Welcome to the Emporium Plus module store. Emporium Plus was founded in 1999 by William (Bill) Weiland as an outlet for his plug-in modules for the newly created Miva Merchant shopping cart system. We are the largest developer of plug-in modules for the Miva Merchant shopping cart system. We have well over 100 different modules, many of them for multiple versions of Miva Merchant (2x-5x). They are in use in thousands of stores to enhance their functionality and look and feel.
Greatly extend the capabilities of store morph coding. Some of the below features are in this store. There are dozens more with example code snippets included.

put it on the Product List page and the Category pages (as we have done in this store).

Extend the functionality of the price group system in Miva Merchant. The built-in system lets you assign customers and products to groups so they can get a designated discount off specified products.

Display all open baskets in a table format. This report includes active and expired baskets. As a Miva Merchant store owner you are able to see how many people come to your store and abandon baskets, even after placing items in the basket. In some cases, customers get to checkout and then abandon baskets and you can determine that too.
Easily create a static sitemap htm file. The module breaks the file into smaller files to increase the likelihood of indexing by search engines. Each file contains pagination links to the other sitemap files. The module can also create the short link styles being used by most Miva Merchant stores.
This legacy order history system is in this 5x store because we needed to
maintain our 4x files to provide continuity. Eventually we will be inactivating this module in the store. It is still available for purchase for 4x stores, but has been discontinued for Merchant version 5x.

In conjunction with our Tool Kit module, recommend other products to buy based on products which were bought by other customers with the same product they had purchased
This module gives the shopper a discount based on a predetermined qualifying number of items. In admin the store owner sets the number of items it requires in order for the lowest priced item to be free. For every increment of that number, an item's value reduces the total sale. For example, if the number is 5 and the customer buys 5, the lowest priced item is free. If the customer buys 10, the lowest two items are free. In this store we have set the qualifying number at 5, so buy 5 and save.
Set minimum and maximum quantity order rules. You can establish a required minimum number of each product that must be ordered. You can also establish a maximum number of each product that can be in a single Miva Merchant order. You can also force multiples in a drop down quantity input.
