A shopping cart is a program that allows for a merchant to easily add their products/services for purchase on the Web. A shopping cart will total the order, add tax and shipping, and email the customer and merchant when the order is complete. Most shopping carts work with 'Real-Time' credit card processing which means the merchants gateway verifies the credit card, and deposits the money in the merchants merchant account within seconds.

Miva Merchant is a browser-based storefront and catalog development tool that integrates cataloging, product maintenance, category management, shopping basket, order and credit card processing. The software is organized as a series of modules that can be field-upgraded to provide new functionality without any changes to the core system. Developers can use the browser interface to build and manage their stores, or can "get under the hood" with complete access to the underlying source codes written in XML based Miva Script.
Miva Order, which is offered with our Virtual Starter & Virtual Basic plan, provides a secure, customizable online order form. Businesses simply incorporate a link from the web page where their products are sold, permitting customers to seamlessly access the order form and make purchases. Miva Order is also administered using a browser.
