    Miva Merchant 5.5 "Wombat" is now in Beta 1

    You can now stream the Wombat beta into your store to test and use these new features:
    1. Order Management (advanced Credit Card features are only supported with CHASE Paymentech at this time, we will be adding Innovative in Beta 2. However you can use any real time gateway for the Authorize/Capture functions in the new order processing, only the Void, Refund and Partial Capture will not work)
    2. The new CSS UI (which is replacing MMUI as the default)
    3. Label printing for USPS and UPS
    4. Address Line 2
    5. Picklists
    6. RMA Issuance and Tracking
    7. Order Status
    8. Order History


    What's not in this beta:
    1. Inventory at the Attribute Level
    2. Updated Fed Ex integration with label printing
    3. Fulfillment modules that email Order Status changes automatically (however the API's are included for developers)


    F.A.Q.

    Q) How do I get the beta?

    A) Make sure your 5.5 store is fully up to date it shows "Software Up-To-Date". Login to your 5.5 admin, expand the Global Settings -> Domain Settings -> Upgrade Settings -> Upgrade Stream change from Production to Beta. Click Update and then you'll notice there are updates available via the streaming update mechanism. Run the Wombat Beta 1 update on your store.

    Q) Will this break my store?

    A) The streaming update system is designed to not break your store during a failed update, however this is a Beta 1 release and is not recommended to be installed on a live store without first testing on a development copy.

    Q) If I use the Beta can I ever get back to the production release?

    A) Yes, this beta is specifically designed to allow you to continue streaming updates and ultimately have the production release when it ships.

    Q) Is there API Docs or a Limited Source Kit available?

    A) Both will be posted very shortly in the developer section of the Forums. We'll post an update here when they're available, it should be no later than Wednesday October 21.

      One thing I forgot to mention that IS included in this Beta:

      SEO Short Links now automatically propagate through the default templates.

      This will only be visible if you're using the CSS UI since we no longer make updates to existing store templates during the upgrade process.

      You can see them in action at my demo Wombat store http://store.yellowtee.com

              Hey Rick,
              Do you have an idea when the "Inventory at the Attribute Level" feature will be available ?

                It's in the Beta now and in use in live stores. It'll be in Core 18 when released shortly to the Production Stream.
