The Returns Processing module provides an integrated Returns Processing system for your Miva Merchant store. It provides your customers a contact form where the customer can request a return and then track the progress of that return. Within the Miva Merchant admin, the storeowner can approve or decline a return. For approved returns an RMA number is generated, the returned products are tracked, and the type of credit issued to the customer can be recorded. All of this tracking information for returns requests is provided to the customer in a Return History screen that can be viewed while logged into the store.
Key Benefits
Customer Benefits:
- “Return Request” web page for customers to request returns
- Customer chooses from a drop down list the order number for which the return is requested.
- Customer selects the products in the order for which the return is requested.
- Customer chooses from a drop down list the reason for the return and can also add comments/message for the storeowner
- “Return History” web page for customers to track return process
- Customer can return to the storefront to review all progress with the return. (Customer must have an account to access this information)
Storeowner Benefits:- Return Request and Return Request History screens are fully customizable with templates when using Dynamic Templates (MMUI-based stores) or the OpenUI SuperMod (OpenUI-based stores)
- Store owner receives an email when a new Return Request is initiated by a customer
- Store owner can approve or disapprove return requests
- Auto-approval available based on reason for return

- Storeowner can edit the RMA number so that it matches internal systems
- Storeowner can change and edit the items from the order that are included in the RMA ticket. The system tracks the return items from other RMA numbers, ensuring customers do not receive a refund on the same item more than once.
- Storeowner checks off items in the RMA as they arrive back at the store
- Storeowner can change the dollar amount of refund/credit for the return
- RMA automatically closes when all items have been checked off as received
- Once the RMA is closed, the storeowner chooses the type of credit used to reimburse the customer for the returned items from a drop down list.
When used with the Copernicus CustCredit module, the drop down list includes CustCredit as an option for reimbursement. When chosen, store credit is automatically applied to the customer’s account for the amount of the closed RMA.

Membership SuperMod for Discounts Sales and Membership RewardsThe Membership SuperMod allows you to create Membership Groups in Miva Merchant giving the store owner ways to reward customers through Customer Appreciation Discounts, Sales and Points that can be redeemed for a discount. The storeowner can make various Membership Groups allowing the owner to offer different levels of Membership (and its benefits) depending on the “level of loyalty” of the customer. Customers can be automatically moved from one Membership Group to the next as their purchasing increases. The Membership SuperMod also provides facilities to create special time-based sales for all shoppers in the store. Key Benefits:- User Interface Independent: Utilizes standard features of Miva Merchant for setting discounts and availability. Can be used with MMUI and OpenUI.
- Full automatic control of all Price and Availability Group customer assignments. Membership Groups define a set of price and availability groups that are automatically applied to all members of the Membership Group.
- Membership Groups can have a set beginning date, expiration date or specific duration
- Configurable to display discounts as a price reduction in the basket and checkout screens so customer is aware of their savings
- Basket price adjustments are performed when a user logs in; thus allowing the customer to take advantage of their membership even if they log in after shopping.
- Membership and Sales Features:
- Time-duration based sales: The store administrator can configure special “Automatic” membership groups that apply to every customer immediately upon login. This is useful for creating special sales periods where all shoppers receive a discount on any or all products in the store
- Membership Rewards Program: Provide multiple levels of discounts to customers based on their purchase history. Memberships into discount (price) groups can occur by point accumulation, purchase accumulation, or points spent.
- Points Redemption Program: Provide a points redemption program where customers accumulate points based on purchase history, then can receive discounts in the store by redeeming points for discounts.
- Exclusive Membership Groups: The storeowner can create membership groups that remove the customer from all other groups as they enter an exclusive group.
