Miva adds multi-currency capabilities

[August 21st 2001]

WorldPay and Miva have announced a technology partnership designed to extend the horizons of U.S. e-tailers into global markets. The partnership, announced at the Web Hosting Expo 2001 in Washington, D.C., combines the comprehensive eCommerce development capabilities of Miva Merchant 4.0 with WorldPay's secure multi-currency transaction processing service.

A new integration module jointly developed with WorldPay allows Miva Merchant users to offer consumers WorldPay's secure, multi-currency transaction capability, making it possible to purchase goods and services via the Web from over 90 countries, and in 120 currencies.

Miva Merchant 4.0 is a versatile storefront solution that includes many powerful new features including: affiliate program management, inventory tracking, advanced administrative features, store statistics and more.

These new features complement those found in previous versions of the software including account and catalog management, merchandising, order fulfillment and integrated payment processing services. Miva Merchant 4.0 comes complete with a set of wizards that help simplify the process of building an online store. Merchants can set up their storefront and begin selling in just a few minutes.

"eCommerce has long been hyped as a global opportunity, but U.S. sites typically lock out overseas buyers by limiting transactions to the U.S. dollar," said David Talley, Vice President of U.S. Operations for WorldPay.

"With Miva and its strong customer base here, WorldPay is expanding our U.S. presence and at the same time helping online businesses reach their full potential by providing access to the largest market possible."
