Sara...
I used Miva quite a while ago for a business I was trying to grow on the
web. As I recall you had to use a Miva application server. It could be
purchased and run by you or you could use hosting company that provides
that service. I never made it to the goal at the time but if I was in need
of more inexpensive method to do commerce on the web I would look into it.
As I recall it was kind of a web consol based development environment with
granular scripting possible. I am not sure if I would go that route now, I
would have to look at it again to see where they are currently. Having said
that they seemed to have been on top of their game at that time. I remember
now... Htmlscript is or was parent company and name of the base scripting
language used to drive Miva engine. That is it, you could create your on
stuff using htmlscript and hook into the Miva commerce functions.
I would say that if you can find a cheap hosting company try it out. If
there are no canned applications that come with what ever package you
choose you would have to learn htmlscript but it is a very simple language
to learn.
