Found 46 Modules or Applications that might fit the bill
Use caution when considering any modules from modStop. Their support has been reported by umpteen Miva Merchant users as suspect and worse. Some of their modules are simple and shouldn't require support. Please contact us with any questions concerning them or their modules.
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.
QwkTracker allow a merchant to track the traffic coming into their store starting with where it came from and tracking it through the shopping process. The system can help a merchant determine if they are spending their money wisely on pay-per-click advertising such as Overture, Google, and Miva Marketplace or non-pay-per-click links from friends, associates, business partners, or advertising campaigns. QwkTracker helps merchant determine who is most effective in sending traffic to their site, which referring links translate to more sales, and where in the shopping experience they may be losing sales.
Miva Merchant Compatibility: 2x, 3x, 4x (compiled and uncompiled)
Features/Advantages
Tracks Pay-Per-Click and Non-Pay-Per-Click Traffic You can use QwkTracker with most traffic generation services such as Overture, Google, FindWhat, Sprinks, Kanoodle, Ah-Ha, and Miva Marketplace. QwkTracker also works great with link sharing systems, banner ads, web rings, or any other systems that direct traffic to your site.
Compatible with Miva’s Affiliate Module QwkTracker also works with Miva Merchant’s built in affiliate system and can give you very powerful and useful information about the traffic your affiliates are sending you.
Compatible with third party tracking variables QwkTracker has a built in variable mapping feature that lets you tell it to use the values of variables already being sent to your site that you have set-up for other third party software. You can quickly and easily configure the software to for example use the affiliate code of a third party affiliate module.
Fights Fraudulent Traffic Charges The tracking information provided by QwkTracker can be used to help you spot fraudulent traffic you may be paying for that you shouldn’t be paying for. Most systems/services that direct traffic to your site claim to prevent wasted clicks from the same shopper, and protect against competitors or hackers that may be clicking your links to drive up your costs. QwkTracker arms you with the data on the traffic that you can use to spot such fraud and the data that your traffic generation service will need to help stop you from being charged for it.
Provides Shopping Experience Traffic Data Even if you aren’t using any pay-per-click services QwkTracker can still give you important data on your traffic. It can indicate to you where in the shopping process the shopper is leaving and thus clue you in to places where your store may need some work, or your polices (such as shipping charges) may need to be adjusted.
Works with HTML Landing Pages
QwkTracker works even if you want your pay-per-click traffic to land on a static html page rather than inside your Miva Merchant store. The system does this by linking the traffic to the Miva Merchant store in a special way that allows the visitor to be transferred seamlessly from the Miva Merchant software to a local or remote URL of your choice without stopping the browser’s back button from working. This ability to redirect your traffic without breaking the functionality of the browser’s back button is critical because the top pay-per-click services such as Overture will not allow you to use links that break the back button.
Special support for tracking traffic to static HTML Pages QwkTracker has special code that supports tracking from static html pages using separate redirection software such as QwkRed. The combination can be used to allow you to track where traffic came from that came to your site via your own static html pages. And even work to track the traffic path if the static pages are hosted on a completely different domain or web server.
Reporting All of the data generated by the system is easily viewed in reports that you can configure based on the start and end date/time, sources, and keywords, and the reports can be displayed as html tables or in various delimited text formats for fast and easy use in third party spreadsheet or database software. Reports come in two types, summary reports that have the numbers crunched for you and are easy to read and great for seeing trends, and raw reports that have more granular detail. The same filtering by start and end date/time, sources, and keywords can be used for deleting old, irrelevant, or unwanted data quickly and easily.

Do you ship some or all of your hard goods via UPS? Thinking about making the switch? Now you can achieve simple, powerful integration between your Miva Merchant storefront and UPS WorldShip Online software, the PC-based shipment processing and tracking application freely available with any UPS account.
Imagine taking all of your online orders and automatically generating UPS Tracking Numbers, printing bar-coded labels, printing (or even having UPS print and mail) Return Service labels and call tags, notifying your customers automatically when a shipment goes out with the tracking number, and more! Keep your entire shipment history in one centralized location to ease Customer Service and management issues.
