Customizable look & feel

Make your store look the way you like. Miva's included templates are professional-looking and complete, and can be custom-tailored to your needs.

Enhanced administration

Import your inventory and other settings from older versions of Miva Merchant, from Miva Order or even from plain-text "flat files" created by spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel. Create multiple administrator accounts, or, if you have multiple stores, create multiple users who are limited to managing the specific functions of the specific stores you've assigned to them. Developers get complete access to the Web software, written in XML-based Miva Script. Customize your online store in any way you can imagine!

Take credit card orders manually or automatically

If you're signed up with a merchant account provider, take credit cards automatically and quickly. If you prefer to process credit card requests manually, Miva can still verify credit card numbers, accepted via your secure connection to your customer.

Upload as you go

You don't need to have all your pictures or content uploaded to the server before you start building your store. Upload each file as you need it, and save time and server space.

Maintenance mode

Miva Merchant lets you put your store into a special maintenance mode, allowing you to make quick changes without worrying about whether a customer's transaction is going to be interrupted by your modifications.

Inventory tracking

You can track inventory levels for all the products in your store. Your customers will know exactly when a product is in-stock or out of stock. This powerful feature even sends email notifications about low quantity and sold out items. You can manage inventory levels and notices for your entire store or for specific items. It's easy to administer and you'll eliminate orders for products that are no longer in stock.

Sell more by offering impulse purchases

Pitch your customer with products and accessories that complement their purchases - directly at the time of checkout. Use this feature to offer special discounts and promotions as well.

Site traffic and sales statistics

You'll know exactly how many customers have visited your store and how much they have spent. Automatically generated logs show you your costs and the prices your customers pay, as well as the profit you make on each item. This useful feature makes it easy to track your store traffic and make smarter inventory and promotional decisions.
