1. What determines what the customers credit card statement says it's from? Would it be the business name on my SSL or the one used on my merchant account? My bank account will be setup under a LLC with a different name then I want displayed on my customers CC statement. Ex: bank account is under "ABC Marketing, LLC" but I want the CC statement to be billed from XYZ Company. This is strange but XYZ Company is actually a LLC in another state but they want ME to handle the books, merchant account, banking, etc. Then I'd generate sales reports and stuff then send them the money owed to them. So can I use the XYZ Company (minus the LLC) name when setting up my accounts, certificates, etc even though the name is XYZ Company, LLC in another state?
2. When the customer begins the ordering process I plan to have a wizard guide them though. I will develop this myself in PHP. I would like the end result of the wizard to land the customer on a Miva checkout page with a certain item already in their cart. This "certain item" would be determined on how they answered the questions in the wizard. Like after they answer all the questions the product number would be #abc123, xyz456, etc depending on how they answered. In Miva I'd setup the product and such. I guess what I am getting at is it possible via a link (generate by the wizard) to add an item to a customers cart and have them on the checkout page? Also, I don't want them to be able to browse items, they HAVE to go through the short wizard. So all I really need Miva for is the checkout process and managing the products (I think)?
3. Based on above do I even need Miva? I could create the wizard, customer accounts, mySQL dB and order form myself. But I'm not sure how to handle the CC processing once the order form is submitted.
1. I think the name will reflect the name from the merchant account, though I am not 100% sure.
2. Well if the wizard and eveything are going to be php you could have php fire off a string at miva to add something to the cart and then have php send them to the checkout. In theory it should work, you should look at the miva calls more and understand how they work but I don't think it will be that difficult.
3. It sounds like you may not need it actually. It may be just as much work to get miva to do what you want as to code it yourself. Take a look at the CC processor, they should have some type of documentation as too how to code it.

PS I'm going to attempt to code my own;-)
