Feature Details.
The Mini-basket "view" is configured in the admin interface. The title of the
Mini-basket, column headings, font size and color are configurable. You
also have the option of a checkout link appearing in the Mini-basket when
a specific order subtotal has been reached, thus allowing for minimum orders
if you have disabled the checkout button in the standard Merchant nav bar.
You can also allow customers to preview shipping options and costs with a single
click if they enter ship to location info. Customers do not need to
be logged in to view the shipping options. The Mini-basket title, checkout
button, and shipping option link can be displayed with either
text or image. The basket title is linked to the full basket contents
display and the checkout is linked to the checkout screens. The shipping option
link runs the installed shipping modules to display the available methods. It
is compatible with most shipping modules. It may not show the shipping methods with some versions of the Copernicus Shipping Supermod as they did not provide an API for all versions.
In the compiled version of Merchant we have included
footsteps of customers' recent travels to the product
pages in the store. The display remains closed unless the
customer clicks the link for the recent visits, thus
not taking too much space. When displayed, an Add to basket
button can be included so the customer can easily add
products which they had visited earlier and now they want
to add them without having to search or drill down though
the categories. This reminder of pages visited lessens
the chance of forgetting something before the customer
checks out. The convenient links allows the customer to
quickly go back and take a look at the products again. The
recent visit history will remain available for the length
the store owner has set for basket timeout. Additionally,
for your customers who login, you can have the history availability
extended for any number of additional hours, as they are more
likely to return and make a purchase. The recent visit
history can be included within the mini-basket table or
outside of it. If you want to place the visit history
outside of the mini-basket, you can use tokens in the header
and footers of screens if you are using the OpenUI. We
have included a "view" feature in admin that allows the
store owner to monitor live activity in the store. All
recent product page visits are listed the admin screen.
Customers not using cookies or whose browser is creating
a different session ID with each page click will not be
able to display their recent history, however the store
owner will still be able to see the pages currently being
visited.
In the compiled version are new admin configuration options, e.g. border
color and text to display when the basket is empty. If
you are using one of the sort shipping modules like our
Shipping List or our Sort Shipping Plus Free Shipping
Option, you can configure the Mini-basket module to use the sort order of those modules. It can also use the sort order from some (but not all) of the 4.x versions of the Copernicus Shipping SuperMod. None of the 5.x versions of the Supermod have provided the API to interface with mini-basket shipping calculator.
You can configure the product
data column to display the full product name, or code, or
a portion of the product name (20, 30, or 40 characters).
In addition to the several locations available using OpenUI
hook points, you can use OpenUI tokens to place the display
within headers and footers of the MIVA Merchant screens. You
can also make the mini-basket invisible until at least one
item is added to the basket. You can also include an
image in the mini-basket immediately after addition of a
product to the basket. Many times customers don't realize
a product was added so they click the Add to Basket button
again. By displaying a noticeable, e.g. animated, image in
the mini-basket, their attention is drawn to the basket and
they clearly see the addition was made. You can also have
a delete button in the minibasket for quick removal of items
from the basket. You can place the mini-basket on a static
html page by using an iframe. See the install doc for details.
In Merchant version 5.x, the mini-basket can be divided
into separate sections using its store morph technology
templates. The templates have the typical version
history features in MM5.
Each section can work independantly. The shipping section
can even sort the options by cost, name, code or module
name. There is even a token to display the subtotal of a
specific product so that it can be placed next to the
product in list displays, e.g. the category page.
License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, the module can be
used in multiple stores without additional license. It functions
within both the MIVA Merchant (mmui.mv) and OpenUI (oui.mv)
look and feel modules, appearing at either the top or bottom of
the category column. If using the mmui.mv, you will add one line
to the mmui.mv file. Note that if your Merchant version is
4.14 or newer, you'll need to edit and recompile the mmui.mv to
mmui.mvc (compiler license from MIVA Corp required). Hence, OpenUI
is highly recommended if you are using Merchant 4.14 or newer.
If using the OpenUI, the hook is automatically
set when you install the module. There are several hook
point screen locations available, of which one can be
selected in the module's admin screen.
This module is also included in the
Combo and
Basket Master bundles. Save when you buy bundled module
licenses.

This gives the customer instant access to all the information they could possibly want including shipping costs.
And it is fully customizable through admin.
