[note]
I'm please to announce MIVA Merchant 5 and MIVA Merchant Fast Track are now supported directly within Plesk 8.1.1. That said, it looks like Remik beat me to the punch!
This integration is very nice - it automatically installs MIVA Empresa in a single server wide location, then configures each virtual host that requires MIVA Empresa support using the env.so environment variable method. The installation includes all available commerce libraries and OpenSSL configuration, so installing MIVA Merchant and Fast Track on Plesk based servers is a breeze!

SWsoft Announces the Availability of MIVA E-commerce Software with Plesk
March 28, 2007
HERNDON, Va. and SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 28, 2007 – Service providers can now offer their customers an easy way to develop, maintain and grow an online business thanks to a new software offering available from SWsoft and MIVA Small Business Solutions, Inc. Through an agreement between the two companies, SWsoft will resell MIVA Merchant™ e-commerce software and will deliver integrated support for MIVA in the SWsoft Plesk control panel.
SWsoft is offering two versions of MIVA Merchant software with Plesk: MIVA Merchant 5 for small-to medium-size businesses and MIVA Merchant Fast Track for smaller and start-up businesses. By adding MIVA support to Plesk, hosting providers will benefit from patented technology in Plesk that will allow them to automate a large number of tasks and lower the cost of offering MIVA software to their customers.
"The agreement with MIVA allows us to deliver a powerful solution for service providers, which integrates two leading technologies – SWsoft Plesk control panel and MIVA Merchant," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. "The partnership advances our OPEN FUSION strategy by creating a unified platform for hosted e-commerce."
"By partnering with SWsoft, we will enable service providers to offer their customers a comprehensive e-commerce solution that is flexible, reliable, expandable and easy to use," said James Harrell, vice president and general manager of MIVA Small Business. "We believe that the combination of MIVA Merchant with Plesk will create new revenue streams for hosters through e-commerce offerings and software leasing agreements."
