Store
Management
Miva Merchant comes complete with a set of wizards to simplify the process
of building your store. Then, the browser-based administration interface
provides access to an array of more sophisticated tools to maintain
your catalog and inventory, manage accounts, create comprehensive promotional
campaigns, handle order fulfillment responsibilities, and generate detailed
sales and website traffic reports.
Account
Management
Whether you are running a single store or a "shopping mall",
Miva Merchant allows you to have complete management control. You can
create a store manager with full authority and multiple user accounts
to handle the normal day-to-day operations of running your store. Also,
customer accounts can be set up to provide frequent shopper programs,
discounted pricing, and special product availability.
Catalog
Management
Create categories, products, and attributes within Miva Merchant using
wizards, the Miva Merchant administration interface, or the product
import utility. Use the sorting capability to quickly organize your
products for display. Create detailed product descriptions using text
and HTML, and attributes can be assigned to products to allow you to
identify your product's characteristics more accurately to your customers.
Merchandising
Merchandising is key to success of all stores and Miva Merchant has
the capability to implement a variety of programs to increase your sales.
With Miva Merchant you can associate complimentary products to give
shoppers the opportunity to purchase similar items. You can also create
an upsale process when shoppers meet pre-defined criteria such as purchasing
specific products or exceeding specified dollar amounts.
Pricing groups can be used in combination with select shopper availability groups to qualify them for discounts on any or all products in the store.
Order
Fulfillment
Processing credit card payments is easy with Miva Merchant's pre-configured
payment processing solutions from industry leaders. Miva Merchant also
configures multiple sales tax methods and provides your customers with
multiple shipping options. Checking order status is also simple with
our instant order email confirmations that are sent to both the merchant
and customer. Miva Merchant is bundled with interfaces to the following
list of payment gateways and supports over 40 others:
Authorize.net
Payment Services v3.0
E-Commerce Exchange/QuickCommerce 3.0 Payment Gateway
Moneris e-SELECT Payment Service
GlobalCommerce Payment Gateway
CyberSource ICSv2 Payment Services
Cardservice/LinkPoint Payment Gateway
Paradata Payment Service
Verisign Payflow Link

Through Miva Merchant's modular architecture, many other payment processors
can be integrated to a Miva Merchant storefront. Visit our partners
section for more details.
Modular
Architecture
Miva Merchant is specifically designed so developers and aftermarket
vendors 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 look-up,
category presentation, shopping basket, and order forms can be accessed
as components of existing HTML-based websites.
Security
All sensitive data can be encrypted with a SSL prior to transmission.
This includes when a customer makes an order and when you are processing
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 website. 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.
