Found 33 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.
This module provides you with control over the layout of your store's Storefront page (aka. the "welcome" page). It lets you directly configure the html used to display the "welcome" portion. Tokens can be used to display information for specific products. Tokens are also available to display products selected randomly from the entire store or only particular categories. Lists of products can be maintained and those products referred to in the template simply by their position in the list. This provides you with an easy way to change the products displayed simply by changing the product in the corresponding position in the list. Similarly, images can be uploaded and "stored" in lists and you can display those images (with or without a configurable link) simply by using a token which refers to the image's position in the list. Rankings of your most "viewed" and "purchased" products are maintained and the information from those products can be displayed by tokens which refer specifically to the position in the lists. So you can easily maintain lists of your "best sellers" or "most popular" products.
Note about compatibility with other modules: This module totally bypasses the portion of the OpenUI (or MMUI if you are using it) that displays the "welcome" portion of the store front page and is not compatible with any other module which modifies that portion of the page unless the developer of that module has specifically made their module compatible. This module provides for an easy-to-use manner for developers to provide tokens that can be used to insert their module's HTML into the pages. And these tokens can be registered in the module's admin interface (see here). Almost VikingCoders.com's modules are compatible with this module (ie. there are tokens that can be used to display their information on the store front page) or soon will be.
Another note about compatibility: This module is compatible with the OpenUI right out of the box. However, for it to be compatible with the MMUI requires a minor modification to the MMUI file (ie. mmui.mv). Go here for instructions on making that modification.
Let your customers know you care. The Welcome Email module will allow you to automatically send an email to your customer upon account creation on your storefront. Great for sending your customers account login and password to them. Can be sent to either the bill to or the ship to email address. Fully configurable admin with available tokens and HTML formatting.
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, vendor specific notification, and even cell phone emails. It also can send welcome emails when a new customer account is created. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order - Merchant notification and customer confirmation - Vendor and product specific templates - Can limit sending based on a specific attribute/option code for a product - Include coupons or promo codes when specific products ordered - Optionally require an input to allow the email, e.g. a response from Addendum - 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 as abbreviated messages - Open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response - Can resend emails when the customer knows and enters their order number and email address - Use render token to send an email from any pagein the store - Send a welcome email before the order completes and optionally include a promo code, customer login and password - Include 3rd party data with module tokens, e.g. Addendum responses - Display shipping and payment invoice messages - Create packing slip and label emails - Ship to country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations - 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
Feature Details. In admin, you create one or more template emails. Eachtemplate 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 creditcard authorization. The module will sort out which drop shippergets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. Unlike some other vendors' drop ship notification modules, this one only includesthe products belonging to the associated drop shipper. Thus a drop shipper doesnot see the products being supplied to the customer by other drop shippers when the order contains multiple product sources. Youcan still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processingverified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would savehand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flatfile 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 addressand products ordered if using real time credit card authorization. Products section can be cut/folded to result in a shipping label with your company address included. If notusing real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similarto the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specificproduct 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 inbox 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. Thosestore owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track theirsales. 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 spreadsheetfor easy analysis.
The included Mail Manager Report module can display the contents of that flat file through admin. It can filter the report by specific timeperiods (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 canbe 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 everyproduct in your store.
However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture sothat other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:
Send a welcome email before the order completes, but afterthe customer completes the registration process (for those thatcreate 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
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.
Use a render token to send an email from any page in the store. For example, put it on the product page to send a specific email when a specific product's page is viewed by a customer who is logged in. The email goes to their password recovery address (but could be bill to or ship to address). If you want it sent to a hard coded address, e.g. yours to monitor traffic,you would put your email address in the 3rd parameter of the token. The uses of this feature are endless. Send a coupon to entice customers to buy when they visit specific product screens. Tell them about other products related to the one they just viewed.
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:
Show or hide any of the data elements
Orient your email either horizontally or vertically
There is also 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 formattedemails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors,layout and even add images to your confirmation and notificationemails. If your shipping and payment modules are configured withinvoice notices, these can be included in the emails with a token. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create packing slip and label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template. In the free form template you canalso set the time so that it can be offset from the server time,thus display for a different time zone in each of your emails.
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
Resend order emails if the customer knows and enters the order number and email which match the actual order. The form for these two data elements can be placed anywhere you can edit the store user interface, e.g. headers, footers, welcome screen.
You can specify the product code and an attribute/option value that must also be met before the email will be sent. This is particularly useful when the emails are used for vendor notification. A certain product might bedrop shipped by two different vendors and the only difference is the selected attribute/option value.
