The Copernicus CustReturn module provides your customers with the ability to request a product
return via your storefront. The return request can be processed in the Miva Merchant admin and
your customers can view the status of the return request.
Key Benefits Include:
- “Return Request” web page for
customers to request returns
- Optional configuration to allow
customer to explain reason for
return
- Merchant admin screen allows
storefront owner to approve or
disapprove request
- Auto-approval available based
on reason for return
- Results of approval posted in Return
Request web page for customer
to access. Customer must
have an account to be able to access
this information
- Approval/disapproval tracked in
Merchant admin
Example Usage:
A storefront that sells cakes and jelly
beans online accepts returns for jelly
beans that arrive stale at the customer’s
doorstep. It does not accept
returns for the cakes that it sells because
the cakes are baked and shipped
on the same day. They are never stale
since they get shipped over night.
(The storefront owner solved this problem
with the Copernicus Shipping SuperMod!)
Well, the storefront owner
purchased a batch of jelly beans from a
discounted wholesaler (whose name
will not be revealed here!) who sold
him 200 pounds of stale jelly beans!
Through his storefront, he wants to
accept requests for returns and he
wants to automatically approve all returns
due to “stale jelly beans.” He
installs the Copernicus CustReturn
module and immediately he is offering
his customers an easy way to handle
the stale jelly bean problem! He has a
standard returns request form for his
customers to fill out on his website. He
can decide whether to approve or decline
all other returns; but since he
knows about the stale jelly bean problem,
he has configured this return reason
for auto-approval. So he’s in complete
control of the process; yet, expediting
the returns for his customers
who have suffered from the stale jelly
bean shipment.
He also wants to offer store credit so
customers can order a new package of
fresh jelly beans. He’s installed the
CustCredit module to integrated the
returns and customer credit process for
his customers. His customers can
come back to his website to find out
about the approval of their return request
and purchase another package of
jelly beans using their customer credit.
SPECIFICATIONS & TECHNICAL NOTES
When using this module alone, that is,
without any other Copernicus products
from the Customer Service Suite, you
can receive return requests through
the return request screen and approve
or decline the requests through the
Merchant admin. When used with the
other Customer Service Suite modules
from Copernicus, it provides a robust
returns tracking system.
When used in conjunction with the
CustRMA module, you can accept returns
through your website, approve or
decline the return, attach an RMA
tracking number to the return and then
track all communication regarding all
aspects of the RMA through the Merchant
admin.
When used in conjunction with the
CustContact module, your customer
can submit a returns request through
your website in the return request
screen and that request is transferred
into the mini-help desk. All related
communication is tracked through the
Merchant admin.
When used in conjunction with the
CustCredit module, the store owner
can accept a request for a return
through the return request screen, approve or decline the request, and issue
a store credit for the items returned.
The Customer Service Suite of modules,
CustCredit, CustReturn, CustRMA
and CustContact can each be used
separately but are best when used together
as a comprehensive customer
service solution.

It provides your customers a contact form where the customer can request a return and then track the progress of that return. Within the Miva Merchant admin, the storeowner can approve or decline a return. For approved returns an RMA number is generated, the returned products are tracked, and the type of credit issued to the customer can be recorded. All of this tracking information for returns requests is provided to the customer in a Return History screen that can be viewed while logged into the store.