The modStop / UPS WorldShip Gateway module easily installs into any Merchant 3.x or 4.x store as an export module. Nearly every conceivable shipment option available through UPS can be configured from this module, ensuring a smooth transition into the WorldShip software with shipments matching your particular needs. When you're ready to process your shipments, simply select the orders you would like exported (either by the batch, all unbatched orders, or even specific orders and ranges), and the module prepares your shipments for the WorldShip software.
"Set it and forget it" -- once your shipping preferences are configured, all exported shipments will take on those settings, saving you from repetitive data entry and helping to eliminate human error.
Every field can also use special 'macros' to automatically insert shipment-specific information such as the order number, Ship-To or Bill-To name, address, etc. Automatically place the Order number in the Reference1 and Memo fields, set your customer's e-mail address to be notified of shipment automatically, etc.
QwkPatch protects merchants against various Miva Merchant bugs, such as duplicate order numbers, and exploits and validation limitations, such as hackers being able to checkout without paying, by doing additional system checks at various points during the shoppers visit in the store.
QwkPatch has a fully configurable error screen which accepts a token for display of the specific configurable error message returned when a given patch is triggered. For 4.x the error screen even automatically includes the normal page wrap, such as the global header, footer, and navigation for whatever user interface module you have installed.
Current QwkPatch Release: 2.00
Miva Merchant Compatibility: 2.22 - 4.22
QwkPatch has been extensively tested on Miva Merchant versions 2.25, 3.02, 4.12, 4.13, and 4.22. QwkPatch should work on all versions above 2.2 baring possible unknown bugs in various versions of Miva Merchant. On 2.x versions below 2.2 some of the patches may still work, but due to API limitations, and general instability with Miva Merchant versions below 2.2 we can't support use of the software on versions below 2.2. So if you want to try it, you do so at your own risk.
Miva Merchant 1.x can't use the software at all, because the API simply doesn't support it. So if you have a Miva Merchant 1.x store you want protected, you would have to have custom modifications done.
QwkPatch 2.00 Patch List
Patch 1 - Payment Module Installed Check This patch does a check to make sure the payment method submitted for payment authorization is for a valid module installed in the store. Without this patch it is possible under certain circumstances for shoppers to bypass the need to enter in any payment information such as a credit card number, and skip right to the invoice. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something that wasn't paid for. Also if you do any sort of electronic fulfillment, such as selling software, images, etc. then shoppers using this exploit would get the products before you even noticed there was a problem. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 2 - Add To Basket Availability Group Check This patch stops shoppers from being able to add an item to their basket that is part of an availability group they don't belong to. Without this patch it is possible for a shopper to add such an item to the basket, even if they haven't created a customer account, much less been assigned to the availability group.
Patch 3 - Upsale Item Manual Basket Add Check This patch stops shoppers from manually adding an upsale item to their basket. If you use upsale you probably have worked hard to make sure certain free, or steeply discounted items are only presented to the shopper during checkout when they have certain items in their basket, and/or have met certain minimum purchase requirements. Without this patch a shopper can modify the url to manually add an upsale item to their basket. When doing so they can even get an item that was discounted to $0.00 which should have only been available with the purchase of specific expensive other items. If the free upsale item is the only thing they add to their basket they can even bypass the shipping, tax, and payment options and jump straight to the invoice.
