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.

This tutorial subscription is different than all other Miva Merchant training methods because it is constantly updated, there are OpenUI and MMUI tutorials, as well as extensive tutorials on most popular third party modules, including offline products like Storeman. With the cooperation of third party developers, when a module is updated, or a new module is released, Merchant How To will create a new tutorial.

Details
The "Hide Prices Pending Customer Approval" module contains a wealth of functionality and customizable options. It's tremendously useful for wholesalers and other store owners that want to limit access to a known, and approved, customer base.
Product Prices Hidden Product prices can be hidden until a customer's account has been approved by the store's owner. Optionally, prices can be hidden until a customer creates or logs-in to an account (without requiring approval of the account).
Buttons Too The product prices - and the "Add To Cart" and the "Buy One Now" buttons - can be hidden on the Product List, Categories, Search Results, and Product Display screens. An optional, fully-customizable message can be displayed in place of the hidden prices.
Require Customer Login Customers can be required to login (or create a new account) before being granted access to the entire store or to the product-related pages (Product Listing, Categories, Search, Product Display & Basket screens).
For instance - The module can be configured to "Hide Prices Pending Approval of Customer Account" and to "Require Login to View Products".
With this configuration:
Customers could access the storefront but would be prevented from accessing the Product Listing, Categories, Search, Product Display & Basket screens. They could of course also access the Login & Create New Accounts screens.
Once the customer logged in or created a new account, they would then be able to view the Product Listing, Categories, Search & Product Display screens, but the prices would be hidden.
Once the account was approved by the store's administrator, the customer would be able to login and view product prices.
Multiple Levels of Price Display & Access Restriction
Display of Prices:
Hide Prices Pending Approval of Customer Account
Hide Price Unless Customer Has Account
Show Prices - (Disables Module)
Access to Store:
No Login Required to Access Store
Login Required at Storefront
Login Required to View Products
Customer Messages An optional & customizable "Customer Account Pending Approval" message can be displayed just below the Miva Merchant header. An optional & customizable message can also be displayed on the Customer Account & Customer Information screens. This can be used to inform the customer of the store's policy for accessing the product prices.
For example: "Approval of customer account is required. Please complete the customer account form. You will be notified by email when your account is approved."
Two Modules In One It's actually two modules - a OpenUI system module and an administrative utility Module. The system module customizes the store's look and feel and limits access to prices. The administrative utility module provides the store owner with the ability of reviewing and approving customer accounts.
It's also a feature-rich, admin-friendly customer management utility.
Choose the way you approve customer accounts - accounts can now be approved using either the standard Customer admin or the administrative utility module.
Quick Approval of Customer Accounts The Approve Customers administrative utility module also has a "quick approval" feature. A store's administrator can quickly search for a new customer by login, email address, or other keyword - then approve the customer with one click.
Admin-Friendly navigation - Sort Customers by newest, by id, or by login. Search by login, name or other keyword. Easily scroll through customer records, choose how many are displayed per page, go to first or last record, approve, edit or delete records.
Integrated Price & Availability Groups Support The store administrator can also assign customers to a price and/or availability group at the same time that accounts are being approved.
Template-based Merchant Notification of New Accounts An optional email notification can be sent to a specified address whenever a new account is created by a customer. The subject, header & message body are fully customizable. The message template has tokens for all customer fields - login, password, shipping info & billing info.
Template-based Customer Notification of Approved Accounts An optional email notification can be sent to the customer whenever their account is approved. The subject, header & message body are fully customizable. The message template has tokens for all customer fields - login, password, shipping info & billing info.
Display Attribute-Option Prices Attribute & option prices on the product display screen.
Fully customizable attribute-option prompt template gives you complete control over their display
Works with all types of attributes, drop-down menus, radio button, checkboxes, text fields & memo fields
Modifies both the Product Display & Missing Attributes screens
Completely compatible with Miva Merchant price groups
The ultimate Miva Merchant autoresponder module - send specialized emails at the completion of the order. These emails are in addition to or in place of the standard emails which are sent at order completion, e.g. merchant notification, customer confirmation and even vendor specific notification.
