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.

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.
Specifically designed to integrate with the Merchant admin screens, this Shipping and Handling module permits the merchant to set a separate shipping rate (based on quantity) for each product. At the time of checkout, the module goes through the basket and looks up the shipping rate for each individual product. It adds up the rate for each item to determine the shipping charge for that order.
Any number of separate methods may be set up (eg. UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.) and each method may have it's own rates assigned to the products. A default shipping rate may be set in the modules admin for each method. The default applies to all products that are not specifically configured w/ their own shipping rate. In addition, each method may be assigned to domestic addresses, foreign addresses, or both. Methods that don't apply to a particular customer won't be available as an option. The "domestic" country used to determine the destination is configurable in the module.
This product is functionally equivalent to the Shipping w/Multiple Methods module which uses a more basic admin interface.
The flat rate module by state zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND at a flat rate AND the state the item is being shipped to. The module evaluates the "ship to" state and only displays those methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting lower rates which may not be available for them.
The flat rate module by world zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND at a flat rate AND the area of the world the item is being shipped to. The module evaluates the "ship to" country and only displays those methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting lower rates which may not be available for them.
Implement customer product ratings and reviews within Miva Merchant 2.x, 3.x and 4.x storefronts. License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional license.
The purpose of ratethis.mv is to allow customers (who have signed in) to provide their rating/review of products offered in the store. The module allows a customer to vote once on each product they choose to rate/review. The average customer rating is displayed graphically with whole or half images. This graphical display can be on the product screen, the category list screen or both. The default images are hearts, but the mall owner can substitute any graphics he/she wants. Customers can also leave comments about products they wish to review.
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 on by 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.
This module works with both the mmui and oui User Interfaces. If using the mmui, two short edits in the mmui.mv file are required and a third is optional. If using the oui, Rate This plugs into the oui without editing oui modules.
New in the compiled version is compatibility interface with the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product template module. Place the Rate This button on the product page so that it better fits your desired look. Configure through admin, the text and tokens in both the display and prompt for this module.
The flat rate Miva Merchant module by zip code zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the ZIP code the item is being shipped to. The rate can be a flat (fixed) dollar amount or a percentage of the subtotal of products in the basket. The module evaluates the "ship to" ZIP code and displays its methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them.
AgentTrk Professional allows you to create your own online Affiliate Program! Agent and Affiliate programs are proven to increase sales by allowing you to offer "referral fees" to others who post links to your online store.
AgentTrk Professional is a robust package that not only tracks hits and orders, but processes payouts as well. This module creates unique links for agents (affiliates) to refer customers by either posting those links on their web sites (via banners or text links) or via e-mail to their own subscribed list.
AgentTrk Professional is customizable so you can tailor the program to specific agents.
Features of AgentTrkPro include:
Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly or Quarterly payouts
Minimum Payout Amount
Configurable payout rate and per hit rate for each agent
Payout Logs
Limit to the amount of time to retain a referral (ties the customer to the agent for a period of time)
Order Logs
Daily Hit Summary from the agent's links to your store
Customizable Email order notification to the customer (useful for programs that are only agent based)
Email confirmation to the agent (tells the agent a sale has been made)
Payout Customizations: Each agent can have a different payout and per hit rate, or use the default payout rate. Payouts can be based on a percentage of sales or on a fixed amount per hit, or both. Minimum payout amount allows you to provide payments only when an agent's earnings have reached a certain amount.
Each agent retains a list of payouts, orders, and a daily hits summary.
Definitive Links: Links are automatically created for the agent to refer customers to the store front, search, product list, basket, order form, category, product, add one, or buy one screens.
All features are easily configured through the Admin interface.
Calculate shipping by product as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the product's cost AND by the method of shipping AND by the "ship to" State Zone. Each products' shipping cost is summed to arrive at the order's shipping cost. This module provides flexibility to combine flat rate and percentage of subtotal calculations on a product by product basis.
The store owner initially sets up the available storewide shipping methods and rates for the store. You can have multiple methods for as many State Zones as you establish. You establish which states belong to which State Zone. You can then let the storewide methods and rates apply to each product in the store or you can establish "Shipping Override" by product or by category. If you desire every product in a category to have a shipping cost different from the storewide costs, you set up that category's "Shipping Override" methods from the Category tab. You can even use some storewide and some category specific. Then if you have specific shipping costs for specific products, you can select the "Shipping Override" tab in the product edit screen. You can use the storewide methods and rates or override with the product specific rate. The product specific rates take precedence over the category specific rates and the category specific rates take precedence over the storewide rates.