Patch 4 - Shipping Module Installed Check This patch does a check to make sure the shipping method submitted is for a valid module installed in the store. Without this patch it is possible for shoppers to bypass the shipping calculations and not pay any shipping charges on the order. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something that didn't have the shipping charges paid for. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 5 - Shipping Charge Check This patch makes sure a shipping charge was actually added to the basket charges table. It is okay if the charge was set at a zero price because you offer free shipping under certain circumstances, but this patch makes sure a shipping module actually made that decision and added a zero charge, rather than there being no charge in the table. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something that didn't have the shipping charges paid for. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 6 - Tax Charge Check This patch makes sure a tax charge was actually added to the basket charges table. It is okay if the charge was set at a zero price because no tax was required based on your tax module configurations, but his patch makes sure your tax module actually made that decision and added a zero charge, rather than there being no charge in the table. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something which you didn't collect the proper taxes on. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 7 - Affiliate Status Check This patch stops affiliates from changing their status, or new affiliates from creating their account with a status of their choice. Without this patch it is posisble for affiliates that have not been approved yet, to change their status so that they are approved, or for new affiliates to set their initial status as approved. This patch is meaningless if you are using a version of Miva Merchant lower than 4.x.
Patch 8 - Duplicate Order ID Check This patch helps prevent duplicate order numbers from being added to the orders database. Without this patch there are various circumstances that can cause duplicate order numbers to get entered into the orders database. To be clear, this patch doesn't stop duplicate order ids from being issued, nor does it prevent the automatic recovery of order numbers to the orphans database, what it does is generates a new order id for the about to be created order if the order id exists in the orders database.

Feature Details. You can add coupons through the standard Miva Merchant admin interface and include usage criteria.
An unlimited number of coupons can be assigned to the store and each identified with a coupon code. Once you have added the module to the store, you can add coupons in the Order Fulfillment section of the admin interface. When you select the Add icon, you will have several input fields to fill in. You must enter a unique code for your coupon. This is the code that you will give to customers so they can shop and redeem the coupon (one per order). It can be any combination of letters and/or numbers.
The compiled version has a coupon generation function. You can embed a token in your welcome email or notification emails generated with our
Mail Manager module. A unique coupon code will be created and is based on the coupon template you designate. You can have an unlimited number of templates and an unlimited number of coupons copied from them. If you are not using our Mail Manager, you can still activate the generator by placing the token in the invoice header if you are using the OpenUI.
If you have a lot of coupons you want to load into the system quickly, the compiled version has a coupon import from flat file module
An optional expiration date can be included which will prevent its use if the date has passed. Enter it in the year, month, day format, eg. 20000724 would be July 24, 2000. If you leave this field blank the coupon will never expire. However, you can still delete it manually through the admin interface.
A fixed value OR percentage discount off the order total is assigned to each coupon. The default is fixed value/price,
eg $5.00 off the order total. If you put the % sign in the next input field AFTER the value field, it will calculate the coupon value based on the assigned percent of the order total. The %, if used, is entered in the separate field to the right for that purpose. If left blank, the calculation will be based on the fixed value of the coupon. See the note below about restricting discount calculations to specific products instead of the order total. A maximum redemption value can be assigned to each coupon in Merchant 4.x.
If you enter the letter S in the field to the right, the
coupon will be used to allow free shipping (compiled version only) for the entire order. Other criteria for the coupon must be met, e.g. minimum order amount, eligible products, etc.
Optionally, a coupon can be allowed only when an order total reaches a specific amount. For example, you can give a 10% discount when the order total reaches $200 as an incentive or promo. In all cases where a raw value is used, you must make this value equal to or greater than the value of the coupon. If you use the percent calculation, this value can be any value, including zero.
Based on your state's tax requirements, the coupon can be designated to reduce the sales tax or not reduce it. The coupon's tax effect is on the order total, not on individual products. For example, in some states, a store coupon reduces the cumulative value of products purchased before the sales tax is applied, hence you would want it to reduce tax. The exception to doing this is if your products are likely to be non-taxable, making a coupon reduce tax could result in a negative tax calculation. Another type coupon might be the manufacturer coupon. In some states, manufacturer coupons do not decrease the tax liability. You should determine your state's tax requirements before adding coupons to your store.
