Modules

The word "module" is used to indicate a specific set of programming which performs a specific function, or set of functions. The use of modules allows for a greater degree of flexibility and upgrade ability to the system as a whole. New modules may be added and implemented without effecting the rest of your system. You may change modules if you like as well...for example, you may wish to change from Flat Rate Shipping to UPS Shipping. This is done by simply changing your module selections.

• Module Paths
  
  
  • Root Directory for Modules
    Your modules are stored by default in a directory named Merchant. Miva Merchant uses this directory path to configure links for the modules. In most cases, this default should not be changed.
    
    path should be / Merchant2 /
    
    
  • Secure Root Directory for Modules
    Your modules are stored by default in a directory named Merchant. Miva Merchant uses this directory path to configure secure links for the modules where needed. In most cases, this default should not be changed.
    
    secure path should be / your-userid / Merchant2 /
    
    Note: your-userid is your domain name with no extension. example- fred.com would be fred.
