Miva Merchant Announces 5.5 Release

Monday, May 26th, 2008
San Diego, CA, 2008/05/08 — Today Miva Merchant announced the successful release of Miva Merchant 5.5, a powerful upgrade to its widely used e-commerce storefront software product. At 7 AM Pacific Time yesterday, the robust dot-5 release began streaming to Miva Merchant store owners, web hosts and web designers.

The Miva Merchant 5.5 product boasts numerous powerful new features, including:

  • A highly intuitive Admin interface focusing on click-efficiency
  • Seamless import/export of all items and pages to/from Dreamweaver™
  • Built-in SEO features including full control of DOCTYPE, Product, and Category Metatags, and search-friendly links
  • The ability to build a new store entirely on the new skins-enabled CSS framework.

To see a demo of the new admin visit: http://www.mivamerchant.com/products/demo/mm5/admin.mvc and for a full list of features, enhancements and screen shots visit http://www.mivamerchant.com/support/downloads/mm5/production-5.html.

Significantly, the Miva Merchant 5.5 product was designed to be a seamless update for our current Miva Merchant 5 users, and early store owner comments are already overwhelmingly positive, such as “…after a little while–the store was up–we did our…module updates and tested. The new version rocks! It’s actually faster (if that’s possible) than before. Kudos to the Dev team!”

Miva Merchant 5.5 update is coming!

Monday, May 26th, 2008

San Diego, CA, 2008/04/08 –

Dear Fellow Miva Merchant,

 

In a few short weeks, we will be streaming out the new 5.5 update to Miva Merchant 5. This is an important milestone for us since acquiring Miva Merchant some 8 months ago and I wanted to share a few highlights with you.First off, this is a major improvement to version 5 that will yet again establish Miva Merchant as the best-of-breed e-commerce platform–bar none. Here are just a few of the most noteworthy improvements:

  • A far more intuitive Admin interface that focuses on click-efficiency and adds many conveniences, such as the new launchpad function
  • Seamless import/export of all of your items and pages to/from Dreamweaver™
  • Built-in SEO features including full control of your DOCTYPE, Product, and Category Metatags, and search-friendly links
  • The ability switch between the default MMUI framework to our new skin-able CSS framework. This feature is currently in a public beta download and will ship about 30 days after 5.5

Most importantly, nothing you are doing now as a 5 storeowner will be negatively impacted by the new release, which was one of our driving principles. You’ll be right at home as soon as you update to the new product, and start benefitting from it immediately.

I want to personally thank you for your commitment to Miva Merchant and I’m confident that all of the hard work of our staff will show up in a better store for you, our valued clients.