Coupons can either be used:
multiple times - The coupon can be used at every visit by any customer who shops at your store. This is usually used as a promo to customers, user lists, clubs, etc. They often have a short expiration date to limit their use. A typical usage might be a special holiday sale, eg 10% off everything in the store if used by a specified date. This would eliminate the need for special price groups if the intent is that everybody who has the coupon code can use it.
only one time for each customer - The coupon can only be used for one visit per customer. When the same customer shops at your store a second time, if he/she uses the same coupon code, it will be rejected. This is probably the most common coupon and is usually used in print ads or as a promo, eg. "$5.00 off on your next visit".
only one time for a unique coupon code - The coupon can only be used once. Once any customer has used this code, it becomes unavailable for any other purchase. This is often used as a customer relations tool, eg "sorry for the inconvenience, please accept this coupon.....".
You can restrict usage of a coupon in your store so that it can be used only if a specific product code is ordered. You can list several product codes, any of which in the basket would make the coupon valid if the other requirements are met. Leaving the product code blank means that customers do not have to order a specific product as long as they meet the other requirements the store owner has specified. If you check the box to the left of the product code list AND are using the percentage discount, only those products in the code list will be used in the calculation using the qualifying products subtotal. If you do not check the box, the percentage discount will be applied against the order total. In Merchant 4.0, you can use a wildcard for the product list, e.g. 1AA* would make all products beginning with 1AA eligible for the coupon discount.
New in the compiled version of the coupon module is the ability to restrict the coupon usage down to the attribute level. For example, you can limit the coupon to product codes beginning with 1AA and the attribute "Version" with the option of "4.5". The
format for the input would be 1AA*~Version~4.5|
Alternatively, if you precede the product list with a - (minus) character, the coupon will be excluded from use with those product codes. You canNOT specify it to the attribute level like the include above. (compiled version only)
Appropriate error messages are displayed when coupons don't meet the usage criteria established by the store owner. When the shopper enters a coupon code at checkout that is not valid based on the criteria you establish, he/she will see an error message just below the coupon code input when the checkout form is re-displayed. One coupon can be redeemed per order on the checkout page.
In admin, the coupons can be easily displayed and edited. The coupons are displayed in a table format with configurable number of coupons per page displayed. The entire coupon database is searchable by coupon code or portion of the coupon code.
Expired coupons can be removed from the database (to cut down on disk usage) one at a time or in mass. In admin, you can either put a check in the remove column and select update or select purge expired coupons, then select update.
A historical database, which can be imported and analyzed in database or spreadsheet software, is maintained on all coupons used. The couponuz.dbf can be FTPd to your PC for further analysis in MS Access, MS Excel, or other data management software. This could be useful in determining which coupons bring you the most activity. The number of uses for each coupon is displayed in the admin table in Merchant 4.0
New in the compiled version is the coupon usage report. You can summarize or list each coupon used for a specific time period. You can also restrict the output to a specific coupon code or a string of characters in a coupon code. This latter is useful when you have assigned a series of coupons to an affiliate or advertising campaign. You can determine how much business was brought in with the coupons from various sources.
The compiled version of this module can use OpenTokens instead of hook points within OpenObjects. The OpenDesigner screen lists the OpenObjects which can replace all or some screens within the OpenUI user interface. The OpenObjects provide a template screen which contains the existing hook points (backward compatibility), OpenToken capability, and the ability to move output around within the OpenObject screen. Since the tokens in this module conform to OpenToken functionality, they may be used in other template type screens.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. If you are using MMUI, there are two required edits in the mmui.mv. If using MMUI in
a compiled version of Merchant (4.14 and newer), you will need to edit and recompile the mmui.mv (expensive proposition). Thus, with compiled Merchant, we recommend using OpenUI instead of the MMUI user interface.
Manage coupon addition and redemption functions within a Miva Merchant 5.x storefront with this plugin module. License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional license. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.

Feature Details. You can add coupons through the standard Miva Merchant admin interface and include usage criteria.
An unlimited number of coupons can be assigned to the store and eachidentified with a coupon code. Once you have added the module to the store, you can add coupons in the Order Fulfillment section of the admininterface. When you select the Add icon, you will have several input fields to fill in. You must enter a unique code for your coupon. Thisis the code that you will give to customers so they can shop and redeemthe coupon. It can be any combination of letters and/or numbers.
