchant arrays, global and local variables, data files, etc., without creating a custom component module. Just plug-in your Item Call to a file into any Merchant Template and customize the execution inside your file.
The ADS External File Pro Module Features:
Module automatically creates and configures the necessary item, when installed.
Smart Item monitoringp rovides quick access to Pages where the Item is used.
You can insert an appropriate Render Token in any page related template(s) to utilize module features.
Render Tokens can be used in Page Templates, Product List Layouts, Messages, Headers, Footers, etc..
Module includes five Render Tokens in order to provide various methods for inserting and/or executing external files and scripts. Depending on the type of a Token used, additional Parameter Information may also be included.
readscript - Token provides a way to read and render an external file located in the script directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. The inserted file may contain HTML or TEXT content, but does not have to use a specific file extension.
readdata - Token provides a way to read and render an external file located in the data directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. Since an external file is located in the Data directory, it would normally not be accessible by the public. You can use this functionality to display content not directly available. You can also use this feature with Merchant Availability Groups to insert specific content only available to that Availability Group members. The inserted file may contain HTML or TEXT content, but does not have to use a specific file extension.
run - Token provides a way to execute an external, compiled, MIVA Script file (.mvc) located in the script directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. There are no Function requirements in this method and only Global Merchant variables will be available.
function - Token provides a way to execute an external, compiled, MivaScript file (.mvc) located in the script directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. A Specific Function with parameters is used. Merchant Global, All_Settings, Settings, Module, Item and passed Parameter variables will be available to this function. An uncomiled MIVA Script file containing example Function is included with Module distribution. This function also contains an example Breadcrumb Navigation script which can be used on Category and Product Pages.
call - Token provides a way to call(read/execute) and render an external file located on any server, accessible through an HTTP call. Youc an also use this functionality to execute external script files. These files can be MIVA, PHP, ASP, FLASH, Perl, JAVA, CFM, etc..

Image Wizard Pro goes beyond the standard Image Wizard Standard Module, giving you more options and flexibility for your Miva Merchant store. The Pro version allows you to display up to 10 product images on the product display screen, and provides additional options for the standard Miva Merchant product screen and related products listings.
Discount your product base prices based on the number of items ordered of identical products, eg 1-3 = standard price, 4-6 = lower, etc. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Discount product prices based on quantity ordered - Easy from - to price breaks in a single input - Unlimited price break ranges - Fixed price or percentage off regular price - Optional automatic start and stop dates for volume pricing - Use our time zone offset to adjust the time that the date changes - Each product can have different price breaks and dates - Can use price groups with percentage discounts - Optionally apply price group discount "on top of" volume price breaks - Can exclude price groups from volume pricing - Can exclude all except specific price groups - Hide or display table which depicts price breaks - Include a quantity input in the table on category pages - Volume price can be applied on identical products or can amalgamate - Can amalgamate discounts of different attributes in the same product - Optional "as low as" to replace regular price - Optional strike thru of regular price followed by volume price - Can put all or some of your store products on sale within seconds - Can remove all volume pricing in the store within seconds - Flat file import for quick update - Optional wild card can apply same volume pricing to all products - Export volume pricing settings to flat file - Use render tokens to place "as low as" and table on applicable screens - Licensed by domain, unlimited stores under one MIVA Merchant mall pay no additional license fee
Feature Details: This module's admin interface provides an easy to enter "from - to cost" format. You can literally have as many ranges as you want to type in. See the image below for example syntax. You can either use actual values to replace the base price or percent of price to be subtracted from the product base price. These price differentials are added directly in the admin interface under the product edit screen. You only apply these price differentials in the products that you want to use them.
This module applies the price in your low,high, cost groupings. If you do not include a grouping at the single item level, it will use the method for pricing in your store. It onlyactivates if you include a low, high, cost grouping. For example: 6|10|12% 11|20|14% 21|999|16%
The module only uses price groups when using the percentoff discount calculation. If you enter fixed prices for the quantity ranges, then price groups are ignored. Keep in mindthat the percent discounts could be over and above the discountalready given if you are using price groups.
You can opt to not give the price group an additional discount above the volume pricing. You can even make all or some price groups not eligible for volumepricing and hide the table from them completely. Conversely,you can exclude everybody from volume pricing except specific price group members. Customers must be logged in to identify the price group they are in before the volume pricing module can qualify or disqualify them from volume pricing if you are using the price group restrictions.
The percentage discounting method subtracts the percent discount from the base price. Base price does not include attribute prices. To apply the percentage, simply include the percent symbol (%) in the line. If you are using cost method for your store (other than price groups), you will not be able to use the percentage discounting method. Instead, use the actual value method.
If you are using another third party module which overrides prices in the basket and recomputes them using the price in the product record, youmay not be able to use this module. Other third party modules may notrecognize that it needs to apply the calculations in this module.