- Automatic entry into membership groups based on:
- Purchase of a specific product
- Prior Price or Availability Group membership
- Entering Membership Code into the customer account
- Automatic removal from membership groups based on:
- Allowed duration of a membership
- Expiration date of a membership
- Entry into an exclusive group
- Manual expiration by administrator
Customer benefits: - Receive pre-established discounts at checkout when part of a Membership Group
- Accumulate points when making purchases
- Redeem accumulated points when making purchases
- Receive pre-established discounts and earn/use points even if login to Membership Group during a shopping session
- Pay with dollars (in addition to points) if there are not enough points accumulated to cover the cost of the entire order
- Storeowner has complete control when creating Membership Groups
- Optionally create a “Signup Fee” for the Membership Group
- Limit the duration of a Membership Group (in days) – great for running sales!
- Manually adjust the number of points in a customer record
- Allow or disallow points to be used to pay for tax or shipping
- Include Price and Availability Groups in the Membership Group
- Track total purchases, discounts, points earned and points spent by customer
- Add customers to a group and individually specify their end date within the Membership Group
- Determine thresholds for automatic inclusion of a customer in a Membership Group
Product Requirements:
The major features of the Membership SuperMod are provided through the standard Miva Merchant API. Thus, this module can be used in any Miva Merchant 4.x store. However, in order to redeem points at checkout and fully customize the module display and layout features, you must be using a UI module that provides templates or tokens- either OpenUI or MMUI with the Copernicus DynamicTemplate Engine. OpenUI users who also have the OpenUI SuperMod can perform additional customizations that are not available when just using OpenUI. - Uncompiled Miva Merchant 4.00-4.13:
- OpenUI 4.9+ based stores
- MMUI based stores
- Miva Merchant 4.14+
- OpenUI 4.9+ based stores
- MMUI based stores
When the Membership SuperMod is used with Dynamic Templates for MMUI-based stores or with the OpenUI SuperMod for OpenUI-based stores, the storeowner can take advantage of the templates and tokens available in these modules thus allowing the storeowner to tailor the module output to his specific needs.[Marketing Brief] [Documentation] Price: $149.95 Upgrade Cost: $75

Show customers the actual price they will pay! Customers order more, and more frequently when its easy for them to know what the price of a product is going to be. Dynamic Attribute Pricing will do just that, reqardless of how your pricing is assigned. Dynamic Attribute Pricing shows your customers to total price of the product they want to order, even when that product's attributes and options add to or subtract from the initial price. This module is compatible with OpenUI or Viking Coder's Category Page Templates and Product Page Templates. With OpenUI, a "Total Price: " display appears above the add quantity to basket button. With VikingCoder's Templates, you have place the Total Price: token and add to basket button anywhere you want in the templates. The displayed total changes with option selections that have an associate price increase (decrease) and with the quantity select. With either OpenUI or Template, the module will automatically add any additional price associated with the option, to the display of the option. For example:
Some Option ($2.00). To control the quantity a customer can order, the module presents a tab in the Add/Edit Product screen. This tab shows the following options: For example, if you entered 3,6,9,12,15,18, etc, the customer could only order in multiples of 3. Will also allow image swapping with CPT and PPT! You can display a larger image for attributes where the product image is by including name="PRODImage" with your product image code. Price: $89.99 Upgrade Cost: $0

Your client can login and get the price you've negotiated or assigned to them. You can have unlimited amount of price lists.
EXAMPLE: Client A can get Product A for $99.95. Client B can get Product A for $109.95 while the customer that hasn'tnegotiated with you and logs in, or not, gets the default price of Product A at $129.95.
Requirements: compiled Merchant 4/CBS Dynamic Templates/ftp access to your stores mivadata folder. Tokens for use in DT are explained in the Tokens_readme.txt available in the distribution.