The "Shipping Override" costs can be set as percentage or fixed amount and need not use the same calculation formula as the storewide calculation for the same method. The "Shipping Override" charges can even be zero so that shipping can be free for certain products or categories. As an example, the store might charge $4.00 for each item for priority mail. However, they may charge 2% of the item's cost in the jewelry category. As the shipping module summed the costs, it would apply the $4.00 to each item that did not have a "Shipping Override". Then it would multiply the 2% times each purchased item's cost in the jewelry category and add it to the sum.
The module even provides an input for a handling or base charge. That amount can be different for each method of shipping and is added after all of the individual product shipping charges are summed.
Like our other State Zone shipping modules, you can have different methods and rates for different areas of the country. When the customer enters their "ship to" address during checkout, the module determines which shipping methods will be available to that customer. Only methods established for their "ship to" state will be visible in the shipping and payment selection screen.
This module is compatible with the MMUI and OpenUI look and feel user interfaces. It is licensed per domain which means if you have multiple stores under one domain, there are no additional license fees for this module within that one domain/mall.
Calculate shipping by product as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the product's cost AND by the method of shipping AND by the "ship to" World Zone. Each products' shipping cost is summed to arrive at the order's shipping cost. This module provides flexibility to combine flat rate and percentage of subtotal calculations on a product by product basis.
The store owner initially sets up the available storewide shipping methods and rates for the store. You can have multiple methods for as many World Zones as you establish. You establish which countries belong to which World Zone. You can then let the storewide methods and rates apply to each product in the store or you can establish "Shipping Override" by product or by category. If you desire every product in a category to have a shipping cost different from the storewide costs, you set up that category's "Shipping Override" methods from the Category tab. You can even use some storewide and some category specific. Then if you have specific shipping costs for specific products, you can select the "Shipping Override" tab in the product edit screen. You can use the storewide methods and rates or override with the product specific rate. The product specific rates take precedence over the category specific rates and the category specific rates take precedence over the storewide rates.

The module even provides an input for a handling or base charge. That amount can be different for each method of shipping and is added after all of the individual product shipping charges are summed.
Like our other World Zone shipping modules, you can have different methods and rates for different areas of the World. When the customer enters their "ship to" address during checkout, the module determines which shipping methods will be available to that customer. Only methods established for their "ship to" country will be visible in the shipping and payment selection screen.
This module is compatible with the MMUI and OpenUI look and feel user interfaces. It is licensed per domain which means if you have multiple stores under one domain, there are no additional license fees for this module within that one domain/mall.
Calculate shipping by product as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the product's cost AND by the method of shipping AND by the "ship to" ZIP Code Zone. Each products' shipping cost is summed to arrive at the order's shipping cost. This module provides flexibility to combine flat rate and percentage of subtotal calculations on a product by product basis.
Easy admin configuration of per product shipping charges.
The store owner initially sets up the available storewide shipping methods and rates for the store. You can
have multiple methods for as many ZIP Code Zones as you establish. You establish which ZIP Codes belong to
which ZIP Code Zone. You can then let the storewide methods and rates apply to each product in the store or
you can establish "Shipping Override" by product or by category. If you desire every product in a category to
have a shipping cost different from the storewide costs, you set up that category's "Shipping Override"
methods from the Category tab. You can even use some storewide and some category specific. Then if you
have specific shipping costs for specific products, you can select the "Shipping Override" tab in the product
edit screen. You can use the storewide methods and rates or override with the product specific rate. The
product specific rates take precedence over the category specific rates and the category specific rates take
precedence over the storewide rates.
Fixed cost or percentage of item price.
The "Shipping Override" costs can be set as percentage or fixed amount and need not use the same
calculation formula as the storewide calculation for the same method. The "Shipping Override" charges can
even be zero so that shipping can be free for certain products or categories. As an example, the store might
charge $4.00 for each item for priority mail. However, they may charge 2% of the item's cost in the jewelry
category. As the shipping module summed the costs, it would apply the $4.00 to each item that did not
have a "Shipping Override". Then it would multiply the 2% times each purchased item's cost in the jewelry
category and add it to the sum.
Handling charge option.
The module even provides an input for a handling or base charge. That amount can be different for each
method of shipping and is added after all of the individual product shipping charges are summed.
Display this module's shipping methods based on destination.
Like our other ZIP Code Zone shipping modules, you can have different methods and rates for different areas of
the country. When the customer enters their "ship to" address during checkout, the module determines which
shipping methods will be available to that customer. Only methods established for their "ship to" ZIP Code will
be visible in the shipping and payment selection screen. The module uses the first 3 numbers of the ZIP Code
to match with the zones.
Individual ZIP codes or ranges and variable length codes.
The module for compiled Merchant (4.14 and newer) can use ZIP code ranges in lieu
of individual ZIP codes. It also has the ability to use the
first 5 digits instead of the first 3 digits of the ZIP codes.

