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.


1. PayPal Payment Acceptance Weiland / Miva Central

The purpose of this module is to allow customers to place an order at a Miva Merchant™ Storefront Development System © Miva Corp which they will then pay for using their PayPal © x.com account. This payment module is licensed per domain. No additional store licenses are required if used within the same mall. The current version works with Merchant 2.x, 3.x and 4.x.

If your PayPal account is either a "Business" or "Premier" PayPal account, this module guides the customer to the PayPal payment screens so that they do not get to the invoice screen without properly entering pay data. When the customer clicks the Pay button at the PayPal site, you can have the PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) send a silent update back to your payment history file which can be viewed in your Merchant admin:order edit screen. Unlike some other modules, if the customer does not return to Merchant, his order will still be processed and email notifications sent. When returning to your store, the invoice page will be displayed. You can also add additional instructions to inform customers what to expect at the PayPal site through the admin interface. If you are using Addendum in your store, you will need to use Addendum version 3.08 or newer when using the PayPal module. If your PayPal account is a "Personal" account, the flow for payment is a bit different. Contact me if your PayPal account is a "personal" PayPal account and I will give you the details.

Although the PayPal system is not like real time credit card processing and authorization systems, it is more like using the simple credit card validation. PayPal does the authorization using it's web accept and sends you a confirmation email. You match the Merchant notification emails with the PayPal confirmation emails. For added security, it is advisable to check the status on the PayPal web site (linked within Merchant admin). Once confirmations are verified that the money has transferred to your account, you can ship the products.

The Merchant version 2.x, 3.x and 4.x PayPal payment module can be used with both the MMUI and OpenUI look and feel. A single edit is needed if you are using the MMUI AND your PayPal account is a "Personal" account. If you have a "Business" or "Premier" PayPal account, the MMUI edit is NOT needed. An optional code edit can be also made to include the payment method in the merchant notification email. You may find it advantageous to use our Show Payment Type module instead which lists all payment methods in the email, not just PayPal. No code edits are needed if you are using the OpenUI for either the PayPal or Show Payment Type modules.

New in the compiled version is a report module. You can list orders by any time frame and specify only orders with a specific product code in them. You can also sort it by state or country according to their paypal.com account registration

This module is particularly useful for the small sized Mom and Pop store which does not want the added expense of setting up Merchant credit card accounts and having to meet minimum sales quotas. This store is a prime example, as I do not take credit cards directly. Rather you can pay for software at this store using PayPal, by signing up and debiting your credit card at PayPal. Try it out, I think you'll like it.

Additionally, it is a nice option for the big guys in that it makes online fulfillment possible for those customers who don't have credit cards but have built up an online balance through their own sales, e.g. through eBay. PayPal is the predominant method of payment at eBay. There are over 16,000,000 million PayPal accounts. Do not overlook these as potential customers at your store. Over 30,000 websites accept PayPal and are listed in the PayPal Shops at paypal.com. Can you afford not to be in that list? PayPal accounts are available to customers in the United States and many other countries around the world.

PayPal is currently giving you $5 to sign up and complete the bonus requirements. So do the math. Signup, order this $20 module and let PayPal pay $5 of the cost. How long this will last is anybody's guess, so don't wait too long.

If you are not familiar with how PayPal works, check it out. If you like it, sign up, then add this payment option to your store.

2. Paypal Web Accept Viking Coders / Miva Central

Paypal is a well-established online instant payment service. Paypal allows individuals and small businesses to avoid the expense involved in setting up and maintaining a Merchant account. (Average fees for a Merchant account seem to range around $200 in set up fees, and $15-20/month in gateway fees--with Paypal you'll only pay the transaction fees, which are about the same as most credit card processors charge.) Besides credit card transactions, Paypal is also a convenient way to send money via email, and it is widely used at sites such as eBay where it accounts for 53% of transactions.

This module permits you to use PayPal Web Accept to process payments in your Miva Merchant store. Your customers will be taken to the PayPal site to transfer the money for the purchase to your account. They will then be returned to your store's Invoice page (assuming that the transfer was successfully made. It also provides the ability to verify the transaction with PayPal's records from within admin.

Unlike most off-site payment modules (those payment modules which require your customer to leave Merchant to process the payment), this module takes advantage of advanced features offered by PayPal to assure that a record of the purchase is made in Merchant as soon as the money is transfered! In many other such modules, if something goes wrong and the customer does not return to Merchant no record is made of the order; even though the money was transfered to your account! That won't happen with this module. The customer does not need to return to the invoice screen for Merchant to make a record of the sale.

Version 2.x, 3.x Available

Price: $24.95 Upgrade Cost: $10 Upgrade Terms (If Any): N/A
Compatibility: MMUI/OpenUI Versions: 4.x, 4.14-4.16x (Available Compiled)
Other Module Compatibility: N/A

3. Paypal Subscription Payment Weiland / Emporium Plus

The purpose of this module is to allow customers to place a subscription order at a Miva Merchant (? Miva Corp) store which they will then pay for using their PayPal (? x.com) account. This module is licensed per domain. No additional store licenses are required if used within the same mall.

This module is specifically designed for subscription payments. It allows scheduling one or two trial periods, with or without a charge on the first trial. The second trail, if used, would charge the customer. You can skip the trial periods and only offer the regular subscription. The subsciption allows intervals established in days, weeks, months and years. The customer makes the first payment. They then pay at the store's preset interval automatically. PayPal notifies them as each payment due is paid. If the customer cancels or does not pay at any interval, the store owner is notified so that he/she can turn off the subscription. PayPal manages the payments and intervals and deposits the payments into your account automatically.

This module guides the customer to the PayPal payment screens so that they do not get to the invoice screen without properly entering pay data. When the customer clicks the Pay button at the PayPal site, you can have the PayPal Instant Payment Notification send a silent update back to your payment history file which can be viewed in your Merchant admin:order edit screen. Unlike some other modules, if the customer does not return to Merchant, his order will still be processed and email notifications sent. When returning to your store, the invoice page will be displayed. You can also add additional instructions to inform customers what to expect at the PayPal site.

The module default will allow all of your products to be purchased with subscriptions. However, you can limit that to only product codes which you want to sell as subscriptions. Use this module for magazine or ezine subscriptions. You can even use it for membership programs. As long as the customer keeps their payments current, you keep their membership active. If they fail to keep current, PayPal notifies you of the status. Use it to manage domain registrations or web hosting fees. If you sell software licenses which are renewable, PayPal can keep track of the renewal dates and notify the customer and you.
