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 allows you to configure buy x get x free specials on a product-by-product basis. Simply check a box in admin to enable buy x get x free specials for a product, specify the quantity that must be purchased, the quantity free, and, optionally, a maximum quantity free. Free items appear on all invoices, basket display, etc.
Additionally, you can configure an alternate product to be used for the free product(s). The maximum quantity free and alternate product options allow for a number of scenarios, such as:
Buy 1 or more widgets and receive a free special edition widget poster with your order.
Buy 3 widgets get 1 free. Maximum of 2 free widgets per order.
Unlimited 2 for 1 special on all widgets.
Note: This module is not compatible with the Linkpoint payment gateway because Linkpoint does not allow zero-priced items. If using uncompiled Merchant (4.13 or lower), we can make a minor modification to your Linkpoint payment module to skip zero-priced items when sending the order to Linkpoint.
The Buy X Items - Get 1 Free module gives the shopper a discount based on a predetermined qualifying number of items. In Merchant admin, the store owner sets the number of items it requires in order for the lowest priced item to be free. For every increment of that trigger number, an item's value reduces the total sale. For example, if the number is 5 and the customer buys 5, the lowest priced item is free. If the customer buys 10, the lowest two items are free.
When the customer views their basket, the free item discount appears as a separate line item. If they view the basket prior to reaching the trigger level by one, there is a message telling the customer to add one more and the lowest priced item will be free.
In the compiled version you can change the percentage discount from 100% (free) to a lesser discount of the lowest priced items. You also can change the message in the basket from the admin configuration panel. You can specify a list of products which are not figured in the quantity calculation nor are they eligible for the discounting.
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.
DiscountTrk is our mid-level discount module. It provides the ability to create both volume discounts and buy # get # free discounts. Product prices are updated on the screen as the basket contents change. Discounts are easily created through the standard merchant admin interface or for even quicker discount creation and modification, import and export modules have been included in our DiscountTrk module.
Volume Discounts can be created on a storewide or product specific basis. These discounts are applied to every customer in your store.
One option for discounts created on a storewide basis is a fixed amount off. With a store wide fixed amount off discount, you can make it so that if a customer purchases a certain number of items in the store they will receive the specified dollar amount off of each of those items. Another option is a percentage off discount. This discount can be created to allow a customer that purchases the minimum number of items you specify in the store a percentage off of the total basket price.
Volume discounts created for a specific product include the features of storewide discounts, additionally, it adds the functionality to create a new fixed price for the product based upon the amount of the item purchased. This feature allows you to, for example, charge one price for 1-3 of an item, a different price for 4-6, and yet another price for 7 or more of the same item.
Another useful feature of DiscountTrk is buy # get # free discounts. These discounts are applied to all customers. The most frequent application of this discount is the product specific buy # get # free discount where for example you have the customer buy 3 items and get the 4th free. Buy # get # free can also be configured storewide.
DiscountTrk Professional is our premier discount module. It provides the ability to create both volume discounts and buy # get # free discounts. Product prices are updated on the screen as the basket contents change. Discounts are easily created through the standard merchant admin interface or for even quicker discount creation and modification, import and export modules have been included in our DiscountTrk Professional module.
Volume Discounts can be created on a storewide, category specific, or product specific basis. These discounts can be applied to every customer in your store, a specific price group, or only customers that are not in any price group.
One option for discounts created on a storewide or category specific basis is a fixed amount off.

The Buy X Items - Get 1 Free module gives the shopper a discount basedon a predetermined qualifying number of items. In Merchant admin, the store owner sets the number of items it requires in order for the lowest priced item to be free. For every increment of that trigger number, an item's valuereduces the total sale. For example, if the number is 5 and the customerbuys 5, the lowest priced item is free. If the customer buys 10, the lowest two items are free. The store can exempt specific items and can also make the discount a percentage of the item instead of free. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
When the customer views their basket, the free item discount appears as a separate line item. If they view the basket prior to reaching the trigger level by one, there is a message telling the customer to add one more and the lowest priced item will be free.
You can change the percentage discount from 100% (free) to a lesser discount of the lowest priced items. You also can change the message in the basket from the admin configuration panel.
You can exempt specific product codes from the number of products to be counted and not use them in the discount calculation.
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.
Reward your customers, track advertising success, and more! Special promotions can boost sales, improve customer loyalty, and provide feedback from catalogs, mailings, and other advertisement distributions. Expand your Miva Merchant storefront's capabilities with our PromoTrk Fulfillment module, a powerfully configurable promotion solution.