IMPORTANT: We removed this module for some time due to the inordinate amount of support it required. Due to demand, it has been reactivated, however we are unable to offer free support for this module. Despite the note below, many users expected the module to behave in a manner beyond that allowed by the Miva Merchant API. You cannot use this module to mark some products for individual shipping and use another module to calculate shipping for the rest of the order. You must use this module for all of your shipping.
This module lets you set up your shipping methods to calculate the rate as a percentage of the order's subtotal. It also offers the option, on a method by method basis, to use a flat rate instead. In addition, rates for each method can be set on a category and product basis. If rates are configured for the category the product is in or specifically for the product, those rates will be used instead of the rates configured for the method in the main administration. There is also a flag so that individual products (or all products in a given category) can be provided with free shipping. A domestic country may be selected and each method chosen to be available for domestic and/or international shipping destinations.
NOTE: Shipping modules do NOT cooperate to produce a single shipping method in the drop down shipping selection list. Each will do its own thing and produce its own methods. So this module will NOT permit you to assign free shipping for selective products or categories and have some other shipping module calculate shipping for the remainder of the products to produce a single method in the drop down list.
You can see the documentation for this module here.
If you use Merchant version 4.x, then the new Zip Based Sales Tax version 2.0 offers brand new features for your convenience. Included is the ability to have 4 digits in the sales tax rate, Canadian zip codes (alphanumber and 6 characters in length), admin screen pagination for large databases, and an import module to load data from text files. [New features are not available for Merchant version 3.x.]
The Zip Based Sales Tax module allows you to specify one or more ranges of zip codes, and to assign a sales tax rate to each range. If you need to charge varying sales tax rates depending on the zip code of the ship-to address, this module will suit your needs. You can also specify whether to tax shipping or not.
Disclaimer:: The store owner is solely responsible for maintaining compliance with all tax laws. By using this module you agree NOT to hold the developers and distributors liable for any breach of tax regulations.
The StatCat module is both an admin module and a basket interface module. The primary purpose of StatCat is to generate static catalog pages (indexes and sub-pages) directly from your Miva Merchant products and category databases so that search engines will add your pages to their index. Presumably this will allow customers to find your store amongst the millions of web sites on the Internet. As such, the pages generated are basic html pages with links to sub-pages, basket page and individual product pages in your Miva Merchant system. Each page contains your store title, meta description, meta keywords, footers along with the products. Category pages also contain category headers and footers.
Although these are static html pages, they have direct links which allow customers to add the products to their basket which is maintained in your Miva Merchant shopping cart system. If you are using the CIM Inventory Manager or Miva Corp's new Inventory Manager (in Merchant 4.x), it will even check the stock level and return an out of stock message if stock level is depleted
** Caution: If you are using Merchant 4.0 and its Inventory Management system that deducts products from inventory when they are placed in the basket, you should select to NOT use the Add to Basket buttons if you have one-of-a-kind items. The reason for this is that some robots and other indexing software may even follow links which contain the ? and & characters. This could result in the stock level decrementing to zero and out-of-stock emails being sent. The products won't be removed from inventory completely, as they will be re-stocked when you run the Admin:Delete Expired Shopping Baskets. This undesirable situation does not exist in Merchant versions 2.x or 3.x. It is also not a problem in Merchant 4.x if your store does not use the Miva Corp Inventory Management or your product stock levels are not likely to be depleted with one or two passes of the indexing program.
The store owner determines which page the customer will go to when they select to add a product to the basket. They can be taken either to the basket for review or back to the static page they just selected from. Both processes are automatic and do not require Javascript or meta refresh routines. Either click through destination can be used on either of the sort options, store owner choice. In addition to the functionality of this module, it provides an excellent example of how to interface static pages with the Miva Merchant system with return to the correct static page.
Quick links on each sub-page allow the customer to return to the index or go straight to their basket for review and checkout.
Below the sub-pages the store owner can even generate individual product pages. These product pages contain the full sized image and description. If the store uses the Flexible Product Description module and the product record contains a Keyword field, those product specific keywords are added to the store's generic keywords which are already in all of the static pages.
The store owner can decide whether to display the price for each item on the static pages. Since these pages are static and cannot function interactively to determine customer price groups or discounts, the hide price routine has its place. However, if the store has no price groups and discounts are calculated on basket totals or discount coupons, the price listing is useful.
The static pages also have no way to restrict access. So if your store is one which does not allow certain products to be shown to all customers, then this module is not for you, unless you can place all of those restricted products in specific categories. In which case, you could then sort pages by category and simply delete those categories' pages.
This module is for Miva Merchant 2.x, 3.x and 4.x. It works with both the Miva Merchant look and feel (mmui.mv) and the OpenUI look and feel (oui.mv). If using the mmui.mv, there are two edits that need to be made to the mmui.mv file.
