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 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.