An unlimited number of promotions can be set up with a variety of options. Provide fixed and percentage discounts off either specific products, or the entire order total, or simply offer a free product as the promotion. Limit the promotions to customers who meet certain product purchase requirements, order total minimums, etc.
A few of the many possible set-ups include: Buy 5 or more of a specific product, get one (or a different product) free, Purchase $100 or more and receive 15% off your order total, Buy any 10 items and receive 25% off a particular product line, or $5 off any order.
Unlike coupons or other discounts, these "promotions" consist of unique key codes that the customer can enter during checkout. You specify how many times a key code can be redeemed, as well as an expiration date. You can also configure the complexity of the key code, which is based on the promotion's code followed by a random string. For example, a key code with 5 letters and 1 digit might look like PROMO-DJE9XY. All key codes generated are tested to ensure uniqueness, and are automatically exported to a text file. You may also generate additional key codes for a promotion at any time, setting a new expiration date if necessary.
Mailing out 5,000 catalogs? Simply generate 5,000 unique promotion key codes and provide the file to your printer to be included on the mailing labels -- reward your customers while getting feedback on just how effective that catalog was. Going to a trade show? Put promotional codes on your literature or business cards. An ideal solution for stores looking to enhance their marketing strategy.
Sort your shipping methods by cost, module name, or method name. Offer a free shipping option when any one of several parameters are met. Use the default layout within the existing user interface or a template with tokens which allows you to customize the method selection table. Select list or radio button group can be used to display the available methods. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: <- Sort shipping methods in the order you want them - Template with tokens allows methods as select list or radio buttons - Country configurable template header - Default layout for those who do not have skills with HTML and tokens - Free shipping option based on order subtotal - Free shipping option based on number of products - Free shipping option based on weight of the order - Free shipping option can be limited to specific availability or price groups - Free shipping option can be limited to specific location - Free shipping option can be related to specific products - Label for free shipping is configurable - Configurable default message if no options are calculated - When only one option, list is replaced with a single line display - Can hide or display shipping methods by ship to country location - Can have a different configurable message on the order payment and invoice screens and the notification emails for each shipping method using tokens
Feature Details. Sort your shipping methods by cost, module name, or method name. This Miva Merchant module can be used in conjunction with shipping modules which dynamically calculate cost, such as the UPS modules or the various World, State, or ZIP Code Zone modules.
The free shipping option can be implemented when the subtotal of the order or the number of products in the order exceeds the thresholds you establish in admin. Or you can allow free shipping when the weight of the order is less than your specified threshold. You also have theoption to give free shipping to all members of one or more designated availability groups or price groups. You can further configure the free shipping option by limiting it to specific countries (USA can be all states or just the contiguous states). You can also remove the free shipping option if certain products are ordered. It also has free shipping override, ie if every product in the basket is in your list of free shipping codes, then shipping is free no matter what the other parameters are set to. You definewhat the free shipping label displays, e.g. Free Ground Shipping.
The module also provides a default message if there are no shipping methods which can be calculated. This message replaces the default message in Merchant. While you can leave it as Unable to calculate shipping methods, you can change that to be more customer friendly, e.g. We will contact you to adjust shipping costs or To be determined.
Easily use the default layout within the existing user interface or a template with tokens which allows you to customize the method selection table. With the template you can replace the select list with a radio button group. You can also add a Select One option in the select list layout. When only one shipping method exists with the order, the list of methods is replaced with a single line display and no selection is required. The method value is passed as a hidden input to the next screen. The template can have a header section which is configurable for every different country or group of countries.
You can hide or limit the shipping methods based on ship to country. Hence, you can designate certain shipping methods for domestic and others for international shipping. For US, you can even designate the continental US; excluding Alaska and Hawaii from the domestic shipping methods. No need to buy a separate module to hide certain shipping methods from international shipping.
Each method can have a different configurable message (text or html) which is displayed usingtokens. This message can be displayed on the order payment screen (the screen after shippingmethod is selected) and on the invoice screen. It can also be in the customer and merchant notification emails if they can implement module tokens in the format %module|sortship|html_message%. This eliminates the need to install a separate, custom module for checkout messages or rely on theshipping module to have the message capability (many do not have it).
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.

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.
Offer your customers incentives like Free Shipping or Shipping Discounts on specific products. This is a great way for you to promote and provide incentive to buy high ticket items or featured products!
The module allows you to specify which products should be available for Free Shipping and which Shipping Method free shipping applies to, such as UPS Ground. When your customers place an order for one or more products with Free Shipping and select the appropriate shipping method, in our example UPS Ground, the entire cost of shipping will be discounted.
