Easy-to-use
The XML-based MivaScript language lets web site developers access advanced e-commerce and database features in an HTML environment. Because the system is tag-based, HTML users can build active content documents. Advanced users can develop function libraries using MivaScript's user-defined function capabilities. Developing an application using MivaScript is as easy as using industry standard tag-based syntax in the active document. There is no easier way than Miva Script to build sophisticated active server-side documents. Web developers can implement applications that integrate HTML, e-commerce gateways, electronic mail, database, and internet protocols in a few hours.
Commerce
Access to the most popular commerce services on the net is built into MivaScript and accessible via a single tag. Using the MvCOMMERCE tag, developers can securely and easily access back-end services from such major names as VeriSign, CyberSource, FedEx, and more. Simple credit card processing or advanced electronic software distribution systems are standard features of MivaScript (setup and monthly fees with the commerce provider is not included).