Pre-Documentation Benefits of the module: Your client can login and get the price you've negotiated or assigned to them. You can have unlimited amount of price lists. In other words: Client A can get Product A for $99.95. Client B can get Product A for $109.95 while the customer that hasn't negotiated with you and logs in, or not, gets the default price of Product A at $129.95. How module works: Admin: During install, the module creates example files, customer.dat and pricelist.dat. The Admin or store operator edits these files and places them back in the IDS_WHOLESALE folder -- probably via FTP. You add Customer logins and a price list filename to the customer.dat file. The customer.dat filename is assigned in the System admin. Also, the filename doesn't have to be customer.dat. On Linux/Unix(and maybe some Winserver configs), you will need to beware of case in the filenames. We suggest to keep lowercase filenames. The pricelist.dat is the referenced file that stores the prices of any or all the products available to this list. There can be more than one list -- as many as you need. The customer.dat points the specific user to a a specific list. The list stores specific prices to specific products.There is no calculation in terms of percentages, etc. End User: When your customer/client logs in, they will see the product price display based on the assigned list. If the user is in the customer.dat file with an assigned pricelist filename, product price will be from the price list instead of the MM product database. If a product is NOT in the assigned list, the products displayed price will be the default from the stores product database. If the user isn't in your customer.dat, they will only see default pricing from the stores products database. Price: $144.95 Upgrade Cost: $0

The CheckOut SuperMod allows your customers to determine the shipping method for each individual item in a single order and then the appropriate shipping and tax calculations are made to determine the total shipping amount for the entire order. Items in an order that are using the same shipping method are grouped to properly calculate the shipping price for the group of items. Now your customers can check out of your store with multiple shipping methods or shipping addresses* in the same order and the shipping is calculated properly.
Key Benefits Include:
- Advanced Shipping Screen that gives customers the ability to select a different shipping method for every item in the order
- When the Advanced Shipping Screen is used, the items in the order are internally grouped by shipping method so that items using the same shipping method are calculated and displayed together
- Customer can choose to go to Advanced Shipping Screen to ship every item via a separate shipping method or can choose to not go to the Advanced Shipping Screen and instead ship everything in the order using the same shipping method
- Configurable title for the link to the Advanced Shipping Screen from the payment/shipping selection checkout screen.
- Shipping charges from the Advanced Shipping Screen can be viewed on further checkout screens including the Screen Invoice and emailed invoice
- Return to shopping after having used the Advanced Shipping Screen and the settings are remembered for checkout and shopper is automatically taken to the Advanced Shipping Screen upon checkout
- Ability to split line items of multiple-quantity products into individual line-items for different option selections including shipping and address* selections.
- Works with existing third-party shipping modules
- Integrates and shares data with the Shipping SuperMod and Address SuperMod from Copernicus giving you even more functionality!
- When used with the Address SuperMod, each item in the order can be shipped to a different address. Upon checkout, items to common addresses using common shipping methods are grouped together, and proper shipping charges are applied to each shipment. Further, items are then grouped by address for proper tax calculations to each address in the order.
- Extra functionality for users of the OpenUI SuperMod – Special Virtual Modules and tokens are provided for advanced control over checkout displays. Bonus Virtual Module provides the ability to “Split Line Items” in the basket (normally only appears on advanced shipping screen).
Note: Multiple address selections are only available when used with the Address SuperMod.
For complete control of the checkout process the Address SuperMod™, CheckOut SuperMod™, and Shipping SuperMod™ all work together. Each item in the basket can then be shipped to a different address using a different shipping method. Shipping methods available to each address can be filtered based upon the products in the basket, the destination, etc., and shipping and tax for each shipment is calculated individually.
Product Requirements:
Uncompiled Miva Merchant v4.00-4.13 - OpenUI required.
Compiled Miva Merchant v4.14+ - Dynamic Templates for MMUI or OpenUI required.
Please Note - The CheckOut SuperMod significantly alters the checkout process of your store. The CheckOut SuperMod takes the checkout process beyond that allowed by Miva Merchant, which is why the module allows your customers to checkout of your storefront with multiple shipping methods and/or to multiple addresses (when used with the Address SuperMod) in a single order. Please be sure to test-drive this module on Miva Mia with any other third-party modules you have installed. To get a free distribution of the CheckOut SuperMod for use on Miva Mia, just fill out a Trial Request Form at http://www.copernicusllc.com/support/free/trial.

