Allow customers to place an order at your Miva Merchant store and pay for it using a purchase order payment method. Normally, this module will be used by B2B, government, or large corporate customers who have accounts with your store.
Features: (some features are only in the compiled version - see details)
- Accept purchase orders in your store
- Restrict usage to specific customers
- Restrict usage to a specific availability group
- Optionally hide the purchase order option from non-eligible customers
- Configurable selection prompt and input label
- Configurable invoice message
Feature Details:
You can limit purchase order usage by requiring
that their Login ID be approved by the store owner BEFORE
a purchase order will be accepted. Hence, if they are
not on the approved list of Login IDs, they will not
even see the option to pay by purchase order in the payment
selection drop down list.
Alternatively, you can configure the module in admin to
function as a purchase order module with no pre-approved
list of customers. Hence, every customer would have the
option to pay by purchase order and would see it in the
payment selection list. The unrestricted usage
feature is available for Merchant version 4.00 and newer.
New in the compiled version is the ability to assign customers
pre-approved to use a purchase order to an availability group.
The module can use the availability group designation to limit
who has the option to use purchase orders. This 3rd method of
control eliminates the need to list every eligible Login ID;
simply designate the group the B2B customers are assigned to.
The payment selection label, purchase order entry label and
order edit label are configurable in admin. As example, instead
of Purchase Order as an entry in the payment selection drop
down list, you could change it to read Account Number or other
applicable text. You can configure an invoice message that can be displayed only if the purchase order is the selected form of payment. This allows you to remind them about payment terms on their account.