You canembed a token in your welcome email or notification emails generated with our Mail Manager (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module. A unique coupon code will be created and is based on the coupon template you designate. You can have an unlimited number of templates and an unlimited number of coupons copied from them. If you are not using our Mail Manager, you can still activate the generator by placing the token in the invoice header. If you are using our Tell A Friend (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module, you can embed the unique coupon code in the emails that customers send when referring their friends to your store. The coupon generation is also useful when it is embedded into the follow on contact emails that our Follow On Contact (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module sends out.
If you have a lot of coupons you want to load into the system quickly,there is a coupon import from flat file module
An optional expiration date can be included which will prevent its useif the date has passed. Enter it in the year, month, day format, eg. 20000724 would be July 24, 2000. If you leave this field blank the coupon will never expire. However, you can still delete it manually through the admin interface.
A fixed value OR percentage discount off the order total is assigned to each coupon. The default is fixed value/price, e.g. $5.00 off the order total. If you put the % sign in the next input field AFTER the value field, it will calculate the coupon value based on the assigned percent of the order total. The %, if used, is entered in the separate field to the right for that purpose. If left blank, the calculation will be based on the fixed value of the coupon. See the note below about restricting discount calculations to specific products instead of the order total. A maximum redemptionvalue can be assigned to each coupon.
Free shipping coupon option. If you enter the letter S in the field to the right of the value field, the coupon will be used to allow free shipping for the entire order. Other criteria for the coupon must be met, e.g. minimum order amount, eligible products, etc.
Optionally, a coupon can be allowed only when an order total reaches a specific amount. For example, you can give a 10% discount when the order total reaches $200 as an incentive or promo. In all cases where a raw value is used, you must make this value equal to or greater than the value of the coupon. If you usethe percent calculation, this value can be any value, including zero.
Based on your state's tax requirements, the coupon can be designated toreduce the sales tax or not reduce it. The coupon's tax effect is onthe order total, not on individual products. For example, in some states, a store coupon reduces the cumulative value of products purchased before the sales tax is applied, hence you would want it to reduce tax. The exception to doingthis is if your products are likely to be non-taxable, making a coupon reduce tax could result in a negative tax calculation. Another type coupon might be the manufacturer coupon. In some states, manufacturer coupons do not decrease the tax liability. You should determine your state's tax requirements before adding coupons to your store.
Coupons can either be used:
multiple times - The coupon can be used at every visit by any customer who shops at your store. This is usually used as a promo to customers,user lists, clubs, etc. They often have a short expiration date to limittheir use. A typical usage might be a special holiday sale, eg 10% offeverything in the store if used by a specified date. This would eliminatethe need for special price groups if the intent is that everybody who hasthe coupon code can use it. In the compiled version you can limit the number of times a multiple coupon is redeemed.
only one time for each customer - The coupon can only be used for one visit per customer. When the same customer shops at your store a secondtime, if he/she uses the same coupon code, it will be rejected. This isprobably the most common coupon and is usually used in print ads or as a promo, eg. "$5.00 off on your next visit".
only one time for a unique coupon code - The coupon can only be used once. Once any customer has used this code, it becomes unavailable for any other purchase. This is often used as a customer relations tool, e.g. "sorry for the inconvenience, please accept this coupon.....".
Global or product related. You can restrict usage of a coupon in your store so that it can be used only if a specific product is ordered. You can list several product codes,any of which in the basket would make the coupon valid if the other requirements are met. Leaving the product code blank means that customers do not have to order a specific product as long as they meet the other requirements the store owner has specified. If you check the box to the left of the product code list, and are using the percentage discount, only those products in the code list will be used in the calculation using the qualifying products subtotal. If you do not check the box, the percentage discount will be applied against the order total. Youcan use a wildcard for the product list, e.g. 1AA* would make all productsbeginning with 1AA eligible for the coupon discount.
