Pseudo Pages#

Pseudo Pages are an essential but often overlooked component of Miva Merchant’s architecture. Unlike standard pages visible in the Admin interface, Pseudo Pages operate behind the scenes, managing critical workflows and automating page redirection based on predefined conditions. Understanding how Pseudo Pages function and how to configure them empowers administrators to optimize processes like checkout, account management, and order tracking.

OINF: The Checkout Pseudo Page#

What is OINF?#

The OINF Pseudo Page is the backbone of Miva Merchant’s checkout process. While it is not directly visible in the Admin interface, it plays a crucial role in determining the user’s journey from browsing to checkout. Based on the user’s login status, OINF redirects them to either:

  • The Login Page (ORDL) if they are not logged in.
  • The Checkout Step 1 Page (OCST) if they are logged in.

Configuring OINF#

Administrators can configure OINF in the User Interface > Global Settings > Settings tab within the Shopping Interface Settings section. Key options include:

  • Display Customer Login Before Checkout: When enabled, this option prompts users to log in before proceeding to checkout. Disabling it allows users to continue to the first checkout step without logging in.

Other Common Pseudo Pages#

While OINF is the most frequently utilized Pseudo Page, Miva Merchant includes several others that streamline key processes:

  1. ACNT: Manages account creation and updates.
  2. AFAE: Handles the “Forgot Password” workflow.
  3. OUSL: Manages user logout processes.

Each Pseudo Page is designed to address a specific workflow, ensuring smooth and automated transitions between steps.

Summary#

Pseudo Pages are a vital component of Miva Merchant’s backend, automating key workflows and enhancing the user experience. By understanding their functionality and configuration, administrators can streamline processes like checkout and account management, ensuring a seamless and efficient customer journey.

Key Takeaways

  • Pseudo Pages like OINF manage critical workflows invisibly.
  • Configurations, such as “Display Customer Login Before Checkout,” allow for tailored user experiences.
  • Leveraging other Pseudo Pages (ACNT, AFAE, OUSL) provides comprehensive control over account and session management.
