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
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.