Use instant coupons on the individual product pages and for specific products. These coupons are redeemed at the product page and instantly appear in the basket as a line item discount related to a specific product. Unlike the global checkout coupons, customers can redeem multiple instant coupons in a single order. From a marketing standpoint this gives the merchant the opportunity to offer a promo code atthe product level which gives an impending event (expiration of the promo)to encourage sales while not lowering the value of the product with an overtprice discount.
You can restrict the coupon usage down to the attribute level. For example, you can limit the coupon to product codes beginning with 1AA and the attribute "Version" with the specific option value of "4.5". The format for the input would be 1AA*~Version~4.5|
If you precede the product list with a - (minus) character,the coupon will be excluded from use with those products.
You can limit the coupon to be used only if the customer is in a specific zone. You can use ONE of six possible zone limitations for each coupon (ship to: country, state or zip; bill to: country, state or zip).
Appropriate error messages are displayed when coupons don't meet theusage criteria established by the store owner. When the shopper entersa coupon code that is not valid based on the criteria you establish, he/she will see an error message just below the coupon codeinput when the page is re-displayed.
In admin, the coupons can be easily displayed and edited. The couponsare displayed in a table format with configurable number of coupons per page displayed. The entire coupon database is searchable by coupon code or beginning portion of the coupon code.
Expired coupons can be removed from the database (to cut down on disk usage) one at a time or in mass. In admin, you can either put a checkin the remove column and select update or select purge expired coupons, then select update.
A historical database, which can be imported and analyzed in database orspreadsheet software, is maintained on all coupons used. The couponuz.dbfcan be FTPd to your PC for further analysis in MS Access, MS Excel, or other data management software. This could be useful in determining which coupons bring you the most activity. The number of uses for each coupon is also displayed in the admin table.
The coupon usage report module can provide historical data within your admin. You can summarize or list each coupon used for a specific time period. You can also restrict the output to a specific coupon code or a string of characters in a coupon code. This latter is useful when you have assigneda series of coupons to an affiliate or advertising campaign. You can determine how much business was brought in with the coupons from various sources.
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
Most agree, Google is the mother of all search engines on the Internet. Their new venture to create a listing of actual items for sale across the Internet, rather than pages with hits on keywords, is a bold attempt to better target customers and buyers in a symbiotic relationship. This is a giant leap in eCommerce, providing comparison shopping using the Google search engine. If you are a Miva Merchant store owner you CANNOT afford to miss this opportunity, especially since inclusion in the FroogleTM index is free. How much have you invested in getting your store's search engine rankings?
A big side benefit to getting listed in FroogleTM is that the Google company is spidering your site, thus it may increase the number of your pages listed in Google. Coincidentally, my site went from 1220 to 1350 pages in Google within a week after submitting the first data feed to FroogleTM. Granted, I use Static Catalog Generator to create static html pages of all of my products so there were already a lot of pages in Google. Now I have an additional 130 which had been overlooked. If you don't have a good representation of your product catalog already in Google or other search indexes, you may want to use the Static Catalog Generator to optimize site visibility. Search engine optimization requires a multi-pronged approach (static html pages, shorter links, specific paid or unpaid submissions to directories). I have found that use of static html pages consistently gets my site into search indexes better than the dynamically produced Miva Merchant pages. There is no direct indication that listing in Froogle will effect your listing in Google, only time will tell.
A module designed for the specific purpose of creating a data feed for FroogleTM (rather than a generic data export) can include features which make it the best solution for the task:
Include an affiliate code in the URLs so that you can better track where actual sales are coming from
If your store is a single store in the domain, you can remove the Store_Code from the URL to aid in search engine spidering
If you are using our Volume Pricing module (version 4.53 or newer), you have the option to submit the lowest (bulk) prices as your product prices, thus making your listings more attractive when compared with competitors in the FroogleTM listing. However, the Google Feeds Support said the quantity option is not yet supported so it would be "best if you just give the price for ordering a single item". Eventually they plan to list the minimum break points to obtain the volume prices.
