To Manage
Miva
Merchant has extensive management
systems that handle all the aspects
of products, categories, customers,
and orders. With an easy-to-use
administrative interface, managing
all of your store’s data has never
been easier.
Miva
Merchant allows an unlimited number
of products to be listed in your
storefront. Detailed product descriptions
can be created using HTML, and
product attributes can be assigned
to display options. The product
management system helps you organize
your products and easily manage
all product data.
Just
like products, Miva Merchant can
handle an unlimited number of
categories. Use the category management
system to create your main categories,
and further specify with sub-categories.
Assigning products to categories
and sub-categories is conveniently
handled within the category management
system.
Keeping
track of your customers can be
a hassle. But with Miva Merchant’s
customer management system, it’s
a snap. Customers can create accounts
on your storefront, and add or
update their contact information.
Using your customer database,
you can offer special pricing
and products when customers sign-in
to your store.
Your
Miva Merchant orders come into
a centralized location within
your Miva Merchant admin. Under
Order Processing, you can batch
your orders at the end of the
day, run a batch report to analyze
order data, and even process your
orders through your payment gateway
right from within Miva Merchant.
Orders are emailed to you and
the client.

Merchant has a wide variety
of built-in payment modules,

plug-in modules from third party
developers, to expand on the already
wide array of built-in features.
With Miva's extensive Developer
Network, finding a module to meet
your e-commerce needs is a breeze.

Miva Merchant storefront to do,
with the availability of third-party
modules, anything is possible.
