Follow the big dogs! Now Miva Merchant can remember your customers just like the big name e-commerce sites on the web. When logging in, customers can choose to have your store remember their login information. Then, the next time they visit your store, Miva Merchant will automatically log them in! Customer logins can be remembered for any number of days, and the text on the login page can be customized to fit your needs. See the slideshow for more details. Note: This module will only work if the non-secure and secure portions of your store use the same domain name. Thus, you must not be using a shared SSL certificate. Additionally, if you use a prefix (such as "www.yourdomain.com" instead of just "yourdomain.com") then the same prefix must be used by both the non-secure and secure portions. Contact us if you need assistance to determine if your settings allow use of this module. Price: $24.97 Upgrade Cost: $13

Upon the order completion the module creates a temporary directory with cryptic name (you can define the length of the random cryptic directory name), locks it with user name/password and copies there all ordered products or documents that are set up for download (or remote access - e.g. at courses or member restricted websites). Beyond the (optional) login/password, it allows an additional security with (optional) crosschecking of cookies, IP address, browser version and several other parameters. You can also set the account expiration time after which the directory will be automatically removed. All this runs with symbolic links, it means the original files or documents are stored out of the public area, in the Miva data directory and they are not transferred or copied physically. So for example if you have a software product or a document for download of 1MB and 100 active customers, it does not take 100MB of disk space, but still just 1MB - and additionally the account creation is much faster and less resource intensive than when copying whole files. Notifications with the download links may be sent to the customer either immediately upon the purchase with a selected payment method (e.g. a credit card) or after approving the order manually from the Ultra Batch Report. If you do not own the Ultra Batch module, you can use the MmHTML (Merchant Notification Email module) instead of the MmHTMLc (Customer Confirmation Email module) and forward the received Merchant notification e-mail to the customer after approving the purchase. - Software, Content, Website access delivery through protected URLs
- Multiple protection: cryptic URL name, password, IP address, host name, cookie, browser version, language settings,...
- MmPASS optionally either re-uses Miva Merchant passwords or generates own secure random passwords of defined length.
- Account expiration time may be set from seconds to years long
- Subsequent orders of a customer may be optionally kept in his personal folder or in a new folder with separate settings and protection.
- No neccessity to set up each product individually. All files may be set up quickly with a single customizable name pattern to avoid complicated settings.
- Original data are stored in the non-public Miva data directory with no access from the web.
- No files are being copied - only a single set of the original files remains on the disk. Virtual copies are created without moving any data, through symbolic links.
- Solution with symbolic links means no additional disk space requirements
- Creating symbolic links is much faster and less resource intensive than copying of files
- NO external cgi programs are necessary and therefore high compatibility and easy installation is provided
- Each product may be associated with a single or multiple files, documents, directories, URLs or with a whole tree structure.
- You can mix software and hardware (downloadable and non-downloadable products)
- Different files / URLs may be optionally offered for products with attributes / options.
- Product attributes / options may be served as independent products (same file for all products) or another file may be defined for each product/attribute combination.
- At each product, different files may be served for users depending on their location or other parameters.
- You can deliver the URLs do the customer immediately upon payment (with MmHTMLc) or later after a manual approval (with MmHTML or with MmPSLP and the Ultra Batch Report)
- NEW: You can select payment methods for automated and manual processing
- NEW: members/customer may now use common entry URL (simple to remember)
- NEW: Admin interface in Ultra Batch - account managment
- NEW: individual expiration time for each product may be set now
- Supports Miva Merchant 2, 3 and 4 on Unix / Apache and with some restrictions also on Windows servers
- Does not require OpenUI. Works with both OUI and MMUI.
- No OUI hook conflicts - truXoft modules are 100% conform to the Miva Merchant API, they do not use OUI extensions and therefore never cause hook conflicts with other modules, otherwise common at OUI modules.

