Overview:
Miva Merchant is a browser based Storefront and Catalog development system (shopping cart) , which integrates cataloging, product maintenance, category management, shopping basket, order and credit card processing. One central administrator can maintain multiple stores or specific store functions can be delegated to sub-administrators. 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.

Merchants manage their stores with a user friendly browser based interface.
