Miva Merchant updates include code and database changes that can take a short time to process. While we thoroughly test all updates to ensure they will not affect up-time it is still a good precaution to run updates outside of peak hours.
26R1.1 is minor release including the following feature highlights
MivaPay now supports Google Pay and Apple Pay, giving merchants faster, more convenient checkout options for shoppers. These wallet payment methods allow customers to quickly complete purchases using stored payment and shipping details.
These features can be enabled through MivaPay without replacing your existing credit card processor, allowing you to continue using your current gateway while adding modern wallet options to your checkout.

Merchants can now control whether individual products appear in storefront search results using a new “Exclude from Search Results” setting at the product level.
This feature is useful for products that should remain active in the catalog but not be discoverable through search, such as discontinued items with SEO value, custom one-off products, or internal-use products.
When enabled, the product will be excluded from both standard and AI-powered search results, while remaining accessible via direct links, collections, or other merchandising tools.
The setting is available on the Add/Edit Product screen and can also be managed through imports, APIs, and product feeds.

Miva now integrates with UPS InsureShield, allowing merchants to offer shipping insurance during checkout. Customers can add optional protection against lost, damaged, or stolen packages.