Features: (some features are only in the compiled version)
- Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order
- Merchant notification and customer confirmation
- Vendor and product specific templates
- Include coupons or promo codes when specific products ordered
- Easy to use checkbox configuration of vertical or horizontal layout emails
- Highly configurable free form template layout emails with embedded tokens
- HTML or text email formatting
- Archive flat file is created for each template, easily track sales activity
- Mail Manager Report module can display the flat file contents by time period or product
- Ship to, bill to and other email addresses for each template
- Send emails to your company's internal departments, e.g. shipping
- Emails to web enabled cell phones
- Open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response
- Send a welcome email before the order completes and include a promo code
- Include 3rd party data with tokens, e.g. Addendum responses
- Display shipping and payment invoice messages
- Create packing slip and label emails

- Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
- MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of the mmui.mv is needed and no OpenUI hook points are used
In admin, you create one or more template emails. Each
template can be different, i.e. what it displays, how the
data is oriented on the screen/paper, and what product(s)
triggers the autoresponder. Most responses are triggered
by the product codes purchased. Some example uses:
Email to any of your
drop-ship manufacturers listing the Ship To
address and the products to be shipped if using real time credit
card authorization. The module will sort out which drop shipper gets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. You can still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processing verified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would save hand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flat file is created which you can use to easily track sales activity related to each of your drop-ship manufacturers.
Email to Ship To or Bill To or both thanking them for
a
donation to your sponsored charity on your site.
Email to
your shipping department listing Ship To address
and products ordered if using real time credit card
authorization. Products section can be torn/folded to
result in a shipping label with your company address included. If not using real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similar to the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a
promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specific
product or from a list of products
Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on
specific products or
product lines
Send an email to your cell phone's text messaging
when orders are placed in your store (requires a cell phone
plan that assigns an email address to your phone)
You own a mall with multiple stores within the mall. Those
store owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of
their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track their
sales. In addition to the autoresponse email, mail manager
produces a flat file with order ID, date, product name,
product code, quantity, price for each, and price extended.
Periodically retrieve that flat file and import into a spreadsheet
for easy analysis.
With compiled Merchant, the included Mail Manager Report
module can display the contents of that flat file
through admin. It can filter the report by specific time
periods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits
of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for
excessively long time periods. It can also limit the
report to only one product code. Since the templates can
be designed for each vendor, you can create individual
vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each
vendor.
Literally, you can have a different autoresponder for every
product in your store.
However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:
Send a
welcome email before the order completes, but after
the customer completes the registration process (for those that
create an account)
Send a thank you for
rating a product (using our Rate This system)
along with a coupon code for taking the time to do so
Essentially any event in the mmui, oui or even another third party module can trigger an email which you write for the
particular event
You can use the
ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique
coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now. If you don't have an account with us yet, sign up and you'll see how it works.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite
diverse. Some of the variable features configured through
admin for each template are:
In the compiled version is a free form template using an
extensive list of
tokens and mini-scripts to customize the emails that
are sent at the time of order completion. They can vary
from mimics of the standard
merchant notification and customer confirmation emails to brief order notifications for better acceptance within cell
phone emails. The emails can be plain text or HTML formatted emails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors, layout and even add images to your confirmation and notification emails. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template.
Customize your email and store's physical address
Designate email recipient, i.e. Ship To and/or Bill To and/or fixed email address
List full or partial Ship To and/or Bill To address
Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon for their next visit
Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
Link to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste from a flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability
exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system.
Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but
this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a
specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens
of different responses (individual or grouped) or a
wildcard response for all of the products. You can use it
to make connections not directly related to sales, yet
linked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about
the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800 number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery in hopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted,
intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store's
business and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sending out product specific, followup emails.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of the mmui.mv is needed and no OpenUI hook points are used. Thus, module conflict does not occur. The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. In the compiled version of Merchant (4.14 and newer), you
also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.
The Wizard Pro Combo Pack gives you a slew of OpenUI Wizards that make your store look and feel like you spent a heck of a lot more than $200! Each wizard is the real, full version, and is available at such a discount in this pack only.
Control the Basket Display Layout! Redirect "Add" buttons to terminate at the Basket. Select optional method for Continue Shopping and Checkout. Add Specials Category Display for "Last Chance Specials". Add Thumbnail image......
