Written by Miva | Apr 23, 2013

We have just released an update to our core software product. Miva Merchant 5.5 PR8 Update 9 is the highly anticipated update for Miva Merchant users.  Users of the Miva Merchant software can log into their store administration panel and stream the update to their store to take advantage of the new features offered.

The new features for Update 9 include a new custom fields module, new shipping rules, sign-in as customer, variant import, managing orders filter for customers, using an outside mail server.  In addition, there are more than 10 additional new features and 80+ bug fixes.

One of the most anticipated new modules of PR8 Update 9 is the “Shop As Customer” module, which allows administrative users to view the run-time interface as a Customer.  It also allows store owners to troubleshoot with ease on customer-specific issues.

Another new module included in the update allows easy one-click integration of Google Analytics into Miva Merchant stores.

In addition, the Custom Fields Module is the most powerful and flexible developer tool of Miva Merchant.  Included in this new update are 16 new functions that allow for reading and writing of all custom fields from any page, as well as the ability to sort custom fields into groups.

“We are excited to release Update 9, as this update provides our customers with some of the most powerful and flexible tools we’ve ever released,” says Rick Wilson, President & COO of Miva Merchant. “We are continually seeking new ways to help Miva Merchant stores grow and providing them with the most usable tools out there.”
