What is Miva Merchant?

Miva Merchant is a a shopping cart package that has been around forever – and yet, is perfect for today’s web environment. Through a long history, the software has evolved from a basic checkout tool to a platform that is rich in features, extensible, and customizable. You can use it to build beautiful, usable, functional, and SEO-friendly online stores.

What are Miva modules?

Miva modules are add-on pieces of software that perform a specific function. Typically they add a feature that is not already present in the Miva Merchant distribution. Or they may duplicate a built-in feature in a different way. Modules are provided by the Miva Merchant company, by third-party developers, and by independent coders who need to add a unique feature to their own store.
