Do I have to use the Simple Mode Administration to configure my Miva Merchant Storefront?

Answer by:  Frédérique Taillefer, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

The Simple Administration Mode is meant to help new users quickly begin to build their online stores by following an easy-to-use, multi-step wizard. Although it is the mode displayed by default the first time that you log in to your Miva Merchant administration interface, you do not have to use it to build your store.

If you do not wish to use the Simple Administration Mode interface, you may click the link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen: "Switch to Advanced Administration". This will bring you to the Miva Merchant Advanced Administration Mode interface, which is the "classic" administration interface.
