Otherwise, moves from other carts to Miva Merchant are done every day. Miva Merchant, the company, might be able to help with the conversion. There are also independent consultants who specialize in Miva Merchant.

I am Relationship Manager for Heartland, we are the 4th largest processor and are endorsed by 36 state restaurant associations and process for Yankee, Cowboy stadium and over 300,000 merchants, we are the good guys. I have a client that is currently utilizing yahoo store iPayment but can't use us to process his credit cards. They process about $300,000-500,000 per month so I was going to switch them to Miva. How hard is this process? Can Miva assist with conversion? Thanks, Anthony HPS Austin, Texas That’s good stuff.

You're right. I can't really say Miva is 100% secure - nothing really is anymore. I think one thing that helps is Miva's streaming updates, so, unlike most PHP apps, if there is an issue, you're notified as soon as a fix is available, and it's a simple click or two to be up to date. You're also right about third party app vulnerabilities. It's better with MM5.5 than it was with MM4, for a variety of reasons, but still, it's possible to really cause problems if coded poorly or released too quickly. Fortunately the community is tight-knit enough to deal with all this together. Thanks for your comments, Matt. You’re right. I can’t really say Miva is 100% secure – nothing really is anymore.