Ultimate Feed Generator is a tool for generating product feeds, sitemaps, and more. It can be used to create feeds for:
- Shopping Portals: Shopzilla, NexTag, Shopping.com, PriceGrabber, and more
- Search engine sitemaps: Google XML Sitemaps, Yahoo Search Submit, etc
- HTML Store Maps: page(s) on your own site that link to every (or selected) product and category
Ultimate Feed Generator comes with 5 pre-defined feeds: Google Sitemaps, Froogle, PriceGrabber, Yahoo Site Submit, and an HTML site map. You can create as many new feeds, for as many purposes as you like, through the simply yet powerful interface. In addition, we'll be providing new feed templates on our website in the near future, free for licensed users.
The module provides tokens to display dynamic product and category data, such as name, price, description, weight, and other database fields. It also fully supports OpenTokens for users of OpenUI (although OpenUI is not required to use Ultimate Feed Generator). Feeds can be generated individually, or you can select multiple feeds and run them at once. (Check them all off and go to lunch while it processes, for instance.)
Fully supports OpenTokens, and special link styles (such as Search Friendly Links and others) can be built using tokens.
"If you haven't had a chance to use this yet I think you'll be blown away. It's truly the Swiss Army Knife of feed/export modules." -Marvin Sanders, WineBuys.com
Note: A version of Ultimate Feed Generator for Miva Merchant 5 should be available in February 2006.

Provides tokens and templates formatting for some of the "other" pages of Merchant. You can create templates and assign them to some of the pages of Merchant (currently the module supports template assignment to BASK (basket page), PLST (product listing), LOGN (customer login), and Missing Attributes), Upsell, Search, etc. In addition, you can create a template for you own page, create a "screen" variable for it and link to it directly. The category and product pages are still best handled by the Category Page Templates and Product Page Templates module, the storefront by the Storefront Template Module, and the search page by the Search Manager) The templates are created and modified exactly like the templates in the other template modules. However since they are assigned to screens rather than products or categories, that part is a bit different. The way Merchant works is that most of the pages are assigned "identifiers" which Merchant uses to determine what page is to be generated. For example, if the variable Screen is set to BASK, Merchant knows that it needs to display the basket screen. The module intercepts that process to use templates to display the screen instead of Merchant's default screen. This is done by assigning templates to the identifier. The module comes pre-configured with a number of different templates which you can assign to the screens of Merchant. For example, the "Basket Page" template can be assigned to the "BASK" screen to display the basket screen using that template. NOTE REGARDING COMPATIBILITY: This module has the same compatibility issues with other modules as the original template modules. This module totally replaces the portion of the OpenUI (or MMUI if you are using it) that displays the pages it intercepts and is not compatible with any other module which needs to hook into that page unless the developer of that module has specifically made their module compatible. And given that this module is so new, very few modules are completely compatible with it. 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. NOTE/WARNING: although there are a number of people successfully using this module, given the large number of tokens and attempts to handle many pages of Merchant you can expect bugs to arise and for the module to be missing functionality. I'll work diligently to fix them but please don't purchase this module if you can't accept the possibility of some issue with the module keeping you from accomplishing what you're after. Similarly, given the current state of the documentation (there is no documentation on the available tokens but most of them are present in the pre-configured templates) if you're not familiar with the other template modules and the use of tokens in templates, you might want to wait until the documentation is completed. 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). Price: $54.95 Upgrade Cost: $0

Full control of the look of your category pages! The module lets you configure the category page html to your liking. It provides an interface for you to enter the specific HTML that you want to use to display the product listing for the category. You create templates which you can then assign to selected categories. The module comes with 4 preinstalled templates but you can add as many as you want. One of the preinstalled template provides for a category display that lets you add all of the listed products to your basket with the click of a single button. Another provides for the display of multiple products in rows across the page instead of vertically. In your templates, you can use tokens to represent the normal Merchant product and category fields. For example, you can use the token %prodname% to represent where you want the product's name