Miva: High Velocity Web Commerce

Miva Merchant is a browser-based Storefront Development and Management System. It integrates cataloging, product, fulfillment, maintenance, category management, shopping basket, order and credit card processing. Multiple stores can be maintained by one central administrator or specific store functions can be delegated to sub-administrators.

The software is organized as a series of modules that can be field upgraded to provide new functionality without changes to the core system. E-merchants can use the browser-based interface to build stores and developers can build modules in XML-based Miva Script. Merchants manage their stores with a user friendly browser-based interface.

Miva Merchant User Guide for v3.0

Consumer and Business E-Catalogs
E-catalogs can be organized into pricing and availability groups for customer access to selected products and pricing. Pricing can be displayed at retail or calculated as a markup over cost or a discount off retail. E-merchants can use this grouping system to create retail, wholesale, or specialized selling environments.

Robust Product Attributes
Products can be configured with unlimited attributes such as size, optional features and personalization. Attributes can be a displayed as multiple choice, checkbox or text field, Attributes can cause an increase or reduction in price and can be mandatory or optional.

Virtual Domain or Dedicated Domain
Because Miva Merchant is written in Miva Script, it is ideal for either virtual domain or dedicated domain implementations. Miva Merchant runs identically in any Miva-enabled environment.

Database Management
Thousands of categories and products can be maintained in Miva Merchant without sacrificing performance. The database architecture of the system allows instant organization and fast product search while maintaining complete compatibility with other systems. You can use dozens of different database management tools to access Miva Merchant xBase compatible data files.

Cross Platform
All Miva Merchant application and database files are 100% cross platform. Investment in e-catalog development is protected when migrating to a different architecture.


Modular Architecture
Miva Merchant is specifically designed so developers and aftermarket venders can implement their own customized modules around a common API. Once a module is developed, push-button registration automatically integrates it into the main Miva Merchant system.
Modules can be developed for
the following sub-systems:

Fulfillment
User Interface
Shipping
Payment
Currency
Sales Tax
Batch Reporting
Import / Export
Buyer Traffic Reporting
Intercept System Functions


Existing Site Integration
E-merchants who have sites in HTML can hyperlink directly into a Miva Merchant e-catalog. Key e-catalog functions such as product lookup, category presentation, shopping basket, and order forms can be accessed as components of existing HTML-based web sites.

Security
All sensitive data can be encrypted with SSL prior to transmission. This includes the customer ordering process and processing of orders. Multiple layers of login permissions give a centralized manager the ability to grant store-level permissions to different developers and merchants.

Documentation and Support
Context-sensitive help is available for each key field in the administrative interface within Miva Merchant. In addition, online documentation is available on Miva's web site. Support for Miva products is available through Miva's Incident Reporting System and user group forums.

Site Administrator Friendly
Miva Merchant requires no daily management. Installation takes less than a minute on any Miva-enabled web server with several automated installation scripts provided free by Miva Corporation to hosting services and service providers.