If the customer’s order contains products with Free Shipping in addition to products without Free Shipping then a Shipping Discount for each Free Shipping product will be applied to their order as specified for each product. This allows you to still offer your customers an incentive to purchase featured products while not having to offer them free shipping on their entire order.
Additionally, if your customer places an order for products with Free Shipping but chooses a shipping method other than the one specified for Free Shipping (i.e. UPS Ground) they will still receive a Shipping Discount towards their order. This is a great way to offer incentive to customers who also want to receive their order faster or live outside of the specified shipping method’s area.
Method of discounting
The module works by dynamically excluding each product which is configured for free shipping from the customer’s basket weight at checkout. This effectively reduces the total weight of the basket and the shipping cost returned from any weight based shipping module such as those for UPS, USPS, FedEx, as well as other generic modules that calculate shipping cost based on weight
This dynamic exclusion can be limited to only occur when the customer selects a specific shipping method such as UPS Ground. Additionally, only products that have free shipping enabled will be excluded from the basket weight, allowing

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.

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

Provide a discount based on purchasing X group of products and discount percentage off of Y group of products. Configure a group of X products assigned by category and/or products list required to trigger a discount. The discount percentage is then calculated from a second group of Y products that can also be assigned by category and/or product list. The discount amount displays on the payment info checkout page. Additional configuration options include exclusion of specific products from both X and Y groups of products, discount description and discount percentage. This module is ideal for promoting a primary group/department of products for purchase and providing a discount on a secondary group/department of products.
QwkPatch protects merchants against various Miva Merchant bugs, such as duplicate order numbers, and exploits and validation limitations, such as hackers being able to checkout without paying, by doing additional system checks at various points during the shoppers visit in the store.
QwkPatch has a fully configurable error screen which accepts a token for display of the specific configurable error message returned when a given patch is triggered. For 4.x the error screen even automatically includes the normal page wrap, such as the global header, footer, and navigation for whatever user interface module you have installed.
Current QwkPatch Release: 2.00
Miva Merchant Compatibility: 2.22 - 4.22
QwkPatch has been extensively tested on Miva Merchant versions 2.25, 3.02, 4.12, 4.13, and 4.22. QwkPatch should work on all versions above 2.2 baring possible unknown bugs in various versions of Miva Merchant. On 2.x versions below 2.2 some of the patches may still work, but due to API limitations, and general instability with Miva Merchant versions below 2.2 we can't support use of the software on versions below 2.2. So if you want to try it, you do so at your own risk.
Miva Merchant 1.x can't use the software at all, because the API simply doesn't support it. So if you have a Miva Merchant 1.x store you want protected, you would have to have custom modifications done.
QwkPatch 2.00 Patch List
Patch 1 - Payment Module Installed Check This patch does a check to make sure the payment method submitted for payment authorization is for a valid module installed in the store. Without this patch it is possible under certain circumstances for shoppers to bypass the need to enter in any payment information such as a credit card number, and skip right to the invoice. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something that wasn't paid for. Also if you do any sort of electronic fulfillment, such as selling software, images, etc. then shoppers using this exploit would get the products before you even noticed there was a problem. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 2 - Add To Basket Availability Group Check This patch stops shoppers from being able to add an item to their basket that is part of an availability group they don't belong to. Without this patch it is possible for a shopper to add such an item to the basket, even if they haven't created a customer account, much less been assigned to the availability group.
Patch 3 - Upsale Item Manual Basket Add Check This patch stops shoppers from manually adding an upsale item to their basket. If you use upsale you probably have worked hard to make sure certain free, or steeply discounted items are only presented to the shopper during checkout when they have certain items in their basket, and/or have met certain minimum purchase requirements. Without this patch a shopper can modify the url to manually add an upsale item to their basket. When doing so they can even get an item that was discounted to $0.00 which should have only been available with the purchase of specific expensive other items. If the free upsale item is the only thing they add to their basket they can even bypass the shipping, tax, and payment options and jump straight to the invoice.