The most advanced, complete and versitile module available for total control of the overall appearance of your store. Fully compatible with Open UI Tokens and almost all other third party modules.
For the Ultimate in Category Screen Control. Set up unique Templates (Line and/or Expanded) for selected categories. Create display using Checkboxes, Open UI Tokens or a combination of both.
Cumulative tracking of hits/visitors, screens/actions, products, categories, referrals, user agents, searches, states/countries shipped to, and shipping/payment methods
Reset data for any cumulative report individually
Searchable products report including times viewed, added to basket, removed to basket, and ordered
Advanced recent traffic report including configurable session color highlighting and detailed individual basket snooper - This report is addictive. It allows you to watch what is happening in your store in real-time. A record for each screen (storefront, search, category, etc.) and each action (login, add product to basket, etc.) is displayed. Records for the same customer are highlighed in a unique (and configurable) color, making it easy to spot a session at a glance. Each record is also linked to a history for that shopper. If the shopper is logged in you can even see the shopper's name and customer details.
Daily/monthly/yearly/user-defined date range reports including hits, orders, shipping/tax/etc., sales, and screen/action breakdowns - Enter a start and stop date and ELM 2 will tell you how many hits occurred, the number orders, total shipping/tax/etc., total sales, even screen/action breakdowns such as how many customers created accounts. Month-by-month summaries are also available.
Editable order data - Manually adjust order data for any date.
Customizable look and feel, including a seperately configurable style sheet for print media.
Advanced user agent parsing engine - Configure up to 5 sets of parsing criteria for cumulative browser/OS breakdowns, bot reports, etc. - Analyze user agent data based on user-defined logic. The agent parser is hard to appreciate until you play with it, check out our demo admin at http://mvdevelopment.com?Admin to get an idea of what is possible.
Referral tracking including orders and excluded referral domains list - ELM 2 keeps track of where your customers are coming from and your orders/sales from each referrer (orders/sales tracking requires dedicated SSL cert).
Excluded IP Address list - You can configure an unlimted number of IP addresses to ignore when logging.
Track screens from 3rd party modules too (requires OpenUI).
The Extra Customer Fields module allows you to specify additional customer information fields within your store, and also provides template-based layout control over the customer account screen and the customer information within all checkout screens. The extra customer fields can be displayed on all account and checkout screens, including the following:
The Extra Customer Fields module supports all standard Miva Merchant fields, and also allows a variety of input types for extra fields, including text field, text area, checkbox, radio button, single select list, multi-select list, country dropdown, and state dropdown - all configurable from within the module's easy to use administration interface.
Features
Global Settings
Global Settings allows you to optionally set indicators to distinguish fields as required, optional, or both. Indicators can be shown before or after the field prompt. CSS styles are also applied to field prompts and input elements to indicate fields as required, optional, and/or invalid (when data is missing or incorrectly formatted).
Standard Fields
Extra Customer Fields allows you to control even the standard customer fields. This administration section allows you to change the prompt for a field and to set optional field attributes, such as CSS selectors, size, and even JavaScript event handling code.
Prompts can be dynamically controlled using OpenTokens - the prompt fields fully support all OpenToken functionality.
Templates
The layout of the account screen and the customer portions of the checkout screens can be customized using templates and tokens. Each screen has its own template, and fields and their associated prompts are displayed via tokens. For example, %nbecf_fname_s% is replaced with the input box for the Ship-to First Name.
There is also a template for the admin screen. Administrators can view and edit the data entered by customers within the Miva Merchant administration utility. The admin template determines the layout of this administration screen.
Extra Customer Fields
Extra fields can be defined to collect additional information from your customers, either during checkout, account creation, or both. Each extra field is assigned a name, a prompt, an interface type, and optionally a default value and attributes. The name is hidden from customers, but is used as the token to represent this field within the templates. The prompt is the text label shown to customers. Several interface types are available, including text field, text area, dropdown menu, checkbox, radio button, single select, multi select, and even states and countries dropdowns with data pulled from the corresponding store databases. If a field is given a default value, that default value will be present when an empty form is loaded. Attributes are used to specify CSS selectors, sizes, and JavaScript event handlers. Finally, each field can be designated as required or optional.
