Upsale
When your customer has completed their order and submitted
their payment, you may wish to have them presented with a special offer
good only for that moment. The offer will be selected from a list of special
items you designate, based on a set of criteria you designate.
This is called Upsale
To begin setting up your Upsale system, click on the
small blue arrow to expand the sub-menu beneath Upsale.

Threshold Percentage
of Order Total
An upsale item should not exceed the price of the total
order, and should, in fact, be a percentage of the whole. For
example, if a customer's total shopping order is $100, you might want
to exclude any upsale products that exceed %25 of that total, (or anything
over $25.00) from being offered as an Upsale offer.

Related Products
for Upsale
The criteria for selecting which products will be offered
as Upsale items may depend on the items in a shopper's basket. If all items
in your store are considered related to one another and you enter no special
criteria for this, Miva Merchant will treat all Upsale items as being equally
relative to each shopper's basket and base the item offered on price only
(as selected above)
However if you offer different types of products, you
may wish to designate the Upsale item offered based on the items in a shopper's
basket. For example, if you sell jewelry and car parts, you would
not necessarily want the Upsale offer to be a pair of earrings if the items
in the shopper's basket are lug nuts and windshield wipers.

Once you have your merchant ID and merchant keystring
from CyberCash, you can configure your server.
-
Using a text editor such as Notepad, create a plain text
file that contains your merchant keystring, with a carriage return after
it.
-
Save the file using your merchant ID plus .key
as a filename. For example, if your merchant ID is test-mck then
the filename would be test-mck.key
-
Find the top data directory in your web account. This may
be called "mivadata" or "htsdata" and usually resides either inside your
home directory or parallel to your html directory. This is where
Miva Merchant has installed all of it's data, (i.e. htsdata/Merchant/)
-
Once you find your top data directory, create a new directory
inside of it called CyberCash (i.e. mivadata/CyberCash/) After you
create the new directory, place the text key file you just created inside
of it.
