If your customers aren't REPEAT customers then you are losing hits, money, or BOTH!
If they've been to your site once and had fun browsing, or ordered products, then there is a GREAT chance that they'll want to know when you have special offers, new information or just new stuff for them to see!
Subscribe2 PRO is the answer to your problems...
You can be up and running in less than one hour with the default settings which offer an attractive set of screens allowing your customers to:
supply their name and email address to subscribe
optionally ( recommended for adult content ) respond to an automatic email which verifies the address they have given is valid
That doesn't mean that you have to stick with the defaults if you don't want to.... you can customize these pages to look however you like.
What the customer sees is, however, only the start. When you fire up the Subscribe2 Administrators System you'll KNOW we mean business!
Clear, professional and VERY useable..
The Outbox is one of the things which makes Subscribe2 unique. It works just like your email software AND it will happily run in the background sending mail while you prepare more mailings! A visual progress bar gives you a quick visual reference of how your batch is doing and before you know it you'll be all done.

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.

This module tracks top selling products, both store-wide, and within individual categories, which can then be displayed to your customers with links to the top products sold. The powerful admin interface allows virtually absolute control over the appearance.
"Tokens" allow you to create your own top selling products section in an unlimited number of ways, creating dynamic content based on your pre-formatted HTML. The module allows you to choose between a number of general display options, including the number of top products to display, the ability to display above/below the category tree, or above/below the main page, and what sections of the store to display top sellers on.
Store-wide top sellers may be displayed on the storefront and product pages, and category top sellers may be displayed on category and product pages. The module senses whether a customer has arrived at a product page from a category or not, and displays either the category top sellers or the store-wide top sellers accordingly.
Top seller data can be reset anytime, either manually, or automatically through admin. For example, you can set the module to reset the top selling products data every x days, for top weekly sellers, etc.
You can also block specific products from being displayed as top sellers using the filter option in admin.
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

- Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon
- 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.
You've got your store spidered by the search engines, you're showing up in the search engine results, but you just can't seem to improve your rankings...Search Engine Tweak Pro (SETPro) is here to help!
Search engines take into account many factors when ranking web results, and one of the most important is proper page content optimization. Miva Merchant's dynamic page creation is not designed to be search engine friendly with how it creates and displays the page content. This is where SETPro comes in to play with a number of optimizations and enhancements for product and category screens. These optimizations are primarily done with the Google search engine in mind, but are also relevant to most other popular search engines.
PRODUCT SCREENS:
Product Name Tags:
Allows you to set the product names on the product screens to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (
,
,
,
, ).
The keywords to focus on for an individual product page are typically contained within the product name. Making the product name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined.
Remove Store Name In Product Title Bar:
Optionally strips out the store name in the product screen title bars.
Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the product name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the product name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus.
Product Description at Top of HTML Body:
Optionally placed at the very top of the page, just after the
tag in the page code, this displays the product name followed by the first 200 characters of the product description. Any HTML used in the description is stripped out before being displayed at the page top.
Stock Miva Merchant nests a considerable amount of hidden tables within one another. It makes for an adequate display but search engines don't see page content as the viewer does. That creates a large amount of page code that pushes the product descriptions far down the page, even possibly tripping up some older search engines. It's best to have your real keyword content as far up the page code as possible, creating more keyword weight and improving relevancy for the product pages. It's recommended to use either this option or the commented out feature described below, but not both.
Commented Out Product Description at Top of HTML Body:
Optionally placed at the very top of the page, just after the
tag in the page code. This option adds the product name followed by the first 200 characters of the product description text, commented out (hidden from view). Any HTML used in the description is stripped out before it's added to the top of the page code.
This is the same as the product description display above, except that the description and title are commented out, essentially invisible, at the top of the page. Most search engines will ignore comment tags but some may take them into account. This is an elegant alternative to actually displaying the product name with description at the top of the page, leaving the page as it's meant to be displayed. It's recommended to use either this option or the displayed product description feature described above, but not both.
CATEGORY SCREENS:
Category Name Tags:
Allows you to set the category names on the category screen, to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (
,
,
,
, ).
The keywords to focus on for an individual category page are typically contained within the category name. Making the category name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined.
Remove Store Name In Category Title Bar:
Optionally strips out the store name in the category screen title bars.
Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the category name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the category name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus.
Product Links in Line-Item Listings:
Optionally replaces the product name with a linked product name, when a line-tem listing is used. This is mainly for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens.
Search Engines add additional keyword weight to pages using those keywords contained in incoming anchor text (links) from other pages.
Product Short Description in Line-Item Listings:
Optionally adds a short product description under the product name when a line-item listing is used. Mostly used for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens when line-item formatting is used. Choices are:
None
Product Description (First 200 characters with stripped out HTML code)
Product Short Description (Displays from the OpenUI Short Description Field)
Particularly helpful with non-descriptive category screens or related product areas, by adding more useful content for search engines to index. Also useful for adding varied keyphrases by use of the product's Short Description field.
With this
module, you can easily modify the StoreKey value for the Orders, Baskets,
Products or any Miva Merchant database. A useful database tool for developers,
administrators and store owners.

If you want to change the way your CategoryTree looks, then this is the OpenObject library you need. It allows you full control over the display the category tree, while leaving the actual database code in compiled MivaScript! The best of both worlds!
This creates a number of OpenObjects. These include:
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE -- Main Category Tree Object
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_SKIP -- Allows you to reconfigure how to determine which categories are skipped.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_HEADER_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "header" category "tree image" is displayed. Header categories are those with an underscore as the 2nd character of the category's code.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_HEADER_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "header" category "text name" is displayed. Header categories are those with an underscore as the 2nd character of the category's code.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_IMAGE -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "tree image" is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "tree image" (selected) is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_TEXT -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "text name" is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "text name" (selected) is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_IMAGE -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "tree image" is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "tree image" (selected) is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_TEXT -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "text name" is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "text name" (selected) is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_IMAGE -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "tree image" is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "tree image" (selected) is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_TEXT -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "text name" is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "text name" (selected) is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
The main category tree object (OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE) is a drop-in replacement for the standard OUI2_CATTREE object. By default, it functions the same as the OUI2_CATTREE object, but since the database code for the tree is compiled, it will run faster.
You can also use this object manually by calling it as such:
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE)%
It also supports a number of different "filter" options, that allow you to automatically filter out (or skip) what categories are actually displayed. These filters, and how they are used, are:
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||ALPHA)% -- Will only display categories that begin with an alphacharacter, upper or lower case (A-Z, a-z).
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||ALNUM)% -- Will only display categories that begin with an alpha or numeric character, upper or lower case, or a number (A-Z, a-z, 0-9).
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||DIGIT)% -- Will only display categories that begin with an numeric character (0-9).
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||CHAR:{chr})% -- Will only display categories that begin with the specified character.
By default, all categories are displayed with one of four "style" classes. These will be specified in the anchor tag (for links), or
via the span tag (for non-links). Of course, this can be changed by editing the objects defined above.
cattree_header -- Header categories are those with an underscore as the 2nd character of the category's code.
cattree_top -- Top-level categories are those with no parent.
cattree_parent -- Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
cattree_child -- Child-level categories are those with no children.

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.