StatCat produces pages similar (mirror) to the layout in Miva Merchant with admin control. The following configuration settings are made within the standard Miva Merchant admin interface: Page title, home URL, optional title/store logo, title background color, title foreground color, category title header size, number of product columns on the category sort page, Meta description of the site, Meta keywords on the site, return action after adding a product to the basket, option to hide the prices, category column background color, category column foreground color, category column font, category column size, product background color in the category sorted pages, product foreground color in the category sorted pages, product font and size in the category sorted pages, optional display of thumbnail images in the category sorted pages, store front page welcome screen, search button input, product descriptions on category pages, and page footer.
Once generated, the index pages can be linked to your main home page. The catalog can be left in the directory it is generated in or copied to any web site (or multiple web sites) to increase search engine visibility. The links to images and back to your Merchant.mv store will work across servers. An example of this remote distribution can be seen at my Yahoo/Simplenet web site. The limitation to the remote distribution is that these remote static pages are one way, ie. placing a product in the basket will take the customer to the main Merchant.mv, but not back to the remote static page. They would then continue shopping in Merchant.mv. This limitation exists only if the static pages are not in their original catalog directory. If they are in the catalog directory on the local server with Merchant.mv, then return to the static pages is one of your options in admin.
The StatCat also has the ability to generate static pages which can be placed on a disk and used as a catalog which can be mailed or given out to potential customers. When using this option, links to your web site or the shopping cart are suppressed. An example of this type of catalog can be seen online. It has no links to the cart and the images are virtual to the static html pages.
When generating the catalog, the store owner has the option of restricting the html output to a list of specific categories. This is particularly useful when the store owner wants to place their static pages on remote servers which have specific themes in a mall environment. Some categories may "fit in" and some may not. This also might be useful if you want to create disks with only certain categories of products on them to be given to customers.
Note 1: StatCat uses the first letter of the product name to name the sub-pages. If you use illegal characters for the first letter of product names, you will not be able to generate the by-name catalog. An example would be the left bracket, as some might have put the font tag at the beginning of the product name. If that is the case, use the by-category catalog.
Note 2: If you have an excessively large products database, you will probably not be able to run StatCat on a server without timing out. However, you should be able to run it in MivaMia if you have a mirror of your store on your PC. You would then need to upload the static pages manually. This store of 600 products took about 5 seconds to generate the category pages.
Click through returns to the originating static page after addition (alternatively you can have it remain at the merchant.mv basket)
This example contains StatCat generated individual product pages
Several new features have been added to the compiled version; background image, functional navigation bar, "smart" metatags, extensive implementation of keyword and header and footer usage, product page names can be product code or name ending with html, inclusion of product links at the top or bottom listed as featured products or similar designation, include any fields in the products database on product pages (including modified structure), optionally hide subcategories on category pages as applicable, additional product page links such as "check availability or latest prices", and export to any directory within the store's path (creates directory if it does not exist). Discontinued (inactive) products can continue to have modified static pages generated so that search engine links remain viable, yet do not result in errors when linked to the store. Additionally, affiliate codes can be included with every link so that the static catalog pages can be given to affiliates who wish to mirror your catalog at their site. If you are using the OpenUI, StatCat adds "smart" metatags to your merchant.mv so that when the customers (and search engines) click from your static pages to your actual store, the pages will contain metatags related to category headers, product descriptions and product keywords (if used). It also reverses the title tag with the category and product screens so that the category or product name appear first, then the store name. If your store has our Volume Pricing module version (4.53 or higher) installed, StatCat can optionally include the volume price table on the static pages. When creating the static product pages, a flat file is created in the background which can be used for a data feed file for submission to FroogleTM. It contains the header and data for the basic file format.

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.
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.
This module allows you to easily import Generic VAT product rates from a delimited text file. It works much like the standard import modules that come with Merchant. The file must contain at least two columns, product code and rate.
Note: This module requires version 3.9 or higher of the Miva Engine.

The subtotal module by state zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the state the item is being shipped to. This Miva Merchant module evaluates the "ship to" state and displays its methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them. The module can also exclude specific product codes from the subtotal calculation, i.e. doesn't charge shipping for specific products but does charge for those not on the exempt list. You can also have a zero shipping charge for any subtotal range, e.g. free ground shipping on orders over $200. If you want to apply a percentage of the subtotal instead of a specific amount, you can include the % with the rate for any subtotal range. The module will not block the display of methods from other shipping modules if you have more modules assigned to your store.
New in the compiled version is compatibility interface with the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product template module. Place the Rate This button on the product page so that it better fits your desired look. Configure through admin, the text and tokens in both the display and prompt for this module.
