Review: Miva Merchant 5

The name “Miva” is now more inclusive than just an e-commerce storefront, thanks to a corporate rebranding of FindWhat.com and a string of acquisitions. Yet the name, Miva is still best known for its Miva Merchant e-commerce solution, which recently hit version 5. The new version includes a number of new and improved features that will likely help to keep the name Miva synonymous with e-commerce storefronts for some time to come.

What is Miva Merchant 5?
Miva Merchant 5 is a mature and robust e-commerce storefront solution with the usual sorts of e-commerce functionality. It allows you to create and manage an e-commerce catalogue, handle payments and shipping – as well as Inventory and Merchandising capabilities.

Miva Merchant 5, as was the case with its predecessors, is quite extensible thanks to a long list of add-on module (at various prices, many of them listed on http://mivacentral.com/). Miva Merchant is available from Miva directly (for installation on your own and installed on your own web server) as well as from Miva hosting partners as a hosted service.
