New Integration Module Links Miva eCommerce Platform to WorldPay`s
Multi-Currency Transaction Processing, Opening Global Opportunities for
Online Businesses
WASHINGTON, D.C., AUGUST 21, 2001 - WorldPay, Inc., the global leader in
multi-currency transaction processing and eCommerce, and Miva Corporation,
the leading provider of eCommerce platforms for small to medium-sized
businesses, today 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.
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. 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.
"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."
"Miva Merchant 4.0 empowers online business owners with everything they need
to launch customized e-commerce storefronts quickly, easily and
efficiently," said Robert Hanczor, Miva`s Vice President of Marketing. "With
WorldPay, we`re ensuring our users can do business with their customers no
matter where they are or what currency they prefer to use."