to be displayed. Making changes like removing the "buy one now" button is as simple as tweaking the HTML used to display the page. One of the preinstalled templates is identical to the standard Merchant category display and serves as a good starting point for those little tweaks you have always been wanting to make. The module also permits you to copy existing templates when you are creating a new template. You can use strike-thru pricing with this module too! Note about compatibility with other modules: This module totally replaces the portion of the OpenUI (or MMUI if you are using it) that displays the Category page and is not compatible with any other module which modifies the category 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. All VikingCoders.com's modules are compatible with this module (ie. there are tokens that can be used to display their information on the category 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). Version 3.x Available Price: $44.95 Upgrade Cost: $14

The Category Manager module allows you to have multiple category templates in a single store. You can have a different template for every category in your store if you want. The templates use the standard store morph technology template editor in MIVA Merchant 5. While basic knowledge of how to edit MIVA Merchant 5 templates is required, there are two example templates provided in addition to the built in ctgy page template. Getting started is not that difficult. Don't miss our introductory price of this versatile module.
Features:
- Multiple category templates in a single store
- One or more categories can be assigned to use a specific template
- Default template is used for categories which do not have a custom template assigned
- Custom pagination in addition to the default Previous and Next buttons
- Can limit products displayed per page to a specific number for each template or can list all on one page
- Customer can sort products within the category in real time dynamically
- Breadcrumb navigation included
- Sub-category navigation included
|
Feature Details.
Multiple page templates. Using the built-in store morph technology, you can edit the page templates just like the built-in page templates, including recall, notes, and indexing of previous versions. Include typical render tokens on the custom category pages from other 3rd party modules (sold separately) which you have in your store, e.g. rate this, wait list, best seller, and others.
Easy assignment of categories to templates. Once you create the template you can assign one or more categories to it. This can be done from the Category Edit screen or if you are using the Emporium Plus Category Import module (sold separately), you can import the template assignment right along with importing new categories into the store. No need to import the categories with one module and then use a separate module to assign them to templates.
Default page for unassigned categories. The default ctgy page template is used for all categories which have not been assigned to a specific custom template. This makes processing more efficient as the Category Manager runs a quick lookup to determine if it needs to run certain more complex processing routines, like advanced pagination.
Advanced page navigation. Several pagination variables are available to write detailed page navigation links. You can have the typical 1 2 3 4 etc. Or you can break up long lines with arrows, dots, dashes, etc to fill in a gap. You can also display the page number of the total number of pages. This pagination is similar to that used in the Emporium Plus Power Search module for Merchant 5. As a point of reference for the customer, you can even include how many products are listed in the category.
Flexible pagination. Each category template can have a different setting for the number of products to display on a page. Initially, the customer will see the number you set. However, customers using broadband may want to see all the product in a category on a single page, so there is an option to list all.
On-the-fly sorting. The products are initially displayed in the sort order which the store owner has previously setup in the normal admin sorting. The customer can then change the sort order based on their desires. Available sort fields are name, code, price, date items were added to the store, or the default store setup. They can be sorted ascending or descending.
Breadcrunb navigation. The module includes optional breadcrumb navigation. An array is created which holds the current category name and its parents up to the top level category. With standard MIVA Merchant template code, you can create a quick link to higher categories like Home > Software > Developer Bundles
Sub-category navigation. You can display the sub-categories of a parent category on the category page, e.g. below the parent category's name. The array can be displayed like you want it using standard MIVA Merchant template code.
We cannot link to our demo stores from MivaCentral so if you'd like to see a couple of the live pages demonstrating single or multiple column layout of products, please contact us for links. Those pages demonstrate the variable layout of products, breadcrumb navigation, on-the-fly sorting, and sub-category navigation.