The CustRMA module provides an administrative interface for handling the returns process. Store
administrators can manage product returns, track RMA numbers, and identify the credit method
for a return. When a returned product is received, the store administrator can check-off the items from the RMA list; once the entire return is received the RMA is automatically closed.
Key Benefits Include:
- Select items being returned in the
Store Order page in the Miva
admin
- Select the credit method for the
return
- An RMA Tracking number is assigned
to those items
- This number is used in all returns
communication with customer
- Grouped items can be assigned
their own tracking number
- Check off the returned items as
they arrive; this closes each RMA
ticket as it’s completed
Example Usage: A store that sells cakes and jelly beans
online accepts returns for jelly beans
that arrive stale at the customer’s
doorstep. It does not accept returns for
the cakes that it sells because the
cakes are baked and shipped on the
same day. They are never stale since
they get shipped over night. (The store
owner solved this problem with the
Copernicus Shipping SuperMod!) Well,
the owner purchased a batch of jelly
beans from a discount wholesaler
(whose name will not be revealed
here!) who sold him 200 pounds of
stale jelly beans!
The store owner is upset by this, and
wants to make it easy for his customers
to return the stale jelly beans. He
also wants to make sure that all of the
packages of jelly beans are returned
before he issues store credit to the
customer. The supplier who shipped
the stale jelly beans will replace the
200 pounds of jelly beans with fresh
jelly beans if all of the stale ones are
returned. Therefore, the storeowner
must meticulously track the return of
all of the packages of stale jelly beans.
He installs the Copernicus RMA Tracking
module and instantly he is tracking
every package of jelly beans that are
returned. He can track each package of
each order, assign RMA Tracking numbers
to assure proper accounting of
each package and knows exactly when
a return is completed. Since he also
wants to please his customers, he has
installed the Copernicus CustCredit
module so that instantly upon closure
of the RMA tracking ticket, the customer
receives store credit for the return
and can purchase new packages
of fresh jelly beans.
SPECIFICATIONS & TECHNICAL NOTES
When using this module alone, that
is, without any other products from the
Customer Service Suite, you create the
returns and inform your customers of
the RMA Tracking number and any updates
throughout the return process.
When used with the CustReturn and
CustContact modules, this becomes a
robust returns tracking system.
When used in conjunction with the
CustReturn module, you can accept
returns through your website, approve
or decline the return, attach an RMA
tracking number to the return and then
track all communication regarding all
aspects of the RMA through the Merchant
admin.
When the CustRMA module is used in
conjunction with the CustContact module,
you can track the communication
regarding the RMA Tracking number
through the mini-help desk. This way,
all communication regarding the return
is documented and can be referenced
as necessary throughout the return
process.
When used in conjunction with the
CustCredit module, the store owner
can track the return and automatically
provide a store credit to the customerupon successful closure of the RMA.
The Customer Service Suite of modules,
CustCredit, CustReturn, CustRMA
and CustContact can each be used
separately but are best when used
together as a comprehensive customer
service solution.

The CustCredit module allows you to offer store credit to your customer for returned items. The credit is tracked with the customer’s account and is automatically applied to the next purchase when the customer checks out, simplifying your returns process and minimizing credit card charges for refunds.
Key Benefits Include:
- Customer Store Credit page in the
Miva admin
- Storefront owner enters store
credit into customer’s account
- Optional area to track reason for
credit
- Refund credit displayed in Edit
Customer Account screen when
customer logs into storefront
- Refund automatically applied to
customer’s basket as he checks
out
- Refund amount available to customer
until it is depleted by purchases
Example Usage: A storefront that sells cakes and jelly
beans online accepts returns for jelly
beans that arrive stale at the customer’s
doorstep. It does not accept
returns for the cakes that it sells because
the cakes are baked and shipped
on the same day. They are never stale
since they get shipped over night.
(The storefront owner solved this problem
with the Copernicus Shipping SuperMod!)
Well, the storefront owner purchased a
batch of jelly beans from a discounted
wholesaler (whose name will not be
revealed here!) who sold him 200
pounds of stale jelly beans! The storefront
owner did not know that he was
sold stale jelly beans and now all of his
customers are receiving stale jelly
beans!! This is a storefront owner’s
nightmare!
The storefront owner wants to issue
store credit to his customers rather
than refund the money for the stale
jelly beans. He wants his customers to
be able to come back to his storefront
and place new orders that allow them
to access the store credit they received
as a result of the stale jelly beans.
Therefore, the storefront owner invests
in the Copernicus CustCredit module
and can customize his storefront to
offer store credit for returns.
Thus solving his returns problem.....if
only that wholesaler would take the
stale jelly beans back.......
SPECIFICATIONS & TECHNICAL NOTES
Please note this module requires OpenUI v.4.53 (uncompiled) with the Admin Extensions installed, or OpenUI v.4.71 (compiled).
When used alone, that is, without the Copernicus Returns Processing system, you must manually enter the credit information from your customers. When used in conjunction with our Returns Processing system, you can provide store credit automatically as a method of refunding your customer for a return.

