The Gift/Wish List can be used by couples for wedding registry, by children making their birthday or Christmas list, or that "significant other" who wants to be surprised by not knowing the specific item they are
going to receive. This MIVA Merchant module can also be used for personal and business wish/want lists intended for future purchases or for the customer who wants a favorites list so they can easily return and order items that they frequently buy. The favorites feature is great for the wholesale customer.
Gift List shopping allows a person(s) to select a list of products they
would like to have. They place the products into their shopping basket.
Then, rather than checkout and pay for the items, they save the basket to the Gift/Wish List with one button. For quick saves, they can also save them from the individual product screens.
In Merchant 5.x and 4.x stores with page templates, you can have save links on any screen where products are displayed, e.g. category, search, product list.
In Merchant 4.x and 5.x and if you are also using our Tell A Friend module, a convenient
button is placed at the bottom of the Gift List display to
forward the URL for the Gift List to friends.
Then, you as the gift giver, can review the list and select the item or items you would like to give them. Lists are
looked up with easy to remember code, i.e. list owner's initials and phone number.
Customers can also save items they plan to purchase
later by placing them in a wish list. The admin
configuration allows the store owner to change the labels
from gift list to wish list or even favorites list. Customers simply place
the items in the basket and save them to the wish list
with a single button click. Customers can also save them
individually from the product screen as with the gift
list. This is an excellent tracker mechanism to promote
future sales in your store.
The admin report allows you to view all active gift lists.
This module allows you to maintain the gift or wish list database on your
server. There are no ridiculous monthly/quarterly fees to pay to other
companies just to store customer wishes on their server. You control
your data.
The module can save attributes of products to the Gift/Wish List, e.g. S, M or L. The basket save form template can be customized to
conform to your site's look and feel. Likewise, the search form templates used to locate the
gift/wish list can be customized. If you are not versed in templates, you can select to use the
default forms until you feel comfortable modifying the HTML.
The module can use OpenTokens
instead of hook points within OpenObjects. The
OpenDesigner screen lists the OpenObjects which can
replace all or some screens within the OpenUI user
interface. The OpenObjects provide a template screen
which contains the existing hook points (backward
compatibility), OpenToken capability, and the ability to
move output around within the OpenObject screen. Since
the tokens in this module conform to OpenToken
functionality, they may be used in other template type
screens like those provided by Viking Coders. Place the
save to Gift/Wish list button on the Merchant pages so that it better fits your desired look.