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 NetPush Advanced Inventory Module allows Miva Merchant store owners to track inventory within Miva Merchant all the way down to the attribute/option level. The module has numerous configuration settings that should allow the admin to display and track any simple or complex inventory configuration. Inventory levels are only adjusted at checkout time so there is no need to worry about old baskets causing inventory problems. The module comes with an import and export module that allows administrators to easily update inventory levels by using csv files. We suggest using template modules like Viking Coder's Product Templates and
Category Templates if you want better control of the look and feel of your pages with regards to inventory. This will allow you to use tokens for display. Otherwise, you will have to settle for built in hook point displays that are built into the module and are configurable through the administration area. The Advanced Inventory Module will send email when stock goes below certain configurable low stock level and can disable products when stock goes below the out of stock level. Administrators can also customize every message shown to the user. Fine grain customizations are made easy because the module allows product level configuration settings the ability to override global inventory configuration settings. This allows Miva Merchant Administrators the ability to customize inventory configurations for every product, if he or she wishes.
Notes: - OpenUI Tokens
This module can be used with OUI OpenTokens. To use the module with Viking Coders template modules, see the OpenToken instructions and examples in the documentation on the NetPush.com site.
- Product Upsell
This module does not show stock information on the product upsell screens at this time. Stock is still tracked in the basket and checkout, but no current stock level is shown on the upsell screens during checkout unless you are using alternatives like tokens in templates.
- Basket Redirect and Error Message
The user is automatically redirected to the basket screen if he or she adds items to the basket that makes the product go out of stock or if the product is already out of stock. The error message is shown above the basket screen using a hook point in the Open UI. The message is configurable in the admin area.
- Checkout Screen Error
If configuration is setup to do so, the module will block a user from checking out if their basket has an item that is out of stock. This message is shown automatically at the top of the screen. The message is configurable in the admin area.
- Pipes ( | )
Product codes, attribute codes, and option codes must not contain the pipe character. NetPush Advanced Inventory uses the pipe to delimit for lookups. Pipes in your codes will cause the module not to work correctly.
Requirements: - Open UI 4.723+
This module requires that you have OpenUI installed in your store. The module uses hook points in the OpenUI. You must have OpenUI version 4.723 or higher if you plan to use the OpenToken functionality available in this module. Please see the OpenUIsite for information about latest versions and bug fixes.
- Miva Empressa 3.96+
This module requires that you have Miva Empressa 3.96 or higher. The module uses functionality that is only available in newer versions of the Empressa Engine. Miva regularly releases new versions of Miva Empressa and the Virtual Machine to add new functionality and fix bugs. If you are on an older version, consider contacting your hosting company. You can find the Miva Empressa version at the top left hand of your Store Administrator when you first login. It should show your Miva Merchant version and your Miva Empressa version.
- Miva Merchant 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x
This module should work with most versions of Miva Merchant. In order to use the deactivate product option, you must be on version 3.0+. All testing and development was done on versions 4.13+.
Global Configuration Screen All inventory settings will use the global configuration settings found in the Miva Merchant Administration area under Stores > Your Store > System Extension Configuration > NetPush Advanced Inventory. One may override these settings for products (see product level settings below). Each product must also be manually turned on before tracking starts. See product settings below.
Configuration Settings
- Use NetPush Inventory
You must set this to "Yes" if you want the module to be turned on. If this is set to "No", the module will not do anything.
- Amount considered out of stock
Usually this would be 0, but it can be set to any number, including negative numbers. Once the stock level reaches this number, it will be considered out of stock.
- Deactivate when product level is out of stock
In Miva Merchant versions that support it, the module will turn the Active flag for a product to off, if the product reaches the out of stock level. This only works on the product level, not for the attribute/option level.