Insert a "require" token that has to be met before the email will be allowed. As example,have a checkbox using Addendum to ask a customer if they want to be added to a list server (mailing list). Then if they check the box, the "yes" response is sent to Mail Manager. The Mail Manager can then generate a specifically formatted email to activate an email address at your list server, if you have one.
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
List products and prices or just the products without prices
Link the email usage 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 froma 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 itto make connections not directly related to sales, yetlinked 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 800number 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 inhopes 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'sbusiness and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sendingout product specific, emails.
The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. For the more experienced, 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.
Have you ever wondered how to get customers to see the new stuff? Perhaps you've laboriously created links in your STOREFRONT welcome message.
Well now you don't have to. What's New allows you to add entries through the Merchant admin system that will create a Whats New entry on your storefront page below ( or instead of ) the normal message.
Entries are displayed most recent first. You decide how many should be displayed on the storepage, and if there are more a "More.." link is generated which displays additional pages of older entries.

Market to your customers intelligently using the knowledge gained by their shopping habbits in your store!
This is one of our "Smart Suite" of products. They intelligently track your shoppers thru your store and then automatically makes "Smart" decisions about the products and categories to recommend to them.
This "Smart" module allows you to display categories and products on your StoreFront page, in a right-hand column (similar to the Category Tree). You can specify how many categories and products to display, and you can also optionally display the product thumbnail with each.
Create and display category listings with assigned products on your storefront. For example, create a "Featured Products" listing and/or a "New Products" listing. Create as many listings as you want and assign as many products to each listing as you want. Each listing uses a preset HTML layout that is created by you. Within your desired HTML you can select from many of the available tokens.
Some of the tokens are: ò %name% - Shows Product Name ò %linked_name% - Shows Product Name Linked ò %code% - Shows Product Code ò %linked_code% - Shows Product Code Linked ò %weight% - Shows Product Weight ò %price% - Shows Product Price ò %cost% - Shows Product Cost ò %savings% - Shows Product Savings ò %desc% - Shows Product Description ò %short_desc% - Shows Short Product Description ò %thumbnail% - Shows Product Thumbnail ò %linked_thumbnail% - Shows Product Thumbnail Linked ò %add2cart% - Shows Add 2 Cart Button ò %add2cartI% - Shows Add 2 Cart Image ò %buy1now% - Shows Buy 1 Now Button ò %buy1nowI% - Shows Buy 1 Now Image ò %url% - Open Product Link Tag
Place Log In and Log Out buttons in normal display position, at the bottom of the category tree menu, in the Navigation Bar between the Basket Display and Checkout, or in the upper right of the main body of the display just below the navigation bar.
The Login/Logout Wizard module will let you display either Text Link or Images for customers to use.
With this wizard, you can choose whether or not to display the Welcome Message, and you can choose your own Text Link labels.
Either the Log In or Log Out link is displayed depending on whether or not the customer has logged in.
Communication of order status with your customers is a critical element in the overall success of your store. Provide order status change emails to customers, keep track of order changes with backend administrative notes, and provide customers with an easy login view of their order status and invoice. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Order status updated in admin including tracking numbers and admin notes - Bulk update several orders' status with a single click - Status change emails with tracking links can optionally be sent to customers - Unlimited number of templates for the status change emails - Quick inventory adjustment when orders are cancelled - End of day (EOD) productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or specific date - EOD display all records or just the records with a specific status - EOD contains links to the order edit screen for easy viewing of an individual order - EOD display of products sold summary reports - Run a Stock Level Report (SLR) to determine which items are nearing depletion - Editable interface to change the inventory levels of all/any products in the SLR - Export the SLR for mass editing/importing or to interface with your office backend - Annotate progress updates from multiple departments within the order record - Progress is visibile to other admin entities within your store at all times - Customers can view their order status history including tracking links and product lists - Order status history can use default or store built template - Customers can view their invoice within current orders from the order status history or the link in the confirmation email - Customers can view their order status and shipping tracking by entering their order number and email - Customers can have one click re-order from invoices in the current orders - Auto-assign customer membership to price groups based on their order total history
Feature Details. Provide order status change emails to customers, keep track of order changes with backend administrative notes, and provide customers with an easy login view of their order status and invoice. Easily manage customer communication with this module and the related modules below.
The membership system allows you to automatically include customers into price groups when they log into your store and is based on their prior purchase history. You set up your price groups as you would any price groups and assign the applicable products to those groups. Then you specify a trigger level required for the customer to be a member of each group. You can insert tokens into the applicable screens, e.g. customer edit, welcome back returning and new customers. Then when they log in, the token runs the order history for the status codes you specify (e.g. F for filled), sums the totals, and checks to see if they meet a membership level. If they do, they are inserted into the highest qualified price group.