Dropdowns, radio buttons, and single and multi select fields also have options. These options are defined on a separate screen for each field, and can be reordered as needed.
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.
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.
This bundle of fulfillment modules gives you an incredible range of powerful features for efficient, customer and store owner friendly order processing.
If you don't know which OpenUI product you need, then THIS IS THE ONE!
The OpenUI Advanced (formerly OpenUI Standard) is ULTIMATE enhancement for your Miva Merchant store! Too many features to even begin to list, and all for a VERY LOW PRICE!! It gives you all of the features you are already used to from OpenUI Look & Feel Basic, and the following addons are include:
And the new OpenUI Turbo (double your OpenTokens speed!)
The OpenUI Look & Feel module replaces your MMUI module and provides central 'hooks' through which module developers may easily add features and performance enhancing solutions without having to reinvent the wheel with each Merchant release.
UDPATED VERSION - NEW AND IMPROVED!
We went all out with this latest release of the OpenUI. We have included the following enhancements:
OpenBatches™ - This simplifies order processing in Miva Merchant like never before. You no longer have to go back and forth between the left-hand tree and right-hand main window. From the right hand main window, searchable lists allow you to search, view, edit, or delete batches. This screen also allows you to view orders within a particular batch via OpenOrders™, shows if you have new orders, and even enables you to create a new batch. This all happens from ONE interface.
OpenOrders™ - Using the main window, you now have a searchable order list that allows you to filter by all orders, only unbatched orders, or by orders within an individual batch. You can further filter by order number, product code, order total range, and by date and time range. From this screen, you can also edit and delete individual orders. Once again, this all happens in ONE interface.
An optional statistics interface that works with both the OpenBatches™ and OpenOrders™can be unlocked with the purchase of an OpenUI Pro license key. Find out your top sellers, revenue generators, sales by the hour and day, and much MORE! Read More Detailed Information!
This additional license key is solely for statistics features and will have NO impact on existing or future OpenUI installations. All stores will continue to function with the same capabilities as before and include the great features listed below.
Shorter URLS for Google - It was recently announced in a newsletter geared toward search engines and Miva Merchant that category and product pages without the store code in the url were being readily indexed by the top search engine in the world, Google. If you only have one store, the OpenUI will automatically remove the store code from all urls in the category tree, product list, search results, and basket contents screen. If you have two stores, your store code will remain in the url.
Example:Instead of merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CODE&Category_Code=CATEGORY, it will be: merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=CATEGORY This applies to compiled stores with the mvc extension as well.
Feature added based on recommendations from JMH Web Services (jmhonline.net). *This information has been updated to reflect new findings from JMH. Google now does not have a problem with the store code.
Category and Product Names First in Title Tags- Miva Merchant and previously the OpenUI put your store name before the category and product names in their respective screens title tag (i.e. Store Name: Category or Product Name). Depending on the length of your store name, your category and product titles may not be appearing in your search engine listings title phrase! With the new and improved OpenUI, your category and product titles will be first in the title tag, resulting in better listings within search engines (i.e.Category or Product Title: Store Name).
Feature added based on recommendations from JMH Web Services (jmhonline.net).
A New (Optional) Interface for the Miva Merchant Navigation Bar (navbar)- You now have better (and more) control over which navigation buttons are displayed, as well as many other features including:
Ability to specify cellpadding and cellspacing of navbar.
Optional navbar background image.
Options to align navbar (i.e. Full, Center, Left, Right).
Ability to change navbar buttons including the logo to space, text, etc.
Token replacement in the Cell "links" can be done using the %VAR(varname )% convention. For example, to include the g.sessionurl, just use "%VAR(g.sessionurl)%". To include the store id, use "%VAR(Stores.d.id)%". Most available variables can be used, but they will all be filtered through the encodeentities() function before they are substituted.
Feature added based on recommendations from Rich Chatfield (customMvDesign.com).
Support for New Attribute Types Built-In- New Attribute Types were previously only supported in the uncompiled versions of Miva Merchant, but will now be in both the compiled and uncompiled versions, and will not require the Admin Extension installation.