Patch 4 - Shipping Module Installed Check This patch does a check to make sure the shipping method submitted is for a valid module installed in the store. Without this patch it is possible for shoppers to bypass the shipping calculations and not pay any shipping charges on the order. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something that didn't have the shipping charges paid for. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 5 - Shipping Charge Check This patch makes sure a shipping charge was actually added to the basket charges table. It is okay if the charge was set at a zero price because you offer free shipping under certain circumstances, but this patch makes sure a shipping module actually made that decision and added a zero charge, rather than there being no charge in the table. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something that didn't have the shipping charges paid for. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 6 - Tax Charge Check This patch makes sure a tax charge was actually added to the basket charges table. It is okay if the charge was set at a zero price because no tax was required based on your tax module configurations, but his patch makes sure your tax module actually made that decision and added a zero charge, rather than there being no charge in the table. Without the patch you must therefore be very careful to manually cross reference all your orders to make sure you don't ship something which you didn't collect the proper taxes on. This patch is not required if you are using Miva Merchant 4.16 or higher.
Patch 7 - Affiliate Status Check This patch stops affiliates from changing their status, or new affiliates from creating their account with a status of their choice. Without this patch it is posisble for affiliates that have not been approved yet, to change their status so that they are approved, or for new affiliates to set their initial status as approved. This patch is meaningless if you are using a version of Miva Merchant lower than 4.x.
Patch 8 - Duplicate Order ID Check This patch helps prevent duplicate order numbers from being added to the orders database. Without this patch there are various circumstances that can cause duplicate order numbers to get entered into the orders database. To be clear, this patch doesn't stop duplicate order ids from being issued, nor does it prevent the automatic recovery of order numbers to the orphans database, what it does is generates a new order id for the about to be created order if the order id exists in the orders database.

Have you ever wondered why you're not getting massive hits on your Miva Merchant Store when you have the best prices on the Internet? Ever searched the internet through a search engine only to find that some ancient, inefficient and cumbersome old site is getting all the hits that you deserve?
Well now its time to get serious, its time to get even... its time to bring in the Search Engine KILLER.
THE PROBLEM merchant.mv?thisandthat
The problem with Miva Merchant and other database driven stores is that the technology used to access and display the product information is NOT search engine friendly.. In fact, most search engines will ignore EVERY PAGE of your eStore!
Someone somewhere made the decision that URLs with arguments, information passed long with the URL eg. file.mv?argument1&argument2 etc, indicates that the page isn't worth indexing, but these arguments are essential to any database driven store. Some search engines even refuse to index pages that are .mv! (Northern Light for one).
As a result, your state of the art Miva Merchant Store is missing out on major search engine exposure, and your competitors lousy mall which they hand create using FrontPage97 is getting all the hits.. JUST BECAUSE EVERY PAGE IS A STATIC HTML PAGE.
In an ideal world, what you need is the sophistication of your Miva Merchant Mall and the search engine pulling power of a good old HTML site too.
THE SOLUTION Now YOU can live in that ideal world!
Search Engine Killer (or SEK for short) is perhaps the most significant software release for Merchant stores EVER!
While it adds NOTHING to the functionality of Merchant, it wages war on search engines - those sites who may well decide how much money you make next month.
It is a sophisticated complementary product which runs seperately from Merchant, but knows everything about your store!
The mirror site is:
100% HTML
Designed with the Search Engine in mind using the Title tag, Meta Tags, text placement, IMG ALT attributes and more to get you the best possible search engine ranking.
automatically generates HTML pages from the information stored within Merchant:
- an index.html page for submition to search engines with a link to every other generated page - an html page for each category and subcategory, eg. your_category_code.html which lists every product and links to.. - an html page for each product
product pictures througout! The SEK Mirror references the URL of the product images already online in your real merchant store!
multiple links on every html page to both the SEK Mirror pages (so that the search engines find and index every single page) and directly to your Merchant Mall..
dynamic referencing technology is used so that the links back to your Miva Merchant Mall are context sensitive. eg. SEK Mirror product pages click straight through to the appropriate BUY ONE page in your real Merchant Store!
remembers your previous preferences to allow ultra-fast regeneration after significant changes to your mall
SAME NAMING CONVENTIONS AS SEK1
the html files generated are named using the Merchant Category and Product codes you have specified in Merchnat so that even after a new mirror is generated the Search Engines find previously indexed files.
Even if search engines DID spider every page of your Merchant Store, there is NO WAY that it would get the same high rankings. Your SEK Mirrors site is built from the ground up with search engines in mind by a developer with many years of experience in site promotion.
and here is the trick..
EVERY PAGE IS DESIGNED TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT IS YOUR STORE WHEN IT IS REALLY JUST A TEASER PAGE
What will it mean to your business to be able to submit a single html page to search engines and have their spider catalog every category and product you have?
How would you like to be able to strengthen your position by submitting an html page for each category that can also be submitted seperately?
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.