In addition to enhanced communication with your customers, you may want to manage product levels associated with orders and cancelled orders. Miva Merchant allows you to track stock levels of your products online. As products are placed in the basket, the level is decremented. If the order is not completed, the products are returned to the shelf when you delete expired baskets. If the order is cancelled, the products are not automatically returned to stock in the core Miva Merchant. The customer and product management modules interface with the built in internal inventory management (IM) system to improve the overall IM usability.
In the administrative interface:
Shipping tracking numbers, entered through admin, display in the customer account and the status update email (can be linked directly to the shipper tracking page)
Change the order status and optionally send the customer an order status email which can vary based on the style of the status email chosen. Email styles are created using templates with tokens for insertion of specific variables. Can update several orders at once with the bulk status update feature.
Run an end of day-productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or a specific date displaying all records or just the records with a specific status. A convenient link to the order edit screen makes viewing an individual order quick and easy.
Re-establish inventory levels for a product when an order has been cancelled (auto-restock) or new quantities are put in your inventory.
Run a Stock Level Report to determine which items are nearing depletion or all products being managed for inventory. The module admin console includes an easily editable interface to change the inventory levels of all/any products in the report.
Export a flat file of product codes, quantity, and product name for easy mass editing/importing or to interface with your office backend systems or for re-import into Merchant itself.
Additional order related data can be added in the admin screen; employee code making the status change, date of the change, narrative notes about the order, numeric value (e.g. for adjustments). Multiple admin updates can be made to each order's record by any department within your store (packing, shipping, accounting, returns, etc).
From the customer account record:
Customers can view the status of all of their orders, including update information (e.g. tracking numbers) which is entered by the store owner through admin. The order status history display can be modified by the store owner with a template and tokens. You can even include hot links to carriers' tracking systems with the number filled in. You'll need to enter your carrier tracking URLs into the module's admin configuration screen. The number of carrier URLs you include in admin is not limited.
Customers can view their previous invoices as long as they are in online batches or still in the unbatched orders.
Even after orders and batches are deleted (you may delete processed orders to save disk space) the customer can still review the basic products listed in their order along with the shipping and payment info.
Customers can re-order/duplicate a previous order with a single click from the invoice (order details page) which are still in online batches (i.e. not deleted) or as yet unbatched orders.
Be sure to take a look at our other related modules which can enhance store - customer - vendor communication even further. They include:
Contact Manager - provide a support interface without needlessly including your email on your store's pages for spam harvesters to capture
Event Reminder - customers and store admin can schedule reminders to themselves or others for specific events/tasks at specific times
Follow-on Contact - generate after sales communication at pre-determined points of time in the future
Mail Manager - generate template emails (with tokens) as HTML or text as an auto-response, e.g. as customer order confirmation or even welcome emails
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.
The Product Dropdown Menu places a javascript-based dropdown menu of your products on your site. The menu can be placed in one of eight locations within your storefront. Available locations include:
Above the Global Header
Below the Global Header
Category Tree, Above Categories
Category Tree, Below Categories
Above the Global Footer
Below the Global Footer
Above the Storefront Welcome
Below the Storefront Welcome
Visitors can select a product from the dropdown menu and automatically be taken to that product. The product list is pulled from the database, and if you use availability groups, the list is based on the customer's available products.
Our module sends mail to the store owner when a customer creates, or updates an account. Simply add this module, and e-mail will arrive in the store owners mailbox when a customer wants to be sent mail. E-mail contains billing address for that account.
Another module included for 3.x and 4.x will send the login information to the user. Can be manually customized to include password, and store return link. Sends mail upon account creation.
New Account Customer Emails allows you to send automatic emails to customers when new accounts are created. "Tokens" can be used to create dynamic, personalized messages. Tokens are available for customer name, email, login, password, and company.
This module can also send HTML formatted messages (the default is plain text).
The NetPush InstantDiscount module will automatically put new account signups into price group or availability group. It will also send an email to the user and to the admin. The email is customizable.
Have your customers signup and automatically be able to receive discounts on their purchases. This module helps create customer goodwill...
Note: The customer must be logged in before putting items in the basket. Miva price groups calculate discounts when the item is put into the basket.
This module allows store administrators to set up various "Parent Accounts" which can be assigned to any number of Price and/or Availability Groups. They may then give out the login/password for those Parent Accounts to anyone they wish to have access to those particular Groups.
When a customer logs into a Parent Account, it will display a short message (i.e., "Welcome to our Wholesale Program! Please create your account") and force them to create a new account. This new account will be assigned to the same Price and Availability Groups as the Parent Account.

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.

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.

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.
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.
