The express order module allows you to display an express order form within Miva Merchant. This is useful for your customers who routinely order from a printed catalog with SKU numbers
for each unique product or they order the same thing frequently and have the codes written down or memorized. If they know the product codes, they simply enter them and submit. This saves time since they do not have to do time consuming searches or browse categories and products
looking for the items they want to order. It cannot be used for products which have variable attributes. You can also not use it if you have minimum order requirements for a specific product code combined with volume pricing. The button to open the form can be placed on any screen and in any location in the store. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
It includes an automatic re-display of the express order input form if all of the entries are filled in on the previous submission. The
express order screen will continue to re-display as long as all inputs are used and there are no errors in the product codes submitted.
The store owner can define how many product entry inputs display on each page. Further, the store owner can use either the default display (with configured number of entries), or he/she
can use the template Express Order screen. The template allows the store owner to move objects around and personalize the look of the Express Order screen.
The error messages are configurable.
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server and
permissions are set correctly on the data
directories. This would be the case in most of the server setups. If you are using Merchant 5.x and your host is web.com, you will not be able to use this module due to the way they configure their servers. There are no known issues with
other hosts.