Fast Data Feed plugin module creates the datafeed flat file directly from your admin
Frequent, no hassle submissions keep your data current in FroogleTM
Eliminates the need to copy product and category databases from the server to your PC to produce a flat file export with software such as MS Excel
Uses your data as it exists within admin at the moment it is run
Control over category insertion
Limit export to specific categories
Automatically builds the category hierarchy from each product's category up to top level category
Optionally modify category placement, overriding actual category hierarchy
Removes html from your product descriptions; converting the brackets to escaped characters or even hiding html using the !-- technique did not satisfy FroogleTM support staff - it must be completely removed
Included in the module are features to eliminate timeouts when generating the data feed export of large numbers of products
Exports to your documents directory rather than your data directory for ease of capture and transmittal
Don't delay. The FroogleTM index is still in beta. As such, knowledge about it is not yet widespread due to limited promotion. The FroogleTM support team has been reviewing requests for inclusion and currently have reasonable turn around time. Your store may or may not be accepted and I would expect it to take longer and have more stipulations for acceptance and continued inclusion as this service becomes more popular. You should request acceptance into FroogleTM as soon as possible. Once accepted, whether you use our module for building the datafeed or some other software, you should do it now while time is on your side.
As this is a new endeavor for FroogleTM, I expect them to change their format and add new capabilities over time. Licensees of the 4.x version of this module will have free upgrades of the module through the 4.x version. We do not yet have a 2.x version available but will be exploring that option next week. Please ensure you select the correct module version for the version of Merchant you have.
Most agree, Yahoo! is the king of commercial and non-commercial directories on the Internet. Their new venture to create a listing of actual items for sale across the Internet, rather than pages with hits on keywords, is a bold attempt to better target customers and buyers in a symbiotic relationship.
This is a giant leap in eCommerce, providing comparison shopping using the Yahoo! Product Search index. If you are a Miva Merchant store owner you CANNOT afford to miss this
opportunity, especially since inclusion in the beta test index is currently free. How much have you invested in getting your store's search engine rankings? If you find you are getting traffic and earning revenue from this venture, you may find it beneficial to stay on after
the beta period has ended. This gives you an opportunity to "test the waters".
Include an affiliate code in the URLs so that you can better track where actual sales are coming from
If your store is a single store in the domain, you
can remove the Store_Code from the URL to aid in search engine spidering
If you are using our Flexible Product Description (recommended) or our Edit More (only for the very experienced) modules, the additional field data can be added to the description for the general products data feed.
Y Feed plugin module creates the datafeed flat file directly from your admin
As this is a new endeavor for Yahoo! Inc., I expect them to change
their format and add new capabilities over time. Licensees of the 4.x version of this module will have free upgrades of the module through the 4.x version.
Limitations: 1) Currently the module can only be used for the general products export for Merchant 4.x uncompiled. With the compiled version (Merchant 4.14 and newer) of the module, you can export book, music, and video type products if you are using one of the additional field methods above.
2) We will be upgrading the Y Feed module for compiled Merchant (4.14 and newer) to include the following product categories in the future: video games, computers, and electronics.
The edit more module allows you to edit additional field data in your product database from the individual product editing screen. This module requires that you have already added the additional fields to your products database with a dBaseIII plus compatible editor. You should not do this unless you are thoroughly familiar with database management and editing. If you are unfamiliar, you may find that our Flexible Product Description module is easier to use and accomplishes almost the same thing.
If you would rather enter your additional field data via flat file import to get you started quickly, then you can use the prodmore script, which is included in this software bundle.
Display of the additional data varies depending on whether you are using the mmui or oui. With the mmui, editing the mmui.mv file and including simple lines of code will display the data.
If using the oui, the changes are made in the showmore module (included in this software bundle) and that module is installed as an OpenUI module.
If you are using the product and category template modules from Michael Brock, you can use the token: %product¦fieldname¦% to directly access the database field.