Support for module Order Tabs Built-In- module Order Tabs were previously only supported in the uncompiled versions of Miva Merchant, but will now be in both the compiled and uncompiled versions, and will not require the Admin Extension installation.
Body and Head Tag Options - You don't need additional modules anymore for these two fields if you use the latest version of the OpenUI! Include javascript, cascading style sheets, meta tags, margin height and width, preload images, and much more. For example:
<Select One> Option for Drop-Down Lists - You can now include Select One as the default prompt for attributes, shipping options, and payment option drop-down lists. The default prompt is also customizable for each one. (i.e i.e <Choose Color>, <Select A Shipping Method>, <Select Payment Method>)
The OpenUI Look & Feel Pro License Key unlocks a special feature of the latest OpenUI module. Once you unlock this feature with your license, you will be able to see the total stats for the orders in one batch, all unbatched orders, or all orders regardless of classification. The stats page gives a total sales summary, and then breaks the total sales down by day-of-the-week and time of day (by the hour) the orders were made. The stats page also lists the top selling products and top revenue generators for the specified parameters. The stats are based on the filtering options you currently have set, allowing you to specify exactly what information you would like to generate. For example, if you are in the customer screen on the OpenOrders™ tab and click on the stats button, you will see the stats of that customer's order only. If you have filtered the orders based on the order total and the date range, then the stats will be based on this filter. The stats button gives you immense flexibility because it allows you to view stats using a single filter or any combination of filters. For example, you can see the top 20 products from those that purchased SOMEPRODUCT, or those that have spent over a designated amount....or use both filters. All these resources are available simply by clicking the stats button, which appears on both the OpenOrders™and OpenBatches™ screens.
This additional license key is solely for the new stats features and will have NO impact on existing or future Open UI installation. All stores will continue to function with the same capabilities as before. You can purchase a key by clicking here.
The OpenUI Look & Feel Basic...this is the low-cost, entry-level OpenUI Look & Feel product that is required for running the many 3rd Party Modules currently available. (formerly OpenUI Standard)
It can be enhanced with OpenUI addons, such as the following:
And the new OpenUI Turbo (double your OpenTokens speed!)
The OpenUI Look & Feel module replaces your MMUI module and provides central 'hooks' through which module developers may easily add features and performance enhancing solutions without having to reinvent the wheel with each Merchant release.
UDPATED VERSION - NEW AND IMPROVED!
We went all out with this latest release of the OpenUI. We have included the following enhancements:
OpenBatches™ - This simplifies order processing in Miva Merchant like never before. You no longer have to go back and forth between the left-hand tree and right-hand main window. From the right hand main window, searchable lists allow you to search, view, edit, or delete batches. This screen also allows you to view orders within a particular batch via OpenOrders™, shows if you have new orders, and even enables you to create a new batch. This all happens from ONE interface.
OpenOrders™ - Using the main window, you now have a searchable order list that allows you to filter by all orders, only unbatched orders, or by orders within an individual batch. You can further filter by order number, product code, order total range, and by date and time range. From this screen, you can also edit and delete individual orders. Once again, this all happens in ONE interface.
An optional statistics interface that works with both the OpenBatches™ and OpenOrders™can be unlocked with the purchase of an OpenUI Pro license key. Find out your top sellers, revenue generators, sales by the hour and day, and much MORE! Read More Detailed Information!
This additional license key is solely for statistics features and will have NO impact on existing or future OpenUI installations. All stores will continue to function with the same capabilities as before and include the great features listed below.
Shorter URLS for Google - It was recently announced in a newsletter geared toward search engines and Miva Merchant that category and product pages without the store code in the url were being readily indexed by the top search engine in the world, Google. If you only have one store, the OpenUI will automatically remove the store code from all urls in the category tree, product list, search results, and basket contents screen. If you have two stores, your store code will remain in the url.
Example:Instead of merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CODE&Category_Code=CATEGORY, it will be: merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=CATEGORY This applies to compiled stores with the mvc extension as well.
Feature added based on recommendations from JMH Web Services (jmhonline.net). *This information has been updated to reflect new findings from JMH. Google now does not have a problem with the store code.
