I am planning some e-commerce work with a client of mine and they have read

I do not know much (anything) about Miva, but I knew a guy ages ago that
did. Matt Zur. Here is his website.

Oh gosh, run fast in the other direction.
The company I'm with now was using Miva when I got here (this was a couple
of years ago). It is written in a proprietary language which is specific to
Miva. So unless you want to learn that language, you'll be dependent on
using modules written

anyone have any experience with MIVA?
I agree 100% with Josh for exactly the reason he said. MIVA is certainly
robust, but all the CF programmers in our
Check out X-cart www.x-cart.com
It's a PHP/MySQL app. I've used this package several times and for less
than $200 it's got everything you could need and, in my opinion, could
be priced much higher. Let me know if you have questions about X-Cart --

I have had good success with Cartweaver:

I began using it originally because it was all CF, with all the code being
very well documented, which meant that I could customize it easily.
I have it in use on two web sites now, in neither case out of the box, but

That's my main concern, the guy who emails a page and says, go buy this,

type in the location of your home page. Even via search

Not very impressed. Layout of items is poor. Admin screens not easy to
view. Needs work to make it usable.

We used to use Miva and we got away from it due to licensing costs, poor
customizing, missing features. We have since purchased source for a
FB3 commerce solution and we have added MANY features to it to make it
our own. Now we have a free commerce solution that can be deployed
and branded
Anyone using Miva Merchant? I have a client that wants e-commerce at no
cost and I have a few q's about this product:
1. How difficult is it to integrate without any knowledge of the product?
2. How customizable is it (look and feel)?
3. To what extent can you use ColdFusion?

things to make it look however you like. Just depends on yours or

3. I have not used it with CF but MivaScript (the language it is written
is) is VERY similar to CF. You should have no problem at all as long as
you just include the miva pages in your CF templates
Has anyone run the MIVA commerce platform on a cf enabled server. We have a
client whos determined to use their software and I'm not willing to
configure a server for it if its gonna hack away at the performance of the
other hosted sites on the box.
