Released August 24, 2026
Miva 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.
Miva 26R2.1 Release Notes#
26R2.1 is a minor release including some bug fixes and the following feature highlights
Persistent Admin Navigation#
The Miva admin sticky page header now appears below the main navigation, keeping Universal Search, bookmarks, history, and other navigation tools available while scrolling.
Vexture Merchandising Basket Item Exclusions#
Merchants can now configure Vexture Merchandising Showcases to exclude products that are already in a shopper’s basket. This helps showcases such as “You May Also Like” surface additional products instead of recommending items the shopper has already selected.
Improved Exact Match Searching for Multi-Text Custom Fields#
Multi-text custom fields configured to use Exact matching now return results based on an exact match instead of behaving like a Contains search. This improves product search accuracy, including relational custom field searches used with Vexture Search.
UPS InsureShield Coverage Confirmation Improvements#
UPS InsureShield coverage selected at checkout is confirmed when an order is shipped with the required tracking. Merchants can review quote details and confirmation status within the order, view the latest error if confirmation fails, and manually retry coverage confirmation.
Shipping Visibility for Kits and Inventory Variants#
Shipping Details now shows the individual products included in a package for Kits and Inventory Variants. Miva also shows the parent item, making package contents easier to identify.
MivaPay Vault CVV Support for Stored Cards#
Merchants can configure the Card Verification Value (CVV) requirement for stored MivaPay Vault cards during order processing as Hidden, Optional, or Required. The payment form also displays the cardholder name and expiration date during authorization.
Rich Text Inventory Messages#
Inventory stock messages now support the Rich Text Editor for in-stock, low-stock, out-of-stock, and limited-stock messaging. Merchants can add formatted content globally and at the individual product level.
Admin Session Timeout Warning#
Miva now displays a warning and countdown when an admin session is approaching its automatic timeout.
FedEx Box Types Minimum Weight#
To avoid minimum weight issues, FedEx REST now sets package weights to a minimum of 0.07lb for FedEx box types.