The Search Friendly Links module replaces the links in the category tree and category pages of Miva Merchant with “short links” that are more search engine friendly. Miva Merchant uses long links with 4 variables. Some search engines will not follow these links while they will follow shorter links with fewer variables.
Key Benefits
- Generates short-links in the category tree and category pages in Miva Merchant
- Interprets short-links from any web page or email
- Benefits of shorter links
- Short links are generally more likely to be followed by Search Engine spiders
- Easy to write (and remember) direct links to products and categories in your store
- Long links may word-wrap in some email systems, causing them not to link properly
- Shorter links are less likely to word wrap
- Search engines frequently will not read links with multiple variables (a.k.a. “long links”) such as those produced by Miva Merchant
- A typical Miva Merchant link such as:
http://www.yourstore.com/pathto/merchant.mv? Store_Code=ST&Screen=SFNT&Category_Code=CTGY1&Product_Code=PRD1
is shortened to:
http://www.yourstour.com/pathto/merchant.mv?page=ST/SFNT/CTGY1/PRD1
or: http://www.yourstore.com/page/ST/SFNT/CTGY1/PRD1
The reduction in the number of variables helps with search engine spiders
- Short links are always interpreted and understood by your store when the module is installed and turned on. Therefore, any “short” external link can be used even if you have turned off the display of the short links.
- Long links are always interpreted and understood by your store; so previous search engine listings and external links continue to work normally.
- The “display” of the short links in your store can be disabled, though the store will continue to interpret the short links from external sources (ie: the companion product Search Friendly Store Map, emails and mailing list, etc)
The Search Friendly Links module can produce best results when used in conjunction with the companion product Search Friendly Store Map. The store map product will generate a static HTML page containing Search Friendly Links to every product and category in your store! Search engines tend to give static HTML pages (and the links on these pages) higher precedence and ranks. When used together, these two products generally enhance search engine positioning.
New In v4.02/v4.52:
- Directory Style Short Links: http://www.yourstore.com/page/SC/PROD/CAT1/PROD1
- OpenUI Token and Copernicus OpenUI SuperMod Template Compatible
***NOTE: In order to generate the short links with only one variable, each of the included variables are separated with a forward-slash ("/") character. Thus, no category or product should have this character in the category or product code.
Example Usage
A storefront owner that sells cakes and jelly beans online wants to improve the search engine positioning of the store. He has an attractive storefront and has made it very customer friendly (yep, you guessed it – he’s using the Copernicus Customer Service Suite) but the only shoppers who come to his site are repeat customers who originally heard about his site through “word of mouth.” He knows that if he could just get listed in the major search engines he could increase his sales, but he can’t understand why his site has not been “spidered” by the search engines. He’s not ready to “pay per click” with search engines like Overture, he just wants to get listed.
As a result of his frustration about his search engine placement (or actually, lack thereof), the storefront owner has been learning a lot about search engine optimization (SEO). He has learned that the reason his website has no placement on the search engines is because Miva Merchant produces dynamic pages with links that are not read by the spiders and robots sent out by search engines to find websites. The links are too long (those spiders are so impatient!) and spiders disqualify them due to having too many variables. Of course, he knows that it’s also very important that his pages are full of good content that can be easily logged by the search engines.
The Solution: The Search Friendly Links module will quickly solve the long links problem that this storefront is having. The Search Friendly Links module turns the long links for each category and product page into “short links” that are easily read by those spiders and robots. Further, he likes to make posts to the “Dessert-lovers” email forum; but every time he posts a link to one of his products, the links are so long they “word-wrap” and become un-clickable! So he installs the Search Friendly Links module, and starts posting short links to his products. Now his links look better in his store and his email, and the spiders are happier too!

Continue Shopping and Checkout allows you to place smart continue shopping and/or checkout links/buttons on the basket contents page. Continue shopping links/buttons remember the last shopping-related page the customer was on, even if the customer adjusts the basket contents. The display is entirely template based meaning you can lay out links/buttons in any way using tokens. Conditional tokens are also provided for only displaying content if the basket is empty or not-empty, allowing you to, for example, only display a checkout button if the basket is not empty. Additional admin options include the ability to upload graphics for the continue shopping/checkout buttons, configure alt text, and display the template above and/or below the basket.

The CheckOut SuperMod allows your customers to determine the shipping method for each individual item in a single order and then the appropriate shipping and tax calculations are made to determine the total shipping amount for the entire order. Items in an order that are using the same shipping method are grouped to properly calculate the shipping price for the group of items. Now your customers can check out of your store with multiple shipping methods or shipping addresses* in the same order and the shipping is calculated properly.
Key Benefits Include:
- Advanced Shipping Screen that gives customers the ability to select a different shipping method for every item in the order
- When the Advanced Shipping Screen is used, the items in the order are internally grouped by shipping method so that items using the same shipping method are calculated and displayed together
- Customer can choose to go to Advanced Shipping Screen to ship every item via a separate shipping method or can choose to not go to the Advanced Shipping Screen and instead ship everything in the order using the same shipping method
- Configurable title for the link to the Advanced Shipping Screen from the payment/shipping selection checkout screen.
- Shipping charges from the Advanced Shipping Screen can be viewed on further checkout screens including the Screen Invoice and emailed invoice
- Return to shopping after having used the Advanced Shipping Screen and the settings are remembered for checkout and shopper is automatically taken to the Advanced Shipping Screen upon checkout
- Ability to split line items of multiple-quantity products into individual line-items for different option selections including shipping and address* selections.
- Works with existing third-party shipping modules
- Integrates and shares data with the Shipping SuperMod and Address SuperMod from Copernicus giving you even more functionality!
- When used with the Address SuperMod, each item in the order can be shipped to a different address. Upon checkout, items to common addresses using common shipping methods are grouped together, and proper shipping charges are applied to each shipment. Further, items are then grouped by address for proper tax calculations to each address in the order.
- Extra functionality for users of the OpenUI SuperMod – Special Virtual Modules and tokens are provided for advanced control over checkout displays. Bonus Virtual Module provides the ability to “Split Line Items” in the basket (normally only appears on advanced shipping screen).
Note: Multiple address selections are only available when used with the Address SuperMod.
For complete control of the checkout process the Address SuperMod™, CheckOut SuperMod™, and Shipping SuperMod™ all work together. Each item in the basket can then be shipped to a different address using a different shipping method. Shipping methods available to each address can be filtered based upon the products in the basket, the destination, etc., and shipping and tax for each shipment is calculated individually.
Product Requirements:
Uncompiled Miva Merchant v4.00-4.13 - OpenUI required.
Compiled Miva Merchant v4.14+ - Dynamic Templates for MMUI or OpenUI required.
Please Note - The CheckOut SuperMod significantly alters the checkout process of your store. The CheckOut SuperMod takes the checkout process beyond that allowed by Miva Merchant, which is why the module allows your customers to checkout of your storefront with multiple shipping methods and/or to multiple addresses (when used with the Address SuperMod) in a single order. Please be sure to test-drive this module on Miva Mia with any other third-party modules you have installed. To get a free distribution of the CheckOut SuperMod for use on Miva Mia, just fill out a Trial Request Form at http://www.copernicusllc.com/support/free/trial.

