Miva Training Resources:
A Beginner's Guide to Miva Merchant by Pamela Hazleton. This is a downloadable PDF e-book. 200+ page reference for all that you can do within the admin interface, from setting up your store to retrieving the orders. Highly recommended!
Miva Online Training - $49.95 for a 6 week, self-paced, online course in Miva Merchant. You can probably set up your basic store while taking this class.
MivaHelp.com Tutorials - (Free) Some good information. Some tutorials are advanced because they modify the scripts for modules.
CD-ROM training set - $99.00 I haven't checked this out, but it's probably very useful.
Miva Modules:
MVCOOL - One stop shopping for a LOT of available modules. Before you purchase any modules, please ask me. I may have a bulk purchase deal going on some of them.
Emporiumplus.com - This company sells server wide licenses. This means that if you are on the shared server - securestorefront.com or safesecurecart.com - all the stores on that server will be able to share the module and not have to buy multiple copies.
