Common Questions:

Is the complete book the same as the current Beginner's Guide?
Somewhat. The core elements of the book, including instructions and step-by-step details is covered. The book, however, does contain additional information on ecommerce, Miva Marketplace, and resources. It is also a hard-bound, printed book.

What if I'm a version 3.x or 2.x user?
Most features upgraded through version 4.x are handled the same way via the admin, so users of versions 2.x and 3.x can benefit.

Does the book cover coding?
No. The book does cover basic elements of HTML, and link usage for stores, but custom coding is not taught in this book.

OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS - We will contact you with actual ship cost.

Note: Miva Script coding is not covered.

OpenUI is included!

We explain tricky topics that owners and operators deal with daily, such as:

  • Search engine visibility (each engine is a little different);
  • Affiliate marketing (make money as both a merchant and an affiliate);
  • Hosting company options (cheaper isn’t always better);
  • Payment processing (it’s not as confusing as you think, and you do have options);
  • Web analytics (a must for any serious ecommerce site);
  • Conversion (at least 5.0% of your visitors should buy something);
  • Blogs (can have a material effect on sales).

What you will find are down-to-earth articles that are immediately helpful to smaller ecommerce owners and operators.

You’ll read about ecommerce legal issues, ongoing tips and tricks, shipping, fulfillment, podcasts, "RSS" feeds, order management software, website design, pay-per-click advertising, banner advertising, and more.

What do our readers say? Here are three recent comments:

"Our decisions are primarily based on resources such as Practical eCommerce. We both read it cover to cover each month."

"Let me start by saying that my partner and I look forward to every issue of your publication!"
