Miva Merchant Now has a Hosted Platform Version
Monday, December 7th, 2009Miva Merchant has traditionally been offered through various web hosts around the globe, and for sale directly to users who wish to manage their own box. Now, they have also added a hosted version, where customers can pay for the software, hosting, email, and so on for a monthly fee (which varies depending on the package selected).
Practical Ecommerce interviews Rick Wilson, executive Vice President of Miva Merchant, to talk about the new offering.
The hosted version of Miva Merchant allows them to compete with carts such as Volusion, who are known more for their simplicity and ease of hosting/setup than they are for their flexibility or extensibility. Miva Merchant continues to support the existing models running through independent web hosts or sold directly to the end user.