The module recognizes identical products. Hence different product codes will change the product enough that the discountwon't apply. For example 3 red shirts and 6 blue shirts willnot give the discount of 9 shirts. Rather, they'll get the discount rate of 3 for one of the line items and 6 for the other.
You can amalgamate quantities so in the example above, as long as the product code is the same and the color variation is done with attributes, all 9 items would get the volume discount for 9 items. You have the option for each product code to amalgamate quantities or treat varied attributes as different products.
You can optionally include a table on the product (PROD) andcategory (CTGY) screens displaying the rates as generatedfrom the products' volume discount record. You can optionallyhave a quantity input in that table display on the category screen. These options areconfigured through admin.
If you want to have a sale on one or moreitems. Simply set the volume to 1 or more with a specific discount percentage and you have a sale with as low as display. You can use the token %product_price_f% to further highlight that witha strike thru. To make this feature even more useful, youcan enter a starting and ending date for the sale so that itwill start and end automatically.
For ease of entry, a flat file import module is included. You can put all product codes in the flat file or use an asterisk (*) and one lineof "rules" to apply the volume price to all products in thestore. Create a storewide sale, e.g. 10% off in seconds with a specific start and stop date. Then just as quickly removeall settings at your leisure after the sale. There is also a volume price export so you can quickly build your flat file, then edit or add to it. This is useful when you want to have a storewide sale on all products butretain volume prices on your regularly discounted items. Export the volume prices. Import your sale settings. Importyour volume discounts on the few you want to maintain at pre-sale prices.

Feature Details. Provide order status change emails to customers, keep track of order changes with backend administrative notes, and provide customers with an easy login view of their order status and invoice. Easily manage customer communication with this module and the related modules below.
The membership system allows you to automatically include customers into price groups when they log into your store and is based on their prior purchase history. You set up your price groups as you would any price groups and assign the applicable products to those groups. Then you specify a trigger level required for the customer to be a member of each group. You can insert tokens into the applicable screens, e.g. customer edit, welcome back returning and new customers. Then when they log in, the token runs the order history for the status codes you specify (e.g. F for filled), sums the totals, and checks to see if they meet a membership level. If they do, they are inserted into the highest qualified price group.
In addition to enhanced communication with your customers, you may want to manage product levels associated with orders and cancelled orders. Miva Merchant allows you to track stock levels of your products online. As products are placed in the basket, the level is decremented. If the order is not completed, the products are returned to the shelf when you delete expired baskets. If the order is cancelled, the products are not automatically returned to stock in the core Miva Merchant. The customer and product management modules interface with the built in internal inventory management (IM) system to improve the overall IM usability.
In the administrative interface:
Shipping tracking numbers, entered through admin, display in the customer account and the status update email (can be linked directly to the shipper tracking page)
Change the order status and optionally send the customer an order status email which can vary based on the style of the status email chosen. Email styles are created using templates with tokens for insertion of specific variables. Can update several orders at once with the bulk status update feature.
Run an end of day-productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or a specific date displaying all records or just the records with a specific status. A convenient link to the order edit screen makes viewing an individual order quick and easy.
Re-establish inventory levels for a product when an order has been cancelled (auto-restock) or new quantities are put in your inventory.
Run a Stock Level Report to determine which items are nearing depletion or all products being managed for inventory. The module admin console includes an easily editable interface to change the inventory levels of all/any products in the report.
Export a flat file of product codes, quantity, and product name for easy mass editing/importing or to interface with your office backend systems or for re-import into Merchant itself.
Additional order related data can be added in the admin screen; employee code making the status change, date of the change, narrative notes about the order, numeric value (e.g. for adjustments). Multiple admin updates can be made to each order's record by any department within your store (packing, shipping, accounting, returns, etc).
From the customer account record:
Customers can view the status of all of their orders, including update information (e.g. tracking numbers) which is entered by the store owner through admin. The order status history display can be modified by the store owner with a template and tokens. You can even include hot links to carriers' tracking systems with the number filled in. You'll need to enter your carrier tracking URLs into the module's admin configuration screen. The number of carrier URLs you include in admin is not limited.
Customers can view their previous invoices as long as they are in online batches or still in the unbatched orders.
Even after orders and batches are deleted (you may delete processed orders to save disk space) the customer can still review the basic products listed in their order along with the shipping and payment info.
Customers can re-order/duplicate a previous order with a single click from the invoice (order details page) which are still in online batches (i.e. not deleted) or as yet unbatched orders.
Be sure to take a look at our other related modules which can enhance store - customer - vendor communication even further. They include:
Contact Manager - provide a support interface without needlessly including your email on your store's pages for spam harvesters to capture
Event Reminder - customers and store admin can schedule reminders to themselves or others for specific events/tasks at specific times
Follow-on Contact - generate after sales communication at pre-determined points of time in the future
Mail Manager - generate template emails (with tokens) as HTML or text as an auto-response, e.g. as customer order confirmation or even welcome emails