The highly configurable Out of Stock Wait List module allows customers to be notified when stock levels are replenished for items that are temporarily out of stock. It can also be used for "coming soon" items so customers can sign up to be notifed when an item is available. This module features advanced admin options such as customizable messages and buttons, "tokens" which give you full display control and allow dynamic content of notification messages, an inventory threshold level that must be met before sending back in stock notifications, a continue shopping button that remembers where the customer came from after adding an item, and more. Wait List buttons appear on all product pages, including category pages, search results, products list pages, and full product display pages, for out of stock items which are not set to be hidden when out of stock. All items on the wait list can be viewed and selectively processed via the easy to use utility console. The auto-refresh mailing engine can send an unlimited number of notifications at once without timing out. Notifications for all items back in stock can be sent with a single click, or you can selectively decide which notifications to send in the console. This module is fully compatible with all the features of the inventory system with Merchant 4.x, including support for product-by-product out of stock levels. (Out of stock levels do not necessarily have to be zero in Merchant 4.x.) With a polished user interface and administrative back-end, the Out of Stock Wait List module is a full featured system to prevent low stock levels from turning away customers.

Have you ever wondered why you're not getting massive hits on your Miva Merchant Store when you have the best prices on the Internet? Ever searched the internet through a search engine only to find that some ancient, inefficient and cumbersome old site is getting all the hits that you deserve?
Well now its time to get serious, its time to get even... its time to bring in the Search Engine KILLER. THE PROBLEM
merchant.mv?thisandthat
The problem with Miva Merchant and other database driven stores is that the technology used to access and display the product information is NOT search engine friendly.. In fact, most search engines will ignore EVERY PAGE of your eStore! Someone somewhere made the decision that URLs with arguments, information passed long with the URL eg. file.mv?argument1&argument2 etc, indicates that the page isn't worth indexing, but these arguments are essential to any database driven store. Some search engines even refuse to index pages that are .mv! (Northern Light for one).
As a result, your state of the art Miva Merchant Store is missing out on major search engine exposure, and your competitors lousy mall which they hand create using FrontPage97 is getting all the hits.. JUST BECAUSE EVERY PAGE IS A STATIC HTML PAGE.
In an ideal world, what you need is the sophistication of your Miva Merchant Mall and the search engine pulling power of a good old HTML site too. THE SOLUTION
Now YOU can live in that ideal world!
Search Engine Killer (or SEK for short) is perhaps the most significant software release for Merchant stores EVER!
While it adds NOTHING to the functionality of Merchant, it wages war on search engines - those sites who may well decide how much money you make next month.
It is a sophisticated complementary product which runs seperately from Merchant, but knows everything about your store!
The mirror site is:- 100% HTML
- Designed with the Search Engine in mind using the Title tag, Meta Tags, text placement, IMG ALT attributes and more to get you the best possible search engine ranking.
- automatically generates HTML pages from the information stored within Merchant:
- an index.html page for submition to search engines with a link to every other generated page
- an html page for each category and subcategory, eg. your_category_code.html which lists every product and links to..
- an html page for each product- product pictures througout! The SEK Mirror references the URL of the product images already online in your real merchant store!
- multiple links on every html page to both the SEK Mirror pages (so that the search engines find and index every single page) and directly to your Merchant Mall..
- dynamic referencing technology is used so that the links back to your Miva Merchant Mall are context sensitive. eg. SEK Mirror product pages click straight through to the appropriate BUY ONE page in your real Merchant Store!
- remembers your previous preferences to allow ultra-fast regeneration after significant changes to your mall
- SAME NAMING CONVENTIONS AS SEK1
- the html files generated are named using the Merchant Category and Product codes you have specified in Merchnat so that even after a new mirror is generated the Search Engines find previously indexed files.
- Even if search engines DID spider every page of your Merchant Store, there is NO WAY that it would get the same high rankings. Your SEK Mirrors site is built from the ground up with search engines in mind by a developer with many years of experience in site promotion.
and here is the trick..
EVERY PAGE IS DESIGNED TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT IS YOUR STORE WHEN IT IS REALLY JUST A TEASER PAGE
What will it mean to your business to be able to submit a single html page to search engines and have their spider catalog every category and product you have?
How would you like to be able to strengthen your position by submitting an html page for each category that can also be submitted seperately? Price: $59.97 Upgrade Cost: $29.97
