Setting Up a Miva Merchant Shopping Cart

The Order Manager can import Miva Merchant web orders via the Internet. Follow the directions below to set up a Miva Merchant shopping cart into which you can import web orders.

Install the Miva Merchant Export Module

See the help article Installing the Export Script in Your Miva Merchant Store. This step must be completed BEFORE you can set up your shopping cart.

Setup Shopping Cart

  1. Open the Shopping Carts dialog box:

    1. Quick Clicks> Create/Edit Shopping Cart

    2. Quick Clicks> Setup Wizard> Shopping Carts tab> Create/Edit Shopping Cart

    3. Main Menu> Maintenance Menu> Cart Functions> Create/Edit Shopping Carts

    4. Main Menu> Maintenance Menu> Setup Functions tab> Store Setup Wizard> Shopping Carts tab> Create/Edit Shopping Cart button

  2. The Shopping Carts dialog box opens:

 

  1. Click Add Cart.

  2. Enter the store name in the Store Name field. Note: If you are licensed to use multiple shopping cart types, you should enter a unique store name for each one to help you distinguish between them.

  3. Select "Miva Merchant" from the Cart Type drop down list. Note: If you are licensed to use only one shopping cart type, you will not see a drop down list in the Cart Type field.

  4. In the Cart ID/User Name field, enter your Miva Merchant Administrator user name.

  5. In the Cart Password field, enter the Miva Merchant Administrator password. If you leave this field blank, you will be prompted to enter your password each time you download orders.

  6. In the Reenter Password field, re-enter your password.

  7. In the Store Code field, enter the code for the store. Note: Find the store code in Miva Merchant by going to the Advanced Administration screen, Clicking Stores, selecting the store, and clicking the Identification link on the right.

  8. In the Script URL field, enter the path to the export script, which you installed in the Modules of your Miva Merchant store. Your URL will likely be one of the following URLs. Choose the URL that corresponds to the Miva Merchant version you are using. Replace "www.mystore.com" with your web store address.

MM4 URL: www.mystore.com/Merchant2/4.24/modules/export/omxmlexp.mvc

MM5 URL: www.mystore.com/mm5/5.00/modules/export/omxmlexp.mvc

    1. To verify your script URL (optional), follow these steps:

      1. Go to the Miva Merchant Advanced Administration page.

      2. In the left margin, click on Domain Settings.

      3. Click on Site Configuration on the right.

      4. Select and copy the URL shown in the Secure URL to Miva Merchant field, OMITTING the following: merchant.mv or merchant.mvc found at the very end of the URL.

      5. Paste the URL into the Script URL field on the Shopping Carts tab, ADDING the Miva Merchant Version Number (If you do not know the version number, look for it on the Miva Merchant Administration web page.)

      6. After the version number, add /modules/export/omxmlexp.mv (uncompiled) OR /modules/export/omxmlexp.mvc (compiled).

  1. Click Save.

  2. Click the Test button. You should see a message indicating the test passed and the version of the Export Module installed.