Category and Product Names First in Title Tags- Miva Merchant and previously the OpenUI put your store name before the category and product names in their respective screens title tag (i.e. Store Name: Category or Product Name). Depending on the length of your store name, your category and product titles may not be appearing in your search engine listings title phrase! With the new and improved OpenUI, your category and product titles will be first in the title tag, resulting in better listings within search engines (i.e.Category or Product Title: Store Name).
Feature added based on recommendations from JMH Web Services (jmhonline.net).
A New (Optional) Interface for the Miva Merchant Navigation Bar (navbar)- You now have better (and more) control over which navigation buttons are displayed, as well as many other features including:
Ability to specify cellpadding and cellspacing of navbar.
Optional navbar background image.
Options to align navbar (i.e. Full, Center, Left, Right).
Ability to change navbar buttons including the logo to space, text, etc.
Token replacement in the Cell "links" can be done using the %VAR(varname )% convention. For example, to include the g.sessionurl, just use "%VAR(g.sessionurl)%". To include the store id, use "%VAR(Stores.d.id)%". Most available variables can be used, but they will all be filtered through the encodeentities() function before they are substituted.
Feature added based on recommendations from Rich Chatfield (customMvDesign.com).
Support for New Attribute Types Built-In- New Attribute Types were previously only supported in the uncompiled versions of Miva Merchant, but will now be in both the compiled and uncompiled versions, and will not require the Admin Extension installation.
Support for module Order Tabs Built-In- module Order Tabs were previously only supported in the uncompiled versions of Miva Merchant, but will now be in both the compiled and uncompiled versions, and will not require the Admin Extension installation.
Body and Head Tag Options - You don't need additional modules anymore for these two fields if you use the latest version of the OpenUI! Include javascript, cascading style sheets, meta tags, margin height and width, preload images, and much more. For example:
<Select One> Option for Drop-Down Lists - You can now include Select One as the default prompt for attributes, shipping options, and payment option drop-down lists. The default prompt is also customizable for each one. (i.e i.e <Choose Color>, <Select A Shipping Method>, <Select Payment Method>)
The OpenUI Look & Feel Pro License Key unlocks a special feature of the latest OpenUI module. Once you unlock this feature with your license, you will be able to see the total stats for the orders in one batch, all unbatched orders, or all orders regardless of classification. The stats page gives a total sales summary, and then breaks the total sales down by day-of-the-week and time of day (by the hour) the orders were made. The stats page also lists the top selling products and top revenue generators for the specified parameters. The stats are based on the filtering options you currently have set, allowing you to specify exactly what information you would like to generate. For example, if you are in the customer screen on the OpenOrders™ tab and click on the stats button, you will see the stats of that customer's order only. If you have filtered the orders based on the order total and the date range, then the stats will be based on this filter. The stats button gives you immense flexibility because it allows you to view stats using a single filter or any combination of filters. For example, you can see the top 20 products from those that purchased SOMEPRODUCT, or those that have spent over a designated amount....or use both filters. All these resources are available simply by clicking the stats button, which appears on both the OpenOrders™and OpenBatches™ screens.
This additional license key is solely for the new stats features and will have NO impact on existing or future Open UI installation. All stores will continue to function with the same capabilities as before. You can purchase a key by clicking here.
Customer Reviews Manager is a robust, template-based customer ratings and reviews module for Merchant 4.14 and higher. It combines extensive display flexibility with an easy-to-use administrative backend. Features include:
Template-based ratings display. Products ratings may be included on all product pages in Merchant including search results, product list, category, and product screens. Graphical ratings may be used, and separate templates are available for "line item" and "expanded" displays. Templates are also provided for use if no ratings are available.
Template-based reviews display. Use "tokens" to configure exactly how reviews display. The number of reviews to display per page, and an alternate template if no reviews are available are also configurable.
Template-based add reviews form. In addition to rating and title, you may optionally allow the customer to include her name and/or location with the review. These fields are pre-populated from the customer's account.
With compiled Merchant, the included Mail Manager Report
module can display the contents of that flat file
through admin. It can filter the report by specific time
periods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits
of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for
excessively long time periods. It can also limit the
report to only one product code. Since the templates can
be designed for each vendor, you can create individual
vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each
vendor.
