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. You have the option of one central administrator maintaining multiple stores or delegating specific store functions to sub-administrators. The software is organized as a series of modules that can be field upgraded to provide new functionality without changing to the core system.

Developers use the browser-based interface to build stores or go "under the hood" with complete access to the underlying source code written in XML based Miva Script. Merchants manage their stores with a user-friendly browser based interface.

Miva Empresa is a language pre-processor for parsing and executing applications that have been developed using the HTML-based, XML compliant, Miva Script language. The XML-based Miva Script language allows Web site developers access to advanced commerce and database features in a familiar environment -- HTML like tags. Because the system is tag based, HTML users can build active content documents without the burden of steep training and support. Advanced users can develop functional libraries using Miva Script's user defined functional capabilities. Developing an application using Miva Script is as easy as using industry standard tag based syntax in the active document. There is no easier way to build sophisticated active server-side documents than Miva Script. Web developers can implement applications that integrate HTML, commerce gateways, electronic mail, database, and Internet protocols in only a few hours.
