Free Version 5 Module

Re: Free Version 5 Module

Just removed the Upsell and it worked fine. So it seems at least in 5.5 that having an upsell messes it up. Is that duplicatable?

Thanks again.

Dear All,

It should work in a 5.5 Store as it is a just a basic Payment Module.

I will run some tests over the weekend. If anyone can provide any information please pass it on to me.

Will the customer and merchant confirmation emails be sent when using this module to checkout? (I need to test the customer HTML.)

Re: Free Version 5 Module

Yes, everything is like a regular order, only the payment method is special.

Re: Free Version 5 Module

If using inventory tracking, would it be necessary to readjust inventory after using this module?

Can someone answer the question above?

Re: Free Version 5 Module

I would assume it is necessary to adjust inventory. The module is simply another payment method that hides itself unless your name matches exactly. I wouldn't imagine him throwing extra hooks in to correct inventory counts.

Dear All,

This Module works as any other Payment Module. The difference is, it looks for a certain First Name and Last Name to be present before it will show up as a choice for check out.

I am going to see if / why there is a problem with Upsale. There should not be, but some are saying there is a problem.

Re: Free Version 5 Module

Thanks, Nerd Boy! I've installed the module. What would cause the "Test Order" to NOT show up in the payment option drop down box? The modules is "checked" in payment settings and I've typed Test in first name box and Order in last name box.

Has this module stopped working with recent miva updates? It now returns me to the payment screen when I select Test Order. Also I can no longer access the link to the module itself.

It has broken but if you're hosted with us we're sending out a new version this week as our monthly Reward.

When I try to go to the link, there is no download link! I notice that I get redirected to http://www.asmallurl.com/ rather than http://www.asmallurl.com/62

Anyone else get this?

FYI: We also have a test order module (Faux Order) which is currently being offered for free. Besides offering the ability to place test orders, it also lets you keep the module in place and have it only available to whomever you want and, you can delete all test orders from within the module itself.

Re: Free Version 5 Module

I think this free offer could turn out to be very expensive. "Test Order" would be a horrible password and that is exactly what this module sets-up. Anyone on this forum (or even a novice hacker) could visit a Miva store and empty the shelves of inventory. All of my products are delivered electronically which means I could not intercept the order before it was delivered. Even if you don't ship such an order, the interruption to your business could be massive. I think I will continue to use the built-in Miva IP Check Payment for test purchases.

A simple fix for this problem would be to allow the user to set their own code in admin.

Re: Free Version 5 Module

Dear Bill,

It is a free Module you can use if you want, or not use it.

I know several hundred people were using this Free Test Payment Module in previous versions of Miva Merchant without any issues. No one reported to me anyone clearing out all inventory. In fact I did not have any issues reported until is suddenly stopped working after an upgrade. Something along the lines in one of the Upgrades made it stop working. Not sure why or what it was. So, I rewrote and will now support it if it stops working for some reason.

I will be offering an extended version which will allow you to set multiple names to use. It should be out in the next 30 days.

OOPS! The IP Check Module is not a Miva built-in. It is an older version of the free PhosphorMedia module. I don't even remember installing it but I use it every day.
