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!”