Collect supplemental, required or non-required responses from
customers at checkout. You can add as many questions to your form as you
want. The responses are exported to a delimited text file which can be
imported into most database management systems for further analysis. You
can also have those responses appear in the Email notification and batch
processing. Use it for the customer to add special
instructions for the order, collect responses from survey or poll
questions, allow the customer to fill out gift card messages, etc.
The admin interface allows you to build the form with your store's
questions using standard html syntax.
 for Miva Merchant version 3.x and 4.x.
You can place the questions on one of the three checkout screens. This
module is compatible with the MMUI and OpenUI. When using the OpenUI, simply
select the screen from admin. When using the MMUI, editing the mmui.mv
file will accomplish the same thing. You can also specify one or more
of the questions to be required. Customers will not be able to complete
the checkout if they do not respond to the required questions.
You can purge old questions from the active file and place them in a
historical file in order to improve response time during order batch
processing retrieval. The optional order batch retrieval
requires editing the core batch report unless you are using
truxoft's batch reporting module, which has an interface for
the addendum module data.
In the compiled version you can limit the display of Addendum
questions based on specific product codes. If you list product
codes in the admin input, the questions will only be displayed
if one of those products is in the basket at checkout. You
can also use the wild card product code like 1AA*. If the
applicable products all begin with the same characters, you
can use the asterisk. This can only be used for the beginning
characters in the product codes. You can optionally include
the questions in the emails along with the responses. If
using the OpenUI, you can select in admin whether to insert the
response in the merchant notification or customer confirmation
emails or both. You can also include the questions and responses
on the invoice (last page after payment completes).
Limitation: When used in a store which uses PayFlow
link or iTransact payment systems, you will need to place
your questions on either the customer information screen
or the shipping and payment selection screen. Those
payment systems transport the customer to another domain.
Hence, the module needs to save the responses to a file
before the customer is transported off-site. When the
customer returns from the off-site payment screens back
to your store, the responses will be retrieved for saving
to flat file or display in your merchant notification email. Version 2.x, 3.x Available Price: $24.50 Upgrade Cost: $12

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. Price: $39.95 Upgrade Cost: $0

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

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)

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. 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 this 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.
- Display the number of status = "pending" orders in the main admin screen, Store Notifications section, so pending orders are immediately visible when you log into admin. A convenient popup shows order numbers and dollar total of each.
- 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

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.

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.Price: $40.00 Upgrade Cost: $0

Example Usage:
A storefront that sells jelly beans online has a payment problem. In an effort to reduce fraudulent transactions, the company manually processes all international credit card transactions. Therefore, they can only accept credit
cards from banks outside of the US during the Monday – Friday work week when an employee is available to enter the credit card number into the credit card processor.
A Brazilian grandfather wants to purchase 20 pounds of jelly beans for his grandchildren who are coming to visit for the summer. He places his order on a Monday evening and is not given any credit card options for payment.
The payment form asks him to come back during business hours to perform the transaction or to use an alternative form of payment such as PayPal or wire transfer. The grandfather decides to wait to process his transaction until Tuesday morning and logs
onto the site, finds credit card options for payment and submits his credit card.
An employee runs the credit card processing, the transaction is approved
and the jelly beans are
shipped out immediately.
So as not to irritate the Grandfather later in the summer when he returns to the website on a Wednesday evening to purchase another 20-lb. bag of jelly beans
for his grandchildren, the storeowner can place the Grandfather in a group of accounts that are permitted to use international credit cards even on weekends and not wait until regular business hours and manual processing.

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. Example static catalog pages - Sort by name
- This example has the add to basket button disabled
- This example contains StatCat generated individual product pages
- Sort by category
- Click through returns to the originating static page after addition (alternatively you can have it remain at the merchant.mv basket)

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. Price: $35 Upgrade Cost: $10