- Allow purchase even after out of stock
Turning this on will allow customers to purchase products even after they go below the out of stock level. This could be a backorder situation.
- Automatically remove from basket
When a user adds products to the basket, the products will be removed if it makes the inventory go below the out of stock level and the admin is not allowing purchases when products are out of stock. Please take note that this option could cause problems if other modules are installed that also act on the basket.
- Send Low Inventory Notices
Turn this on to receive email warnings when inventory goes below the low inventory level.
- Amount considered low
The level that is considered low. Use this setting to trigger emails that will warn you when inventory is hitting a low level.
- Low Email To Address
Set this to the email address of the person who should be receiving emails when stock is at a low level.
- Low Email From Address
Set this to the email address that should be set as the from address in low stock emails.
- Low Email Subject
The subject of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
- Low Email Body
This is the body of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
- Automatically change stock levels
Turn this on if you want the system to subtract stock when a user purchases. If this is set to "No", the system will not update stock levels.
- Show out of stock messages
Turn this on to show out of stock messages on the product page when stock goes below the out of stock level.
- Show in stock messages
Turn this on to show how much stock is left on the product page.
Out of Stock Messages* - Product Level
This message is shown to the user on the product page below the shipping weight.
- Attribute Level - Checkbox
This message is shown to the user on the product page next to a checkbox option.
- Attribute Level - Radio Buttons
This message is shown to the user on the product page next to each radio button option.

- Attribute Level - Radio Buttons
This message is shown to the user on the product page next to each radio button option.
- Attribute Level - Select Box
This message is shown inside of the drop down on a select box. HTML should not be used here.
Other Messages* - Out of Stock - Basket Line Marker
This helps the user to see which products have gone out of stock when looking at the basket. A red asterisks may be a good indicator for the user.
- Out of Stock - Basket
This message is shown to the user above the basket when a product has gone out of stock when adding, updating, or looking at the basket. Products can go out of stock at anytime, even after a user adds it to their basket. This is because stock levels only change after checkout.
- Out of Stock - Checkout
This message is similar to the out of stock basket message. It is shown on the payment screen during checkout. This should be considered one final inventory check before allowing the user to purchase.
* Token Replacement
This module has a few built in tokens for messages that allow you to give yourself and the user more detailed information. Some of the tokens below can only be used on certain screens, or in emails.
%%stock%% - Displays the current stock level. (1,2,3)
%%basket_quantity%% - Displays the amount in the basket and is unlikely to be used. (1,2)
%%available%% - Displays the amount of stock left before hitting the out of stock level. (1,2,3)

If this is set to "Yes" the configurations settings will be taken from the individual product screen instead of from the Global configuration settings found under under system extension configuration.

Setting Product Inventory Levels
 The administrator can set product inventory levels by going to the product page within the Miva Merchant admin area and clicking on NetPush Advanced Inventory. This is the same screen as the product level configuration. Product inventory levels are shown below the configuration area. To add new inventory, use the yellow add button. To edit inventory, click white add button next to the inventory entry.
The module checks inventory by looking at a unique combination of Product Code, Attribute Code, and Option Code. When entering stock levels, you enter the codes separated by a pipe. For example, shirt1|color|red, where shirt1 is the product code, color is the attribute code, and red is the option code. If you do not set an inventory level for an existing product attribute combination, no tracking is done. Setting a stock level of -9999 has the same effect. Inventory at a product level
You may choose to only track inventory at a product level in combination with or not at an attribute level. To enter a stock level for a product, simply use prodcode||. This tells the system that you are tracking the product code, but not the attributes or options by leaving them blank. Using -9999 for a stock level will temporarily turn inventory tracking off. Inventory at the attribute level (checkbox, select box, radio buttons)
Checkbox - prodcode|attrcode|(the last field should be left blank, as checkboxes have no options)
Select Box and Radio Buttons - prodcode|attrcode|optcodeAll 3 are required and must be unique, even if you
